Investor Reassessment:

Investors wishing to maximize exposure to the index tracked by the Fund, the CBOE Volatility Index, in either direction or investors wishing to compound gains over one or more distribution dates must invest any cash distributed, and sell any shares distributed and invest the sale proceeds thereof, in the class of shares aligned with their investment objectives.

The Fund has been designed to be utilized by investors who are prepared to reassess their holding of the Fund's shares at least as frequently as each distribution date. Investors in the Fund who wish to maintain a maximum exposure, a targeted absolute exposure, or a targeted relative exposure to the Underlying Index over multiple distribution dates should reassess their positions following all cash and share distributions, and all Fund resets relating to the Share Index Factors. The Fund will not compound investor gains or otherwise rebalance investor positions to maximize investor exposure. The Fund is designed to make Regular Distributions of cash and in some cases shares to facilitate regular distribution of investor gains and to promote a deliberate and regular reassessment by investors of their investment in the Fund.

Investors who hold shares over one or more consecutive distribution dates without reassessment of their Fund share portfolio may experience decreased exposure to the Underlying Index as well as a reduced opportunity for gain and loss.
