The story continues

*Monthly distribution is the distribution amount paid by the fund expressed as a percentage of the fund’s NAV as of the market close on the day before the ex-dividend date. Distribution levels may vary from month to month, and minimum distribution amounts are not guaranteed.

**Distribution rate is the annualized payout an investor would receive, expressed as a percentage of NAV, assuming the latest monthly distribution remains constant for the next twelve (12) months. Distribution rates may include return of capital, ordinary dividends, or capital gains. Distributions may coincide with a decline in NAV. Distribution rates represent a single distribution and are not indicative of total returns. Future releases may differ significantly from the latest release and are not guaranteed. As of December 29, 2023, 93.95% of the Fund’s distributions are expected to have been a return of capital. The actual source of distributions may vary at year-end and will be provided on Form 1099-DIV.

†30-Day SEC Return is a standardized return calculation used to compare the returns of mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and other investment options. It represents the rate of return an investor receives in the form of interest or dividends over a 30-day period (assuming the dividends and interest are reinvested).

Risk Disclosure:

Investing involves risks, including possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its stated objectives. The index is unmanaged and does not include the impact of fees. You cannot invest directly in an index.

This information should not be construed as research, investment advice or recommendations regarding any product, strategy or any security. This material is provided for illustrative, educational or informational purposes only and is subject to change. Certain content represents an assessment of market conditions at a particular time and is not a prediction of future events or a guarantee of future results; materials are available as of the date stated and are subject to change without notice.

By selling a call option in exchange for a premium, the Fund will forgo the opportunity to benefit from a potential increase in the value of the Index above the exercise price of such option, but will continue to bear the risk of a decrease in the value of the Index. The premium received from an option may not be sufficient to offset any losses due to fluctuations in the underlying stock over time. Therefore, the risks associated with selling a call option may be similar to the risks associated with selling a put option. In addition, a Fund’s ability to sell the securities underlying the option will be limited while the option is in force unless the Fund cancels the option position by purchasing an offsetting identical option prior to expiration of the written option. As the writer of a call option, the Fund may have no control over the time at which obligations to the option purchaser may be required to be satisfied; however, the terms of the FLEX options established by the Fund provide that they may only be exercised on the expiration date. In volatile markets, exchanges may suspend options trading. If trading is suspended, the Fund may not be able to sell options when needed or advantageous. The premium received by the Fund from writing call options will generate short-term capital gains and will be distributed as ordinary income. Therefore, the effective tax rate on a significant portion of distributions may be higher than the tax rates that would apply if the Fund adopted a different investment strategy.

The Fund may invest in derivatives, which are generally more volatile than other investments and may magnify the Fund’s gains or losses. Derivatives (i.e. futures/forwards, swaps and options) are contracts that derive their value from the performance of an underlying asset. The principal risks of derivatives are that changes in the market value of an asset may be disproportionate to the derivative and that some derivatives may have the potential for unlimited losses. Derivatives are also subject to liquidity and counterparty risks. The Fund is subject to liquidity risk, which means that certain investments may be difficult to purchase or sell at a reasonable time and price. If transactions in these securities are large, they may not be initiated, which could result in a loss for the Fund. Counterparty risk is the risk of loss resulting from the failure of an agreed counterparty to make required payments or otherwise comply with the terms of a derivative.

The Fund’s ability to achieve their respective investment objectives depends in part on the continued supply of A Shares and the ability to obtain additional A Share quota when necessary. If the Fund is unable to obtain sufficient exposure with its limited A-share quota, the Fund may seek exposure to the relevant index component securities by investing in other types of securities. The Fund is affected by political, social or economic instability in China, which may cause a decline in value. Emerging markets involve higher risks related to the same factors, as well as increased volatility and reduced trading volumes. Fluctuations in foreign currencies may adversely affect the value of domestic currencies. The fund may invest in initial public offerings (IPOs). Securities issued in an IPO have no trading history, and information about the company may be available for a very limited time. In addition, the prices of securities sold in an initial public offering may fluctuate significantly. In addition, as the fund size expands, the impact of IPOs on fund performance will generally decrease.

The fund is new and does not yet have a significant number of shares outstanding. If a fund does not expand in size, its shares will be subject to greater risks than larger funds, with its shares trading at a higher or higher price than net asset value, liquidation and/or trading suspensions, wider bid-ask spreads. Investments with a narrow range typically exhibit higher volatility. The Fund’s assets are expected to be concentrated in a sector, industry, market or concentration group to the extent that the underlying index has such concentration. Securities or futures in that concentration may respond similarly to market developments. As a result, the Fund suffers losses from adverse events that affect concentration. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, investments in smaller companies typically exhibit a higher degree of volatility. KLIP is non-diversified.

ETF shares are bought and sold on exchanges at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the fund. However, certain authorized broker-dealers (authorized participants) may redeem shares of very large creation/redemption units directly at NAV. The returns shown are not representative of the returns you would receive if you traded the stock at other times. Shares may trade in the secondary market at a premium to their net asset value. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Beginning December 23, 2020, market price returns are based on the official closing price of the ETF’s stock or, if there is no official closing price, the midpoint between the national best bid price and the national best sell price (” NBBO”): The time at which the ETF calculates its current net asset value per share. Previously, market price returns were based on the midpoint between the bid and ask prices. NAV is calculated using prices as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

KraneShares ETFs and KFA Funds ETFs are distributed by SEI Investments Distribution Company (SIDCO), 1 Freedom Valley Drive, Oaks, PA 19456, which is not affiliated with Krane Funds Advisors, LLC, or any subsidiary of the funds. Fund advisor.
