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.

Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Investors in the Fund should be willing to accept a high degree of volatility in the price of the Fund’s shares and the possibility of significant losses. An investment in the Fund involves a substantial degree of risk.

Sector Focus Risk: The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in one or more sectors, including Industrials, Aerospace and Defense, and thus will be more susceptible to the risks affecting those sectors than funds that have more diversified holdings across several sectors.

Investing in Foreign and emerging markets involves risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions not associated with investments in U.S. securities and instruments. In addition, the fund is exposed to currency risk.

ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Total Returns are calculated using the daily 4:00pm EST net asset value (NAV). Market price returns reflect the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the close of trading of the exchange where Fund shares are listed. Market price returns do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times.

Tema ETFs LLC serves as the investment adviser to Tema International Defense Innovation ETF (the “Fund”), and Tidal Investments LLC serves as a sub-adviser to the Fund. The Fund is distributed by Vigilant Distributors, LLC, which is not affiliated with Tema ETFs LLC nor Tidal Investments LLC. Check the background of Vigilant Distributors, LLC on FINRA’s BrokerCheck.

Implied Liquidity: ETF Implied liquidity is a representation of how many shares can potentially be traded daily in an ETF as portrayed by the creation unit. This is defined as the smallest value of the IDTS (Implied Daily Tradable Shares) for each holding in the creation unit.
