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.
The fund is distributed by ETFMG Financial LLC, a FINRA registered broker-dealer, which is not affiliated with Spirited Funds LLC.
