About BFIX
The Fund is an actively managed exchange-tradedfund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its investment objective through investing in a non-diversified portfolio of U.S. dollar-denominated,investment-grade bonds of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers and private credit instruments, either directly or indirectly via unaffiliated ETFs(“Underlying Funds”) (the “Fixed Income Strategy”) and long call or long put options linked to the performanceof an equity, ETF, or index (collectively, the “Reference Asset”) (the “Equity Option Overlay Strategy”). Undernormal market conditions, the Fund invests 80% or more of its assets (defined as net assets plus any borrowing for investment purposes,if any) in bond instruments (“80% investment policy”). The Fund seeks to achieve its capital appreciationobjective via two sources: (1) total return on the Fixed Income Strategy, and (2) total return on the Equity Option Overlay Strategy.The Fund seeks to achieve its risk mitigation objective by: (1) maintaining a moderate duration, investment grade (BBB- equivalent orbetter) average credit quality risk profile of its holdings in public credit instruments; (2) maintaining the Fund’s allocationto private credit securities to between 0% and 15% of its holdings, and (3) maintaining the Fund’s allocation to the Equity OptionOverlay Strategy to between 0% and 10% of its holdings. The Fund does not intend to invest in loans collateralized by digital assets otherthan Bitcoin. Fixed Income Strategy Public Credit Instruments The Fund defines public credit instruments toinclude: (i) bonds, (ii) bills, (iii) notes, (iv) loans, (v) debentures, (vi) mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), (vii) consumerasset-backed securities (“ABS”), such as credit card and auto loan receivables, (viii) commercial mortgage-backed securities(“CMBS”) and (ix) any other debt or debt-related securities of any maturities, whether issued by U.S. or non-U.S. governments,agencies or instrumentalities thereof, or corporate and commercial entities, and having fixed, variable, floating or inverse floatingrates. In forming the part of the Fund’s portfoliothat make up the Fund’s public credit instruments, the Adviser selects a portfolio of securities it believes best maximizes theFund’s expected total return potential while maintaining a risk profile consistent with a moderate duration and investment gradeaverage credit quality in its holdings. In analyzing individual securities for inclusion or removal from the Fund’s public creditinstrument holdings, the Adviser evaluates individual fixed income securities or Underlying Funds on a relative value basis in a mannerthat the Adviser believes to be most consistent with the Fund’s stated objectives. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will maintainan investment portfolio of public credit instruments with a weighted average duration of no less than 1 year and no more than 8 years.The Fund anticipates an average maturity of holdings in the public credit instruments of no less than 1 year and no more than 10 years,with no constraint on maturity for any individual fixed income security. Floating rate loans are debt instruments withinterest rates which float, adjust or vary periodically based upon a benchmark indicator, a specified adjustment schedule, or prevailinginterest rates. The Fund invests in U.S. dollar denominated senior floating rate loans of domestic and foreign issuers. Senior floatingrate loans are debt instruments that may have a right to payment that is senior to most other debts of borrowers. Borrowers may includecorporations, partnerships and other entities that operate in a variety of industries and geographic regions, which may from time to timeprepay their loan obligations in response, for example, to changes in interest rates. Senior loans in which the Fund may invest includesecured and unsecured loans. Generally, secured floating rate loans are secured by specific assets of the borrower. The Fund invests in U.S. dollar denominated publiccredit instruments of investment grade quality - i.e., recognized as BBB- or higher by at least one NRSRO (e.g., Standard & Poor’s,Moody’s, or Fitch), or if unrated by an NRSRO, of comparable quality in the opinion of the Adviser. The Fund may invest up to 15%of its net assets in credit instruments that are unrated by an NRSRO. The Fund may own these credit instruments directly or by investingin Underlying Funds which invest primarily in credit instruments. The collateral associated with the credit instruments the Fund may investincludes, but is not limited to, the borrower’s assets such as financial assets including stocks, bonds, insurance policies, accountsreceivable, or other credit instruments; or real assets such as real estate, infrastructure, physical property and equipment, inventories,precious metals, or Bitcoin. The Adviser considers potential credit instrumentinvestments, or investment in an Underlying Fund by evaluating credit quality, nominal yield and spread. With respect to credit quality,the Adviser utilizes its own research, as well as third-party investment research, ratings, and analyses provided by credit ratings agencies(e.g., Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch) and other investment research publishers. Private Credit Instruments The Fund defines private credit instruments toinclude, but not limited to, (i) consumer finance, (ii) residential mortgage loans, (iii) loans backed by collateral, (iv) commercialreal estate, (v) hard assets (through securitized loans) and (vi) financial assets. Private credit instruments include a wide range ofcredit instruments, such as instruments brokered directly between a borrower and lender (or group of lenders) without intermediation throughpublic debt markets, issued in private offerings, and/or originated by non-bank lenders. In forming the part of the Fund’s portfoliothat make up the Fund’s private credit instruments, the Adviser selects private credit instruments that are directly originated(bespoke lending arrangements between a borrower and lender without the intermediation of a financial entity), issued in private offerings,issued by private companies, and/or issued to borrowers by non-bank lenders (i.e., non-bank lending instruments). The Fund may investin private credit instruments that are secured, where the borrower has pledged an asset that it owns (collateral) to obtain financing.Collateral associated with the credit instruments the Fund may invest includes, but is not limited to, the borrower’s assets suchas financial assets including stocks, bonds, insurance policies, accounts receivable, or other credit instruments; or real assets suchas real estate, infrastructure, physical property and equipment, inventories, precious metals, or Bitcoin. The percentage allocation of Fund investmentsto private credit will be no more than 15% of the Fund’s net assets and will vary between 0% to 15% of the Fund’s net assetsdepending on several factors, including the portfolio managers’ viewpoints regarding availability of private credit instruments,market conditions, credit analysis, and other factors the portfolio managers deem to be relevant at any given time. The Fund mayalso seek to achieve exposure to these instruments through investments in private funds. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assetsin private credit instruments deemed to be illiquid (either directly or by investing in Underlying Funds). Under normal conditions, illiquidinvestments may take more than 7 calendar days to sell. Private credit instruments generally are not publiclytraded. The Adviser will not negotiate any terms of any private credit instruments and terms will be negotiated and determined by an originator. Bitcoin The Fund may from time to time invest in publicand private credit instruments with a secured contractual interest in Bitcoin owned by the borrower, subject to security and control agreements.Loans in which the Adviser currently intends to invest are collateralized by a Specified Unit of Beneficial Interest (the “SUBI”),a Uniform Commercial Code Article 8 security. The SUBI is backed by Bitcoin that the borrower must deposit into a multi-signature three-wayvault. The security and control agreements are designed to provide certain protections, including protections of overcollateralization.The agreements are signed by borrowers as part of the loan application process to protect for over collateralization, among other things. The Fund will not invest directly in Bitcoin,exchange-traded commodity-based trusts whose business consists solely of buying and holding Bitcoin, or other exchange-traded productsthat seek to provide “pure-play” or leveraged exposure to Bitcoin. Furthermore, the Fund will not take direct possession ofa borrower’s Bitcoin under transfer or other workout activities in the event of adverse or distressed credit scenarios. As securityfor the payment and performance of the loan, including the payment of any outstanding principal balance, any accrued but unpaid interestand any other amounts due, the borrower grants to the lender a continuing security interest in all of the borrower’s rights, title,and interest in the SUBI. The Bitcoin-backed loans are originated bythird-party servicers that the Adviser conducts extensive and thorough due diligence on. As of the date of this Prospectus, the minimumsize of a Bitcoin-backed loan is $150,000. Over time the principal amount of a loan may fall below this number, as borrowers are allowedto prepay their loan’s principal in whole or in part without penalty. The minimum loan size may change over time as well. The loanamount may differ based on the servicer that originates the loan. The borrowers of the bitcoin-backed loans are U.S.-based commercialborrowers who have chosen to hold Bitcoin as a treasury asset on their business’ balance sheet. All borrowers are reviewed by theservicer to ensure eligibility for a loan. The servicer and Adviser both monitor theloan-to-value ratios of the loans. As of the date of this Prospectus, the loans in which the Adviser currently invests in are originatedwith a 50% loan-to-value ratio. A loan’s loan-to-value ratio will fluctuate over the life of a loan as the market value of thecollateral changes and borrower paydowns may occur. For the Adviser’s existing similar investments, the average loan-to-value ratioof the Fund’s portfolio of Bitcoin-backed loans was 36.82% as of September 30, 2025, and individual loans have ranged from justabove 0% to the 51% maximum. Equity Option Overlay Strategy Under normal market circumstances, the Fund usescall and put option strategies to seek to obtain total return within the desired risk profile. The Fund ordinarily will implement callor put option strategies on the Reference Asset. Call options give the Fund the right but not the obligation to buy the Reference Assetat a specified price (the “strike price”) within a specific time period. Put options give the Fund the right but not the obligationto sell the Reference Asset at a specified price (the “strike price”) within a specific time period. The Fund pays a fee topurchase a call or put option, which is called the premium. In return for the payment of the premium, the Fund is entitled to purchase(sell) the Reference Asset from the writer of the call (put) option at a value equal to the difference between the market price of theReference Asset and the exercise price of the option, if the value of the call (put) option is above (below) its exercise price. Whenthe call (put) option expires and the Fund has not exercised the call option because the value of the call (put) option is below (above)its exercise price, the Fund loses the premium paid. The Fund may sell call or put options but only to close out an existing call optionthe Fund owns (“sell to close”). Pursuant to the Fund’s option strategy,the Fund invests in a series of call or put options on the Reference Asset. The Adviser selects an option based upon its evaluation ofthe option’s cost, strike price, expiration and price sensitivity to the Reference Asset. The Adviser may purchase an option onthe Reference Asset that has a strike price above, at or below the price of the Reference Asset. Through the purchases of a series ofcall options, the Adviser is seeking total return for the Fund to the extent the price of the Reference Asset rises more than the premiumpaid by the Fund for the call options. When the price of the Reference Asset declines and the call options go unexercised, the Fund’stotal return declines as the return is reduced by the premium the Fund paid for the call option. Through the purchases of a seriesof put options, the Adviser is seeking total return for the Fund to the extent the price of the Reference Asset decreases lessthan the premium paid by the Fund for the put options. When the price of the Reference Asset rises and the put options go unexercised,the Fund’s total return declines as the return is reduced by the premium the Fund paid for the put option. The Adviser employs a risk management processto mitigate the risks associated with the option strategy. In addition, under normal market conditions, no more than 10% of the valueof the Fund’s net assets will be subject to the Fund’s option strategy and no more than 2.5% of the Fund’s net assetswill be subject to any single option. In addition, the Adviser considers the impact of transaction costs associated with implementingthe Fund’s option strategy, including whether the potential benefits achieved in rising markets exceeds the negative impact of transactioncosts associated with purchasing call or put options. Under conditions of extreme stress or volatility in broader financial markets, includingthose in the Reference Asset, the Fund will incur increased transaction costs.
