The
Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities or passed upon the adequacy of this prospectus. Any
representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

GraniteShares
Funds are advised by GraniteShares Advisors LLC.

The
Funds seek daily inverse or leveraged investment results and are intended to be used as short-term trading vehicles. Each Fund with “Long”
in its name attempts to provide daily investment results that correspond to the respective long leveraged multiple of the performance
of an underlying stock (each a Leveraged Long Fund). Each Fund with “Short” in its name attempts to provide daily investment
results that correspond to the inverse (or opposite) multiple of the performance of an underlying stock (each an Inverse Fund).

The
Funds are not intended to be used by, and are not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios.
The Funds are very different from most mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. Investors should note that:

(1)
The Leveraged Long Funds pursue daily leveraged investment objectives, which means that the Funds are riskier than alternatives that
do not use leverage because the Funds magnify the daily performance of their underlying stock.

(2)
The Inverse Funds pursue a daily investment objective that is a multiple inverse to the daily performance of their underlying stock,
a result opposite of most mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.

(3)
Seeking to replicate daily performances of an underlying stock means that the return of a Fund for a period longer than a full trading
day will be the product of a series of daily returns for each trading day during the relevant period.

As
a consequence, especially in periods of market volatility, the volatility of the underlying stock may affect a Fund’s return as
much as, or more than, the return of the underlying stock. Further, the return for investors that invest for periods less than a full
trading day is likely to be different from an underlying stock’s performance for the full trading day. During periods of high volatility,
the Funds may not perform as expected and the Funds may have losses when an investor may have expected gains if the Funds are held for
a period that is different than one trading day.

The
Funds are not suitable for all investors. The Funds are designed to be utilized only by sophisticated investors, such as traders and
active investors employing dynamic strategies. Investors in the Funds should:

    (a)
    understand
    the risks associated with the use of inverse strategies and leverage;

    (b)
    understand
    the consequences of seeking daily inverse and leveraged investment results;

    (c)
    for
    an Inverse Fund, understand the risk of shorting; and

    (d)
    intend
    to actively monitor and manage their investments.

Investors
who do not understand the Funds, or do not intend to actively manage their funds and monitor their investments, should not buy the Funds.

There
is no assurance that any Fund will achieve its investment objective and an investment in a Fund could lose money. No single Fund is a
complete investment program.

For
the Leveraged Long Funds with a 2-time leverage exposure, if the underlying stock drops by more than 50% on a given trading day, the
Fund’s investors could lose all of their money.  For the Inverse Funds with a 2-time
inverse exposure, if the underlying stock increases by more than 50% on a given trading day, the Fund’s investors could lose all
of their money.

GraniteShares
2X Long ADBE Daily ETF – Summary

Ticker: ADBL

Important
Information Regarding the Fund

The
GraniteShares 2x Long ADBE Daily ETF (the “Fund”) seeks daily investment results of 2 times (200%) the daily percentage change
of the performance of the common stock of Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ: ADBE) (the “Underlying Stock”). Because the Fund seeks daily
leverage investment results it is very different from most other exchange-traded funds. It is also riskier than alternatives that do
not use leverage. The return for investors that invest for periods longer or shorter than a trading day should not be expected to be
200% of the performance of the Underlying Stock for the period. The return of the Fund for a period longer than a trading day will be
the result of each trading day’s compounded return over the period, which will very likely differ from 200% the return of the Underlying
Stock for that period. Longer holding periods, higher volatility of the Underlying Stock and leverage increase the impact of compounding
on an investor’s returns. During periods of higher underlying stock volatility, the volatility of the Underlying Stock may affect
the Fund’s return as much as, or more than, the return of the Underlying Stock.

The
Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential
consequences of seeking daily leveraged (2X) investment results, understand the risks associated with the use of leverage and are willing
to monitor their portfolios frequently. The Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do not intend
to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if the Underlying Stock’s
performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the Underlying Stock’s performance increases over
a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the full principal value of his/her investment within a single day.

Investment
Objective

The
Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 2 times (200%) the daily percentage change of the common stock of Adobe
Inc. (NASDAQ: ADBE).

    expense that is not included in the above fee table and is not reflected in the expense example. The total indirect cost of investing
    in swaps, including the embedded cost of the swap and the operating expenses of the referenced assets, is estimated to be 1.50% for
    the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.

    (3)
    GraniteShares
    Advisors LLC has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or pay for operating expenses of the Fund to ensure that total annual
    fund operating expenses (exclusive of any (i) interest, (ii) brokerage fees and commission, (iii) acquired fund fees and expenses,
    (iv) fees and expenses associated with instruments in other collective investment vehicles or derivative instruments (including for
    example options and swap fees and expenses), (v) interest and dividend expense on short sales, (vi) taxes, (vii) other fees related
    to underlying investments (such as option fees and expenses or swap fees and expenses), (viii) expenses incurred in connection with
    any merger or reorganization or (ix) extraordinary expenses such as litigation) will not exceed 1.50%. This agreement is effective
    until December 31, 2025, and it may be terminated before that date only by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. GraniteShares Advisors
    LLC may request recoupment of previously waived fees and paid expenses from the Fund for three years from the date such fees and
    expenses were waived or paid, if such reimbursement will not cause the Fund’s total expense ratio to exceed the expense limitation
    in place at the time of the waiver and/or expense payment and the expense limitation in place at the time of the recoupment.
