Investment objective & strategy

As of Feb. 23, 2026 · prospectus

Objective. The Hilton Small-MidCap Opportunity ETF (the Fund) seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Strategy. The Fund is actively managed by its investment sub-adviser, Hilton Capital Management, LLC (the Sub-Adviser). The Sub-Adviser uses its proprietary Small & Mid Cap Opportunities investment process (SMCO Process) to seek risk-adjusted returns (returns relative to the risks taken) by investing in U.S. equity securities within the small- and mid-cap asset classes. Using the SMCO Process, the Sub-Adviser seeks to identify mispriced stocks (i.e., stocks whose current market prices do not accurately reflect the Sub-Advisers estimate of their fundamental earnings potential). The Sub-Adviser believes that its disciplined approach will lead to attractive long-term returns. The Sub-Adviser starts with a universe of small- and mid-capitalization stocks (i.e., companies with market capitalizations ranging from $750 million to $30 billion at the time … The Fund is actively managed by its investment sub-adviser, Hilton Capital Management, LLC (the Sub-Adviser). The Sub-Adviser uses its proprietary Small & Mid Cap Opportunities investment process (SMCO Process) to seek risk-adjusted returns (returns relative to the risks taken) by investing in U.S. equity securities within the small- and mid-cap asset classes. Using the SMCO Process, the Sub-Adviser seeks to identify mispriced stocks (i.e., stocks whose current market prices do not accurately reflect the Sub-Advisers estimate of their fundamental earnings potential). The Sub-Adviser believes that its disciplined approach will lead to attractive long-term returns. The Sub-Adviser starts with a universe of small- and mid-capitalization stocks (i.e., companies with market capitalizations ranging from $750 million to $30 billion at the time of first purchase). The Sub-Adviser uses both valuation considerations and fundamental analyses to identify potential investment ideas. The SMCO Process is bottom up oriented (e.g., a company-by-company analysis of factors such as price-to-earnings ratios, earnings per share, etc.). The Sub-Adviser utilizes the SMCO Process to search for potential investments throughout the spectrum of equities. This spectrum encompasses value stocks, which are primarily attractive due to their undervaluation; growth stocks, which are appealing primarily because of their revenue and/or profit growth; and core stocks, which are those that exhibit characteristics of both value and growth stocks. By employing this approach, the Sub-Adviser aims to identify investment opportunities that, in its opinion, are attractive at every stage of the economic cycle, including both periods of economic expansion and contraction. The Sub-Adviser then assesses potential investments in light of its views on the current and anticipated macroeconomic environment (i.e., upswing, mid-cycle, or contraction in the broader economy), current industry market trends, and the quality of the companys management team. Following this assessment, the Sub-Adviser seeks stocks of companies that not only are valued soundly but that the Sub-Adviser views as poised to benefit from improving business prospects. Unlike a strictly deep value approach, which focuses solely on stocks that are significantly undervalued, the Sub-Adviser adopts a more flexible stance. It considers a range of stocks, from those with low valuations to those priced moderately and even some that may seem overvalued, based on its belief in the companys potential for long-term success. The Funds portfolio will typically consist of between 50-75 stocks. The Funds portfolio will consistently consist of stocks that the Sub-Adviser deems fundamentally attractive and reasonably valued. Typically, new positions will represent between 1.0% and 2.0% of the Funds value. No position will exceed 5% of the Funds value at the time of purchase. Position sizes will be adjusted based on the Sub-Advisers periodic evaluations, reflecting changes in risk/reward dynamics. A holding will be fully liquidated if the Sub-Adviser determines that a stock is fully valued, encounters a discrepancy related to fundamental expectations, or identifies more favorable investment opportunities. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Funds net assets, plus borrowings, will be invested in equity securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies. The 80% policy has been adopted as a non-fundamental investment policy and may be changed without shareholder approval upon approval by the Board of Trustees (the Board) of Tidal Trust II (the Trust) and 60 days written notice to shareholders.
