Disclosure
Neither the Fund nor Underlying ETFs invest directly in ether, bitcoin, or other digital assets, or maintain direct exposure to “spot” ether or bitcoin. Investors seeking direct exposure to the price of ether or bitcoin should consider an investment other than the Fund.
Benefits
Growth Potential
Bitcoin was the first decentralized currency and is the largest digital asset by market cap (at over $500b*). It is well established as a digital store of value with a broad user-base and ample liquidity. ARKD offers a vehicle for this long-term strategic holding.

Performance
Market data provided by Alpha Vantage and CryptoCompare. Not investment advice, for informational purposes only. Historical performance is not an indication of future performance.
Cumulative%
Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares when redeemed may be worth more or less than the original cost. Extraordinary performance is attributable in part due to unusually favorable market conditions and may not be repeated or consistently achieved in the future. The Fund’s most recent month-end performance can be found in the fund documents section. Returns for less than one year are not annualized.
Net asset value (“NAV”) returns are based on the dollar value of a single share of the ETF, calculated using the value of the underlying assets of the ETF minus its liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV of Shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Cboe), generally 4:00 pm Eastern time on each business day the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc is open for trading. Market returns are based on the trade price at which shares are bought and sold on the Cboe BZX Exvhange, Inc. using the last share trade. Market performance does not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Total Return reflects the reinvestment of distributions on ex-date for NAV returns and payment date for Market Price returns. The market price of the ETF’s shares may differ significantly from their NAV during periods of market volatility.
