Investment Valuation

Short-term investments are valued at amortized

cost which approximates fair value for daily NAV purposes.

For financial reporting purposes, short-term investments are valued at their

market price using information provided by a third-party pricing service or market quotations.

In each of these situations, valuations

are typically categorized as Level I in the fair value hierarchy.

VIX futures contracts are valued using the Time

Weighted Average Price (TWAP) of the futures during the last 15 minutes of NYSE’s regular trading session, rather than solely from

the VIX futures’ settlement price.

The value of a Fund’s non-exchange-traded Financial Instruments typically is determined

by applying the then-current disseminated levels for the Index to the terms of the Fund’s non-exchange-traded Financial Instruments.

In certain circumstances (e.g., if the Sponsor

believes market quotations do not accurately reflect the fair value of a Fund’s investment, or a trading halt closes an exchange

or market early), the Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, choose to determine a fair value price as the basis for determining the market

value of such investment for such day.

Such fair value prices would generally be determined based on available inputs about the current

value of the underlying VIX futures contract and would be based on principles that the Sponsor deems fair and equitable.

The Funds may use a variety of money market instruments.

Money market instruments generally will be valued using market prices or at amortized cost.

Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations

about the value of an investment.

While the Funds’ policies are intended to result in a calculation of its respective Fund’s

NAV that fairly reflects investment values as of the time of pricing, such Fund cannot ensure that fair values determined by the Sponsor

or persons acting at their direction would accurately reflect the price that a Fund could obtain for an investment if it were to dispose

of that investment as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale).

The prices used by such Fund may differ

from the value that would be realized if the investments were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements.

Options are valued using the last traded price

The effects of trading spreads, financing

costs/fees associated with Financial Instruments, and costs relating to the purchase of U.S.

Treasury securities or similar high

credit quality short-term fixed-income would also be borne by the Funds.

Brokerage commissions on futures contracts are recognized

on a half-turn basis (e.g., the first half is recognized when the contract is purchased (opened) and the second half is recognized

when the transaction is closed).

The Sponsor is currently paying brokerage commissions on VIX futures contracts for the Funds that

exceed variable create/redeem fees collected by more than 0.04% and 0.09% for SVIX and UVIX, respectively, of each Fund's average

net assets annually.

Each Fund is registered as a series of a Delaware statutory trust and is treated as a partnership for U.S.

federal income tax purposes.

Accordingly, no Fund expects to incur U.S.

income tax liability;

rather, each beneficial owner of a Fund’s Shares is required to take into account its allocable share of

its Fund’s income, gain, loss, deductions and other items for its Fund’s taxable year ending with or within the beneficial

owner’s taxable year.

Management of the Funds has reviewed all open

tax years and major jurisdictions (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable) and concluded

that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected

to be taken in future tax returns.

The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total

amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

On an ongoing basis, management monitors its

tax positions taken under the interpretation to determine if adjustments to conclusions are necessary based on factors including, but

not limited to, on-going analysis of tax law, regulation, and interpretations thereof.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments

In seeking to achieve each Fund’s investment

objective, the Sponsor uses a mathematical approach to investing.

Using this approach, the Sponsor determines the type, quantity and

mix of investment positions, including derivative positions, which the Sponsor believes in combination, should produce returns consistent

with a Fund’s objective.

All open derivative positions at period end are

reflected on each respective Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Certain Funds utilized a varying level of derivative instruments in

conjunction with investment securities in seeking to meet their investment objectives during the period.

While the volume of open positions

may vary on a daily basis as each Fund transacts derivatives contracts in order to achieve the appropriate exposure to meet its investment

objective, the volume of these open positions relative to the net assets of each respective Fund at the date of this report is generally

representative of open positions throughout the reporting period.

Following is a description of the derivative instruments

used by the Funds during the reporting period, including the primary underlying risk exposures related to each instrument type.

gain exposure to changes in the value of, or as a substitute for investing directly in (or shorting), an underlying benchmark.

contract obligates the seller to deliver (and the purchaser to accept) the future delivery of a specified quantity and type of asset

at a specified time and place.

The contractual obligations of a buyer or seller may generally be satisfied by taking or making physical

delivery of the underlying commodity, if applicable, or by making an offsetting sale or purchase of an identical futures contract on

the same or linked exchange before the designated date of delivery, or by cash settlement at expiration of contract.

Upon entering into a futures contract, each Fund

is required to deposit and maintain as collateral at least such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is

The initial margin is segregated as cash and/or securities balances with brokers for futures contracts, as disclosed in the

Statements of Financial Condition, and is restricted as to its use.

The Funds that enter into futures contracts maintain collateral at

the broker in the form of cash and/or securities.

Pursuant to the futures contract, each Fund generally agrees to receive from or pay

to the broker(s) an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the futures contract.

Such receipts or payments are known

as variation margin and are recorded by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses.

Each Fund will realize a gain or loss upon closing of

a futures transaction.

Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees,

elements of market risk (specifically exchange rate sensitivity, commodity price risk or equity market volatility risk) and exposure

to loss in excess of the amount of variation margin.

The face or contract amounts reflect the extent of the total exposure each Fund

has in the particular classes of instruments.

Additional risks associated with the use of futures contracts are imperfect correlation

between movements in the price of the futures contracts and the market value of the underlying Index or commodity and the possibility

of an illiquid market for a futures contract.

With futures contracts, there is minimal but some counterparty risk to the Funds since

futures contracts are exchange-traded and the credit risk resides with the Funds’ clearing broker or clearinghouse itself.

futures exchanges and boards of trade limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in futures contract prices during a single trading day.

Once the daily limit has been reached in a particular contract, no trades may be made that day at a price beyond that limit or trading

may be suspended for specified times during the trading day.

Futures contracts prices could move to the limit for several consecutive

trading days with little or no trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of futures positions and potentially subjecting a Fund

to substantial losses.

Option Contracts

An option is a contract that gives the buyer the

right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a specified quantity of a commodity or other instrument at a specific (or strike) price

within a specified period of time, regardless of the market price of that instrument.

An option is a contract that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a specified quantity of a commodity or other instrument at a specific (or strike) price within a specified period of time, regardless of the market price of that instrument.

There are two types of options:

calls and puts.

A call option conveys to the option buyer the right to purchase a particular futures contract at a stated price at any time during the

life of the option.

A put option conveys to the option buyer the right to sell a particular futures contract at a stated price at any

time during the life of the option.

Options written by a Fund may be wholly or partially covered (meaning that the Fund holds an offsetting

position) or uncovered.

In the case of the purchase of an option, the risk of loss of an investor’s entire investment (i.e., the

premium paid plus transaction charges) reflects the nature of an option as a wasting asset that may become worthless when the option

Where an option is written or granted (i.e., sold) uncovered, the seller may be liable to pay substantial additional margin,

and the risk of loss is unlimited, as the seller will be obligated to deliver, or take delivery of, an asset at a predetermined price

which may, upon exercise of the option, be significantly different from the market value.

When a Fund writes a call or put, an amount equal

to the premium received is recorded and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.

Premiums received

from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains.

Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed

are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying futures, swap or security transaction to determine the realized

When a Fund purchases an option, the Fund pays

a premium which is included as an asset on the Statement of Financial Condition and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current

value of the option.

A call option conveys to the option buyer the right to purchase a particular futures contract at a stated price at any time during the life of the option.

A put option conveys to the option buyer the right to sell a particular futures contract at a stated price at any time during the life of the option.

Options written by a Fund may be wholly or partially covered (meaning that the Fund holds an offsetting position) or uncovered.

In the case of the purchase of an option, the risk of loss of an investor’s entire investment (i.e., the premium paid plus transaction charges) reflects the nature of an option as a wasting asset that may become worthless when the option expires.

Where an option is written or granted (i.e., sold) uncovered, the seller may be liable to pay substantial additional margin, and the risk of loss is unlimited, as the seller will be obligated to deliver, or take delivery of, an asset at a predetermined price which may, upon exercise of the option, be significantly different from the market value.

When a Fund writes a call or put, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written.

Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains.

Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying futures, swap or security transaction to determine the realized gain (loss).

When a Fund purchases an option, the Fund pays a premium which is included as an asset on the Statement of Financial Condition and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option.

Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses.

The risk associated with purchasing

put and call options is limited to the premium paid.

Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to

the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying investment transaction to determine the realized gain (loss) when the

underlying transaction is executed.

Certain options transactions may subject the writer

(seller) to unlimited risk of loss in the event of an increase in the price of the contract to be purchased or delivered.

a Fund’s options transactions, if any, will be affected by, among other things, changes in the value of a Fund’s underlying

benchmark relative to the strike price, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual and implied volatility of the Fund’s underlying

benchmark, and the remaining time until the options expire, or any combination thereof.

The value of the options should not be expected

to increase or decrease at the same rate as the level of the Fund’s underlying benchmark, which may contribute to tracking error.

The value of the options should not be expected to increase or decrease at the same rate as the level of the Fund’s underlying benchmark, which may contribute to tracking error.

Options may be less liquid than certain other securities.

A Fund’s ability to trade options will be dependent on the willingness

of counterparties to trade such options with the Fund.

In a less liquid market for options, a Fund may have difficulty closing out certain

option positions at desired times and prices.

A Fund may experience substantial downside from specific option positions and certain option

positions may expire worthless.

Over-the-counter options generally are not assignable except by agreement between the parties concerned,

and no party or purchaser has any obligation to permit such assignments.

The over-the-counter market for options is relatively illiquid,

particularly for relatively small transactions.

The use of options transactions exposes a Fund to liquidity risk and counterparty credit

risk, and in certain circumstances may expose the Fund to unlimited risk of loss.

The Funds may buy and sell options on futures contracts,

which may present even greater volatility and risk of loss.

Swap Agreements

The Funds may enter into swap agreements for purposes

of pursuing their investment objectives or as a substitute for investing directly in (or shorting) an underlying Index or to create an

economic hedge against a position.

Swap agreements are two-party contracts that have traditionally been entered into primarily with institutional

investors in over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets for a specified period, ranging from a day to more than one year.

the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) provides for significant reforms of

the OTC derivative markets, including a requirement to execute certain swap transactions on a CFTC-regulated market and/or to clear such

transactions through a CFTC-regulated central clearing organization.

In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the

returns earned or realized on a particular predetermined investment, instrument or Index in exchange for a fixed or floating rate of

return in respect of a predetermined notional amount.

Transaction or commission costs are reflected in the benchmark level at which the

transaction is entered into.

The gross returns to be exchanged are calculated with respect to a notional amount and the benchmark returns

to which the swap is linked.

Swap agreements are two-party contracts that have traditionally been entered into primarily with institutional investors in over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets for a specified period, ranging from a day to more than one year.

However, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) provides for significant reforms of the OTC derivative markets, including a requirement to execute certain swap transactions on a CFTC-regulated market and/or to clear such transactions through a CFTC-regulated central clearing organization.

Transaction or commission costs are reflected in the benchmark level at which the transaction is entered into.

The gross returns to be exchanged are calculated with respect to a notional amount and the benchmark returns to which the swap is linked.

Swap agreements do not involve the delivery of underlying instruments.

Generally, swap agreements entered into by the

Funds calculate and settle the obligations of the parties to the agreement on a “net basis” with a single payment.

Consequently,

each Fund’s current obligations (or rights) under a swap agreement will generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or

received under the agreement based on the relative values of such obligations (or rights) (the “net amount”).

swap agreement entered into by UVIX, the would be entitled to settlement payments in the event the level of the benchmark increases and

would be required to make payments to the swap counterparties in the event the level of the benchmark decreases, adjusted for any transaction

costs or trading spreads on the notional amount the Funds may pay.

In a typical swap agreement entered into by SVIX, the Fund would be

required to make payments to the swap counterparties in the event the level of the benchmark increases and would be entitled to settlement

payments in the event the level of the benchmark decreases, adjusted for any transaction costs or trading spreads on the notional amount

the Funds may pay.

The net amount of the excess, if any, of each

Fund’s obligations over its entitlements with respect to each OTC swap agreement is accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash

and/or securities having an aggregate value at least equal to such accrued excess is maintained for the benefit of the counterparty in

a segregated account by the Funds’ Custodian.

The net amount of the excess, if any, of each Fund’s entitlements over its

obligations with respect to each OTC swap agreement is accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash and/or securities having an aggregate

value at least equal to such accrued excess is maintained for the benefit of the Fund in a segregated account by a third party custodian.

Until a swap agreement is settled in cash, the gain or loss on the notional amount less any transaction costs or trading spreads payable

by each Fund on the notional amount are recorded as “unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap agreements” and, when

cash is exchanged, the gain or loss realized is recorded as “realized gains or losses on swap agreements.” Swap agreements

are generally valued at the last settled price of the benchmark referenced asset.

Swap agreements contain various conditions, events

of default, termination events, covenants and representations.

The triggering of certain events or the default on certain terms of the

agreement could allow a party to terminate a transaction under the agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the

net positions owed to the party under the agreement.

This could cause a Fund to have to enter into a new transaction with the same counterparty,

enter into a transaction with a different counterparty or seek to achieve its investment objective through any number of different investments

or investment techniques.

Swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements

of market risk and exposure to loss in excess of the unrealized gain/loss reflected.

The notional amounts reflect the extent of the total

investment exposure each Fund has under the swap agreement, which may exceed the NAV of each Fund.

Additional risks associated with the

use of swap agreements are imperfect correlations between movements in the notional amount and the price of the underlying reference

Index and the inability of counterparties to perform.

Each Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a

swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty.

A Fund will typically enter into swap agreements

only with major global financial institutions.

The creditworthiness of each of the firms that is a party to a swap agreement is monitored

by the Sponsor.

The Sponsor may use various techniques to minimize credit risk including early termination and payment, using different

counterparties, limiting the net amount due from any individual counterparty and generally requiring collateral to be posted by the counterparty

in an amount approximately equal to that owed to the Funds.

Outstanding swap agreements contractually terminate within one month but

may be terminated without penalty by either party at any time.

Upon termination, the Fund is obligated to pay or receive the “unrealized

appreciation or depreciation” amount.

The Funds, as applicable, collateralize swap agreements

by segregating or designating cash and/or certain securities as indicated on the Statements of Financial Condition or Schedules of Investments.

As noted above, collateral posted in connection with OTC derivative transactions is held for the benefit of the counterparty in a segregated

tri-party account at the Custodian to protect the counterparty against non-payment by the Funds.

The collateral held in this account

is restricted as to its use.

In the event of a default by the counterparty, the Funds will seek withdrawal of this collateral from the

segregated account and may incur certain costs in exercising its right with respect to the collateral.

If a counterparty becomes bankrupt

or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Funds may experience significant delays in obtaining

any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganizational proceeding.

The Funds may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery

in such circumstances.

The Funds remain subject to credit risk with respect

to the amount they expect to receive from counterparties.

However, the Funds have sought to mitigate these risks in connection with OTC

swaps by generally requiring that the counterparties for each Fund agree to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market

daily, in an amount approximately equal to what the counterparty owes the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds.

In the event of

a bankruptcy of a counterparty, such Fund will have direct access to the collateral received from the counterparty, generally as of the

day prior to the bankruptcy, because there is a one day time lag between the Fund’s request for collateral and the delivery of

such collateral.

To the extent any such collateral is insufficient, the Funds will be exposed to counterparty risk as described above,

including the possible delays in recovering amounts as a result of bankruptcy proceedings.

The counterparty/credit risk for cleared derivative

transactions is generally lower than for OTC derivatives since generally a clearing organization becomes substituted for each counterparty

to a cleared derivative contract and, in effect, guarantees the parties’ performance under the contract as each party to a trade

looks only to the clearing organization for performance of financial obligations.

In addition, cleared derivative transactions benefit

from daily marking- to-market and settlement, and segregation and minimum capital requirements applicable to intermediaries.

Generally, swap agreements entered into by the Funds calculate and settle the obligations of the parties to the agreement on a “net basis” with a single payment.

Consequently, each Fund’s current obligations (or rights) under a swap agreement will generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative values of such obligations (or rights) (the “net amount”).

In a typical swap agreement entered into by UVIX, the would be entitled to settlement payments in the event the level of the benchmark increases and would be required to make payments to the swap counterparties in the event the level of the benchmark decreases, adjusted for any transaction costs or trading spreads on the notional amount the Funds may pay.

The net amount of the excess, if any, of each Fund’s obligations over its entitlements with respect to each OTC swap agreement is accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash and/or securities having an aggregate value at least equal to such accrued excess is maintained for the benefit of the counterparty in a segregated account by the Funds’ Custodian.

The net amount of the excess, if any, of each Fund’s entitlements over its obligations with respect to each OTC swap agreement is accrued on a daily basis and an amount of cash and/or securities having an aggregate value at least equal to such accrued excess is maintained for the benefit of the Fund in a segregated account by a third party custodian.

Until a swap agreement is settled in cash, the gain or loss on the notional amount less any transaction costs or trading spreads payable by each Fund on the notional amount are recorded as “unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap agreements” and, when cash is exchanged, the gain or loss realized is recorded as “realized gains or losses on swap agreements.” Swap agreements are generally valued at the last settled price of the benchmark referenced asset.

Swap agreements contain various conditions, events of default, termination events, covenants and representations.

The triggering of certain events or the default on certain terms of the agreement could allow a party to terminate a transaction under the agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal to the net positions owed to the party under the agreement.

This could cause a Fund to have to enter into a new transaction with the same counterparty, enter into a transaction with a different counterparty or seek to achieve its investment objective through any number of different investments or investment techniques.

Swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk and exposure to loss in excess of the unrealized gain/loss reflected.

The notional amounts reflect the extent of the total investment exposure each Fund has under the swap agreement, which may exceed the NAV of each Fund.

Additional risks associated with the use of swap agreements are imperfect correlations between movements in the notional amount and the price of the underlying reference Index and the inability of counterparties to perform.

Each Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty.

A Fund will typically enter into swap agreements only with major global financial institutions.

The creditworthiness of each of the firms that is a party to a swap agreement is monitored by the Sponsor.

The Sponsor may use various techniques to minimize credit risk including early termination and payment, using different counterparties, limiting the net amount due from any individual counterparty and generally requiring collateral to be posted by the counterparty in an amount approximately equal to that owed to the Funds.

Outstanding swap agreements contractually terminate within one month but may be terminated without penalty by either party at any time.

Upon termination, the Fund is obligated to pay or receive the “unrealized appreciation or depreciation” amount.

The Funds, as applicable, collateralize swap agreements by segregating or designating cash and/or certain securities as indicated on the Statements of Financial Condition or Schedules of Investments.

As noted above, collateral posted in connection with OTC derivative transactions is held for the benefit of the counterparty in a segregated tri-party account at the Custodian to protect the counterparty against non-payment by the Funds.

The collateral held in this account is restricted as to its use.

In the event of a default by the counterparty, the Funds will seek withdrawal of this collateral from the segregated account and may incur certain costs in exercising its right with respect to the collateral.

If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties, the Funds may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery in a bankruptcy or other reorganizational proceeding.

The Funds may obtain only limited recovery or may obtain no recovery in such circumstances.

The Funds remain subject to credit risk with respect to the amount they expect to receive from counterparties.

However, the Funds have sought to mitigate these risks in connection with OTC swaps by generally requiring that the counterparties for each Fund agree to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market daily, in an amount approximately equal to what the counterparty owes the Fund, subject to certain minimum thresholds.

In the event of a bankruptcy of a counterparty, such Fund will have direct access to the collateral received from the counterparty, generally as of the day prior to the bankruptcy, because there is a one day time lag between the Fund’s request for collateral and the delivery of such collateral.

To the extent any such collateral is insufficient, the Funds will be exposed to counterparty risk as described above, including the possible delays in recovering amounts as a result of bankruptcy proceedings.

The counterparty/credit risk for cleared derivative transactions is generally lower than for OTC derivatives since generally a clearing organization becomes substituted for each counterparty to a cleared derivative contract and, in effect, guarantees the parties’ performance under the contract as each party to a trade looks only to the clearing organization for performance of financial obligations.

In addition, cleared derivative transactions benefit from daily marking- to-market and settlement, and segregation and minimum capital requirements applicable to intermediaries.

The manner by which Creation Units are purchased or redeemed is governed by the terms of the Authorized Participant Agreement and Authorized Participant Procedures Handbook.

By placing a purchase order, an Authorized Participant agrees to:

(1) deposit cash with the Custodian;

and (2) if permitted by the Sponsor in its

sole discretion, enter into or arrange for an exchange of futures contract for related position or block trade with the relevant fund

whereby the Authorized Participant would also transfer to such Fund a number and type of exchange-traded futures contracts at or near

the closing settlement price for such contracts on the purchase order date.

Authorized Participants may pay a fee up to 0.03 %

of the value of each order they place with each order to create or redeem a Creation Unit in order to compensate the Administrator, the

Custodian and the Transfer Agent of each Fund and its Shares, for services in processing the creation and redemption of Creation Units

and to offset the costs of increasing or decreasing derivative positions, unless the transaction fee is waived or otherwise adjusted

by the Sponsor.

The Sponsor provides such Authorized Participant

with prompt notice in advance of any such waiver or adjustment of the transaction fee.

Authorized Participants may sell the Shares included

in the Creation Units they purchase from the Funds to other investors in the secondary market.

Transaction Fees for the three months ended March

investment objective over a period of time greater than a single day (as measured from NAV calculation time to NAV calculation time).

The return of a Fund for a period longer than a single day is the result of its return for each day compounded over the period and usually

even if the performance of its benchmark increases in the case of UVIX (or decreases in the case of SVIX), as a result of daily rebalancing,

the benchmark’s volatility, compounding, and other factors.

Compounding is the cumulative effect of applying investment gains and

losses and income to the principal amount invested over time.

Gains or losses experienced over a given period will increase or reduce

the principal amount invested from which the subsequent period’s returns are calculated.

The effects of compounding will likely

cause the performance of a Fund to differ from the Fund’s stated multiple times the return of its benchmark for the same period.

The effects of compounding will likely cause the performance of a Fund to differ from the Fund’s stated multiple times the return of its benchmark for the same period.

The effect of compounding becomes more pronounced as benchmark volatility and holding period increase.

The impact of compounding will

impact each shareholder differently depending on the period of time an investment in a Fund is held and the volatility of the benchmark

during the holding period of an investment in the Fund.

Longer holding periods, higher benchmark volatility, inverse exposure and greater

leverage each affect the impact of compounding on a Fund’s returns.

Daily compounding of a Fund’s investment returns can

dramatically and adversely affect its longer-term performance during periods of high volatility.

Volatility may be at least as important

to a Fund’s return for a period as the return of the Fund’s underlying benchmark.

Each Fund uses leverage and should produce daily

returns that are more volatile than that of its benchmark.

For example, the daily return of UVIX should be approximately two times as

volatile on a daily basis as is the return of a fund with an objective of matching the same benchmark.

The daily return of SVIX is designed

to return the inverse (-1x) of the return that would be expected of a fund with an objective of matching the same benchmark.

Funds are not appropriate for all investors and present significant risks not applicable to other types of funds.

The Funds use

leverage and are riskier than similarly benchmarked exchange-traded funds that do not use leverage.

An investor should only consider

an investment in a Fund if he or she understands the consequences of seeking daily leveraged or daily inverse investment results.

who invest in the Funds should actively manage and monitor their investments, as frequently as daily.

While the Funds seek to meet their investment

objectives, there is no guarantee they will do so.

Being materially under- or over-exposed to the benchmark may prevent such Funds

from achieving a high degree of correlation with such benchmark.

exposure to requisite levels.

The target amount of portfolio exposure is impacted dynamically by the benchmarks’ movements during

Other things being equal, more significant movement in the value of its benchmark up or down will require more significant

adjustments to a Fund’s portfolio.

Because of this, it is unlikely that the Funds will be perfectly exposed (i.e., -1x, -2x, as

applicable) to its benchmark at the end of each day, and the likelihood of being materially under- or over-exposed is higher on days

when the benchmark levels are volatile near the close of the trading day.

Each Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio on

a daily basis.

The time and manner in which a Fund rebalances its portfolio may vary from day to day depending upon market conditions

and other circumstances at the discretion of the Sponsor.

Unlike other funds that do not rebalance their portfolios as frequently, each

Counterparty Risk

Each Fund may use derivatives such as swap agreements

and forward contracts (collectively referred to herein as “derivatives”) in the manner described herein as a means to achieve

their respective investment objectives.

Each Fund may use derivatives such as swap agreements and forward contracts (collectively referred to herein as “derivatives”) in the manner described herein as a means to achieve their respective investment objectives.

The use of derivatives by a Fund exposes the Fund to counterparty risks.

Regulatory Treatment

Derivatives are generally traded in OTC markets

and have only recently become subject to comprehensive regulation in the United States.

Cash-settled forwards are generally regulated

as “swaps”, whereas physically settled forwards are generally not subject to regulation (in the case of commodities other

than currencies) or subject to the federal securities laws (in the case of securities).

Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act (“Title

VII”) created a regulatory regime for derivatives, with the CFTC responsible for the regulation of swaps and the SEC responsible

for the regulation of “security-based swaps.” The SEC requirements have largely yet to be made effective, but the CFTC requirements

are largely in place.

The CFTC requirements have included rules for some of the types of transactions in which the Funds will engage,

including mandatory clearing and exchange trading, reporting, and margin for OTC swaps.

Title VII also created new categories of regulated

market participants, such as “swap dealers,” “security-based swap dealers,” “major swap participants,”

and “major security-based swap participants” who are, or will be, subject to significant new capital, registration, recordkeeping,

reporting, disclosure, business conduct and other regulatory requirements.

The regulatory requirements under Title VII continue to be

developed and there may be further modifications that could materially and adversely impact the Funds, the markets in which a Fund trades

and the counterparties with which the Fund engages in transactions.

As noted, the CFTC rules may not apply to all

of the swap agreements and forward contracts entered into by the Funds.

Investors, therefore, may not receive the protection of CFTC

regulation or the statutory scheme of the Commodity Exchange Act (the “CEA”) in connection with each Fund’s swap agreements

or forward contracts.

The lack of regulation in these markets could expose investors to significant losses under certain circumstances,

including in the event of trading abuses or financial failure by participants.

The lack of regulation in these markets could expose investors to significant losses under certain circumstances, including in the event of trading abuses or financial failure by participants.

Counterparty Credit Risk

The Funds will be subject to the credit risk of

the counterparties to the derivatives.

In the case of cleared derivatives, the Funds will have credit risk to the clearing corporation

in a similar manner as the Funds would for futures contracts.

In the case of OTC derivatives, the Funds will be subject to the credit

risk of the counterparty to the transaction - typically a single bank or financial institution.

As a result, a Fund is subject to increased

credit risk with respect to the amount it expects to receive from counterparties to OTC derivatives entered into as part of that Fund’s

principal investment strategy.

If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations due to financial difficulties,

a Fund could suffer significant losses on these contracts and the value of an investor’s investment in a Fund may decline.

The Funds have sought to mitigate these risks

by generally requiring that the counterparties for each Fund agree to post collateral for the benefit of the Fund, marked to market daily,

subject to certain minimum thresholds.

However, there are no limitations on the percentage of assets each Fund may invest in swap agreements

or forward contracts with a particular counterparty.

To the extent any such collateral is insufficient or there are delays in accessing

the collateral, the Funds will be exposed to counterparty risk as described above, including possible delays in recovering amounts as

a result of bankruptcy proceedings.

To the extent any such collateral is insufficient or there are delays in accessing the collateral, the Funds will be exposed to counterparty risk as described above, including possible delays in recovering amounts as a result of bankruptcy proceedings.

The Funds typically enter into transactions only with major global financial institutions.

OTC derivatives of the type that may be utilized

by the Funds are generally less liquid than futures contracts because they are not traded on an exchange, do not have uniform terms and

conditions, and are generally entered into based upon the creditworthiness of the parties and the availability of credit support, such

as collateral, and in general, are not transferable without the consent of the counterparty.

These agreements contain various conditions,

events of default, termination events, covenants and representations.

The triggering of certain events or the default on certain terms

of the agreement could allow a party to terminate a transaction under the agreement and request immediate payment in an amount equal

to the net positions owed to the party under the agreement.

For example, if the level of the Fund’s benchmark has a dramatic intraday

move that would cause a material decline in the Fund’s NAV, the terms of the swap may permit the counterparty to immediately close

out the transaction with the Fund.

In that event, it may not be possible for the Fund to enter into another swap or to invest in other

Financial Instruments necessary to achieve the desired exposure consistent with the Fund’s objective.

This, in turn, may prevent

the Fund from achieving its investment objective, particularly if the level of the Fund’s benchmark reverses all or part of its

intraday move by the end of the day.

In addition, cleared derivatives benefit from

daily marking-to-market and settlement, and segregation and minimum capital requirements applicable to intermediaries.

To the extent

the Fund enters into cleared swap transactions, the Fund will deposit collateral with a FCM in cleared swaps customer accounts, which

are required by CFTC regulations to be separate from its proprietary collateral posted for cleared swaps transactions.

Cleared swap customer

collateral is subject to regulations that closely parallel the regulations governing customer segregated funds for futures transactions

but provide certain additional protections to cleared swaps collateral in the event of a clearing broker or clearing broker customer

For example, in the event of a default of both the clearing broker and a customer of the clearing broker, a clearing house is

only permitted to access the cleared swaps collateral in the legally separate (but operationally comingled) account of the defaulting

cleared swap customer of the clearing broker, as opposed to the treatment of customer segregated funds, under which the clearing house

may access all of the commingled customer segregated funds of a defaulting clearing broker.

Derivatives entered into directly between

two counterparties do not necessarily benefit from such protections, particularly if entered into with an entity that is not registered

as a “swap dealer” with the CFTC.

This exposes the Funds to the risk that a counterparty will not settle a transaction in

accordance with its terms and conditions because of a dispute over the terms of the contract (whether or not bona fide) or because of

a credit or liquidity problem, thus causing the Funds to suffer a loss.

The Sponsor regularly reviews the performance

of its counterparties for, among other things, creditworthiness and execution quality.

In addition, the Sponsor periodically considers

the addition of new counterparties and the counterparties used by a Fund may change at any time.

Each day, the Funds disclose their portfolio

holdings as of the prior Business Day.

Each Fund’s portfolio holdings identifies its counterparties, as applicable.

This portfolio

holdings information may be accessed through the web on the Sponsor’s website at www.volatilityshares.com.

Each counterparty and/or any of its affiliates

may be an Authorized Participant or shareholder of a Fund, subject to applicable law.

The counterparty risk for cleared derivatives

transactions is generally lower than for OTC derivatives.

Once a transaction is cleared, the clearing organization is substituted and

is a Fund’s counterparty on the derivative.

Nevertheless, some risk remains, as there is no assurance that the clearing organization, or its members, will satisfy its obligations to a Fund.

Leverage Risk

The Funds may utilize leverage in seeking to achieve

their respective investment objectives and will lose more money in market environments adverse to their respective daily investment objectives

than funds that do not employ leverage.

The use of leveraged and/or inverse leveraged positions increases the risk of total loss of an

investor’s investment, even over periods as short as a single day.

For example, because UVIX includes a two times

(2x) multiplier, a single-day movement in the relevant benchmark approaching 50% at any point in the day could result in the total loss

or almost total loss of an investor’s investment if that movement is contrary to the investment objective of the Fund in which

an investor has invested, even if such Fund’s benchmark subsequently moves in an opposite direction, eliminating all or a portion

of the movement.

This would be the case with downward single-day or intraday movements in the underlying benchmark of a Fund or upward

single-day or intraday movements in the benchmark of a Fund, even if the underlying benchmark maintains a level greater than zero at

Liquidity Risk

Financial Instruments cannot always be liquidated

at the desired price.

It is difficult to execute a trade at a specific price when there is a relatively small volume of buy and sell

orders in a market.

A market disruption can also make it difficult to liquidate a position or find a swap or forward contract counterparty

at a reasonable cost.

A market disruption can also make it difficult to liquidate a position or find a swap or forward contract counterparty at a reasonable cost.

Market illiquidity may cause losses for the Funds.

The large size of the positions which the Funds may acquire

increases the risk of illiquidity by both making their positions more difficult to liquidate and increasing the losses incurred while

trying to do so.

Any type of disruption or illiquidity will potentially be exacerbated due to the fact that the Funds will typically

invest in Financial Instruments related to one benchmark, which in many cases is highly concentrated.

“Contango” and “Backwardation” Risk

The Funds typically hold futures contracts.

the futures contracts near expiration, they are generally replaced by contracts that have a later expiration.

Thus, for example, a contract

purchased and held in November 2025 may specify a January 2026 expiration.

As that contract nears expiration, it may be replaced by selling

the January 2026 contract and purchasing the contract expiring in March 2026.

This process is referred to as “rolling.” Rolling

may have a positive or negative impact on performance.

For example, historically, the prices of certain types of futures contracts have

frequently been higher for contracts with shorter-term expirations than for contracts with longer-term expirations, which is referred

to as “backwardation.” In these circumstances, absent other factors, the sale of the January 2026 contract would take place

at a price that is higher than the price at which the March 2026 contract is purchased, thereby creating a gain in connection with rolling.

While certain types of futures contracts have historically exhibited consistent periods of backwardation, backwardation will likely not

exist in these markets at all times.

Since the introduction of VIX futures contracts,

there have frequently been periods where VIX futures prices reflect higher expected volatility levels further out in time.

This can result

in a loss from “rolling” the VIX futures to maintain the constant weighted average maturity of the applicable Fund benchmark.

Losses from exchanging a lower priced VIX future for a higher priced longer-term future in the rolling process could adversely affect

the value of a Fund and, accordingly, decrease the return of a Fund.

Natural Disaster/Epidemic Risk

Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes,

fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and other severe weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease, including pandemics

and epidemics (for example, the novel coronavirus COVID-19), have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and markets and have

recently led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and significant market losses.

Such natural disaster and health

crises could exacerbate political, social, and economic risks previously mentioned, and result in significant breakdowns, delays, shutdowns,

social isolation, and other disruptions to important global, local and regional supply chains affected, with potential corresponding

results on the operating performance of the Funds and their investments.

A climate of uncertainty and panic, including the contagion

of infectious viruses or diseases, may adversely affect global, regional, and local economies and reduce the availability of potential

investment opportunities, and increases the difficulty of performing due diligence and modeling market conditions, potentially reducing

the accuracy of financial projections.

Under these circumstances, the Funds may have difficulty achieving their investment objectives

which may adversely impact performance.

Further, such events can be highly disruptive to economies and markets, significantly disrupt

the operations of individual companies (including, but not limited to, the Funds’ Sponsor and third party service providers), sectors,

industries, markets, securities and commodity exchanges, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment,

and other factors affecting the value of the Funds’ investments.

These factors can cause substantial market volatility, exchange

trading suspensions and closures and can impact the ability of the Funds to complete redemptions and otherwise affect Fund performance

and Fund trading in the secondary market.

A widespread crisis may also affect the global economy in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen

at the current time.

Risk that Current Assumptions and Expectations Could Become Outdated

As a Result of Global Economic Shocks

The onset of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19)

has caused significant shocks to global financial markets and economies, with many governments taking extreme actions to slow and contain

the spread of COVID-19.

These actions have had, and likely will continue to have, a severe economic impact on global economies as economic

activity in some instances has essentially ceased.

Financial markets across the globe are experiencing severe distress at least equal

to what was experienced during the global financial crisis in 2008.
