Performance of an index is not illustrative of any particular investment. The Wave Select 5 Index represents a hypothetical, back-tested, and unaudited return-stream that does not represent the returns of an actual account. Index performance does not include the fees and expenses. Actual returns may differ materially from hypothetical, back-tested returns. Back-testing is calculated by retroactively applying an index-weighted methodology to the historical data. Cryptocurrency selection for the index fund will be based on reasonably available data and is also subject to necessary judgement calls by management given data supply problems that currently exist in the cryptocurrency sector.
