The Funds option strategy seeks to generate monthly income for the Fund in addition to the yield it receives from the Underlying Investments. The options strategy utilizes a put spread consisting of the sale of exchange listed put options (Short Puts) with a notional value up to 100% of the Funds net assets and the purchase of put options (Long Puts). The Funds adviser, NEOS Investment Management, LLC (the Adviser) may actively manage the written and purchased SPX put options prior to expiration to potentially capture gains and minimize losses due to the movement of the S&P 500 Index. The SPX options strategy is intended to generate high monthly income in a tax efficient manner. The Fund seeks tax efficient returns by utilizing index options that receive favorable tax treatment under Internal Revenue Code rules because they qualify as Section 1256 Contracts. Under these rules, each section 1256 contract held by the Fund at year end is treated as if it were sold at fair market value on the last business day of the tax year. If the Section 1256 contracts produce capital gain or loss, gains or losses on the Section 1256 contracts open at the end of the year, or terminated during the year, are treated as 60% long term and 40% short term, regardless of how long the contracts were held. In addition, the Fund may seek to take advantage of tax loss harvesting opportunities by taking investment losses from certain equity and/or options positions to offset realized taxable gains of equities and/or options. Opportunistically, the Fund may seek to take advantage of tax loss harvesting opportunities on the SPX put options. The Fund focuses primarily on SPX put options which offer both European settlement (i.e., options can only be exercised at their expiration date) and cash settlement (i.e., options carry an obligation by their seller to pay the difference between their strike price and their settlement value instead of allowing the seller to take delivery of securities). The Fund invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in 1-3 month T-Bills, which may be represented by ETFs that invest 80% or more of their assets in US 1-3 month T-Bills, and forwards, options, futures contracts or swap agreements related to such bills. For purposes of the 80% policy, the value of such options, futures contracts and swap agreements shall be determined on a daily mark-to-market basis. The Funds options strategy is designed to seek to generate a positive return in rising and flat equity markets and may generate a positive return in equity markets that are modestly declining, assuming the net premium collected from the options sold and purchased exceeds the net cost to close the positions. The average portfolio duration of the Fund will vary based on the Advisers market forecasts and is expected to be 3-months. Duration is a measure used to determine the sensitivity of a securitys price to changes in interest rates. The longer a securitys duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities in implementing its principal investment strategies.
