TICKER SYMBOL: STATX

FUND SUMMARY

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks current income consistent with preservation of capital and daily liquidity.

Fees and Expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.



Shareholder Fees (Fees paid directly from your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)	None
Management Fees	0.30%
Other Expenses ¹	0.06%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses	0.36%

¹ Other expenses are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.

Example. The example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. This example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time period indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:


1 Year		3 Years
$37		$116

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s investment return. As the fund has not reached the end of its first fiscal year, there is no portfolio turnover to report.

Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal market conditions, the Fund primarily invests its net assets (exclusive of proceeds (collateral) received with respect to securities lending, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreement transactions) in U.S. Treasury securities, which include bills, notes, and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury, that have remaining maturities of three months. The balance of the Fund’s portfolio will consist of a mixture of cash and U.S. Treasury securities, which include bills, notes, and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury, with remaining maturities of less than three months and remaining maturities of longer than three months. In addition, under normal market conditions, the Fund will hold at least one U.S. Treasury security with a maturity of at least 14 months, as measured at the time of purchase, and the Fund will maintain a portfolio with a dollar weighted average maturity of at least 90 days. The Portfolio manager may adjust the dollar weighted average maturity of the Fund’s portfolio within the stated limit based on current and anticipated changes in interest rates. The foregoing specific maturity lengths are described as measured at the time of purchase. U.S. Treasury securities are backed by the “full faith and credit” of the U.S.

Government, which means that the U.S. Government guarantees that the interest and principal will be paid when due. All of the Fund’s assets will be invested in U.S. dollar-denominated securities.

In order to enhance income, the Fund intends to enter into securities lending, repurchase agreement and/or reverse repurchase agreement transactions that provide the Fund with income at either fixed or floating (variable) interest rates and fees. The Fund may lend its portfolio of securities to broker/dealers, institutional investors, institutional investment manager(s), banks, mutual funds, and insurance and/or reinsurance companies located in one of the member countries of The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”). Securities lending allows the Fund to retain ownership of the securities loaned and, at the same time, earn additional income from fees paid by borrowers. Loans will be made only to parties who have been reviewed and deemed satisfactory by New York Alaska ETF Management LLC, the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”), pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Board of Trustees”) of State Funds (the “Trust”), and which provide collateral, which is either (i) 102% cash or (ii) 102%-115% U.S. government securities. The collateral is marked to market daily and, if the value of the existing collateral decreases or the value of the securities lent increases, the borrower will be required to post additional collateral.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements and/or reverse repurchase agreements with broker/dealers, institutional investors, institutional investment manager(s), banks, mutual funds, and insurance and/or reinsurance companies located in one of the member countries of the OECD. Repurchase transactions involve the purchase of securities with an agreement to resell the securities at an agreed-upon price, date and interest payment. Reverse repurchase transactions involve the sale of securities with an agreement to repurchase the securities at an agreed-upon price, date and interest payment and have the characteristics of borrowing. the Fund will invest over 5% of its assets in reverse repurchase agreements in which proceeds (collateral) received with respect to reverse repurchase agreements will include cash, U.S. Treasury securities or debt instruments secured by U.S. Treasury securities. The Fund will earmark or establish a segregated account equal in value to its obligations to hold the aforementioned proceeds (collateral).

A bond’s “maturity” refers to the length of time until the bond’s principal must be paid back. “Dollar weighted average maturity” (“WAM”) is the weighted average amount of time it take for the Fund’s bond portfolio to mature. This means that the higher the Fund’s portfolio’s WAM, the longer it takes for all of the bonds in the portfolio to mature. WAM is calculated by computing the percentage value of each bond instrument in the portfolio. The number of days or months until the bond’s maturity is multiplied by each percentage, and the sum of the subtotals equals the WAM of the bonds in the portfolio.

WAM is not the same thing as “duration.” Duration is an approximate measure of a bond’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. If a bond has a duration of six years, for example, its price will rise about 6% if interest rates drop by a percentage point, and its price will fall by about 6% if interest rates rise by a percentage point. For investment purposes, the Fund uses the Macaulay method of calculating duration, named after its creator, Frederick Macaulay. Macaulay duration is the weighted average term to maturity of the cash flows from a bond. The weight of each cash flow is determined by dividing the present value of the cash flow by the price.

The Adviser may, but is not required to, use a securities lending agent to facilitate its securities lending transactions or may itself act as agent, for which the Adviser will receive no separate compensation. The Fund may split fees earned from securities lending with any unaffiliated lending agent, but in no event will the Fund pay more than 15% of the interest or fees earned from securities lending to a securities lending agent who administers the lending program in accordance with guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees.

The Fund seeks to maximize income from securities lending and reverse repurchase agreement transactions through entering into such transactions with counterparties who may reuse the securities obtained through securities lending and/or reverse repurchase agreements with the Fund to collateralize other transactions with different counterparties. Such counterparties may be willing to enter into securities lending and/or reverse repurchase agreement transactions with the Fund on more favorable terms than would otherwise be available.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest not less than 80% of its net assets (exclusive of collateral with respect to securities lending, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement transactions), plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in U.S. Treasury securities, which include bills, notes, and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury, that have remaining maturities of three months.

The Fund is not a money market fund and thus does not seek to maintain a stable NAV of $1.00 per share. Additionally, the Fund’s investment strategy will cause the Fund’s portfolio to exceed the dollar weighted average maturity requirements imposed on money market mutual funds. Furthermore, the Fund’s use of reverse repurchase transactions will have a leveraging effect on the Fund’s NAV, which is generally inconsistent with the stable net asset value associated with money market mutual funds. In addition, although the Fund may invest in securities that may be held by money market funds, it is not subject to the regulations applicable to money market funds.

Principal Risks

The Fund is subject to risks, any of which could cause an investor to lose money. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s principal risks include:

Market Risk: Bond markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of your investment in the Fund will fluctuate, which means that you could lose money.

Management Risk: Any actively managed fund is subject to the risk that its investment adviser will select investments or allocate assets in such a way that could cause the fund to underperform or otherwise not meet its objective. In managing the Fund’s portfolio holdings, the Adviser applies investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these actions will produce the desired results.

U.S. Treasury Securities Risk: Direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury have historically involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value of such securities may vary during the period shareholders own shares of the Fund.

Interest Rate Risk: The value of the Fund’s shares can be expected to increase during periods of falling interest rates and decrease during periods of rising interest rates. The yields of U.S. Treasury securities may be lower than the yields available from other types of fixed-income investments.

Credit Risk: Securities issued by the U.S. Treasury historically have presented minimal credit risk. However, recent events have led to a downgrade in the long-term U.S. credit rating by at least one major rating agency and have introduced greater uncertainty about the repayment by the United States of its obligations. A further credit rating downgrade or a U.S. credit default could decrease the value and increase the volatility of the Fund’s investments.

Reverse Repurchase Agreement Risk: In the event of the insolvency of the counterparty to a reverse repurchase agreement, recovery of the securities sold by the Fund may be delayed. Because reverse repurchase agreements may be considered to be the practical equivalent of borrowing funds, they constitute a form of leverage (borrowing). If the Fund reinvests the proceeds of a reverse repurchase agreement at a rate lower than the cost of the agreement, entering into the agreement will lower the Fund’s yield. The Fund seeks to protect against reverse repurchase agreement risk through, among other things, collateralization requirements and contractual provisions which provide for the right to liquidate collateral promptly in the event of a default.

Securities Lending Risk: Securities lending involves the risk that the Fund loses money because the borrower fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. The Fund could also lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for loaned securities or of investments made with cash collateral. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the Fund. As securities on loan may not be voted by the Fund, there is a risk that the Fund may not be able to recall the securities in sufficient time to vote on material proxy matters. The Fund seeks to protect against securities lending risk through, among other things, collateralization requirements and contractual provisions which provide for the right to liquidate collateral promptly in the event of a default.

Repurchase Agreement Risk: If the counterparty to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase the underlying security at a time when the value of the security has declined, the Fund may incur a loss upon disposition of the security. If the counterparty to the agreement becomes insolvent and subject to liquidation or reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code or other laws, a court may determine that the underlying security is collateral not within the control of the Fund and, therefore, the Fund may incur delays in disposing of the security and/or may not be able to substantiate its interest in the underlying security and may be deemed an unsecured creditor of the other party to the agreement.

Leverage Risk: Leverage risk is the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, including the Fund’s use of reverse repurchase agreements, will give rise to leverage, causing the Fund’s shares to be more volatile than if they had not been leveraged.

Non-Diversified Risk: The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified” investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Therefore, the Fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers or may invest a larger proportion of its assets in a single issuer. As a result, the gains and losses on a single investment may have a greater impact on the Fund’s NAV and may make the Fund more volatile than more diversified funds.

New Investment Adviser Risk. The Adviser is a newly formed investment adviser with no operating history. There is no guarantee that the Adviser will be able to produce satisfactory returns for the Fund or preserve the Fund’s assets.

New Fund Risk: The Fund is newly organized and has a limited operating history. The Fund may not be successful in implementing its investment strategy, may not employ a successful investment strategy or may fail to attract sufficient assets under management to realize economies of scale.

Withholding Tax Risk: Whether an investment in the Fund is appropriate for a non-U.S. shareholder (as defined in “Tax Information”) will depend upon the non-U.S. shareholder’s particular circumstances. Section 871(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) provides certain “look-through” treatment to non-U.S. shareholders, permitting qualified interest-related dividends and qualified short-term capital gains not to be subject to U.S. withholding tax. It should also be noted that withholding would still apply (generally at a 30% rate or lower applicable treaty rate) to the extent that distributions are from the Fund’s interest income from non-U.S. sources. If modifications to the Fund’s strategy are made such that the Fund makes distributions from the Fund’s dividend income or foreign currency gains, such withholding would also apply with respect to these sources of income. Depending on the circumstances, the Fund may designate all, some, or none of the Fund’s potentially eligible dividends as qualified interest-related dividends or as qualified short-term capital gains. We strongly urge you to review carefully the discussion under “Tax Information” and to seek advice based on your particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

Performance Information

Because the Fund has less than a full calendar year of investment operations, no performance information is presented for the Fund at this time. In the future, performance information will be presented in this section of the Prospectus. Also, shareholder reports containing financial and performance information will be mailed to shareholders semi-annually. Updated performance information will be available at no cost at www.tbil.co or by calling the Fund at 1-800--523-8382.

Fund Management

Investment Adviser. New York Alaska ETF Management LLC.

Portfolio Manager. Nicholas Abbate, portfolio manager for the Adviser, is the Fund’s Portfolio Manager and is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. He has managed the Fund since inception.

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares

The Fund imposes a minimum $100 initial investment amount and a minimum $100 subsequent investment amount. You may purchase and redeem shares of the Fund on any day that the New York Stock Exchange is open. Redemption requests may be made in writing, by telephone, or through a financial intermediary and will be paid by ACH, check or wire transfer.

Tax Information

The Fund’s taxable distributions are generally taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or a combination of the two, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account, in which case distributions may be taxable upon withdrawal. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the rules governing your tax-deferred arrangement. Because the Fund is not classified as a money market mutual fund by the I.R.S., its shareholders are not eligible for certain simplified methods for calculating gains and losses afforded to money market mutual fund shareholders.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s web site for more information.

FUND DETAILS

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks current income consistent with preservation of capital and daily liquidity. The Fund’s investment objective is a non-fundamental policy and therefore may be changed by the Trust’s Board of Trustees without shareholder approval. The Fund will notify its shareholders before changing its investment objective.

More about the Fund’s Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal market conditions, the Fund primarily invests its net assets (exclusive of proceeds (collateral) received with respect to securities lending, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreement transactions) in U.S. Treasury securities, which include bills, notes, and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury, that have remaining maturities of three months. The balance of the Fund’s portfolio will consist of a mixture of cash and U.S. Treasury securities, which include bills, notes, and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury, with remaining maturities of less than three months and remaining maturities of longer than three months. In addition, under normal market conditions, the Fund will hold at least one U.S. Treasury security with a maturity of at least 14 months, as measured at the time of purchase, and the Fund will maintain a portfolio with a dollar weighted average maturity of at least 90 days. The portfolio manager may adjust the dollar weighted average maturity of the Fund’s portfolio within the stated limit based on current and anticipated changes in interest rates. The foregoing specific maturity lengths are described as measured at the time of purchase. U.S. Treasury securities are backed by the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. Government, which means that the U.S. Government guarantees that the interest and principal will be paid when due. All of the Fund’s assets will be invested in U.S. dollar-denominated securities.

The Adviser buys securities with the highest expected total return and/or highest expected liquidity, subject to the Fund’s ultra short duration mandate. The Adviser sells securities to adjust average portfolio duration as needed and to purchase securities with a higher expected return and/or higher expected liquidity.

A bond’s “maturity” refers to the length of time until the bond’s principal must be paid back. “Dollar weighted average maturity” (“WAM”) is the weighted average amount of time it takes for the Fund’s bond portfolio to mature. This means that the higher the Fund’s portfolio’s WAM, the longer it takes for all of the bonds in the portfolio to mature. WAM is calculated by computing the percentage value of each bond instrument in the portfolio. The number of days or months until the bond’s maturity is multiplied by each percentage, and the sum of the subtotals equals the WAM of the bonds in the portfolio.

Securities Lending

The Fund may lend its portfolio of securities to broker/dealers, institutional investors, institutional investment manager(s), banks, mutual funds, and insurance and/or reinsurance companies located in one of the member countries of The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. Securities lending allows the Fund to retain ownership of the securities loaned and, at the same time, to earn additional income from fees paid by borrowers. Loans of securities will be made only to parties who have been reviewed and deemed satisfactory by New York Alaska ETF Management LLC, the Fund’s investment adviser, pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees of State Funds, and which provide collateral, which is either (i) 102% cash or (ii) 102%-115% U.S. government securities. The collateral is marked to market daily and, if the value of the existing collateral decreases or the value of the securities lent increases, the borrower will be required to post additional collateral.

When the Fund lends its portfolio securities, the voting rights and the right to dividends and other distributions on the loaned securities transfer to the borrower until the loan is terminated and the securities are returned to the Fund. While the loan is open, however, the borrower will remit back to the Fund payments equal to such distributions. When a loan is terminated, the Fund will return the collateral to the borrower and the borrower must return the borrowed securities to the Fund.

Repurchase Agreements

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with broker/dealers, institutional investors, institutional investment manager(s), banks, mutual funds, and insurance and/or reinsurance companies located in one of the member countries of the OECD (each, a “counterparty”). In a repurchase agreement, the Fund enters into a contract with a counterparty under which (i) the Fund purchases securities for cash from the counterparty, and (ii) the counterparty agrees to repurchase the securities at a specified future date, or on demand, for a price that is sufficient to return to the Fund its original purchase price, plus an additional amount representing the return on the Fund’s investment.

Repurchase agreements provide the Fund with a means to invest cash at competitive rates for short periods and/or earn income at either fixed or floating (variable) interest rates and fees. While a repurchase agreement has legal characteristics of both a sale and a secured transaction, economically it functions as a loan from the Fund to the counterparty, in which the securities purchased by the Fund serve as collateral for the loan and are placed in the possession or under the control of the Fund’s custodian during the term of the agreement. Proceeds (collateral) received with respect to repurchase agreements will include cash, U.S. Treasury securities or debt instruments secured by U.S. Treasury securities. The Fund will earmark or establish a segregated account equal in value to its obligations to hold the aforementioned proceeds (collateral).

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

The Fund may also enter into reverse repurchase agreements with counterparties. In a typical reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund enters into a contract with a counterparty under which (i) the Fund sells securities for cash or cash equivalents to the counterparty, and (ii) the Fund agrees to repurchase the securities at an agreed-upon price, date and interest payment. Reverse repurchase agreements provide the Fund with a source of liquidity that can be invested elsewhere for no more than six days and/or earn income at either fixed or floating (variable) interest rates and fees. While a reverse repurchase agreement has legal characteristics of both a sale and a secured transaction, economically it functions as a loan from the counterparty to the Fund, in which the securities purchased by the counterparty serve as collateral for the loan.

Securities received by the Fund through reverse repurchase agreements include cash, U.S. Treasury securities or debt instruments secured by U.S. Treasury securities. the Fund will invest over 5% of its assets in reverse repurchase agreements in which proceeds (collateral) received with respect to reverse repurchase agreements will include cash, U.S. Treasury securities or debt instruments secured by U.S. Treasury securities. The Fund will earmark or establish a segregated account equal in value to its obligations to hold the aforementioned proceeds (collateral).

Counterparty Use of Securities Obtained from the Fund

The Fund seeks to maximize income from securities lending, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreement transactions through entering into such transactions with counterparties who may reuse the securities obtained through securities lending and/or reverse repurchase agreements with the Fund to collateralize other transactions with different counterparties. Such counterparties may be willing to enter into securities lending and/or reverse repurchase agreement transactions with the Fund on more favorable terms than would otherwise be available.

Other Information

The Fund is not a money market fund and thus does not seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. Additionally, the Fund’s investment strategy will cause the Fund’s portfolio to exceed the dollar weighted average maturity requirements imposed on money market mutual funds. Furthermore, the Fund’s use of reverse repurchase transactions will have a leveraging effect on the Fund’s NAV, which is generally inconsistent with the stable net asset value associated with money market mutual funds. In addition, although the Fund may invest in securities that may be held by money market funds, it is not subject to the regulations applicable to money market funds.

Temporary Investments

To respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions, the Fund may invest 100% of its total assets, without limitation, in cash or cash equivalents (including cash it has borrowed). While the Fund is in a defensive position, the opportunity to achieve its objective may be hindered and additional borrowing cost may be incurred. Such defensive positions may be inconsistent with the Fund’s principal investment strategies.

More about the Fund’s Principal Risks

All investments carry a certain amount of risk, and the Fund cannot guarantee that it will achieve its investment objective. The value of the Fund’s investments will fluctuate with market conditions, and the value of your investment in the Fund also will vary. The principal risks associated with investing in the Fund are described below and in the Fund Summary at the beginning of this Prospectus. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Market Risk

Bond markets rise and fall daily. As with any investment whose performance is tied to these markets, the value of your investment in the Fund will fluctuate, which means that you could lose money.

Management Risk

Any actively managed fund is subject to the risk that its investment adviser will select investments or allocate assets in such a way that could cause the fund to underperform or otherwise not meet its objective. In managing the Fund’s portfolio securities, the Adviser applies investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that they will produce the desired results.

U.S. Treasury Securities Risk

A security backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the United States is guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity, but the market prices for such securities are not guaranteed and will fluctuate. Because U.S. Treasury securities trade actively outside the United States, their prices may rise and fall as changes in global economic conditions affect the demand for these securities. In addition, such guarantees do not extend to shares of the Fund itself.

Interest Rate Risk

The Fund may invest in U.S. Treasury securities, which are considered among the safest fixed-income investments. Because of this added safety, the yields available from U.S. Treasury securities are generally lower than the yields available from corporate debt securities. As with other debt securities, the value of U.S. Treasury securities changes as interest rates fluctuate. Changes in the value of U.S. Treasury securities will not affect interest income from those securities but will be reflected in the Fund’s NAV. Thus, a decrease in interest rates may generally result in an increase in the value of the shares. Conversely, during periods of rising interest rates, the value of the shares will generally decline. The magnitude of these fluctuations will generally be greater at times when the dollar weighted average maturity of the U.S. Treasury securities held by the Fund is longer.

Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a security will not be able to make timely principal and interest payments. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer. The degree of credit risk depends on both the financial condition of the issuer and the terms of the obligation. Securities issued by the U.S. Treasury historically have presented minimal credit risk. However, recent events have led to a downgrade in the long-term U.S. credit rating by at least one major rating agency and have introduced greater uncertainty about the ability of the U.S. to repay its obligations. A further credit rating downgrade or a U.S. credit default could decrease the value and increase the volatility of the Fund’s investments.

Reverse Repurchase Agreement Risk

In the event of the insolvency of the counterparty to a reverse repurchase agreement, recovery of the securities sold by the Fund may be delayed. In a reverse repurchase agreement, the counterparty’s insolvency may result in a loss equal to the amount by which the value of the securities sold by the Fund exceeds the repurchase price payable by the Fund; if the value of the purchased securities increases during such a delay, that loss may also be increased. When the Fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, any fluctuations in the market value of either the securities transferred to another party or the securities in which the proceeds may be invested would affect the market value of the Fund’s assets. As a result, such transactions may increase fluctuations in the NAV of the Fund’s shares. Because reverse repurchase agreements may be considered to be the practical equivalent of borrowing funds, they constitute a form of leverage. If the Fund reinvests the proceeds of a reverse repurchase agreement at a rate lower than the cost of the agreement, entering into the agreement will lower the Fund’s yield. The Fund seeks to protect against reverse repurchase agreement risk through, among other things, collateralization requirements and contractual provisions which provide for the right to liquidate collateral promptly in the event of a default.

Securities Lending Risk

The Fund may lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers, and other financial institutions provided a number of conditions are satisfied, including that the loan is fully collateralized. When the Fund lends portfolio securities, its investment performance will continue to reflect changes in the value of the securities loaned, and the Fund will also receive a fee or interest on the collateral. Securities lending involves the risk of loss of rights in the collateral or delay in recovery of the collateral if the borrower fails to return the security loaned or becomes insolvent. The Fund will also bear the risk of any decline in value of securities acquired with cash collateral. The Fund may pay lending fees to a party arranging the loan. The Fund seeks to protect against securities lending risk through, among other things, collateralization requirements and contractual provisions which provide for the right to liquidate collateral promptly in the event of a default.

Repurchase Agreement Risk

If the counterparty to a repurchase agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase the underlying security at a time when the value of the security has declined, the Fund may incur a loss upon disposition of the security. If the counterparty to the agreement becomes insolvent and subject to liquidation or reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code or other laws, a court may determine that the underlying security is collateral not within the control of the Fund and, therefore, the Fund may incur delays in disposing of the security and/or may not be able to substantiate its interest in the underlying security and may be deemed an unsecured creditor of the other party to the agreement.

Leverage Risk

Leverage risk is the risk that certain transactions of the Fund, including the Fund’s use of reverse repurchase agreements, will give rise to leverage, causing the Fund’s Shares to be more volatile than if they had not been leveraged.

Non-Diversified Risk

The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified” investment company under the 1940 Act. As a result, the Fund is subject to the risk that it will be more volatile than a diversified fund because the Fund may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers or may invest a larger proportion of its assets in a single issuer. As a result, the gains and losses on a single investment may have a greater impact on the Fund’s NAV and may make the Fund more volatile than more diversified funds.

New Investment Adviser Risk

The Adviser is a newly formed investment adviser with no operating history. The Adviser and its employees have limited experience managing investment assets other than their own assets. There is no guarantee that the Adviser will be able to produce satisfactory returns for the Fund or preserve the Fund’s assets.

New Fund Risk

The Fund is a newly organized and has a limited operating history. The Fund may not be successful in implementing its investment strategy, may not employ a successful investment strategy or may fail to attract sufficient assets under management to realize economies of scale.

Withholding Tax Risk

Distributions by the Fund will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Dividends paid to a non-U.S. shareholder (as defined in “Tax Information”) generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a 30% rate or a reduced rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

Code section 871(k) provides certain “look-through” treatment to non-U.S. shareholders, permitting qualified interest-related dividends and qualified short-term capital gains not to be subject to U.S. withholding tax. More specifically, no withholding is required with respect to certain dividends if (i) the dividends are properly reported as “interest-related dividends” or “short-term capital gain dividends,” (ii) the dividends are derived from sources specified in the Code for such dividends, and (iii) certain other requirements are satisfied. Depending on the circumstances, the Fund may designate all, some, or none of the Fund’s potentially eligible dividends as qualified interest-related dividends or as qualified short-term capital gains. We strongly urge you to review carefully the discussion under “Tax Information” and to seek advice based on your particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

BUYING AND SELLING SHARES

How Shares are Priced

Shares of the Fund are sold at net asset value (“NAV”).

The NAV of the Fund’s shares is determined by dividing the total market value of the Fund’s portfolio investments and other assets, less any liabilities, by the total number of shares outstanding.

Fund shares are valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) (the “NYSE Close”) on each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for business. The NYSE is closed on weekends and New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. The price at which a purchase or redemption of Fund shares is effected is based on the next calculation of the Fund’s NAV after the order is placed. Information that becomes known to the Fund or its agents after the NAV has been calculated on a particular day will not generally be used to retroactively

adjust the price of a security or the NAV determined earlier that day. In accordance with Rule 22c-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund reserves the right to change the time its NAV is calculated on (i) days on which changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities will not materially affect the current net asset value of the Fund’s shares; and (ii) days during which no Fund share is tendered for redemption and no order to purchase a Fund share is received by the Fund. In addition, the Board may change the time at which the Fund’s NAV is calculated if the Board deems such change necessary.

The Fund’s portfolio holdings are valued based on market prices when market quotes are readily available. Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by the Adviser.

Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/ask information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the NYSE Close, that materially affect the values of the Fund’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade do not open for trading for the entire day and no other market prices are available. The Board has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility for monitoring significant events that may materially affect the values of the Fund’s securities or assets and for determining whether the value of the applicable securities or assets should be re-evaluated in light of such significant events.

When the Fund uses fair value pricing to determine its NAV, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotes from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction believe reflects fair value. Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. While the Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Fund’s NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Trust cannot ensure that fair values determined by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction would accurately reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by the Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold.

Redemptions by Telephone: The telephone redemption privilege is automatically available to all new accounts except retirement accounts. If you do not want the telephone redemption privilege, you must indicate this in the appropriate area on your account application or you must write to the Fund and instruct it to remove this privilege from your account. The proceeds, which are equal to number of shares times NAV less any applicable deferred sales charges or redemption fees, will be sent by mail to the address designated on your account or sent electronically, via ACH or wire, directly to your existing account in a bank or brokerage firm in the United States as designated on our application. To redeem by telephone, call (800) 523-8382. The redemption proceeds normally will be sent by mail or electronically within three business days after receipt of your telephone instructions. IRA accounts are not redeemable by telephone.

The Fund reserves the right to suspend the telephone redemption privileges with respect to your account if the name(s) or the address on the account has been changed within the previous 30 days. Neither the Fund, the transfer agent, nor their respective affiliates will be liable for complying with telephone instructions they reasonably believe to be genuine or for any loss, damage, cost or expenses in acting on such telephone instructions and you will be required to bear the risk of any such loss. The Fund or the transfer agent, or both, will employ reasonable procedures to determine that telephone instructions are genuine. If the Fund and/or the transfer agent do not employ these procedures, they may be liable to you for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. These procedures may include, among others, requiring forms of personal identification prior to acting upon telephone instructions, providing written confirmation of the transactions and/or tape recording telephone instructions.

Redemptions through Broker: If shares of the Fund are held by a broker-dealer, financial institution or other servicing agent, you must contact that servicing agent to redeem shares of the Fund. The servicing agent may charge a fee for this service.

Redemptions by Wire: You may request that your redemption proceeds be wired directly to your bank account. Your bank may also impose a fee for the incoming wire.

Automatic Withdrawal Plan: If your individual account, IRA or other qualified plan account has a current account value of at least $1,000,000, you may participate in the Fund’s Automatic Withdrawal Plan, an investment plan that automatically moves money to your bank account from the Fund through the use of electronic funds transfers. You may elect to make subsequent withdrawals by transfers of a minimum of $100 on specified days of each month into

your established bank account. Please contact the Fund at (800) 523-8382 for more information about the Fund’s Automatic Withdrawal Plan.

Redemptions in Kind: The Fund reserves the right to honor requests for redemption or repurchase orders by making payment in whole or in part in readily marketable securities (“redemption in kind”) if the amount is greater than $250,000 or 1% of the Fund’s assets. The securities will be chosen by the Fund and valued at the Fund’s net asset value. A shareholder will be exposed to market risk until these securities are converted to cash and may incur transaction expenses in converting these securities to cash.

When Redemptions are Sent: Once the Fund receives your redemption request in “good order” as described below, it will issue a check based on the next determined NAV following your redemption request. The redemption proceeds normally will be sent by mail or by wire within three business days after receipt of a request in “good order.” If you purchase shares using a check and soon after request a redemption, your redemption proceeds will not be sent until the check used for your purchase has cleared your bank (usually within 7 days of the purchase date).

Good Order: Your redemption request will be processed if it is in “good order.” To be in good order, the following conditions must be satisfied:

· The request should be in writing, unless redeeming by telephone, indicating the number of shares or dollar amount to be redeemed;

· The request must identify your account number;

· The request should be signed by you and any other person listed on the account, exactly as the shares are registered; and

· If you request that the redemption proceeds be sent to a person, bank or an address other than that of record or paid to someone other than the record owner(s), or if the address was changed within the last 30 days, or if the proceeds of a requested redemption exceed $50,000, the signature(s) on the request must be medallion signature guaranteed by an eligible signature guarantor.

When You Need Medallion Signature Guarantees: If you wish to change the bank or brokerage account that you have designated on your account, you may do so at any time by writing to the Fund with your signature guaranteed. A medallion signature guarantee assures that a signature is genuine and protects you from unauthorized account transfers. You will need your signature guaranteed if:

· you request a redemption to be made payable to a person not on record with the Fund;

· you request that a redemption be mailed to an address other than that on record with the Fund;

· the proceeds of a requested redemption exceed $50,000;

· any redemption is transmitted by federal wire transfer to a bank other than the bank of record; or

· your address was changed within 30 days of your redemption request.

Signatures may be guaranteed by any eligible guarantor institution (including banks, brokers and dealers, credit unions, national securities exchanges, registered securities associations, clearing agencies and savings associations). Further documentation will be required to change the designated account if shares are held by a corporation, fiduciary or other organization. A notary public cannot guarantee signatures.

Retirement Plans: If you own an IRA or other retirement plan, you must indicate on your redemption request whether the Fund should withhold federal income tax. Unless you elect in your redemption request that you do not want to have federal tax withheld, the redemption will be subject to withholding.

Market Timing Policy

While the Fund does not encourage frequent trading, the Board has determined that it is not necessary to adopt policies and procedures designed to detect and deter frequent trading and market timing in the Fund’s shares. The Board has reached this determination based on its anticipation that certain investors will use the Fund as a short-term investment and its assessment that there is little opportunity, given the nature of the Fund’s investments, for Fund investors to take advantage of short-term market fluctuations.

FUND DISTRIBUTIONS

The Fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income to shareholders in the form of dividends. The Fund intends to declare and distribute income dividends every two weeks to shareholders of record. In addition, the Fund distributes any net capital gains it earns from the sale of portfolio securities to shareholders no less frequently than annually. Net short-term capital gains may be paid more frequently. Dividend payments are made through DTC participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners then of record with proceeds received from the Fund.

Dividend reinvestment service is provided by the Trust to beneficial owners that elect to receive it either under direct subscription with the Fund or by electing to receive it from their financial intermediaries. In certain cases. Financial intermediaries may obligate or make available the DTC book-entry Dividend Reinvestment Service for use by beneficial owners of Fund shares for reinvestment of their dividend distributions. Beneficial owners should contact their financial intermediary to determine the terms, availability and costs of the service and the details of participation therein. Financial intermediaries may require beneficial owners to adhere to specific procedures and timetables. If this service is available and used, dividend distributions of both income and net capital gains will be automatically reinvested in additional whole shares of the Fund.

When you reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions in shares of the Fund. Such shares are acquired at NAV on the applicable payable date of the dividend or capital gain distribution. When you or your financial intermediary instructs that dividends and distributions on Fund shares are to be reinvested in shares of the Fund; such instruction may be made by writing to the Fund’s Transfer Agent or by telephone by calling 1-800-523-8382. You may, on the account application form or prior to any declaration, instruct that dividends and/or capital gain distributions be paid in cash or be reinvested in the Fund at the next determined NAV. If you elect to receive dividends and/or capital gain distributions in cash and the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver the check, or if a check remains outstanding for six months or more, the Fund reserves the right to reinvest the distribution check in your account at the Fund’s current NAV and to reinvest all subsequent distributions.

When a dividend reinvestment instruction is made, dividends and other distributions will be made in the form of additional shares of the Fund. Investors have the right to change their elections with respect to the reinvestment of dividends and distributions by notifying the Fund’s transfer agent and your Financial Intermediary (when applicable) in writing, but any such change will be effective only as to dividends and other distributions for which the record date is seven or more business days after the transfer agent has received the written request.

TAX INFORMATION

As with any investment, you should consider how the Fund investment will be taxed. The tax information in this Prospectus is provided as general information. You should consult your own tax professional about the tax consequences of an investment in the Fund, including the possible application of foreign, state and local taxes. Unless your investment in the Fund is through a tax-exempt entity or tax-deferred retirement account, such as a 401(k) plan, you need to be aware of the possible tax consequences when: (i) the Fund makes distributions, or (ii) you redeem shares of the Fund.

Taxes on Distributions. As noted above, the Fund expects to distribute net investment income, if any, every two weeks, and any net realized long-term or short-term capital gains, if any, annually. The Fund may also pay a special distribution at any time to comply with U.S. federal tax requirements.

If the Fund fails to distribute on a timely basis with respect to each taxable year at least 90% of its “investment company taxable income” and its net tax-exempt interest income, the Fund would fail to qualify for the special tax treatment applicable to RICs. In such a case, the Fund would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates on its taxable income, including its net capital gain, even if such income were distributed to its shareholders, and all distributions out of earnings and profits would be taxed to shareholders as ordinary dividend income. Such distributions generally would be eligible for the dividends-received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders and may be eligible to be qualified dividend income for non-corporate shareholders. In addition, the Fund could be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay taxes and make distributions (any of which could be subject to interest charges) before re-qualifying for taxation as a RIC. Additionally, to the extent the Fund does not distribute to shareholders all of its investment company taxable income and net capital gain in a given year, it will be required to pay U.S. federal income tax on the retained income and gains, thereby reducing the Fund’s return.

The Fund will be subject to a 4% excise tax on certain undistributed income if it does not distribute to its shareholders in each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of 98% of its ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, 98.2% of its capital gain net income for the twelve months ended October 31 of such year and 100% of any undistributed amounts from the prior years. Although the Fund generally intends to declare and distribute dividends and distributions in the amounts and at the times necessary to avoid the application of this 4% excise tax, the Fund may elect to retain a portion of its income and gains, and in such a case, the Fund may be subject to excise tax.

In general, your distributions are subject to U.S. federal income tax when they are paid, whether you take them in cash or reinvest them in the Fund. Distributions of net investment income, including any net short-term gains, if any, are generally taxable as ordinary income. Whether distributions of capital gains represent long-term or short-term capital gains is determined by how long the Fund owned the investments that generated them, rather than how long you have owned your shares. Distributions of net short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses, if any, are generally taxable as ordinary income. Distributions of net long-term capital gains in excess of net short-term capital losses, if any, that are reported as capital gain dividends are generally taxable as long-term capital gains. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate shareholders are generally taxable at a maximum rate of 15% or 20%, depending on whether the shareholder’s income exceeds certain threshold amounts.

The Fund may receive dividends, the distribution of which the Fund may designate as qualified dividends. In the event that the Fund receives such a dividend and designates the distribution of such dividend as a qualified dividend, the dividend may be taxed at the maximum capital gains rates, provided holding period and other requirements are met at both the shareholder and the Fund level. The Fund does not expect that any of its distributions will be qualified dividends eligible for lower tax rates.

Distributions in excess of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits are treated as a tax-free return of your investment to the extent of your basis in the shares, and generally as capital gain thereafter. A return of capital, which for tax purposes is treated as a return of your investment, reduces your basis in shares, thus reducing any loss or increasing any gain on a subsequent taxable disposition of shares. A distribution will reduce the Fund’s NAV per share and may be taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gain even though, from an economic standpoint, the distribution may constitute a return of capital.

Dividends, interest and gains from non-U.S. investments of the Fund may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may, in some cases, reduce or eliminate such taxes.

Backup Withholding. The Fund may be required to withhold a percentage of your distributions and proceeds if you have not provided a taxpayer identification number or social security number or otherwise established a basis for exemption from backup withholding. The backup withholding rate for individuals is currently 28%. This is not an additional tax and may be refunded, or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided certain required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

Taxes on the Redemption of Fund Shares. Currently, any capital gain or loss realized upon a redemption of Fund shares is generally treated as long term capital gain or loss if the Fund shares have been held for more than one year and as a short term capital gain or loss if held for one year or less. However, any capital loss on a redemption of Fund shares held for six months or less is treated as long-term capital loss to the extent that capital gain dividends were paid with respect to such shares. The ability to deduct capital losses may be limited. To the extent that a shareholder’s shares are redeemed for cash, this is normally treated as a sale for tax purposes.

Medicare Tax. An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from the Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund Shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds certain threshold amounts.

Non-U.S. Shareholders. If you are not a citizen or resident alien of the United States or if you are a non-U.S. entity, you are a “Non-U.S. Shareholder.” Distributions by the Fund will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Shareholder generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a 30% rate or a reduced rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty. If a Non-U.S. Shareholder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Shareholder will be required to provide an applicable IRS Form W-8 certifying its entitlement to benefits under the treaty in order to obtain a reduced rate of withholding tax. However, if the distributions are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the Non-U.S. Shareholder (or, if an income tax treaty applies, attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States of the Non-U.S. Shareholder), then the distributions will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the rates applicable to U.S. persons, plus, in certain cases where the Non-U.S. Shareholder is a corporation, a branch profits tax at a 30% rate (or lower rate provided in an applicable treaty). If the Non-U.S. Shareholder is subject to such U.S. income tax on a distribution, then the Fund is not required to withhold U.S. federal tax if the Non-U.S. Shareholder complies with applicable certification and disclosure requirements. Special certification requirements apply to a Non-U.S. Shareholder that is a foreign partnership or a foreign trust, and such entities are urged to consult their own tax advisors.

Code section 871(k) provides certain “look-through” treatment to Non-U.S. Shareholders, permitting qualified interest-related dividends and qualified short-term capital gains not to be subject to U.S. withholding tax. More specifically, no withholding is required with respect to certain dividends if (i) the dividends are properly reported as “interest-related dividends” or “short-term capital gain dividends,” (ii) the dividends are derived from sources specified in the Code for such dividends, and (iii) certain other requirements are satisfied. Depending on the circumstances, the Fund may designate all, some, or none of the Fund’s potentially eligible dividends as qualified interest-related dividends or as qualified short-term capital gains.

If the amount of a distribution exceeds the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the non-U.S. shareholder’s tax basis in the Fund’s shares. To the extent that any distribution received by a Non-U.S. Shareholder exceeds the Non-U.S. Shareholder’s tax basis in the Fund’s shares and the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated as gain from the sale of the shares and will be taxed as described immediately below.

Generally, a corporation is a U.S. real property holding corporation if the fair market value of its U.S. real property interests, as defined in the Code and applicable Treasury regulations, equals or exceeds 50% of the aggregate fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. The Fund does not expect to be treated as a U.S. real property holding corporation.

As part of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), the Fund may be required to impose a 30% withholding tax on certain types of U.S. sourced income (e.g., dividends, interest, and other types of passive income) paid effective July 1, 2014, and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of property producing U.S. sourced income paid effective January 1, 2017 to (i) foreign financial institutions (“FFIs”), including non-U.S. investment funds, unless they agree to collect and disclose to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) information regarding their direct and indirect U.S. account holders and (ii) certain nonfinancial foreign entities (“NFFEs”), unless they certify certain information regarding their direct and indirect U.S. owners. To avoid possible withholding, FFIs will need to enter into agreements with the IRS which state that they will provide the IRS information, including the names, account numbers and balances, addresses and taxpayer identification numbers of U.S. account holders and comply with due diligence procedures with respect to the identification of U.S. accounts as well as agree to withhold tax on certain types of withholdable payments made to non-compliant foreign financial institutions or to applicable foreign account holders who fail to provide the required information to the IRS, or similar account information and required documentation to a local revenue authority, should an applicable intergovernmental agreement be implemented. NFFEs will need to provide certain information regarding each substantial U.S. owner or certifications of no substantial U.S. ownership, unless certain exceptions apply, or agree to provide certain information to the IRS.

While final FATCA rules have not been finalized, the Fund may be subject to the FATCA withholding obligation, and also will be required to perform due diligence reviews to classify foreign entity investors for FATCA purposes. Investors are required to agree to provide information necessary to allow the Fund to comply with the FATCA rules. If the Fund is required to withhold amounts from payments pursuant to FATCA, investors will receive distributions that are reduced by such withholding amounts.

Non-U.S. shareholders are advised to consult their tax advisors with respect to the particular tax consequences to them of an investment in the Funds, including the possible applicability of the U.S. estate tax.

The foregoing discussion summarizes some of the consequences under current U.S. federal income tax law of an investment in the Fund. It is not a substitute for personal tax advice. Consult your own tax advisor about the potential tax consequences of an investment in the Fund under all applicable tax laws.

SHAREHOLDER REPORTS AND OTHER INFORMATION

The Fund will send one copy of prospectuses and shareholder reports to households containing multiple shareholders with the same last name.

If you or others in your household invest in the Fund through a broker or other financial intermediary, you may receive separate prospectuses and shareholder reports, regardless of whether or not you have consented to householding on your investment application.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE FUND AND THE TRUST

State Funds is an open-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 21, 2016 and is governed by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated June 20, 2016 (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust Agreement permits the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Trustees,” “Board of Trustees” or “Board”) to authorize and issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series. This SAI relates to State Funds – Enhanced Ultra Short Duration Mutual Fund, a series of the Trust. The investment adviser to the Fund is New York Alaska ETF Management LLC, the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The Fund is a non-diversified fund.

The Fund does not issue share certificates. All shares are held in non-certificated form registered on the books of the Fund and the transfer agent for the account of the shareholder. Each share of a series represents an equal proportionate interest in the assets and liabilities belonging to that series and is entitled to such dividends and distributions belonging to the series as are declared by the Trustees. The shares do not have cumulative voting rights or any preemptive or conversion rights, and the Trustees have the authority from time to time to divide or combine the shares of any series into a greater or lesser number of shares of that series so long as the proportionate beneficial interest in the assets belonging to that series and the rights of the shareholders of any other series are in no way affected. In case of any liquidation of a series, the shareholders of the series being liquidated will be entitled to receive as a class a distribution out of the assets, net of the liabilities, belonging to that series. Expenses attributable to any series are borne by that series. Any general expenses of the Trust not readily identifiable as belonging to a particular series are allocated by or under the direction of the Trustees in such manner as the Trustees determine to be fair and equitable. No shareholder is liable to further calls or to assessment by the Trust without his or her express consent.

For information concerning the purchase and redemption of shares of the Fund, see “How to Purchase Shares” and “How to Redeem Shares” in the Prospectus. For a description of the methods used to determine the share price and value of the Fund’s assets, see “How Shares are Priced” in the Prospectus and “Determination of Net Asset Value” in this Statement of Additional Information.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, STRATEGIES, RISKS AND LIMITATIONS

All principal investment strategies and risks of the Fund are discussed in the Prospectus. This section contains a more detailed discussion of some of the investments the Fund may make and some of the additional risks of investing in the Fund. This section also discusses limitations on certain of the Fund’s investments and investment policies of the Fund.

Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is a non-fundamental policy and therefore may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval. The Fund will notify its shareholders before changing its investment objective.

The Fund seeks current income consistent with preservation of capital and daily liquidity.

Fund Investment Policies

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest substantially all of its net assets (exclusive of collateral with respect to securities lending, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement transactions) in U.S. Treasury securities, which include bills, notes, and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury, that have remaining maturities of greater than or equal to one month and less than three months.

Fund Investment Strategies

In addition to investing directly in the U.S. Treasury securities described above, the Fund may enter into securities lending, repurchase agreement and/or reverse repurchase agreement transactions. While up to 100% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in repurchase agreements and/or reverse repurchase agreements, in no event will the Fund lend more than 1/3 of its total assets.

Investments, Risks and Limitations

U.S. Treasury Securities

U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds are direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury. Treasury bills have initial maturities of one year or less, Treasury notes from two to 10 years, and Treasury bonds more than 10 years. While U.S. Treasury securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such securities are nonetheless subject to credit risk (i.e., the risk that the U.S. government may be, or be perceived to be, unable to make interest and principal payments). Although U.S. Treasury securities carry little principal risk if held to maturity, the prices of these securities (like all debt securities) change between issuance and maturity in response to fluctuating market interest rates.

On August 5, 2011, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) lowered its long-term sovereign credit rating for the United States to “AA+” from “AAA.” The market prices and yields of securities supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government may be adversely affected by S&P’s downgrade or any future downgrades of the U.S. government’s credit rating. While the long-term impact of the downgrade is uncertain, it could, for example, lead to increased volatility in the short-term.

Temporary Investments

Operational Risk

An investment in the Fund, like any fund, can involve operational risks arising from factors such as processing errors, human errors, inadequate or failed internal or external processes, failures in systems and technology, changes in personnel and errors caused by third-party service providers. The occurrence of any of these failures, errors or breaches could result in a loss of information, regulatory scrutiny, reputational damage or other events, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Fund. While the Fund seeks to minimize such events through controls and oversight, there may still be failures that could cause losses to the Fund.

Cyber Security Risk

As the use of technology has become more prevalent in the course of business, the Fund has become potentially more susceptible to operational risks through breaches in cyber security. A breach in cyber security refers to both intentional and unintentional events that may cause the Fund to lose proprietary information, suffer data corruption, or lose operational capacity. This in turn could cause the Fund to incur regulatory penalties, reputational damage, additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures, and/or financial loss. Cyber security breaches may involve unauthorized access to the Fund’s digital information systems (e.g., through “hacking” or malicious software coding), but may also result from outside attacks such as denial-of-service attacks (i.e., efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users). In addition, cyber security breaches of the Fund’s third party service providers (e.g., administrators, transfer agents, custodians and sub-advisers) or issuers that the Fund invests in can also subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches. Like with

operational risk in general, the Fund has established risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cyber security. However, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially since the Fund does not directly control the cyber security systems of issuers or third party service providers.

Investment Restrictions

The Trust has adopted the following investment restrictions as fundamental policies with respect to the Fund. These restrictions cannot be changed without the approval of the holders of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities. For purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund means the vote, at an annual or a special meeting of the security holders of the Trust, of the lesser of (1) 67% or more of the voting securities of the Fund present at such meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are present or represented by proxy, or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. Under these restrictions:

The Fund may make loans, only as permitted under the 1940 Act, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or interpretations of the SEC or its staff;

2. The Fund may borrow money or issue any senior security, only as permitted under the 1940 Act, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or interpretations of the SEC or its staff;

3. The Fund may not purchase or sell real estate;

4. The Fund may not act as an underwriter of securities of other issuers, except to the extent that in connection with the disposition of portfolio securities, it may be deemed to be an underwriter under the federal securities laws;

5. The Fund may not purchase or sell commodities; and

6. The Fund may not concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries, as that term is used in the 1940 Act, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or interpretations of the SEC or its staff.

In addition to the investment restrictions adopted as fundamental policies as set forth above, the Fund will not invest in securities which are “illiquid” securities, including repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days and options traded over-the-counter, if the result is that more than 15% of the Fund’s net assets would be invested in such securities. If a percentage limitation is adhered to at the time of investment or contract, a later increase or decrease in percentage resulting from any change in value or total or net assets will not result in a violation of such restriction, except that the percentage limitations with respect to the borrowing of money and illiquid securities, will be continuously complied with.

DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Trust has adopted policies and procedures that govern the disclosure of the Fund's portfolio holdings. These policies and procedures are designed to ensure that such disclosure is in the best interests of Fund shareholders. As a general matter, the Fund will not disclose (or authorize its adviser, transfer agent, fund accountant, administrator, custodian or distributor) portfolio holdings information to any person or entity except as follows:

· To persons providing services to the Fund who have a need to know such information in order to fulfill their obligations to the Fund, such as portfolio managers, administrators, custodians, pricing services, proxy voting services, accounting and auditing services, and research and trading services, and the Board;

· In connection with periodic reports that are available to shareholders and the public;

· Pursuant to a regulatory request or as otherwise required by law;

· To persons approved in writing by the CCO; or

· On the Fund’s website. A complete listing of the Fund’s holdings may be posted on the Fund’s website on a periodic basis. Holdings will be posted with an “as-of date.”

The Fund will disclose its portfolio holdings by mailing its annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders approximately two months after the end of the fiscal year and semi-annual period. The Fund may also disclose its portfolio holdings by mailing a quarterly report to its shareholders. In addition, the Fund will disclose its portfolio holdings reports on Forms N-CSR and Form N-Q two months after the end of each quarter/semi-annual period.

The Fund may choose to make available to rating agencies such as Lipper, Morningstar or Bloomberg earlier and more frequently on a confidential basis.

Under limited circumstances, as described below, the Fund's portfolio holdings may be disclosed to, or known by, certain third parties in advance of their filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form N-CSR or Form N-Q. In each case, a determination has been made that such advance disclosure is supported by a legitimate business purpose and that the recipient is subject to a duty to keep the information confidential.

· The Adviser. Personnel of the Adviser, including personnel responsible for managing the Fund’s portfolio, may have full daily access to Fund portfolio holdings because that information is necessary in order for the Adviser to provide its management, administrative, and investment services to the Fund. As required for purposes of analyzing the impact of existing and future market changes on the prices, availability, demand and liquidity of such securities, as well as for the assistance of portfolio manager in the trading of such securities, Adviser personnel may also release and discuss certain portfolio holdings with various broker-dealers.

· Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC. Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC is the transfer agent, fund accountant and administrator for the Fund; therefore, its personnel have full daily access to the Fund's portfolio holdings because that information is necessary in order for them to provide the agreed-upon services for the Trust.

· Custodians. Personnel of the Fund’s custodians (described below under “Custodians”) have full daily access to the Fund’s portfolio holdings because that information is necessary in order for them to provide the agreed-upon services for the Fund.

· Sanville & Company CPA. Sanville & Company CPA is the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm; therefore, its personnel have access to the Fund’s portfolio holdings in connection with auditing of the Fund's annual financial statements and providing assistance and consultation in connection with SEC filings.

· Law Offices of Bauman and Associates are counsels to the Trust and the Trust’s Independent Trustees; therefore its personnel have access to the Fund’s portfolio holdings in connection with the review of the Fund's annual and semi-annual shareholder reports and SEC filings.

Additions to List of Approved Recipients. The Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer is the person responsible, and whose prior approval is required, for any disclosure of the Fund's portfolio securities at any time or to any persons other than those described above. In such cases, the recipient must have a legitimate business need for the information and must be subject to a duty to keep the information confidential. There are no ongoing arrangements in place with respect to the disclosure of portfolio holdings. In no event shall the Fund, the Adviser or any other party receive any direct or indirect compensation in connection with the disclosure of information about the Fund's portfolio holdings.

Procedures to Address Potential Conflicts of Interest. Except as described above, the Fund is prohibited from entering into any arrangements with any person to make available information about the Fund’s portfolio holdings without the specific approval of the Board. The Adviser must submit any proposed arrangement pursuant to which the Adviser intends to disclose the Fund’s portfolio holdings to the Board, which will review such arrangement to determine whether the arrangement is in the best interests of Fund shareholders. Additionally, the Adviser, and any affiliated persons of the Adviser, are prohibited from receiving compensation or other consideration, for themselves or on behalf of the Fund, as a result of disclosing the Fund’s portfolio holdings.

Compliance with Portfolio Holdings Disclosure Procedures. The Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer will report periodically to the Board with respect to compliance with the Fund’s portfolio holdings disclosure procedures, and from time to time will provide the Board any updates to the portfolio holdings disclosure policies and procedures.

There is no assurance that the Trust’s policies on disclosure of portfolio holdings will protect the Fund from the potential misuse of holdings information by individuals or firms in possession of that information.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TRUST

The Fund is a series of the Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 21, 2016.

3. The Fund Complex consists of State Funds and Plus Trust.

The Board has an Audit Committee consisting of Nory Settineri, an Independent Trustee who serves as Chairman of the Audit Committee. Mr. Settineri has been designated as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under Item 407 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Audit Committee has the responsibility, among other things, to: (i) oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Trust and its internal control over financial reporting; (ii) oversee the quality and integrity of the Trust’s financial statements and the independent audit thereof; (iii) oversee or, as appropriate, assist the Board’s oversight of the Trust’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements that relate to the Trust’s accounting and financial reporting, internal control over financial reporting and independent audit; (iv) approve prior to appointment the engagement of the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm and, in connection therewith, to review and evaluate the qualifications, independence and performance of the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm; and (v) act as a liaison between the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm and the full Board.

The Board also has a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consisting of Mr. Cohen, an Independent Trustee, who serves as Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has the responsibility, among other things, to: (i) evaluate, as necessary, the composition of the Board, its committees and sub-committees and make such recommendations to the Board as deemed appropriate by the Committee; (ii) review and define Independent Trustee qualifications; (iii) review the qualifications of individuals serving as Trustees on the Board and its committees; (iv) evaluate, recommend and nominate qualified individuals for election or appointment as members of the Board and recommend the appointment of members and chairs of each Board committee and subcommittee; and (v) review and assess, from time to time, the performance of the committees and subcommittees of the Board and report the results to the Board.

The officers and Trustees of the Trust, in the aggregate, directly own less than 1% of the shares of the Fund as of the date of this SAI. However, Mr. Abarbanel indirectly owns 100% of the Fund’s shares because he owns 100% of the Adviser, which is the Fund’s sole shareholder as of the date of this SAI.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not consider nominees recommended by shareholders. The Board believes this policy is appropriate because, in the Board’s view, the Independent Trustees are in a better position than shareholders to evaluate the current staffing needs of the Board and the qualifications of candidates relative to those needs.

For each Trustee, the dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned by the Trustee in the Trust and in all registered investment companies advised by the Adviser (“Family of Investment Companies”) that are overseen by the Trustee is shown below.

Remuneration of Trustees

The Trust pays each Independent Trustee an minimum annual retainer of $1,000. In addition to the minimum retainer, each Independent Trustee is entitled to an additional annual $1,000 per average quarterly increase in Fund assets of $50 million (the “Asset-Based Fee”). The Asset-Based Fee will decrease by $1,000 for each average quarterly decrease in Fund assets of $50 million. The Trust also reimburses each Trustee for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending such meetings. No pension or retirement benefits are accrued as part of Trustee compensation. The Interested Trustee receives no compensation from the Trust for services performed as Trustee.

The table below shows the estimated compensation to be paid to the Trustees by the Trust for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. Annual Trustee fees may be reviewed periodically and changed by the Trust’s Board.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Fund, the Adviser and the Distributor have adopted Codes of Ethics as required under the 1940 Act. Subject to certain conditions or restrictions, the Codes of Ethics permit the Trustees, directors, officers or advisory representatives of the Fund or the investment adviser or the directors or officers of the distributor to buy or sell directly or indirectly securities for their own accounts. This includes securities that may be purchased or held by the Fund. Securities transactions by some of these individuals may be subject to prior approval of each entity’s Chief Compliance Officer or alternate. Securities transactions are subject to quarterly reporting and review requirements, except to the extent that certain transactions by the Trust’s Independent Trustees may be exempted by law.

PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

The Fund’s proxy voting record will be available upon request and on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. At this time, the Fund intends to invest exclusively in non-voting securities. To the extent the Fund invests in voting securities, the proxies with respect to such securities will be voted in accordance with policies and procedures adopted by the Adviser in accordance with applicable law. Such policies are attached to this SAI as Appendix A.

The Trust is required to disclose annually the Fund’s complete proxy voting record on Form N-PX covering the period July 1 through June 30 and file it with the SEC no later than August 31. Form N-PX for the Fund will be available through the Fund’s website, at www.tbil.co, or by writing to 5550 Painted Mirage Road, Suite 320, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89149 and 3617 Beverly Ridge Drive, Sherman Oaks, CA, 91423. The Fund’s Form N-PX will also be available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

MANAGEMENT

New York Alaska ETF Management LLC a Nevada limited liability company, serves as investment manager to the Fund pursuant to an investment management agreement (“Investment Management Agreement”) between the Adviser and the Trust. The Adviser is located at 5550 Painted Mirage Road, Suite 320, Las Vegas, Nevada 89149 and 3617 Beverly Ridge Drive, Sherman Oaks, CA, 91423. The Adviser is a newly formed company, was founded in 2015 and as of December 31, 2016, had $0 in assets under management. The Adviser is 100% owned by Ofer Abarbanel.

Compensation. As compensation for its services under the Investment Management Agreement, the Adviser is paid a monthly fee based on a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets at the annual rate of 0.30%. The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive and/or reimburse all expenses of the Fund in order to maintain the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses at 0.36% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The Adviser may, at its sole discretion, modify or terminate this voluntary waiver without notice to the Fund.

Term. The Investment Management Agreement is subject to annual approval by (1) the Board or (2) a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund, provided that in either event such continuance also is approved by a majority of the Board who are not interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. The Investment Management Agreement is terminable without penalty, not more than 60 days’ written notice, by the Board or by a vote of the holders of a majority (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund’s outstanding voting securities. The Investment Management Agreement is also terminable upon 90 days’ notice by the Adviser and will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act).

Indemnification. Pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement, the Trust has agreed to indemnify the Adviser for certain liabilities, including certain liabilities arising under the federal securities laws, unless such loss or liability results from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or the reckless disregard of its obligations and duties.

Payments to Financial Intermediaries

The Adviser and its related companies may pay certain broker-dealers, banks and other financial intermediaries for participating in activities that are designed to make registered representatives and other professionals more knowledgeable about mutual funds or exchange traded products, including the funds managed by

the Adviser, or for other activities, such as participation in marketing activities and presentations, educational training programs, conferences, the development of technology platforms and reporting systems. The Adviser and its related companies may also make payments out of their own assets to financial intermediaries to promote the sale of the Funds. Payments to a broker-dealer or other intermediaries may create potential conflicts of interest between the broker-dealer or intermediaries and their clients, and in order to reduce such potential conflicts of interest, broker-dealers are allowed to pay their clients partial or full cash rebates referred to as an “expense reimbursement” arrangement and a “commission recapture” arrangement. Under these arrangements, the broker-dealer rebates a certain portion or all of an account’s brokerage commissions (or spreads on fixed income or principal trades) directly to the account or pays some of the account’s expenses directly (e.g., custody fees, audit fees, fund management fees etc.).

Custodians

The Fund’s custodians hold the Fund’s Assets pursuant to a custodian agreement signed with each one of them. The Fund holds its assets with custodians who are compliant with SEC rules and regulations and which have been reviewed and deemed satisfactory by New York Alaska ETF Management LLC, the Fund’s investment adviser, pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

The Fund’s custodians are:

· Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. whose principal office is located at 420 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA 94104.

· The Huntington National Bank whose principal office is located at 41 South High Street, Columbus, OH, 43287; and

· Omnium Trust Company Limited whose principal office is located at S.E Pearman Building, 9 Par-la Ville Road, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda.

Accounting and Transfer Agent

Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC (“MSS”), located at 8000 Town Centre Drive, Suite 400, Broadview Heights, OH 44147, serves as the Fund’s Administrator pursuant to a Fund Accounting Agreement (the “Accounting Agreement”). Under the Accounting Agreement, MSS provides necessary accounting,, accounting services, and financial reporting for the maintenance and operations of the Trust. In addition, MSS makes available the office space, equipment, personnel and facilities required to provide such services.

MSS supervises the overall administration of the Trust, including, among other responsibilities, assisting in the preparation and filing of documents required for compliance by the Fund with applicable laws and regulations and arranging for the maintenance of books and records of the Fund. MSS provides persons satisfactory to the Board to serve as officers of the Trust. For the services rendered to the Fund by MSS, the Fund pays MSS the greater of an annual minimum fee or an asset based fee, which scales downward based upon net assets. The Fund also pays MSS for any out-of-pocket expenses.

MSS also serves as the Fund’s transfer agent pursuant to a Transfer Agent Servicing Agreement. MSS may be reimbursed by the Fund for its out-of-pocket expenses.

CONTROL PERSONS AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF SECURITIES

As of the date of this SAI, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co organized under the laws of the state of New York and Old Fort Financial organized under the laws of the Bahamas may be deemed to control the Fund until such time as it owns less than 25% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. A shareholder who owns beneficially more than 25% of any class of a fund is deemed to control that class and determine the outcome of a shareholder meeting with respect to a proposal directly affecting that share class.

The percentage ownership of shares of the Fund changes from time to time depending on purchases and redemptions by shareholders and the total number of shares outstanding.

As of the date of this SAI, the aggregate number of shares of beneficial interest of the Fund owned by the Fund’s officers and Trustees as a group was 2.88% of the Fund’s shares of beneficial interest outstanding since New York Alaska ETF Management LLC organized under the laws of the state of Nevada which acts as the Fund’s advisor provided the initial capital for the Fund by purchasing 10,000 shares for $100,000. In addition, because Mr. Abarbanel owns 100% of the Adviser, he is deemed to indirectly control that portion of ownership of the shares.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER

Other Accounts Managed by the Portfolio Manager

As of December 31, 2016, the Fund’s portfolio manager is not responsible for the management of the portfolio of any account other than the Fund.

Other Portfolio Manager Information

The portfolio manager may also be responsible for managing other account portfolios in addition to the Fund. The portfolio manager’s management of other accounts may give rise to potential conflicts of interest in connection with their management of the Fund investments on the one hand and the investments of the other accounts, on the other. The side-by-side management of the Fund and other accounts presents a variety of potential conflicts of interests. For example, the portfolio manager may purchase or sell securities for one portfolio and not another. The performance of securities within one portfolio may differ from the performance of securities in another portfolio. In some cases, another account managed by the same portfolio manager may compensate the Adviser based on performance of the portfolio held by that account. Performance-based fee arrangements may create an incentive for the Adviser to favor higher fee paying accounts over other accounts, including accounts that are charged no performance-based fees, in the allocation of investment opportunities. Another potential conflict could arise in instances in which securities considered as investments for the Fund are also appropriate investments for other investment accounts managed by the Adviser.

Portfolio Manager Compensation

The compensation of the portfolio manager varies with the general success of the Adviser as a firm. For the services provided to the Fund, the portfolio manager receives (i) a base salary, and (ii) bonuses, calculated as a percentage of Fund assets, awarded if the Fund meets certain performance or asset targets over a monthly period. Performance-based bonuses are awarded if the Fund’s post-tax returns are greater than the then-current London Interbank Offered Rate over the applicable month. All bonuses received by the portfolio managers are subject to clawback by the Adviser if the return and asset size targets are not met.

Portfolio Manager Share Ownership

As of the date of this SAI, Mr. Abbate does not beneficially own any shares of the Fund.

BROKERAGE TRANSACTIONS

The Adviser assumes general supervision over placing orders on behalf of the Fund for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities. In selecting brokers or dealers for any transaction in portfolio securities, the Adviser’s policy is to make such selection based on factors deemed relevant, including but not limited to, the breadth of the market in the security, the price of the security, the reasonableness of the commission or mark-up or mark-down, if any, execution capability, settlement capability, back office efficiency and the financial condition of the broker or dealer, both for the specific transaction and on a continuing basis. The overall reasonableness of brokerage commissions paid is evaluated by the Adviser based upon its knowledge of available information as to the general level of commissions paid by other institutional investors for comparable services. Brokers may also be selected because of their ability to handle special or difficult executions, such as may be involved in large block trades, less liquid securities, broad distributions, or other circumstances. The Trust has adopted policies and procedures that prohibit the consideration of sales of the Fund’s shares as a factor in the selection of a broker or a dealer to execute its portfolio transactions.

To the extent applicable and consistent with Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act, and interpretations thereunder, the Adviser may cause the Fund to pay a higher commission than otherwise obtainable from other brokers or dealers in return for brokerage or research services and products if the Adviser determines in good faith that the commission is reasonable in relation to the services and products utilized. In addition to agency transactions, the Adviser may receive brokerage or research services and products in connection with certain riskless principal transactions, in accordance with applicable SEC and other regulatory guidelines. In both instances, these services and products may include but are not limited to: economic, industry, or company research reports or investment recommendations; subscriptions to certain financial publications; market data such as stock quotes, last sale prices, trading volumes and similar data; databases and software, including, but not limited to, quantitative analytical software; and products and services that assist in effecting transactions and functions incidental thereto, including services of third-party computer systems directly related to brokerage activities and routing settlement instructions.

The Adviser may use brokerage or research services and products furnished by brokers, dealers or service providers in servicing all client accounts, and not all services and products may necessarily be used in connection with the account that paid the commissions or spreads to the broker or dealer.

The Fund’s purchase and sale orders for securities may be combined with those of other investment companies, clients or accounts that the Adviser manages or advises and for which it has brokerage placement authority. If purchases or sales of portfolio securities of the Fund and one or more other accounts managed or advised by the Adviser are considered at or about the same time, transactions in such securities are allocated among the Fund and the other accounts in a manner deemed equitable to all by the Adviser. In some cases, this procedure could have a detrimental effect on the price or volume of the security as far as the Fund is concerned. However, in other cases, it is possible that the ability to participate in volume transactions and to negotiate lower transaction costs will be beneficial to the Fund. The Adviser may deal, trade and invest for its own account in the types of securities in which the Fund may invest. The Adviser may, from time to time, effect trades on behalf of and for the account of the Fund with brokers or dealers that are affiliated with the Adviser, in conformity with the 1940 Act and SEC rules and regulations. Under these provisions, any commissions paid to affiliated brokers or dealers must be reasonable and fair compared to the commissions charged by other brokers or dealers in comparable transactions. The Fund will not deal with affiliates in principal transactions unless permitted by applicable SEC rule or regulation or by SEC exemptive order.

Portfolio turnover may vary from year to year, as well as within a year. High turnover rates are likely to result in comparatively greater brokerage expenses and taxable distributions. The overall reasonableness of brokerage commissions is evaluated by the Adviser based upon its knowledge of available information as to the general level of commissions paid by other institutional investors for comparable services.

Securities Lending and Derivatives

Mr. Abarbanel is an outsourced consultant to, and former owner and CEO of, Contact Prime Brokerage, Ltd. (“Contact Prime Brokerage”), an Israeli based firm which specializes in securities lending, issuance of structured notes and the selling of derivatives. The Fund may from time to time enter into a securities lending and/or derivative transaction with a party that has also borrowed securities or purchased structured notes and/or derivatives from Contact Prime Brokerage. Contract Prime Brokerage has agreed that in the event of a default by any such borrower, Contact Prime Brokerage will subordinate its interest to that of the Fund. Additionally, the Fund’s securities finance transactions detailed in the main principal strategy section of the prospectus will be conducted at market rates or higher for the benefit of the Fund and its shareholders and will be approved by the majority of the Independent Trustees.

CAPITAL STOCK

The Trust currently is comprised of one investment fund. The Trust issues one class of Fund shares of beneficial interest with no par value. The Board may designate additional funds of the Trust or additional classes of shares of the Fund.

Each share issued by the Fund has a pro rata interest in the assets of the Fund. Shares have no pre-emptive, exchange, subscription or conversion rights and are freely transferable. Each share is entitled to participate equally in dividends and distributions declared by the Board with respect to the Fund, and in the net distributable assets of the Fund on liquidation. The Fund may liquidate and terminate at any time and for any reason, without shareholder approval.

Each share has one vote with respect to matters upon which a shareholder vote is required consistent with the requirements of the 1940 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder and each fractional share has a proportional fractional vote. Shares of all funds vote together as a single class except that if the matter being voted on affects only a particular fund it will be voted on only by that fund, and if a matter affects a particular fund differently from other funds, that fund will vote separately on such matter. Under Delaware law, the Trust is not required to hold an annual meeting of shareholders unless required to do so under the 1940 Act. The policy of the Trust is not to hold an annual meeting of shareholders unless required to do so under the 1940 Act.

All shares of the Fund have noncumulative voting rights for the election of Trustees. Under Delaware law, Trustees of the Trust may be removed by vote of the shareholders.

Under Delaware law, the shareholders of the Fund are not generally subject to liability for the debts or obligations of the Trust. Similarly, Delaware law provides that the Fund will not be liable for the debts or obligations of any other series of the Trust. However, no similar statutory or other authority limiting statutory trust shareholder liability may exist in other states. As a result, to the extent that a Delaware statutory trust or a shareholder is subject to the jurisdiction of courts of such other states, the courts may not apply Delaware law and may thereby subject the Delaware statutory trust’s shareholders to liability for the debts or obligations of the Trust. The Trust’s Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification by the Fund for all loss suffered by a shareholder as a result of an obligation of the Fund. The Declaration of Trust also provides that the Fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the Fund and satisfy any judgment thereon.

Shareholder inquiries may be made by writing to the Trust, c/o New York Alaska ETF Management LLC, 5550 Painted Mirage Road, Suite 320, Las Vegas, Nevada 89149.

PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES

You may purchase and redeem shares of the Fund on any day that the New York Stock Exchange is open. Purchase and redemption requests may be made in writing, by telephone, or through a financial intermediary and will be paid by ACH, check or wire transfer.

Additional Purchase and Redemption Information

Generally, all purchases must be made in cash. However, the Fund reserves the right to accept payment in readily marketable securities instead of cash in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. If payment is made in securities, the Fund will value the securities in the same manner in which it computes its NAV. Generally, all redemptions will be for cash. However, if you redeem shares worth more than the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the value of the net assets of the Fund, the Fund reserves the right to pay part or all of your redemption proceeds in readily marketable securities instead of cash in accordance with procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. If payment is made in securities, the Fund will value the securities selected in the same manner in which it computes its NAV. This process minimizes the effect of large redemptions on the Fund and its remaining shareholders.

The Trust may suspend the right of redemption for such periods as are permitted under the 1940 Act and under the following unusual circumstances: (a) when the New York Stock Exchange is closed (other than weekends and holidays) or trading is restricted, (b) when an emergency exists, making disposal of portfolio securities or the valuation of net assets not reasonably practicable, or (c) during any period when the SEC has by order permitted a suspension of redemption for the protection of shareholders.

DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

Shares of the Fund will be offered to the public at net asset value (“NAV”). The NAV per share for the Fund is computed by dividing the value of the net assets of the Fund (i.e., the value of its total assets less total liabilities) by the total number of shares outstanding. Expenses and fees, including the management fee, are accrued daily and taken into account for purposes of determining NAV.

The NAV of the Fund is determined each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for business, as of the close of trading (ordinarily 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the NYSE. In accordance with Rule 22c-1 under the 1940 Act, the Fund reserves the right to change the time its NAV is calculated on (i) days on which changes in the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities will not materially affect the current net asset value of the Fund’s shares; and (ii) days during which no Fund share is tendered for redemption and no order to purchase a Fund share is received by the Fund. In addition, the Board may change the time at which the Fund’s NAV is calculated if the Board deems such change necessary.

For purposes of calculating NAV, portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotes are readily available are valued at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or pricing services. Domestic fixed income securities are normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or pricing services using data reflecting the earlier closing of the principal markets for those securities. Prices obtained from independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Certain fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date.

Securities and other assets for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees or persons acting at their direction. The Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities and other assets in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility for applying the valuation methods. In the event that market quotes are not readily available, and the security or asset cannot be valued pursuant to one of the valuation methods, the value of the security or asset will be determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees, generally based upon recommendations provided by the Adviser.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

General Policies

Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid every two weeks by the Fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, generally are declared and paid once a year, but the Trust may

make distributions on a more frequent basis for the Fund to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, in all events in a manner consistent with the provisions of the 1940 Act. It is currently expected that the Fund will distribute virtually all of its net income (interest less expenses) bi-weekly or monthly while capital gains distributions will generally occur annually in December.

Dividends and other distributions on shares are distributed, as described below, on a pro rata basis to beneficial owners of such shares. Dividend payments are made through Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners then of record with proceeds received from the Trust. The Trust makes additional distributions to the minimum extent necessary (i) to distribute the entire annual taxable income and net tax-exempt interest income of the Trust, plus any net capital gains and (ii) to avoid imposition of the excise tax imposed by Section 4982 of the Internal Revenue Code. Management of the Trust reserves the right to declare special dividends if, in its reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of the Fund as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes on undistributed income.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT SERVICE

TAXES

The following summary of certain relevant tax provisions is subject to change, and does not constitute legal or tax advice.

The Fund intends to qualify for and to elect treatment as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a RIC, the Fund will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the portion of its taxable investment income and capital gains that it distributes to its shareholders.

To qualify for treatment as a RIC, a company must annually distribute an amount at least equal to 90% of its net investment company taxable income (which includes dividends, interest and net short-term capital gains) and 90% of its net tax-exempt interest income, for each tax year, if any, to its shareholders and meet several other requirements relating to the nature of its income and the diversification of its assets, among others. If the Fund fails to qualify for any taxable year as a RIC, all of its taxable income will be subject to tax at regular corporate income tax rates without any deduction for distributions to shareholders, and such distributions generally will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary dividends to the extent of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits.

The Fund will be subject to a 4% excise tax on certain undistributed income if it generally does not distribute to its shareholders in each calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of 98% of its ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, 98.2% of its capital gain net income for the twelve months ended October 31 of such year, and 100% of any undistributed amounts from the prior years. Although the Fund generally intends to declare and distribute dividends and distributions in the amounts and at the times necessary to avoid the application of this 4% excise tax, the Fund may elect to retain a portion of its income and gains, and in such a case, the Fund may be subject to excise tax.

Dividends, interest and gains received by the Fund from a non-U.S. investment may give rise to withholding and other taxes imposed by foreign countries. Tax conventions between certain countries and the United States may reduce or eliminate such taxes.

Under Section 988 of the Internal Revenue Code, special rules are provided for certain transactions in a foreign currency other than the taxpayer’s functional currency (i.e., unless certain special rules apply, currencies other than the U.S. dollar). In general, foreign currency gains or losses from forward contracts, from futures contracts that are not “regulated futures contracts,” and from unlisted options will be treated as ordinary income or loss under Section 988 of the Internal Revenue Code. Also, certain foreign exchange gains or losses derived with respect to foreign fixed income securities are also subject to Section 988 treatment. In general, therefore, Section 988 gains or losses will increase or decrease the amount of the Fund’s investment company taxable income available to be distributed to shareholders as ordinary income, rather than increasing or decreasing the amount of the Fund’s net capital gain. If a portion of the Fund’s investment income may be received in foreign currencies, the Fund will be required to compute its income in U.S. dollars for distribution to shareholders. After the Fund has distributed income, subsequent foreign currency losses may result in the Fund having distributed more income in a particular fiscal period than was available from investment income, which could result in a return of capital to shareholders.

The Fund will report to shareholders annually the amounts of dividends received from ordinary income and the amount of distributions received from capital gains and the portion of dividends, if any, which may qualify for the dividends received deduction. Certain ordinary dividends paid to non-corporate shareholders may qualify for taxation at a lower tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains provided holding period and other requirements are met at both the shareholder and Fund levels. The Fund does not expect that any of its distributions will be qualified dividends eligible for lower tax rates or for the corporate dividends received deduction.

In general, a sale of shares results in capital gain or loss, and for individual shareholders, is taxable at a federal rate dependent upon the length of time the shares were held. A redemption of a shareholder’s Fund shares is normally treated as a sale for tax purposes. Fund shares held for a period of one year or less at the time of such sale or redemption will, for tax purposes, generally result in short-term capital gains or losses, and those held for more than one year will generally result in long-term capital gains or losses. The maximum tax rate on long-term capital gains available to a non-corporate shareholder generally is 15% or 20%, depending on whether the shareholder’s income exceeds certain threshold amounts.

An additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from the Fund and net gains from redemptions or other taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income” (in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds certain threshold amounts.

Gain or loss on the sale or redemption of Fund shares is measured by the difference between the amount of cash received (or the fair market value of any property received) and the adjusted tax basis of the shares. Shareholders should keep records of investments made (including shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends

and distributions) so they can compute the tax basis of their Fund shares. Legislation passed by Congress requires reporting of adjusted cost basis information for covered securities (including covered securities purchased pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan), which generally include shares of a regulated investment company acquired after January 1, 2012, to the Internal Revenue Service and to taxpayers. Shareholders should contact their financial intermediaries with respect to reporting of cost basis and available elections for their accounts.

A loss realized on a sale or exchange of shares of the Fund may be disallowed if other Fund shares (or substantially identical shares) are acquired (whether through the automatic reinvestment of dividends or otherwise) within a sixty-one (61) day period beginning thirty (30) days before and ending thirty (30) days after the date that the shares are disposed of. In such a case, the basis of the shares acquired will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss. Any loss upon the sale or exchange of shares held for six (6) months or less will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of any capital gain dividends received by the shareholders. Distribution of ordinary income and capital gains may also be subject to foreign, state and local taxes.

The Fund may make investments in which it recognizes income or gain prior to receiving cash with respect to such investment. For example, some of the debt securities (with a fixed maturity date of more than one year from the date of issuance) that may be acquired by the Fund may be treated as debt securities that are issued originally at a discount. Generally, the amount of the original issue discount (“OID”) is treated as interest income and is included in income over the term of the debt security, even though payment of that amount is not received until a later time, usually when the debt security matures.

Some of the debt securities (with a fixed maturity date of more than one year from the date of issuance) that may be acquired by the Fund in the secondary market may be treated as having market discount. Generally, any gain recognized on the disposition of, and any partial payment of principal on, a debt security having market discount is treated as ordinary income to the extent the gain, or principal payment, does not exceed the “accrued market discount” on such debt security. Market discount generally accrues in equal daily installments. The Fund may make one or more of the elections applicable to debt securities having market discount, which could affect the character and timing of recognition of income.

Some debt securities (with a fixed maturity date of one year or less from the date of issuance) that may be acquired by the Fund may be treated as having acquisition discount, or OID in the case of certain types of debt securities. Generally, the Fund will be required to include the acquisition discount, or OID, in income over the term of the debt security, even though payment of that amount is not received until a later time, usually when the debt security matures. The Fund may make one or more of the elections applicable to debt securities having acquisition discount, or OID, which could affect the character and timing of recognition of income.

The Fund generally will be required to distribute dividends to shareholders representing discount on debt securities that is currently includable in income, even though cash representing such income may not have been received by the Fund. Cash to pay such dividends may be obtained from sales proceeds of securities held by the Fund.

Distributions reinvested through the means of a dividend reinvestment service (see “Dividend Reinvestment Service”) in additional Fund shares will nevertheless be taxable dividends to beneficial owners acquiring such additional shares to the same extent as if such dividends had been received in cash.

Some shareholders may be subject to a withholding tax on distributions of ordinary income, capital gains and any cash received on redemption shares (“backup withholding”). The backup withholding rate for individuals is currently 28%. Generally, shareholders subject to backup withholding will be those for whom no certified taxpayer identification number is on file with the Fund or who, to the Fund’s knowledge, have furnished an incorrect number.

When establishing an account, an investor must certify under penalty of perjury that such number is correct and that such investor is not otherwise subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld will be allowed as a credit against shareholders’ U.S. federal income tax liabilities, and may entitle them to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

If you are not a citizen or resident alien of the United States or if you are a non-U.S. entity, you are a “Non-U.S. Shareholder.” Distributions by the Fund will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Shareholder generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a 30% rate or a reduced rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty. If a Non-U.S. Shareholder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Shareholder will be required to provide an applicable IRS Form W-8 certifying its entitlement to benefits under the treaty in order to obtain a reduced rate of withholding tax. However, if the distributions are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the Non-U.S. Shareholder (or, if an income tax treaty applies, attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States of the Non-U.S. Shareholder), then the distributions will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the rates applicable to U.S. persons, plus, in certain cases where the Non-U.S. Shareholder is a corporation, a branch profits tax at a 30% rate (or lower rate provided in an applicable treaty).

If the Non-U.S. Shareholder is subject to such U.S. income tax on a distribution, then we are not required to withhold U.S. federal tax if the Non-U.S. Shareholder complies with applicable certification and disclosure requirements. Special certification requirements apply to a Non-U.S. Shareholder that is a foreign partnership or a foreign trust, and such entities are urged to consult their own tax advisors.

If the amount of a distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, such excess will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the non-U.S. shareholder’s tax basis in our shares. To the extent that any distribution received by a Non-U.S. Shareholder exceeds the Non-U.S. Shareholder’s tax basis in our shares and our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated as gain from the sale of the shares and will be taxed as described immediately below.

A Non-U.S. Shareholder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on gain realized on the sale, exchange or other non-redemption disposition of our shares, unless (i) the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of the Non-U.S. Shareholder in the United States (or, if the Non-U.S. Shareholder is eligible for the benefits of a U.S. tax treaty, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States of the Non-U.S. Shareholder); (ii) the Non-U.S. Shareholder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and who has a “tax home” in the United States; or (iii) we are or have been a U.S. real property holding corporation at any time within the five-year period preceding the date of disposition of our shares or, if shorter, within the period during which the non-U.S. shareholder has held our shares. Generally, a corporation is a U.S. real property holding corporation if the fair market value of its U.S. real property interests, as defined in the Code and applicable Treasury regulations, equals or exceeds 50% of the aggregate fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. We do not expect to be treated as a U.S. real property holding corporation.

With respect to distributions to Non-U.S. Shareholders which are reinvested through the means of a dividend reinvestment service (see “Dividend Reinvestment Service”), if (i) the distribution is a distribution of our investment company taxable income, (ii) the distribution is not designated by us as a qualified short-term capital

gain dividend or a qualified interest-related dividend (if applicable), and (iii) the distribution is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the Non-U.S. Shareholder (or, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is not attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of the Non-U.S. Shareholder), the amount distributed (to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits) will be subject to withholding of federal income tax at a 30% rate (or lower rate provided by an applicable income tax treaty) and only the net after-tax amount will be reinvested in our shares. If the distribution is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of

the Non-U.S. Shareholder (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of the Non-U.S. Shareholder), the full amount of the distribution generally will be reinvested in our shares and will nevertheless be subject to federal income tax at the ordinary income rates applicable to U.S. persons. The Non-U.S. Shareholder will have an adjusted tax basis in the additional shares purchased through the dividend reinvestment plan equal to the amount of the reinvested distribution. The additional shares will have a new holding period commencing on the day following the day on which the shares are credited to the Non-U.S. Shareholder’s account.

As part of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, (“FATCA”), the Fund may be required to impose a 30% withholding tax on certain types of U.S. sourced income (e.g., dividends, interest, and other types of passive income) paid effective July 1, 2014, and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of property producing U.S. sourced income paid effective January 1, 2017 to (i) foreign financial institutions (“FFIs”), including non-U.S. investment funds, unless they agree to collect and disclose to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) information regarding their direct and indirect U.S. account holders and (ii) certain nonfinancial foreign entities (“NFFEs”), unless they certify certain information regarding their direct and indirect U.S. owners.

To avoid possible withholding, FFIs will need to enter into agreements with the IRS which state that they will provide the IRS information, including the names, account numbers and balances, addresses and taxpayer identification numbers of direct and indirect U.S. account holders and comply with due diligence procedures with respect to the identification of U.S. accounts as well as agree to withhold tax on certain types of withholdable payments made to non-compliant foreign financial institutions or to applicable foreign account holders who fail to provide the required information to the IRS, or similar account information and required documentation to a local revenue authority, should an applicable intergovernmental agreement be implemented. NFFEs will need to provide the name, address, account numbers and balances and taxpayer identification number of each substantial U.S. owner or certifications of no substantial U.S. ownership, unless certain exceptions apply, or agree to provide certain information to the IRS.

While final FATCA rules have not been finalized, the Fund may be subject to the FATCA withholding obligation, and also will be required to perform extensive due diligence reviews to classify foreign entity investors for FATCA purposes. Investors are required to agree to provide information necessary to allow the Fund to comply with the FATCA rules. If the Fund is required to withhold amounts from payments pursuant to FATCA, investors will receive distributions that are reduced by such withholding amounts.

Non-U.S. shareholders are advised to consult their tax advisors with respect to the particular tax consequences to them of an investment in the Fund, including the possible applicability of the U.S. estate tax. The foregoing discussion is a summary only and is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning. Purchasers of shares of the Trust should consult their own tax advisers as to the tax consequences of investing in such shares, including under state, local and other tax laws. Finally, the foregoing discussion is based on applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, regulations, judicial authority and administrative interpretations in effect on the date hereof. Changes in applicable authority could materially affect the conclusions discussed above, and such changes often occur.

Reportable Transactions

Under promulgated Treasury regulations, if a shareholder recognizes a loss on disposition of the Fund’s shares of $2 million or more in any one taxable year (or $4 million or more over a period of six taxable years) for an individual shareholder or $10 million or more in any taxable year (or $20 million or more over a period of six taxable years) for a corporate shareholder, the shareholder must file with the IRS a disclosure statement on Form 8886. Direct shareholders of portfolio securities are in many cases excepted from this reporting requirement, but under current guidance, shareholders of a RIC that engaged in a reportable transaction are not excepted. Future guidance may extend the current exception from this reporting requirement to shareholders of most or all RICs.

In addition, significant penalties may be imposed for the failure to comply with the reporting requirements. The fact that a loss is reportable under these regulations does not affect the legal determination of whether the taxpayer’s treatment of the loss is proper. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors to determine the applicability of these regulations in light of their individual circumstances.

DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS

Distributor

Rafferty Capital Markets, LLC (the “Distributor”) is the principal underwriter and distributor of shares. Its principal address is 1010 Franklin Avenue Suite 300A Garden City, NY 11530 and investor information can be obtained by calling +1-516-535-3818. The Distributor has entered into an agreement with the Trust which will continue from its effective date unless terminated by either party upon 60 days’ prior written notice to the other party by the Trust or by the Distributor, and which is renewable annually thereafter (the “Distribution Agreement”), pursuant to which it distributes shares. The Distribution Agreement provides that the Distributor, as agent in connection with the distribution of Fund shares, will use best efforts to facilitate the sale of the Fund’s shares. Shares will be continuously offered for sale by the Trust through the Distributor. The Distributor is a broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). The Distributor has no role in determining the investment policies of the Fund or which securities are to be purchased or sold by the Fund.

Payment of Additional Cash Compensation

On occasion, the Adviser may make payments out of its resources and profits to financial intermediaries as incentives to market the Fund, to cooperate with the Adviser’s promotional efforts, or in recognition of the provision of administrative services and marketing and/or processing support. These payments are often referred to as “additional cash compensation” and are in addition to the sales charges and payments to financial intermediaries as discussed in above. The payments are made pursuant to agreements between financial intermediaries and the Adviser and do not affect the price investors pay to purchase shares of the Fund, the amount the Fund will receive as proceeds from such sales, or the amount of other expenses paid by the Fund. Additional cash compensation payments may be used to pay financial intermediaries for: (1) transaction support, including any one-time charges for establishing access to Fund shares on particular trading systems (known as “platform access fees”); (2) program support, such as expenses related to including the Fund in retirement programs, fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs, fund supermarkets, bank or trust company products, and/or insurance programs (e.g., individual or group annuity contracts); (3) marketing support, such as providing representatives of the Adviser access to sales meetings, sales representatives and management representatives; (4) firm support, such as business planning assistance, advertising, and assistance with educating sales personnel about the Fund and shareholder financial planning needs; (5) providing shareholder and administrative services; and (6) providing other distribution-related or asset retention services. Additional cash compensation payments generally are structured as basis point payments on gross or net sales or, in the case of platform access fees, fixed dollar amounts.

In addition to member firms of FINRA, the Adviser or Distributor also reserves the ability to make payments, as described above, to other financial intermediaries that sell or provide services to the Fund and shareholders, such as banks, insurance companies, and plan administrators. These firms may include affiliates of the

Adviser. The Adviser, the Distributor and their affiliates also may pay non-cash compensation to financial intermediaries and their representatives in the form of (1) occasional gifts; (2) occasional meals, tickets or other entertainment; and/or (3) sponsorship support of regional or national conferences or seminars. Such non-cash compensation will be made subject to applicable law.

Payments to a broker-dealer or other intermediaries may create potential conflicts of interest between the broker-dealer or intermediaries and their clients, and in order to reduce such potential conflicts of interest broker-dealers are allowed to pay their clients partial or full cash rebates referred to as an “expense reimbursement” arrangement and a “commission recapture” arrangement. Under these arrangements, the broker-dealer rebates a certain portion or all of an account’s brokerage commissions (or spreads on fixed income or principal trades) directly to the account or pays some of the account’s expenses directly (e.g., custody fees, audit fees, fund management fees etc.).

APPENDIX A
Adviser Proxy Voting Policy And Procedures

The Adviser invests solely in U.S. Treasury Bills and cash; therefore, there are no instances in which an investor would receive proxy notices. Should this change, policies and procedures will be established.
