Financial Stability Report
April 25, 2025-A summary of the developments in the four broad categories of vulnerabilities since the
November 2024 Financial Stability Report (FSR) is as follows:
1. Asset valuations. Asset valuations are notable. Prior to early April's market volatility, the ratio of equity prices to earnings had remained near the high end of its historical range and
an estimate of the equity premium-the compensation for risk in equity markets-remained well below average.
Even after recent declines in equity prices, prices remained high relative
to analysts' earnings forecasts, which adjust more slowly than market prices.
Treasury yields across maturities remained at the higher end of their levels since 2008. Spreads between yields on corporate bonds and those on comparable-maturity Treasury securities were at moderate levels compared to their history, despite recent increases. Liquidity across many financial markets remained low through the end of March and deteriorated further in April, but market functioning was generally orderly. In U.S. property markets, home prices remained elevated, and the ratio of house prices to rents continued to be near the highest levels on record.

Tuttle Capital Self Defense Index ETF to Liquidate
April 22, 2025--The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Tuttle Capital Self Defense Index ETF (the "Fund") approved the liquidation and dissolution of the Fund on or about May 30, 2025 (the "Liquidation Date").
Tuttle Capital Management, LLC (the "Adviser") recommended that the Board approve the liquidation due to the Fund's limited prospect for meaningful future asset growth, the ongoing operational costs associated with managing the Fund, and the Adviser's desire to no longer subsidize expenses. According to the fund manager Matthew Tuttle, "As much as I still love the concept of self defense stocks and think they should make up part of an investor's portfolio, I don't see the demand for this product from the marketplace". As a result, the Board of Trustees concluded that liquidating and closing the Fund would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
