WLDR Simplify Affinity World Leaders Equity ETF
Morningstar RatingTM Close
Five‑star rating for the overall, three‑year, and five‑year periods in the Morningstar U.S. Fund Global Large‑Stock Value category as of March 31, 2026. Ratings are based on risk‑adjusted returns among 139 funds for the overall and three‑year periods, and 132 funds for the five‑year period.
The Simplify Affinity World Leaders Equity ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the FTSE StarMine Affinity World Leaders Index (the “Index”).
The Fund seeks to passively replicate the Index. The Index consists of equity securities issued and traded in the US as well as international countries. The Index is expected to consist of approximately 150 to 250 stocks of companies located in the U.S. and in at least three countries outside of the U.S., and may invest in up to 20 countries. The Index will be significantly invested in the securities of international companies in addition to securities of U.S. companies. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities included in the Index. The Fund may also invest in American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) (collectively “Depositary Receipts”) based on the securities in the Index.
Constituents of the Index are characterized by strong global footprint (measured by market capitalization), rank high on measures of earnings quality, demonstrate improving fundamentals (positive earnings revisions on earnings estimates, revenue estimates, price targets, and analyst recommendations), show stock price momentum, and trade at relatively attractive valuations (based on a ranking from various trading multiples, which are, generally speaking, a ratio of the security’s market price to financial or accounting metrics such as earnings, book value, etc., as well as a dividend discount model, which attempts to determine the current or future value of a security based in part on its dividend payments).
Fund Overview
As of 06/30/2026
Distribution Rate Close
Distribution rate calculation employs the most recent distribution, and multiplies the payment by 12 (monthly) or 4 (quarterly) to get an annualized total. The annualized total is then divided by the most recent net asset value (NAV) to determine the distribution rate.The Distribution Rate is the annual rate 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.

Growth of $10,000
The growth of $10,000 chart reflects a hypothetical investment and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund expenses, including management fees and other expenses were deducted. Results are not indicative of future performance.
The above frequency distribution chart presents information about the difference between the daily market price for shares of the Fund and the Fund's reported Net Asset Value. The amount that the Fund's market price is above the reported NAV is called the premium. The amount that the Fund's market price is below the reported NAV is called the discount. The market price is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the listing exchange, as of the time that the Fund's NAV is calculated (usually 4:00 p.m. EST). The horizontal axis of the chart shows the premium or discount expressed in basis points. The vertical axis indicates the number of trading days in the period covered by the chart. Each bar in the chart shows the number of trading days in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated.
