The Simplify US Equity PLUS QIS ETF (SPQ) seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by overlaying a diversified basket of Quantitative Investment Strategies (QIS) on top of a core US equity exposure.

The goal of the 100% equity + 50% QIS portfolio is to enhance both absolute and risk-adjusted returns of a core equity investment.

The fund is also a simple way to gain exposure to an alternative return source without reducing equity exposure.

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 rate may contain return of capital but an estimate cannot be provided at this time. Please refer to the 19a-1 notices for additional details regarding the distributions’ composition once they become available.

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.
