Why Invest in MAYZ
TRUEOUTCOME
DOWNSIDE RISK MITIGATION / UNCAPPED UPSIDE PARTICIPATION / CLEARER EXPECTATIONS
TrueShares Structured Outcome (May) ETF utilizes a "buffer protect" options strategy, that seeks to provide investors with returns (before fees and expenses) correlated to those of the S&P 500 Price Index. As part of this strategy, MAYZ seeks to provide an 8-12% downside buffer (with the advisor targeting 10%) on the first of that index's losses over a 12-month investment period, beginning on a specified date and resetting exactly 12 months later. The strategy is implemented through the purchase and sale of options on the S&P 500 Price Index or an ETF that tracks the S&P 500 Price Index.Why Invest in MAYZ

Performance data quoted on this website represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed or sold in the secondary market, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Investors will incur usual and customary brokerage commissions when buying or selling shares of the exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) in the secondary market, and that, if reflected, the brokerage commissions would reduce the performance returns. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance shown. Shares are bought and sold at market price not net asset value (“NAV”) and are not individually redeemable from the fund. Call 877-774-TRUE (8783) for performance data current to the most recent month end. Click here to view or download the factsheet for quarter-end standardized performance.
Index performance does not represent True-Shares fund performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Performance 1-year and less are cumulative; performance over 1-year are average annualized total returns. Market price performance is determined using the bid/ask midpoint at 4:00pm Eastern time, when the NAV is typically calculated. NAV price performance is determined using the daily calculated NAV. They do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or upon redemption or sale of fund shares.
