Insights
The rebranding of VCAR to TESL represents a strategic move to enhance market clarity, but the underlying active management strategy is what makes this ETF noteworthy. The fund's three-tiered exposure system (150%, 100% and 80%) coupled with an options overlay creates a sophisticated approach to Tesla exposure that goes beyond simple stock ownership.
The implementation of momentum analysis and AI-driven sentiment measures showcases an evolution in ETF management, particularly for single-stock exposure. This dynamic allocation strategy could prove valuable given Tesla's historical volatility - the stock has shown extreme price movements, with beta readings consistently above market averages.
For investors seeking Tesla exposure, TESL's built-in risk management through options hedging and variable exposure levels offers a potentially more balanced approach than direct stock ownership. However, the active management aspect likely comes with higher expense ratios compared to standard ETFs, which should be factored into investment decisions.
In simple terms: Think of this ETF as a Tesla investment with built-in guardrails - when the road looks smooth, it drives faster (150% exposure), when it's bumpy, it slows down (80% exposure) and it has special insurance (options) to protect against crashes.
Fund is actively managed to capture potential of Tesla’s stock price movements with options overlay to manage downside risk
TESL, which had previously traded with the ticker VCAR, utilizes a dynamic active management approach to capture the potential of Tesla’s stock price movements. The strategy involves a combination of momentum analysis to identify trends in Tesla’s stock price as well as AI-driven sentiment measures to identify short-term opportunities or risks related to Tesla’s business activities. The strategy then adjusts the fund’s exposure to Tesla to one of three strategic postures:
-
Aggressive: providing
150% exposure to Tesla when momentum is strong; -
Bullish: providing
100% exposure during steady upward trends; and -
Neutral: providing
80% exposure when conditions are uncertain.
This approach is designed to allow the fund to capture significant potential upside while limiting downside exposure during volatile periods. Simplify also overlays an options strategy on top of the fund’s portfolio to hedge against downside market risks.
“This new ticker better aligns with the fund’s underlying strategy of providing dynamic exposure to Tesla’s stock price movements while implementing an advanced options overlay strategy to manage downside risks,” said David Berns, CIO and Co-Founder of Simplify. “Already one of the more widely followed and held stocks, TSLA is poised to experience even more scrutiny and volatility in the months and years to come, making the TESL approach potentially appealing to investors who may be seeking a more active way to gain exposure to the company.”

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) before investing.

Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.
An investment in the fund involves risk, including possible loss of principal.
The fund is actively-managed and is subject to the risk that the strategy may not produce the intended results. The Fund is non-diversified meaning it may focus more of its assets in a limited number of investments especially in the robocar disruption and technology sector and may be more likely to be adversely affected by any negative events affecting a particular security or sector than a more diversified fund.
Companies that are developing robocar and autonomous driving technologies that seek to disrupt or displace established technology institutions generally face fierce competition. Robocar companies may not be able to currently derive any revenue or capitalize on their disruptive technologies if they face political and/or legal attacks from competitors, industry groups or governments. Laws generally vary by country, creating challenges to achieving scale. Additionally, artificial intelligence, electric energy and autonomous driving companies may be adversely impacted by potential rapid product obsolescence, cybersecurity attacks, increased regulatory oversight and disruptions in the technology they depend on.
Small and medium sized companies normally have a lower trading volume than larger companies, which may tend to make their market price fall more disproportionately than larger companies. In addition, they may have limited markets, product lines or financial resources and lack management experience. The Fund’s investments in foreign securities can be volatile or less liquid and may lose value due to currency fluctuation, political, economic and geographic events affecting a foreign issuer or market.
Options are a derivative instrument which involves risks different from or possibly greater than investing directly in other investments. These risks include (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset. Utilizing an option overlay strategy involves the risk that as the buyer of a put or call option, the Fund risks losing the entire premium invested in the option if the Fund does not exercise the option. While the option overlay is intended to improve the Fund’s performance, there is no guarantee that it will do so.
