*Cumulative return is the aggregate amount that an investment has gained or lost over time. Annualized Return is the average return gained or lost
by an investment each year over a given time period.
The performance data quoted 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.
ETF shares are not redeemable with the issuing fund other than in large Creation Unit aggregations. Instead, investors must buy or sell ETF Shares in the
secondary market with the assistance of a stockbroker. In doing so, the investor may incur brokerage commissions and may pay more than net asset
value when buying and receive less than net asset value when selling. The NAV of the Fund’s shares is calculated each day the national securities
exchanges are open for trading as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (the “NAV
Calculation Time”). Shares are bought and sold at market price not NAV. Closing price returns are based on the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 pm
Eastern Time (when NAV is normally determined).
An active secondary market for the Fund’s shares may not exist. Although the Fund’s shares will be listed on an exchange, subject to notice of issuance, it
is possible that an active trading market may not develop or be maintained. There is no guarantee that distributions will be paid.

Carefully consider the Funds' investment objectives, risk factors, charges and expenses before investing. This and
additional information can be found in the Funds' prospectus, which may be obtained by visiting www.kraneshares.com
Read the prospectus carefully before investing.
Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its stated objectives. The Funds
focus their investments primarily with Chinese issuers and issuers with economic ties to China. The Funds are subject to political, social or
economic instability within China which may cause a decline in value. Fluctuations in currency of foreign countries may have an adverse effect
on domestic currency values. Emerging markets involve heightened risk related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower
trading volume. Current and future holdings are subject to risk.
The KraneShares E Fund China Commercial Paper ETF is subject to interest rate risk, which is the chance that bonds will decline in value as
interest rates rise. It is also subject to income risk, call risk, credit risk, and Chinese credit rating risks. The components of the securities held
by the Fund will be rated by Chinese credit rating agencies, which may use different criteria and methodology than U.S. entities or international
credit rating agencies. The Fund may invest in high yield and unrated securities, whose prices are generally more sensitive to adverse economic
changes. As such, their prices may be more volatile. The Fund is subject to industry concentration risk and is nondiversified. The KraneShares E
Fund China Commercial paper ETF invests in sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt. Investments in sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt securities
involve special risks, including the availability of sufficient foreign exchange on the date a payment is due, the relative size of the debt service
burden to the economy as a whole, and the government debtor’s policy towards the International Monetary Fund and the political constraints to
which a government debtor may be subject. In order to qualify for the favorable tax treatment generally available to regulated investment
companies, the Fund must satisfy certain income and asset diversification requirements each year. If the Fund were to fail to qualify as a
regulated investment company, it would be taxed in the same manner as an ordinary corporation, and distributions to its shareholders would
not be deductible by the Fund in computing its taxable income. Narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. Internet
companies are subject to rapid changes in technology, worldwide competition, rapid obsolescence of products and services, loss of patent
protections, evolving industry standards and frequent new product productions. Such changes may have an adverse impact on performance.
The KraneShares ETFs are distributed by SEI Investments Distribution Company, which is not affiliated with Krane Funds Advisors, LLC, the
Investment Adviser for the Fund.
