Volatility Before the Vote Election headlines focus on who wins. Markets also have to weigh what comes next. Historically, midterm years have tended to bring rising volatility before the vote and calmer markets afterward. That’s a pattern, not a forecast. For income investors, there’s another side to that uncertainty. The connection runs through option prices and what happens as uncertainty builds or fades. Our latest article explores that relationship, the trade-offs behind option income, and how election season fits into the longer-term thinking behind Growth + Income Investing.

Same S&P 500 exposure. One less layer of expenses. TSPY now owns its underlying stocks directly instead of through another ETF—the same change we recently made to TDAQ. What does that mean for shareholders? TSPY’s total annual fund operating expenses: 0.71% → 0.68%. Our 0.68% management fee is unchanged. The additional 0.03% in acquired fund fees and expenses from holding VOO is gone. What stays the same? Same ticker. Same S&P 500 market exposure. Same daily covered-call strategy. Same distribution schedule. Nothing shareholders need to do. The change applies automatically. The work on a fund doesn’t stop at launch.

𝐓𝐃𝐀𝐗, the TappAlpha TDAQ Lift ETF, 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐬 𝐓𝐃𝐀𝐐, the TappAlpha Innovation 100 Growth & Daily Income ETF. Here’s why it matters. Previously, TDAX relied entirely on a swap for its exposure to TDAQ. Now, it owns TDAQ shares directly and uses a swap for a smaller portion of its exposure. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐬. Swap financing costs create “drag,” which reduces the return shareholders receive, even though they aren’t included in the total expense ratio. By relying less on swap financing, TDAX has the potential to meaningfully reduce that drag and leave more of the underlying investment return for shareholders. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞: Same ticker. Same target of 130% of TDAQ’s performance. Same distribution schedule. What shareholders pay doesn't go up. TDAX's management fee drops from 0.98% to 0.36% through a contractual fee waiver, offsetting the TDAQ expenses it now carries. The new total expense ratio is 0.97%, compared with 0.98% before. Nothing shareholders need to do. The change applies automatically. 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐧𝐞. 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫.

Disclosures: For standardized performance, visit tappalphafunds.com/etfs/tdax. See more information on TDAQ: tappalphafunds.com/etfs/tdaq Past performance does not guarantee future results. Distributions are not guaranteed and may include return of capital. Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund before investing. This and other important information about the Fund are contained in the prospectus, which can be obtained at tappalphafunds.com or by calling (844) 403-2888. The prospectus should be read carefully before investing. Investing in securities involves risk, including the potential loss of principal. TDAX seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 130% of TDAQ’s daily performance. Leverage magnifies gains and losses. Due to daily compounding, returns over periods longer than one trading day may differ significantly from 130% of TDAQ’s returns. The Fund is not suitable for all investors and requires active monitoring. TDAX holds TDAQ shares and uses swap agreements with dealers, which involve financing costs and counterparty risk. Lower financing costs do not guarantee better returns. TDAX bears its proportionate share of TDAQ’s expenses. A contractual management fee waiver offsets those expenses as described in the prospectus. The waiver remains in effect for at least one year; without it, total annual fund operating expenses would be higher. Through its exposure to TDAQ, TDAX is subject to risks associated with TDAQ’s investments and daily covered-call strategy, including NDX options. Covered calls may limit participation in market gains, and option income may not offset investment losses. Zero-days-to-expiration (0DTE) options are particularly sensitive to sudden price movements and market volatility. Nasdaq-100® and NDX® are trademarks of Nasdaq, Inc.
