SDMF Simplify DBi CTA Managed Futures Index ETF
The Simplify DBi CTA Managed Futures Index ETF (SDMF) seeks to closely track the DBi CTA Managed Futures Index which is designed to replicate the performance of the largest managed futures funds prior to the deduction of their estimated average fees and expenses. This is achieved through strategic long and short positions in equity, rates, currencies, and commodities futures. These positions are systematically rebalanced on a weekly basis.
This rules-based index relies on a 10-factor replication strategy developed by DBi, who pioneered the use of sophisticated factor models to replicate the managed futures space.

Distribution Rate Close
Distribution rate calculation employs the most recent distribution, and multiplies the payment by 12 (monthly) or 4 (quarterly) to get an annualized total. The annualized total is then divided by the most recent net asset value (NAV) to determine the distribution rate.
The Distribution Rate is the annual rate an investor would receive if the most recently declared distribution, which includes option income, remained the same going forward. The Distribution Rate is calculated by multiplying an ETF’s Distribution per Share by twelve (12), and dividing the resulting amount by the ETF’s most recent NAV. The Distribution Rate represents a single distribution from the ETF and does not represent its total return. The distribution may include a combination of ordinary dividends, capital gains, and return of investor capital and has the potential to change during any given tax year. Please refer to the 19a-1 Notice, which can be found on the Fund’s website, for information regarding the composition of distributions, including return of capital. The final determination of a distribution’s tax character will be made on Form 1099-DIV.

Growth of $10,000
The growth of $10,000 chart reflects a hypothetical investment and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund expenses, including management fees and other expenses were deducted. Results are not indicative of future performance.
The above frequency distribution chart presents information about the difference between the daily market price for shares of the Fund and the Fund's reported Net Asset Value. The amount that the Fund's market price is above the reported NAV is called the premium. The amount that the Fund's market price is below the reported NAV is called the discount. The market price is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the listing exchange, as of the time that the Fund's NAV is calculated (usually 4:00 p.m. EST). The horizontal axis of the chart shows the premium or discount expressed in basis points. The vertical axis indicates the number of trading days in the period covered by the chart. Each bar in the chart shows the number of trading days in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated.
