PBCS Investment Objective and Strategy

Portfolio Building Block World Consumer Staples ETF describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Tidal Trust IV.

Investment objective

The Portfolio Building Block World Consumer Staples ETF (the Fund) seeks to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the BITA Global Consumer Staples Select Index (the Index).

Principal investment strategy

Overview The Fund uses a passive management (or indexing) approach to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Index. The Index is constructed using a rules-based methodology that identifies companies in the consumer staples sector with publicly traded ordinary shares listed on major stock exchanges in developed markets, as classified by BITA GmbH (the Index Provider). Index Overview: The Indexs initial universe consists of all publicly listed equity securities for which sufficient relevant information is available from public sources. The initial universe is screened using the following criteria, which are based on each companys financial information for the most recent quarter: A. Consumer Staples Sector: To be eligible for inclusion, a company must be classified as operating within the consumer staples sector according to a rules-based methodology defined by the Index Provider.

This classification is determined by applying the following predefined criteria: According to BITAs thematic data methodology, to be eligible companies must have a Thematic Exposure Score of at least 50%. A companys total Thematic Exposure Score is equivalent to the sum of the revenue derived by the company from each relevant PSA, as a proportion of the companys total revenue. BITA approaches the construction and research of Themes through the mapping of products, services, and business activities (PSA) into a set of granular Sub-Themes designed to facilitate the construction of heavily focused index and data products. The universe includes companies whose Products, Services, and Activities (PSA) are integral to the consumer staples sector. These companies operate across the following Sub-Themes: ?

Food, Beverage & Tobacco Production : Companies engaged in the processing and manufacturing of agricultural and synthetic raw materials into branded food and beverage products. This includes producers of packaged foods, meats, and dairy products; brewers, distillers, and vintners of alcoholic beverages; and manufacturers of soft drinks and bottled water. It also includes companies involved in the cultivation and processing of tobacco and related products. ? Household & Personal Care Manufacturing : Companies that develop and manufacture non-durable consumer staples intended for personal hygiene and household maintenance. This includes manufacturers of soaps, detergents, and cleaning supplies; paper packaging and sanitary paper products; and personal care items such as cosmetics, skincare, and oral hygiene products that are considered daily essentials rather than discretionary luxuries.

? Essential Retail & Distribution : Companies that operate the distribution channels necessary to deliver essential staples to end consumers. This includes owners and operators of hypermarkets, supercenters, and grocery stores; drug retail chains and pharmacies; and food distributors. These firms typically manage high-volume, low-margin business models focused on the sale of food, beverage, and household staples. B. Market Capitalization : Companies with a market capitalization (i.e., the total market value of a companys shares that are readily available for public trading, excluding shares held by insiders or controlling shareholders) of at least $10 billion. C. Developed Markets : To be eligible for inclusion, a companys shares must be listed on a major stock exchange in a developed market.

For the purposes of the Index, stock exchanges in developed markets are defined as the following (listed alphabetically by country): Australia (Australian Stock Exchange); Austria (Vienna Stock Exchange); Belgium (Euronext Brussels); Canada (Canadian Securities Exchange, Toronto Stock Exchange, and TSX Venture Exchange); Denmark (Nasdaq Copenhagen); Finland (Nasdaq Helsinki); France (Euronext Paris Exchange); Germany (Deutsche Borse); Hong Kong (Hong Kong Stock Exchange); Ireland (Euronext Irish Stock Exchange); Israel (Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange); Italy (Borsa Italiana); Japan (Tokyo Stock Exchange); Netherlands (Euronext Amsterdam Stock Exchange); New Zealand (New Zealand Stock Exchange); Norway (Euronext Oslo Brs); Portugal (Euronext Lisbon); Singapore (Singapore Exchange); Spain (Bolsas y Mercados Espanoles); Sweden (Nasdaq Stockholm); Switzerland (SIX Swiss Exchange); United Kingdom (London Stock Exchange); and United States (Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange).

D. Ordinary Shares : The Index includes only ordinary shares of eligible companies. Ordinary shares represent ownership in a company and typically give shareholders the right to vote and receive dividends. Companies that meet the foregoing screens are included in the Index. The Index is expected to be comprised of 70 constituents, however, the number of constituents will vary over time. The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced quarterly (reconstitution means the Index is updated with new eligible companies based on current data; rebalancing means the weights of the companies in the Index are adjusted). In addition, the Index Provider may determine to substitute an Index constituent or make an extraordinary adjustment to the Index if it determines an extraordinary event has occurred. The determination date for regular adjustments takes place on the first Friday of the rebalancing month.

On each determination day, Index constituents are weighted according to their free-float market capitalization. In addition, the Index methodology includes the following capping constraints to limit the amount that an issuer or issuers can make up of the Index: (1) no single issuer may exceed 25% of the Index weight; and (2) all issuers with individual weights above 4.5% may not, in the aggregate, exceed 45% of the total Index weight. To the extent the Index is concentrated in a particular industry or industries, the Fund is expected to be concentrated in that industry or industries. It is expected that the Index will be concentrated in one or more of the industries that comprise the consumer staples sector. The Index is owned, calculated, administered, and disseminated by the Index Provider.

The Index Provider is not affiliated with the Funds investment adviser, Tidal Investments LLC (the Adviser). The Funds Investment Strategy Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of the Funds net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in component securities that make up the Index. The Fund attempts to invest all, or substantially all, of its assets in the component securities that make up the Index. The Fund will generally use a replication strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in all of the component securities of the Index. However, the Fund may use a representative sampling strategy, meaning it may invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics closely resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole, when the Adviser believes it is in the best interests of the Fund.

For example, representative sampling may be used when replicating the Index involves practical difficulties or substantial costs, an Index constituent becomes temporarily illiquid, unavailable, or less liquid, or as a result of legal restrictions or limitations that apply to the Fund but not to the Index. The Fund will invest in listed equity securities, which may include common stocks, business trust shares, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), which are securities listed on US exchanges that represent shares of foreign companies, and other equity investments or ownership interests in business enterprises. The Fund is classified as non-diversified, which means the Fund may invest a larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund.
