WLDR Simplify Affinity World Leaders Equity ETF
Morningstar RatingTM Close
Five‑star rating for the overall, three‑year, and five‑year periods in the Morningstar U.S. Fund Global Large‑Stock Value category as of June 30, 2026. Ratings are based on risk‑adjusted returns among 135 funds for the overall and three‑year periods, and 131 funds for the five‑year period.
The Simplify Affinity World Leaders Equity ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE StarMine Affinity World Leaders Index (the “Index”).
The Fund seeks to passively replicate the Index. The Index consists of equity securities issued and traded in the US as well as international countries. The Index is expected to consist of approximately 150 to 250 stocks of companies located in the U.S. and in at least three countries outside of the U.S., and may invest in up to 20 countries. The Index will be significantly invested in the securities of international companies in addition to securities of U.S. companies. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities included in the Index. The Fund may also invest in American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) (collectively “Depositary Receipts”) based on the securities in the Index.
Constituents of the Index are characterized by strong global footprint (measured by market capitalization), rank high on measures of earnings quality, demonstrate improving fundamentals (positive earnings revisions on earnings estimates, revenue estimates, price targets, and analyst recommendations), show stock price momentum, and trade at relatively attractive valuations (based on a ranking from various trading multiples, which are, generally speaking, a ratio of the security’s market price to financial or accounting metrics such as earnings, book value, etc., as well as a dividend discount model, which attempts to determine the current or future value of a security based in part on its dividend payments).

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.

Growth of $10,000

The chart above presents the Fund's daily premium or discount relative to its Net Asset Value (NAV) during the period shown. A premium occurs when the market price of the Fund's shares is greater than the Fund's NAV, while a discount occurs when the market price is less than the Fund's NAV. The market price is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the listing exchange, as of the time the Fund's NAV is calculated (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). The horizontal axis shows the trading dates during the period presented. The vertical axis shows the daily premium or discount expressed as a percentage of NAV. Each bar represents the Fund's premium or discount on a particular trading day. Bars above 0% indicate that the Fund traded at a premium to NAV, while bars below 0% indicate that the Fund traded at a discount to NAV. Past premiums and discounts are not indicative of future results.
