The Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in the securities that comprise the Index, which will primarily include U.S. Treasury securities and listed long-dated call options (“LEAP Options”) and/or FLexible EXchange® option contracts (“FLEX Options” and collectively with LEAP Options, “Options”) on the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (“EFA”). The Fund is not a money market fund. The Fund, using an indexing investment approach, attempts to replicate, before fees and expenses, the performance of the Index. The Fund’s investment sub-advisers, Cerity Partners LLC (“Cerity”) and Tidal Investments LLC (“Tidal,” and with Cerity, the “Sub-Advisers”), manage the investment of the Fund’s assets. The index provider is S-Network Global Indexes, Inc. (“S-Network” or the “Index Provider”). The Index Provider is not affiliated with the Fund, Amplify Investments LLC (the “Adviser”) or either Sub-Adviser.

LEAP Options are long-term exchange-traded call options that allow holders the opportunity to participate in the underlying securities’ appreciation in excess of a specified strike price without receiving payments equivalent to any cash dividends declared on the underlying securities. A holder of a LEAP Option will be entitled to receive a specified number of shares of the underlying stock upon payment of the exercise price, and therefore the LEAP Option will be exercisable at any time the price of the underlying stock is above the strike price. However, if at expiration the price of the underlying stock is at or below the strike price, the LEAP Option will expire and be worthless. FLEX Options are customized option contracts with uniquely customizable terms, such as exercise prices, style and expiration dates, and are guaranteed for settlement by the OCC. The OCC guarantees performance by each of the counterparties to the FLEX Options, becoming the “buyer for every seller and the seller for every buyer,” protecting clearing members and options traders from counterparty risk.

The Index is a rules-based, quantitative index that seeks to provide capital protection against the unpredictable, rare and highly disruptive events that have come to be referred to as “Black Swans.” The Index’s strategy is designed to allow for some participation in the investment gains experienced by EFA while providing the opportunity for a buffer against significant losses through the Index’s target portfolio weighting of approximately 90% U.S. Treasury securities. The EFA tracks an index that measures the equity market performance across 21 developed markets outside of the U.S. and Canada and may include large or mid-capitalization companies.

The Index seeks to provide such returns by allocating approximately 10% of its index market capitalization to a portfolio of Options on EFA and approximately 90% of its index market capitalization in a portfolio of U.S. Treasury securities. The EFA Options utilize EFA as the reference asset in order to provide the exposure to the MSCI EAFE Index. Due to the terms of these EFA Options (which are discussed in more detail below), these positions allow the equity portion of the Index to participate in approximately 70% of the upside experienced by EFA over a full market cycle. The U.S. Treasury securities portion of the portfolio is included to help mitigate against significant losses. By allocating approximately 90% of its index market capitalization to U.S. Treasury securities, the Index seeks to create a portfolio buffer that is positioned to preserve capital in the event of a “Black Swan” event. The Index is not designed to provide investment returns that correspond closely with the returns of the MSCI EAFE Index. The Fund is not an appropriate investment for investors who seek such returns.

The EFA Options portfolio is composed of in-the-money Options that, at the time of purchase, have expirations of at least one year and one day in the future and expire in either June or December, as applicable. The EFA Options are subject to customary brokerage costs in addition to the current market price for the Options (i.e. option premium). An “in-the-money” option contract is one that currently presents a profit opportunity due to the relationship between the strike price and the current price of the reference asset. For purchased call option contracts, such as the EFA Options held by the Fund, an in-the-money option contract is one with a strike price that is below the current price of the underlying reference asset. The Options utilized by the Fund will generally have a delta of 70 at the time of purchase, meaning that for every $1.00 of movement in the share price of EFA, each Option will have a corresponding movement of $0.70. Therefore, while not subject to a return cap when EFA experiences gains, the Index generally only participates in approximately 70% of the gains experienced by EFA over a full market cycle. When EFA experiences losses, the EFA Options portfolio participates in approximately 70% of such losses experienced by EFA, but those losses are mitigated by the Index’s approximately 90% position in U.S. Treasury securities.

The U.S. Treasury securities portfolio is composed of U.S. Treasury securities that cumulatively provide an intermediate duration. This duration was selected as the Index’s target duration to seek to lower portfolio risk levels by increasing the probability of low correlation of the U.S. Treasuries to the U.S. equities markets. Duration is a measure of the expected price volatility of a debt security as a result of changes in market rates of interest, based on, among other factors, the weighted average timing of the debt security’s expected principal and interest payments. In general, duration represents the expected percentage change in the value of a security for an immediate 1% change in interest rates. For example, the price of a security with a duration of 10 years would be expected to drop by approximately 10% in response to a 1% increase in interest rates. An “intermediate duration,” is generally referred to as a security with a duration of 5 to 10 years.

The Index reconstitutes and rebalances every June and December. At each June reconstitution, the Index liquidates its existing June Options and purchases Options that expire the following June. The December Option positions will remain unchanged at each June reconstitution. At each December reconstitution, the Index liquidates its existing December Options and purchases Options that expire the following December. The June Options positions will remain unchanged at each December reconstitution. So as to maintain the desired allocation of the portfolio, net gains or losses derived from the reconstitutions of the Options positions are added to or subtracted from the U.S. Treasury securities portfolio at each reconstitution. The Index also rebalances the U.S. Treasury securities portfolio any time the portfolio’s target duration deviates by more than 0.5 years.
