Every major market cycle has a "you had to be there" trade. From the early Internet to the recent AI boom, being early to a technological paradigm shift has often rewarded the forward-thinking investor.
Today, I believe we may be looking at another potential shift—one that many investors are still hesitant to take seriously: Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).
This is no longer just a topic for fringe speculation. In the last two years alone, we have seen House Oversight hearings regarding UAP programs and the passing of the UAP Transparency Act, which mandates greater disclosure of government records.
The Investment Case: H.E.A.T.
I view markets through my H.E.A.T. framework—looking for Hedges, Edges, Asymmetry, and Themes.
The "UAP Disclosure" theme represents what I consider a classic asymmetric opportunity. The question isn't "Do you believe?" The question for investors is: "What are the consequences if the government confirms it possesses non-human technology?".
We believe such a disclosure could potentially trigger a capital rotation into specific sectors. To help investors position themselves for this possibility, we have launched the Tuttle Capital UFO Disclosure ETF (UFOD).
How UFOD Works
UFOD takes a sober, analytical approach to this theme. It is not a bet on "stories," but a diversified portfolio of companies that we believe are positioned to lead in a post-disclosure world. The Fund focuses on three core sectors:
Aerospace & Defense: Companies likely to manage new information and technology.
Advanced Materials: Innovators in next-generation material science.
Data & Energy: The infrastructure required to power and analyze new frontiers.
The "What If" Trade
We designed UFOD to answer the question: "What if they're right?".
If the skepticism holds, UFOD offers thematic exposure to robust defense and technology sectors. But if the global landscape shifts toward disclosure, we believe this strategy offers a unique way to capture the potential upside of a new technological era.

Principal Risks
As with all funds, a shareholder is subject to the risk that his or her investment could lose money. The Fund is not a complete investment program and is designed for inclusion in a diversified investment portfolio. The principal risks affecting shareholders’ investments in the Fund are set forth below. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any government agency. The principal risks described herein pertain to direct risks of making an investment in the Fund and/or risks of the issuers in which the Fund invests.
Speculative Nature Risk. Government confirmation or denial of advanced alien technology is uncertain, and rumored breakthroughs might never materialize. This entire theme is highly speculative and subject to rumor cycles.
Equity Securities Risk. Since it purchases equity securities, the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. Historically, the equity markets have moved in cycles, and the value of the Fund’s equity securities may fluctuate from day to day. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by such companies may suffer a decline in response. These factors contribute to price volatility, which is a principal risk of investing in the Fund.
Other Investment Companies Risk. To the extent that the Fund invests in other ETFs or investment companies, the value of an investment in the Fund is based on the performance of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests and the allocation of its assets among those ETFs or investment companies. The underlying ETFs and investment companies may change their investment goals, policies or practices and there can be no assurance that the underlying ETFs or investment companies will achieve their respective investment goals. Because the Fund invests in ETFs and other investment companies, shareholders indirectly bear a proportionate share of the expenses charged by the underlying funds in which it invests which impacts the Fund’s performance. The principal risks of an investment in the Fund include the principal risks of investing in the underlying ETFs and investment companies.
The Fund is exposed to the risks of the underlying ETFs and investment companies in which it invests in direct proportion to the amount of assets the Fund allocates to each underlying fund. One underlying fund may buy the same security that another underlying fund is selling. You would indirectly bear the costs of both trades. In addition, you may receive taxable gains from portfolio transactions by the underlying funds, as well as taxable gains from the Fund’s transactions in= shares of the underlying funds. The Fund’s ability to achieve its investment goal depends, in part, upon the- Adviser’s skill in selecting an optimal mix of underlying funds.
Sector Risk. To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in particular sectors of the economy, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors.
Technology Sector Risk. The market prices of technology-related securities tend to exhibit a greater degree of market risk and sharp price fluctuations than other types of securities. These securities may fall in and out of favor with investors rapidly, which may cause sudden selling and dramatically lower market prices. Technology securities may be affected by intense competition, obsolescence of existing technology, general economic conditions and government regulation and may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Technology companies may experience dramatic and often unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel. These companies are also heavily dependent on patent and intellectual property rights, the loss or impairment of which may adversely impact a company’s profitability. A small number of companies represent a large portion of the technology industry. In addition, a rising interest rate environment tends to negatively affect technology companies, those technology companies seeking to finance expansion would have increased borrowing costs, which may negatively impact earnings. Technology companies having high market valuations may appear less attractive to investors, which may cause sharp decreases in their market prices.
