How WILD Works: The Power of Animal Spirits™

How WILD Works: The Power of Animal Spirits™

The VistaShares Animal Spirits Daily 2x Strategy ETF (the “2x Fund”) seeks daily leveraged investment results and is intended to be used as a short-term trading vehicle. The 2x Fund attempts to provide daily investment results that correspond to two times (200%) the share price performance of an actively-managed group of equity securities (the “Target Portfolio”). The 2x Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. The 2x Fund is very different from most mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The volatility of the market value of the Target Portfolio may affect the 2x Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the Target Portfolio’s return. The performance of the 2x Fund for periods longer or shorter than a single day will very likely differ in amount, and possibly even direction, from 200% of the daily return of the Target Portfolio’s market value for the same period, before accounting for fees and expenses. The 2x Fund may not perform as expected. he 2x Fund is not suitable for all investors. The 2x Fund is designed to be utilized only by sophisticated investors, such as traders and active

Beta
 is the measure of the risk or volatility of a portfolio or investment compared with the market as a whole.

Models and Data Risk. The composition of the Index is heavily dependent on proprietary quantitative models as well as information and data supplied by third parties (“Models and Data”). 

High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may actively and frequently trade all or a significant portion of the Fund’s holdings. A high portfolio turnover rate increases transaction costs, which may increase the Fund’s expenses. 

Non-Diversification Risk. Because the Fund is “non-diversified,” it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it was a diversified fund.
