Important Disclosures:

An investment in NEOS ETFs involve risk, including possible loss of principal. The equity securities purchased by the Funds may involve large price swings and potential for loss. There is no guarantee the NEOS ETFs will make monthly distributions and the amounts may fluctuate from month to month. Distributions made by NEOS ETFs have been classified as a return of capital and may be comprised of option premiums, dividends, capital gains, and interest payments. To view both current and historical monthly estimates of ETF distribution composition, investors may view the 19a-1 notices available on each corresponding Fund's webpage. Distributions classified as return of capital will reduce an investor’s cost basis in Fund shares owned, which may result in higher taxes paid in the future when the Fund shares are sold, even if the shares are sold at a loss compared to the original investment.

The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. The use of leverage by the Fund, such as borrowing money to purchase securities or the use of options, will cause the Fund to incur additional expenses and magnify the Fund’s gains or losses. The earnings and prospects of small and medium sized companies are more volatile than larger companies and may experience higher failure rates than larger companies. Small and medium sized companies normally have a lower trading volume than larger companies, which may tend to make their market price fall more disproportionately than larger companies in response to selling pressures and may have limited markets, product lines, or financial resources and lack management experience. The funds are new with a limited operating history.

Investments in smaller companies typically exhibit higher volatility. Investors in NEOS ETFs should be willing to accept a high degree of volatility in the price of the fund’s shares and the possibility of significant losses.

The information on this website does not constitute investment advice or a recommendation of any products, strategies, or services. Investors should consult with a financial professional regarding their individual circumstances before making investment decisions. NEOS Funds or its affiliates, nor Foreside Fund Services, LLC, or its affiliates accept any responsibility for loss arising from the use of the information contained herein.

NEOS ETFs are distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC.

Award-Related Disclosures:

QQQI was awarded "Best New Active ETF" at the 2025 ETF.com Awards. There were ~25 submissions for "Best New Active ETF". The criteria for inclusion were that the ETF needed to be launched in 2025 within the actively managed category. Judges looked at a number of factors including performance, flows, uniqueness, and overall value-add to the ETF space.

NEOS Investments was awarded "Best Options Strategies ETF Issuer ($1bn-$10bn)" at the 2025 ETF Express U.S. Awards. Trackinsight has provided the pre-selection data for ETF issuer shortlists since 2020. To determine candidates, all ETFs that have been listed for the past 12 months are included. For each award category, an issuer’s ETFs within that category are combined to calculate total AUM. Issuers with less than USD 100 million in average assets over the review period are excluded. Shortlists are formed based on the percentage change in AUM over the prior 12 months, and in some categories, issuers are further grouped by asset-size tiers. The resulting shortlist goes into an industry voting survey, with each company limited to 10 internal votes. After review, votes are tallied to determine the winners.

The Wealthmanagement.com Industry Awards are independently granted in recognition of business initiatives that enhance financial advisor success and help advisors create better outcomes for their clients. The program begins with an open nomination process for all categories which extends from February to May. Firms submit business initiatives either introduced or enhanced during the previous 18 months. Submissions are reviewed in June by a panel of independent judges with required industry expertise, looking at the submission’s innovation, scope and impact. From the pool of submissions, judges select finalists for each category. Each judge on the committee then ranks those finalists, with the weighted aggregate ranking determining the winner. Winners are announced in September. No financial compensation is paid for consideration in the award process. Judges’ decisions are made independent of any firm’s business relationships with Informa Plc. Judges recuse themselves from the process from selecting finalists or winners for any category where the conflict exists.

Definitions:

Option: Options are financial derivatives that give buyers the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at an agreed-upon price and date.

Distribution Rate: The annual rate an investor would receive if the most recent fund distribution remained the same going forward. The distribution rate represents a single distribution from the Fund and is not a representation of the Fund's total return. The distribution rate is calculated by multiplying the most recent distribution by 12 in order to annualize it, and then dividing by the Fund's most recent ex-date NAV.

30-day SEC Yield: A calculation based on a formula mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that calculates a fund's hypothetical annualized income, as a percentage of its assets. A security's income, for the purposes of this calculation, is based on the current market yield to maturity (in the case of bonds) or projected dividend yield (for stocks) of the fund's holdings over a trailing 30-day period. This hypothetical income will differ (at times, significantly) from the fund's actual experience; as a result, income distributions from the fund may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield.

Tax Loss Harvesting: The timely selling of securities at a loss in order to offset the amount of capital gains tax due on the sale of other securities at a profit.
