9 Humanoids aim to bring flexible automation to the dangerous, dirty, and dreary work that organizations struggle to staff, retain, and perform safely at scale Dangerous : Take on tasks that expose workers to injury, toxic materials, extreme temperatures, heights, heavy loads, or moving machinery . Dirty : Automate physically unpleasant, contaminated, or sanitation -intensive work that can be difficult to staff consistently . Dreary : Address repetitive, physically taxing, low -variation work that can contribute to boredom, fatigue, absenteeism, and chronic labor shortages .Applications : battery and chemical handling, foundries, warehouses, construction sites, disaster response, mining, and inspection of hazardous industrial environments. Applications: waste sorting, recycling, industrial cleaning, sanitation, food - processing cleanup, sewage and wastewater work, and handling dusty or contaminated materials. Applications: picking and packing, material movement, machine tending, basic assembly, inventory handling, and routine inspection.Traditional industrial robots can automate many fixed, repetitive tasks, but significant labor needs remain in the “last mile” of automation (mobile , variable, and dexterous tasks in environments designed for humans ).

24 Important Notes: Carefully consider the Funds’ investment objectives, risk factors, charges and expenses before investing. This and additional information can be found in the Funds' full and summary prospectus, which may be obtained by visiting https://www.kraneshares.com/etf/koid/ . Read the prospectus carefully before investing. Risk Disclosures: Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its stated objectives. Indices are unmanaged and do not include the effect of fees. One cannot invest directly in an index. This information should not be relied upon as research, investment advice, or a recommendation regarding any products, strate gies, or any security in particular . This material is strictly for illustrative, educational, or informational purposes and is subject to change. Certain content represents an assessment of the market envir onment at a specific time and is not intended to be a forecast of future events or a guarantee of future results; material is as of the dates noted and is subject to change without notice. Humanoid and embedded intelligence technology companies often face high research and capital costs, resulting in variable pro fitability in a competitive market where products can quickly become obsolete. Their reliance on intellectual property makes them vulnerable to losses, while legal and regulatory changes can impact profit ability. Defining these companies can be complex, and some may risk commercial failure. They are also affected by global scientific developments, leading to rapid obsolescence, and may be subject to gover nment regulations. Many companies in which the Fund invests may not currently be profitable, with no guarantee of future success. A-Shares are issued by companies in mainland China and traded on local exchanges. They are available to domestic and certain fo reign investors, including QFIs and those participating in Stock Connect Programs like Shanghai -Hong Kong and Shenzhen -Hong Kong. Foreign investments in A -Shares face various regulations and restrictio ns, including limits on asset repatriation. A -Shares may experience frequent trading halts and illiquidity, which can lead to volatility in the Fund’s share price and increased trading halt ris ks. The Chinese economy is an emerging market, vulnerable to domestic and regional economic and political changes, often showing more volatility than developed markets. Companies face risks from potential gov ernment interventions, and the export -driven economy is sensitive to downturns in key trading partners, impacting the Fund. U.S. -China tensions raise concerns over tariffs and trade restrictions, which could harm China’s exports and the Fund. China’s regulatory standards are less stringent than in the U.S., resulting in limited information about issuers. Tax laws are unclear and subject to change, poten tially impacting the Fund and leading to unexpected liabilities for foreign investors. Fluctuations in currency of foreign countries may have an adverse effect to domestic currency values. The Japanese economy depends heavily on international trade and is vulnerable to economic, political, and social instability, which could affect the Fund. The yen is volatile, influenced by fluctuations in Asia, and has historically shown unpredictable movements against the U.S. dollar. Natural disasters, such as earthquakes and tidal waves, also pose risks. Furthermore, government intervention and an unstable financial services sector can negatively impact the economy, which relies significantly on trade with developing nations in E ast and Southeast Asia. The Fund invests in non -U.S. securities, which can be less liquid and subject to weaker regulatory oversight compared to U.S. se curities. Risks include currency fluctuations, political or economic instability, incomplete financial disclosure, and potential taxes or nationalization of holdings. Foreign trading hours and settlement pro cesses may also limit the Fund’s ability to trade, and different accounting standards can add complexity. Suspensions of foreign securities may adversely impact the Fund, and delays in settlement or holidays may hinder asset liquidation, increasing the risk of loss.
![]()
25 Risk disclosures continued: The Fund may invest in derivatives, which are often more volatile than other investments and may magnify the Fund’s gains or losses. A derivative (i.e., futures/forward contracts, swaps, and options) is a contract that derives its value from the performance of an underlying asset. The primary risk of derivatives is that changes in the asset’s market value and the derivative may not be proportionate, and some derivatives can have the potential for unlimited losses. Derivatives are also subject to liquidity and counterparty risk. The Fund is subject to liquidity risk, meaning that certain investments may become difficult to purchase or sell at a reasonable time and price. If a transaction for these securities is large, it may not be p ossible to initiate, which may cause the Fund to suffer losses. Counterparty risk is the risk of loss in the event that the counterparty to an agreement fails to make required payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the derivative. Large capitalization companies may struggle to adapt fast, impacting their growth compared to smaller firms, especially in ex pansive times. This could result in lower stock returns than investing in smaller and mid -sized companies. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, investments in smaller companies typically e xhibit higher volatility. A large number of shares of the Fund is held by a single shareholder or a small group of shareholders. Redemptions from these shareholder can harm Fund performance, especially in declining markets, leading to forced sales at disadvantageous prices, increased costs, and adverse tax effects for remaining shareholders. The Fund is new and does not yet have a significant number of shares outstanding. If the Fund does not grow in size, it will be at greater risk than larger funds of wider bid -ask spreads for its shares, trading at a greater premium or discount to NAV, liquidation and/or a trading halt. Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit hi gher volatility. The Fund’s assets are expected to be concentrated in a sector, industry, market, or group of concentrations to the extent that the Underlying Index has such concentrations. The securities or futures in that concentration could react similarly to market developments. Thus, the Fund is subject to loss due to adverse occurrences that affect that concentration.
