There are risks involved with investing in ETFs including possible loss of money. Shares are not actively managed and are subject to risk similar to stocks and covered call options, as well as those risks related to short selling and margin maintenance.

Shares are not FDIC insured, may lose value and have no bank guarantee.

There are additional risks involved in writing (selling) covered call options on the stocks of the S&P 500 Index (Index). The Fund, by writing covered call options on this Index, will give up the opportunity to benefit from potential increases in the value of the index stocks above the exercise prices of the options, but will continue to bear the risk of declines in the value of the Index. The premiums received from the options may not be sufficient to offset any losses sustained from the volatility of the Index over time. In addition, exchanges may suspend trading of options in volatile markets. If trading is suspended, the Fund may be unable to write (sell) options at times that may be desirable or advantageous for the Fund to do so. Trading suspensions may limit the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objectives. The Fund may be required to sell investments from its portfolio to make cash settlement on (or transfer ownership of an Index stock to physically settle) any options that are exercised. Such sales (or transfers) may occur at inopportune times, and the Fund may incur transaction costs that increase its expenses.
