EFAB Investment Objective and Strategy

VistaShares Shield™ International Enhanced Protection ETF describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Tidal Trust III.

Investment objective

The VistaShares Shield International Enhanced Protection ETF (the “Fund”) seeks capital appreciation.

Principal investment strategy

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by delivering participation in the price return of a broad international equity market index, while seeking to provide a measure of downside protection through a flexible, options-based investment strategy. The Fund does so through synthetic net long exposure in the underlying asset class(es) through call options that seek to provide limited participation in increases and decreases in the price returns of the underlying securities. The Fund’s portfolio securities are selected by the Fund’s sub-adviser, VistaShares Advisors LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”). The Fund employs a flexible outcome strategy designed to provide investors with equity market exposure while incorporating a dynamic downside risk management overlay.

Unlike traditional defined outcome strategies that seek to produce pre-determined outcomes over a fixed period, the Fund’s strategy is continuous and adaptive and does not rely on a single, fixed outcome period to achieve its investment objective. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investments that provide exposure to the performance of a broad-based index of equity securities of companies in developed markets outside the United States and Canada (the “Index”), including investments that reference an underlying exchange-traded fund (the “Underlying ETF”). Initially, the Fund expects to obtain such exposure though the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (“EFA”). The Sub-Adviser selects the Underlying ETF based on its ability to provide exposure to the developed international equity markets represented by the Index and may select a different Underlying ETF over time if it determines that a different ETF would provide substantially similar exposure to such markets and would be appropriate for implementing the Fund’s options strategy.
