On July 16, 2026, we celebrated the one-year anniversary of the launch of AAAA, the Amplius Aggressive Asset Allocation ETF. We created AAAA to bring our team’s investment philosophy and active asset allocation approach to a broader group of investors in a tax-efficient ETF structure. The ETF was seeded through a Section 351 exchange, permitting eligible investors to contribute appreciated securities into the fund’s portfolio while deferring the recognition of capital gains.
We are grateful to the clients who joined us on that journey and placed their trust in the Amplius team from the beginning.
AAAA was designed with a neutral equity allocation of 80%, providing diversified exposure across U.S. and international equity markets while giving our investment team the flexibility to adjust positioning as market conditions and opportunities evolve.
Over its first year, AAAA delivered a 23.23% NAV return, outperforming the Custom Aggressive Blended Index, which returned 19.59%. Performance is measured as of the market close on July 15, 2026, marking one year since the fund’s inception on July 16, 2025.
The aggressive blended index is comprised of:
20% Solactive US Aggregate Bond Index
65% Solactive GBS United States All Cap Index
10% Solactive GBS Developed Markets ex North America Large & Mid Cap Index
5% Solactive GBS Emerging Markets Large & Mid Cap Index
The index is unmanaged, does not incur fees or expenses, and is not available for direct investment.
Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when
redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. Returns less than one year are not annualized. For more information about the Funds investment objectives, risks, expenses, standardized performance current to the most recent month-end and to obtain a prospectus visit www.ampliusetfs.com.
While one year is only a small part of a long-term investment journey, we believe the results provide an encouraging early example of the philosophy behind AAAA: maintain broad diversification, participate in long-term market growth, and actively adjust asset allocation when we believe opportunities or risks warrant a change.
We are proud of AAAA’s progress during its first year and, more importantly, remain focused on the years ahead. Our objective has not changed: to provide investors with a diversified, tax-efficient portfolio that combines the benefits of long-term investing with the flexibility of active asset allocation.
