Fund Documents
WEEL ETF Fund Summary
The WEEL ETF has engineered a strategic approach designed to deliver equity-like returns over the long term through income generation, while dampening volatility as compared with a traditional long only portfolio. Its aim is to achieve these returns independently of market index appreciation, combining the risk management benefits of buffer-style products with the income potential of a premium selling strategy.
The fund adopts a disciplined, mechanical methodology that assists in buying low and selling high, while continuously collecting income with excellent capital efficiency. Abstaining from making market predictions, market timing, or favoring specific sectors are inherent features. It remains neutral in its approach to market trends, bullish or bearish sentiments, and value versus growth styles. It removes emotion, and provides a sustainable, risk-managed solution to create excess returns in range-bound markets.
Through our crafted process, we aim to simulate broad market exposure on a notional basis by means of cash (or treasury) secured puts. WEEL predominantly allocates across sector ETFs but can also utilize individual securities if these products do not provide the fund’s target achievement. All short put positions maintain a tight time frame, enabling frequent resets of the buffer to control downside risk. Any position that is ‘put’ to the portfolio becomes a long covered call contender, until that position itself is called away.
WEEL offers investors a sophisticated approach to achieving broad market exposure while effectively managing risk and providing income.

The Wheel In Motion
This patent-pending process is performed independently on a diversified basket of primarily sector ETFs. Each secured put is written out-of-the money, providing a buffer against potential losses while creating income. If assigned, covered calls are written on the position to create more income until it rebounds back. In bear markets, the majority (possibly all) of the positions will likely be assigned and the fund resembles a diversified equity allocation across sectors and market capitalization. This is an income strategy, and the vast majority (if not all) of the return will come from income generation rather than share price growth.
Peerless Wealth and Peerless ETFs
Peerless Wealth, LLC is an SEC-registered investment advisory firm and investment manager specializing in wealth and investment management for affluent clients. Founder Erik Thompson posits that a considerable number of individual investors, alongside numerous financial advisors, may not allocate sufficient focus towards planning for (and capitalizing on) markets characterized by stagnation, or bounded within a specific range. Over the last few years, he began running the option wheel income generation technique on an account-by-account basis and also in a private hedge fund. Performance solidified the technique and gave Peerless Wealth the confidence to roll it out to the public via an ETF. Peerless ETFs, a division of Peerless Wealth, LLC, offers the first and only SEC-registered 40-Act fund that utilizes the Option Wheel.

**The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive 0.25% of its management fees, through at least July 30, 2027.
***Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (“AFFE”) are indirect fees and expenses the Fund incurs from investing in shares of other funds, including exchange-traded funds
Fund Data & Pricing
**30-Day Median Spread is a calculation of Fund’s median bid-ask spread, expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest hundredth, computed by: identifying the Fund’s national best bid and national best offer as of the end of each 10 second interval during each trading day of the last 30 calendar days; dividing the difference between each such bid and offer by the midpoint of the national best bid and national best offer; and identifying the median of those values.
The Distribution Rate is the annual rate an investor would receive if the most recently declared distribution remained the same going forward. The Distribution Rate is calculated by multiplying an ETF’s Distribution per Share by twelve (12) and dividing the resulting amount by the ETF’s most recent NAV. The Distribution Rate represents a single distribution from the ETF and does not represent its total return. Distributions are not guaranteed.
Performance
The performance data quoted above represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Performance current to the most recent month-end can be obtained by calling (844) 408-8111.
Short term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of the fund’s future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on historical returns. Returns beyond 1 year are annualized.
A fund’s NAV is the sum of all its assets less any liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding. The market price is the most recent price at which the fund was traded.
