How does the Anthropic position affect LAZR’s NAV?
LAZR trades on the New York Stock Exchange, where its market price is determined throughout the day by supply and demand. The fund’s net asset value is calculated at the end of each trading day. Because Anthropic is held through an SPV, changes in its underlying valuation may be reflected less frequently than changes in LAZR’s publicly traded holdings.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.
The market price returns are based on the official closing price of an ETF share or, if the official closing price isn’t available, the midpoint between the national best bid and national best offer (“NBBO”) as of the time the ETF calculates current NAV per share, and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time. The first trading date is typically several days after the fund inception date. Therefore, NAV is used to calculate market returns prior to the first trade date because there is no bid/ask spread until the fund starts trading.

Risk Information
Carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risk factors, charges and expenses before investing. This and additional information can be found in the Fund’s prospectus or summary prospectus, which may be obtained by visiting www.temaetfs.com/LAZR. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.
Investing involves risk including possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee the fund's investment strategy will be successful.
Sector Focus Risk: The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in one or more sectors and thus will be more susceptible to the risks affecting those sectors than funds that have more diversified holdings across a number of sectors. The Fund anticipates that it may be subject to some or all of the risks described below.
Optical and Photonic Companies Risk: The Fund invests in Optical and Photonic Companies, which may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel and are subject to the risks of changes in business cycles, world economic growth, technological progress and government regulation. These companies are also heavily dependent on intellectual property rights, and challenges to or misappropriation of such rights could have a material adverse effect on such companies. Securities of Optical and Photonic Companies tend to be more volatile than securities of companies that rely less heavily on technology. Optical and Photonic Companies typically engage in significant amounts of spending on research and development, and rapid changes to the field could have a material adverse effect on a company’s operating results. Additionally, the development, design, manufacturing, and commercialization of optical and photonic technologies, as well as related subsystems, equipment, materials, and services, are complex and evolving, and may face unforeseen technical challenges (including integration, signal integrity, and manufacturing yield issues), supply chain disruptions, intense competition and pricing volatility, regulatory developments (including export controls on photonic and semiconductor technologies), and market acceptance uncertainties. The commercial adoption of optical interconnect and photonic technologies, including within data center and telecommunications infrastructure, is subject to the pace of broader industry transitions and capital expenditure cycles, which may be slower or more uneven than anticipated. As a result, investments in Optical and Photonic Companies may be subject to higher levels of risk and volatility.
Information Technology Sector Risk: Information technology companies face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, which may have an adverse effect on their profit margins. Like other technology companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights. The loss or impairment of any of these rights may adversely affect the profitability of these companies or the Fund’s performance.
Special Purpose Vehicles and Private Company Risk: SPVs and private company ownership have increased liquidity and valuation risk. These risks may make it difficult for those securities to be traded or valued, especially in the event of adverse economic and liquidity conditions or adverse changes in the issuer’s financial condition. The market for certain non-exchange traded securities may be limited to institutional investors, subjecting such investments to further liquidity risk if a market were to limit institutional trading. There may also be less information available regarding such non-exchange traded securities than for publicly traded securities, which may make it more difficult for the Adviser to fully evaluate the risks of investing in such securities and as a result place the Fund’s assets at greater risk of loss than if the Adviser had more complete information. In addition, the issuers of non-exchange traded securities may be distressed, insolvent, or delinquent in filing information needed to be listed on an exchange. Disposing of non-exchange traded securities, including privately placed securities, may involve time-consuming negotiation and legal expenses, and selling them promptly at an acceptable price may be difficult or impossible. Securities purchased in private placements may be subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Please see https://temaetfs.com/LAZR for more information.
