Carefully consider the Funds' investment objectives, risk factors, charges, and expenses before investing. This and additional information can be found in the Funds' prospectuses, which may be obtained by calling 1-844-ETF-MGRS (1-844-383-6477), or by visiting www.etfmgfunds.com. Read the prospectuses carefully before investing.
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), may trade at a discount or premium to NAV and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
ETF Managers Group LLC is the investment adviser to the funds.
The funds are distributed by ETFMG Financial LLC. ETF Managers Group LLC and ETFMG Financial LLC are wholly owned subsidiaries of Exchange Traded Managers Group LLC (collectively, “ETFMG”). ETFMG Financial LLC is not affiliated with PureFunds, ISE, NASDAQ, Deutsche Boerse AG, Solactive AG, or Prime Indexes.
