<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">Inflows into the U.S. Global Jets ETF (JETS) kept pace during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, as it appears investors continued to bet that vaccine distributions would help commercial air travel demand recover to pre-pandemic levels sooner rather than later.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">JETS, a quant-based, smart-beta 2.0 ETF that invests in global carriers as well as aircraft manufacturers and airport services companies, attracted healthy inflows, bringing its total AUM to $4.0 billion, up 38% QoQ and more than 1,200% YoY. Trading volume during the quarter totaled about 412 million shares, an increase of about 14% QoQ and almost 735% YoY.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">&#8220;As of the end of April, 43% of American adults had received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, while 30% were fully vaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This is incredibly positive news for the commercial airline industry, especially when coupled with new CDC guidance saying fully vaccinated people can now travel at low risk to themselves,&#8221; comments Company CEO and Chief Investment Officer Frank Holmes. &#8220;Domestic leisure travel is roaring back, and several carriers have already announced new routes to popular vacation destinations, many of them to become available this summer. The next leg of recovery is Europe, which is seeking to reopen its borders to vaccinated tourists this summer, followed by Asia and Latin America, which currently lag the rest of the world in terms of vaccine distribution.&#8221;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">&#8220;Contributing to our bullishness is the strong rebound in global manufacturing activity. In April, the JPMorgan Global Manufacturing Purchasing Manager&#8217;s Index (PMI), a leading indicator of economic growth, registered 55.8, its best reading since April 2010. The PMIs for the U.S. and Eurozone both hit record highs of 60.5 and 62.9, respectively, suggesting the unprecedented levels of monetary and fiscal stimulus have succeeded in propping up their economies.&#8221;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><b>Branding JETS Globally </b></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">In April, JETS became listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange (BMV), expanding the Company&#8217;s global footprint and allowing investors in Mexico to participate. The BMV is the second largest stock exchange in Latin America, with a total market capitalization of over $530 billion.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">&#8220;I believe JETS will be well received by Mexican investors. Our quant approach to security selection has resulted in a number of Latin American airlines and airports joining the ETF, including Brazil&#8217;s GOL Airlines and Azul Airlines and Mexico&#8217;s Volaris and Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste,&#8221; Mr. Holmes continues. &#8220;And our timing couldn&#8217;t have been better. Airports in Mexico serving popular travel destinations reported record traffic in March&#8212;greater, even, than traffic seen in the same month in 2019. Cancun International Airport, for instance, said arrivals finished the month at nearly 700,000, a new record for March and an increase of 5% from March 2019. Among the airports that also reported encouraging travel numbers compared to two years ago were Ciudad Juarez, Hermosillo, La Paz and Mochis.&#8221;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">The Company receives a unitary management fee of 0.60% of average net assets in JETS and the Company&#8217;s other ETF, the U.S. Global GO GOLD and Precious Metal Miners ETF (GOAU), and it has agreed to bear all expenses of the ETFs. The management fee is the same as the ETFs&#8217; gross expense ratio.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">Base management fees, which make up part of the company&#8217;s advisory fees, increased $5.2 million during the quarter ended March 2021 compared to the same quarter last year, due mainly to an increase in JETS&#8217; average AUM.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;"><b>Redeploying Capital Back into HIVE Blockchain Technologies, the Company</b>&#8217;<b>s Exposure to the Crypto Boom</b></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company purchased convertible securities of HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (&#8220;HIVE&#8221;), a company that is headquartered and traded in Canada with cryptocurrency mining facilities in Iceland, Sweden and Canada. The convertible securities are comprised of 8.0% interest-bearing unsecured convertible debentures, with a principal amount of $14.3 million, at March 31, 2021, maturing in January 2026, and 5 million common share purchase warrants in the capital of HIVE. The principal amount of each debenture is convertible into common shares in the capital of HIVE at a conversion rate of $2.34. Each whole warrant, expiring in January 2024, entitles the Company to acquire one common share at a price of CAD$3.00. At March 31, the investments were valued at approximately $29.1 million at March 31, 2021. Converting the debentures and warrants into HIVE shares would result in the Company acquiring approximately 11 million shares of HIVE, which is approximately 0.7 of a share of HIVE for every one share of GROW.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">&#8220;By repositioning our investment in HIVE, we seek to continue participating in the crypto-mining ecosystem while lowering the volatility of our investment portfolio,&#8221; Mr. Holmes explains. &#8220;Two years ago, a change was made to how we record unrealized gains and losses of certain corporate investments, such that our equity position in HIVE often swung our net income dramatically quarter-to-quarter. Obviously, debt securities such as convertible debentures come with their own risks, but historically they&#8217;ve been less volatile than stocks.</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">&#8220;It&#8217;s important for investors and traders to be aware that Bitcoin and Ethereum remain extremely volatile, which is reflected in HIVE&#8217;s stock price since it mines both coins. HIVE was the most liquid stock on the combined TSX Venture Exchange (TSX.V) and Canadian Alternative Trading Systems (ATS) in 2020, and yet it&#8217;s still more volatile than a highly disruptive mega-cap stock like Tesla. HIVE maintains a &#8216;HODL&#8217; strategy, meaning it holds the newly-minted coins it mines in the hopes of realizing higher returns, rather than immediately selling them.&#8221;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt;">Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), may trade at a discount or premium to NAV and are not individually redeemed from the funds. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Stock markets can be volatile and share prices can fluctuate in response to sector-related and other risks as described in the fund prospectus. Foreign and emerging market investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuation and less public disclosure, as well as economic and political risk. Companies in the consumer discretionary sector are subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the performance of domestic and international economies, interest rate changes, increased competition and consumer confidence. Gold, precious metals, and precious minerals funds may be susceptible to adverse economic, political or regulatory developments due to concentrating in a single theme. The prices of gold, precious metals, and precious minerals are subject to substantial price fluctuations over short periods of time and may be affected by unpredicted international monetary and political policies. We suggest investing no more than 5% to 10% of your portfolio in these sectors. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting actions to control or slow the spread has had a significant detrimental effect on the global and domestic economies, financial markets and industries, including airlines. U.S. Global Investors continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19, but it is too early to determine the full impact this virus may have on commercial aviation. Should this emerging macro-economic risk continue for an extended period, there could be an adverse material financial impact to the U.S. Global Jets ETF.</p>
