Built on decades of research and experience, NEOS ETFs aim to empower investors with portfolio building blocks that provide monthly income, tax efficiency, and diversification through data-driven options-based ETFs. The performance data quoted above represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above. Standardized performance current to the most recent month-end and quarter-end can be obtained by visiting any of the corresponding ETF funds pages by clicking on their ticker: SPYI | QQQI | IWMI | QQQH | BTCI | HYBI | BNDI | CSHI | TLTI | IYRI | SPYH or calling 866.498.5677. ETF Expense Ratios: BTCI = 0.98% | IAUI = 0.78% | SPYI, QQQI, SPYH, IWMI, QQQH, HYBI, IYRI = 0.68% | BNDI, TLTI = 0.58% | CSHI = 0.38% *The Distribution Rate is the annual yield an investor would receive if the most recently declared distribution, which includes option income, remained the same going forward. The Distribution Rate is calculated by multiplying an ETF's Distribution per Share by twelve (12), and dividing the resulting amount by the ETF's most recent NAV. The Distribution Rate represents a single distribution from the ETF and does not represent its total return. Distributions are not guaranteed. There is no guarantee the NEOS ETFs will make monthly distributions, and the amounts may fluctuate from month to month. Distributions made by the Funds have been classified as a return of capital and may be comprised of option premiums, dividends, capital gains, and interest payments. As of the most recent distributions by the funds, the distribution composition for each fund was estimated to be return of capital in the following amounts. CSHI = 39%, BNDI = 41%, IWMI = 79%, SPYI = 94%, QQQI = 98%, HYBI = 27%, QQQH = 97%, BTCI = 95%, TLTI = 53%, IYRI = 59%, SPYH = 92%. Please see the 19a-1 notices for a more comprehensive breakdown of monthly distributions on each Fund's page. **30-day SEC Yield is calculation based on a formula mandated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that calculates a fund's hypothetical annualized income, as a percentage of its assets. A security's income, for the purposes of this calculation, is based on the current market yield to maturity (in the case of bonds) or projected dividend yield (for stocks) of the fund's holdings over a trailing 30-day period. This hypothetical income will differ (at times, significantly) from the fund's actual experience; as a result, income distributions from the fund may be higher or lower than implied by the SEC yield. It is important to note that 30-Day SEC Yield does not include income received from option selling. The data reflects the most recent month-end (5/31/2025). Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) before investing. To obtain an ETF's prospectus containing this and other important information, please call (866) 498-5677 or view/download a prospectus by clicking on the corresponding ETF ticker: SPYI | QQQI | IWMI | QQQH | BTCI | HYBI | BNDI | CSHI | TLTI | IYRI | SPYH. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest. An investment in NEOS ETFs involves risk, including possible loss of principal. The equity securities purchased by the Funds may involve large price swings and potential for loss. Investments in smaller companies typically exhibit higher volatility. Investors in the ETFs should be willing to accept a high degree of volatility in the price of fund shares and the possibility of significant losses. The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. The use of leverage by the Fund, such as borrowing money to purchase securities or the use of options, will cause the Fund to incur additional expenses and magnify the Fund's gains or losses. The earnings and prospects of small and medium-sized companies are more volatile than larger companies and may experience higher failure rates than larger companies. Small and medium sized companies normally have a lower trading volume than larger companies, which may tend to make their market price fall more disproportionately than larger companies in response to selling pressures and may have limited markets, product lines, or financial resources and lack management experience. The funds are new with a limited operating history. The information on this website does not constitute investment advice or a recommendation of any products, strategies, or services.

IWMI partners ECOWAS, Sierra Leone to boost regional water security
The International Water Management Institute (IWMI), a global research-for-development organisation focused on solving water challenges in developing countries, has announced two major partnerships aimed at enhancing water security, climate resilience, and policy innovation across West Africa and the Sahel. A five-year agreement was signed with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commission to strengthen the governance of transboundary water resources across member states. The partnership will support the co-development of digital tools for drought and flood forecasting, facilitate knowledge and data exchange through regional platforms, and promote biodiversity conservation and resilience within agrifood systems. IWMI also formalised a new collaboration with Sierra Leone's National Water Resources Management Agency (NWRMA), centred on research, innovation, and capacity building for sustainable water and land management. The agreement with NWRMA, also spanning five years, will support the development of early warning systems, knowledge-sharing platforms, inclusive governance structures, and climate-smart tools to bolster water security in the country. The memoranda of understanding (MoUs) were signed on 19 May 2025 in Accra, Ghana, and are seen as a significant step towards advancing regional cooperation on water and climate issues. 'These partnerships signal a shared regional commitment to science-driven, inclusive water governance. By aligning efforts, we can tackle climate risks, advance food and water security, and drive meaningful impact across the region,' said Olufunke Cofie, IWMI's Africa Director for Research Impact. Director of the ECOWAS Water Resources Management Centre, Kouassi Kouakou Alexis, also commended the collaboration, saying, 'It is great for us to have this kind of support from IWMI to do our best for the ECOWAS community. Let us continue to work together to have a concrete impact on our populations through water management in the region.' Similarly, the Director of Hydrological Services at NWRMA, Mohamed Sahr E. Juanah, remarked, 'Sierra Leone has many water challenges and when looking for partnerships to solve this problem, there is no better organisation than IWMI. This is just the start of a long journey, however, with unity and determination we believe we can achieve our goals.' The signing ceremony was attended by IWMI's management and members of its Board of Governors, alongside representatives from ECOWAS, NWRMA, and other regional stakeholders committed to enhancing climate resilience and sustainable water management. The partnerships align with IWMI's West and Central Africa Roadmap 2024–2030, which prioritises resilient agrifood systems, transboundary water governance, climate-risk mitigation, digital innovation, water infrastructure, circular economy principles, gender equality, social inclusion, and capacity building. These initiatives are expected to harness earth observation technologies, inclusive research, and regional cooperation to address urgent challenges such as water scarcity, climate variability, and rural poverty.

New climate plan launched to boost resilience in Tamil Nadu's drought and flood-prone districts
CGIAR, a global network of agricultural research centres, has launched a new Climate Action Plan for Tamil Nadu to help communities better manage climate risks, especially in districts that frequently experience droughts or floods. At the launch in Chennai on Friday, Giriraj Amarnath, Principal Researcher, Disaster Risk Management and Climate Resilience Research, IWMI, said that drought-prone districts such as Ramanathapuram, Sivagangai, and Virudhunagar often suffer from water scarcity, long dry spells, and agricultural distress. The Climate Action Plan will align with the ongoing Tamil Nadu Drought Mitigation Project to address these challenges. On the other hand, areas such as Chennai, Cuddalore, Nagapattinam, Thanjavur, Tiruvarur, and Tirunelveli are increasingly vulnerable to river and urban flooding, particularly during the Northeast monsoon. To tackle these issues, the programme will introduce integrated climate risk management approaches, provide real-time weather and farming guidance through digital platforms, and promote anticipatory actions to prepare for extreme weather events, Mr. Amarnath said. As part of the next steps, CGIAR, formerly known as Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research, will identify pilot sites and focus areas such as digital advisory services, drought management, and community-led adaptation initiatives. The plan is expected to benefit tens of thousands of farmers by giving them access to digital climate advisories and climate-smart agriculture solutions. 'Water is at the heart of tackling climate challenges, as it has a direct impact on the food system. We are looking to improve water management at different levels, from watersheds to individual farms. The programme will consider how much nutrition, crop yield, and income are generated per unit of water, helping to promote more efficient and sustainable farming in water-scarce regions,' he added. At the launch event, Sudha Ramen, Member Secretary, Tamil Nadu State Planning Commission said that better research, and access to clear, visual data would allow local administrators to make informed decisions and take more effective actions. Alok Sikka, IWMI's Country Representative for India and Bangladesh, added that the Climate Action Plan would be implemented in close collaboration with departments such as Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare, Water Resources, Disaster Management, and Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, along with the Institute for Water Studies in Chennai.
