The Trust is a series trust formed pursuant to the Delaware Statutory Trust Act and currently includes two separate series. SIT RISING RATE ETF (“RISE”) is the first series of the Trust and is a commodity pool that continuously issues common shares of beneficial interest that may be purchased and sold on the NYSE Arca, Inc. stock exchange (“NYSE Arca”). The second series of the Trust, BREAKWAVE DRY BULK SHIPPING ETF (“BDRY,” and together with RISE, the “Funds”), is also a commodity pool that continuously issues shares of beneficial interest that may be purchased and sold on NYSE Arca. The Funds are managed and controlled by ETF Managers Capital LLC (the “Sponsor”), a Delaware limited liability company. The Sponsor is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as a “commodity pool operator” (“CPO”) and is a member of the National Futures Trading Association (“NFA”). Sit Fixed Income Advisors II, LLC (“Sit”), a subsidiary of Sit Investment Associates, Inc., is registered as a “commodity trading advisor” (“CTA”) with the CFTC and serves as RISE’s commodity trading advisor. Breakwave Advisors, LLC (“Breakwave”) is registered as a CTA with the CFTC and serves as BDRY’s commodity trading advisor. Rise Closure On October 16, 2020, the Sponsor announced that it will close the Sit Rising Rate ETF because of current market conditions and the Fund’s asset size. – See Note 11 (b) to the Interim Combined Financial Statements. RISE commenced investment operations on February 19, 2015. RISE commenced trading on NYSE Arca on February 19, 2015 and trades under the symbol “RISE.” BDRY commenced investment operations on March 22, 2018. BDRY commenced trading on NYSE Arca on March 22, 2018 and trades under the symbol “BDRY.” Sit is paid a fee equal to 0.20% per annum of the value of RISE’s average daily net assets for Sit’s services as the commodity trading advisor to RISE. RISE’s investment objective is to profit from rising interest rates by tracking the performance of a portfolio (the “RISE Benchmark Portfolio”) consisting of exchange traded futures contracts and options on futures on 2, 5 and 10 year U.S. Treasury securities (“Treasury Instruments”) weighted to achieve a targeted negative 10-year average effective portfolio duration (the “Benchmark Component Instruments”). RISE seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in the Benchmark Component Instruments currently constituting the RISE Benchmark Portfolio. The RISE Benchmark Portfolio is maintained by Sit and will be rebalanced, reconstituted, or both, monthly (typically on the 15 th of each month and on the next business day if the 15 th is a holiday, weekend, or other day on which the national exchanges are closed) to maintain a negative 10-year average effective duration. The RISE Benchmark Portfolio and RISE will each maintain a short position in Treasury Instruments. RISE does not use futures contracts or options to obtain leveraged investment results. RISE will not invest in swaps or other over the counter derivative instruments. The weighting of the Treasury Instruments constituting the Benchmark Component Instruments will be based on each maturity’s duration contribution. The expected range for the duration weighted percentage of the 2 year and 5 year maturity Treasury Instruments will be from 30% to 70%. The expected range for the duration weighted percentage of the 10-year maturity Treasury Instruments will be from 5% to 25%. The relative weightings of the Benchmark Component Instruments will be shifted between maturities when there are material changes in the shape of the yield curve, for example, if the Federal Reserve began raising short term interest rates more than long term interest rates. In such an instance, Sit, which maintains the RISE Benchmark Portfolio, will elect to increase the weightings of the 2 year and reduce the weighting in the 10-year maturity. Conversely, Sit will do the opposite if the Federal Reserve began raising long term interest rates more than short term interest rates. Reconstitution and rebalancing each will occur monthly, on the 15th, except for as noted above or if there are radical changes in the yield curve such that effective duration is outside of a range from negative nine to negative 11-year average effective duration, in which case Sit will adjust the maturities of the Treasury Instruments before the next expected monthly reconstitution. 14 The Sponsor anticipates that approximately 5% to 15% of RISE’s assets will be used as payment for or collateral for Treasury Instruments. In order to collateralize its Treasury Instrument positions, RISE will hold such assets, from which it will post margin to its futures commission merchant (“FCM”), SG Americas Securities, LLC, in an amount equal to the margin required by the relevant exchange, and transfer to its FCM any additional amounts that may be separately required by the FCM. When establishing positions in Treasury Instruments, RISE will be required to deposit initial margin with a value of approximately 3% to 10% of the value of each Treasury Instrument position at the time it is established. These margin requirements are subject to change from time to time by the exchange or the FCM. On a daily basis, RISE will be obligated to pay, or entitled to receive, variation margin in an amount equal to the change in the daily settlement level of its Treasury Instruments positions. Any assets not required to be posted as margin with the FCM will be held at RISE’s custodian in cash or cash equivalents, as discussed below. See Note 11(a) to the Interim Combined Financial Statements. The RISE Benchmark Portfolio will be invested in Benchmark Component Instruments and rebalanced, as noted above to maintain a negative average effective portfolio duration of approximately 10 years. Duration is a measure of estimated price sensitivity relative to changes in interest rates. Portfolios with longer durations are typically more sensitive to changes in interest rates. For example, if interest rates rise by 1%, the market value of a security with an effective duration of 5 years would decrease by 5%, with all other factors being constant, and likewise the market value of a security with an effective duration of negative 5 years would increase by 5%, with all other factors being constant. The correlation between duration and price sensitivity is greater for securities rated investment-grade than it is for securities rated below investment-grade. Duration estimates are based on assumptions by Sit and are subject to a number of limitations. Effective duration is calculated based on historical price changes of U.S. Treasuries and Treasury Instruments held by the RISE Benchmark Portfolio, and therefore is a more accurate estimate of price sensitivity provided interest rates remain within their historical range. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. The risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. When RISE purchases an option that expires “out of the money,” RISE will realize a loss. RISE may not be able to invest its assets in futures and options contracts having an aggregate notional amount exactly equal to that which is required to achieve a negative 10-year average effective duration. For example, as standardized contracts, U.S. Treasury futures contracts are denominated in specific dollar amounts, and RISE’s NAV and the proceeds from the sale of a Creation Basket are unlikely to be an exact multiple of the amounts of those contracts. As a result, in such circumstances, RISE may be better able to achieve the exact amount of exposure desired through the use of other investments. BDRY’s investment objective is to provide investors with exposure to the daily change in the price of dry bulk freight futures, before expenses and liabilities of BDRY, by tracking the performance of a portfolio (the “BDRY Benchmark Portfolio”, and together with the RISE Benchmark Portfolio, the “Benchmark Portfolios”) consisting of a three-month strip of the nearest calendar quarter of futures contracts on specified indexes (each a “Reference Index”) that measure rates for shipping dry bulk freight (“Freight Futures”). Each Reference Index is published each United Kingdom business day by the London-based Baltic Exchange Ltd. (the “Baltic Exchange”) and measures the charter rate for shipping dry bulk freight in a specific size category of cargo ship – Capesize, Panamax or Supramax. The three Reference Indexes are as follows: ● Capesize : the Capesize 5TC Index; ● Panamax : the Panamax 4TC Index; and ● Supramax : the Supramax 6TC Index. The value of the Capesize 5TC Index is disseminated at 11:00 a.m., London Time and the value of the Panamax 4TC Index and the Supramax 6TC Index each is disseminated at 1:00 p.m., London Time. The Reference Index information disseminated by the Baltic Exchange also includes the components and value of each component in each Reference Index. Such Reference Index information also is widely disseminated by Reuters and/or other major market data vendors. BDRY seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the Freight Futures currently constituting the BDRY Benchmark Portfolio. The BDRY Benchmark Portfolio includes all existing positions to maturity and settles them in cash. During any given calendar quarter, the BDRY Benchmark Portfolio progressively increases its positions to the next calendar quarter three-month strip, thus maintaining constant exposure to the Freight Futures market as positions mature. 15 The BDRY Benchmark Portfolio maintains long-only positions in Freight Futures. The BDRY Benchmark Portfolio includes a combination of Capesize, Panamax and Supramax Freight Futures. More specifically, the BDRY Benchmark Portfolio includes 50% exposure in Capesize Freight Futures contracts, 40% exposure in Panamax Freight Futures contracts and 10% exposure in Supramax Freight Futures contracts. The BDRY Benchmark Portfolio does not include and BDRY does not invest in swaps, non-cleared dry bulk freight forwards or other over-the-counter derivative instruments that are not cleared through exchanges or clearing houses. BDRY may hold exchange-traded options on Freight Futures. The BDRY Benchmark Portfolio is maintained by Breakwave and will be rebalanced annually. The Freight Futures currently constituting the BDRY Benchmark Portfolio, as well as the daily holdings of BDRY are available on BDRY’s website at www.drybulketf.com. When establishing positions in Freight Futures, BDRY will be required to deposit initial margin with a value of approximately 10% to 40% of the notional value of each Freight Futures position at the time it is established. These margin requirements are established and subject to change from time to time by the relevant exchanges, clearing houses or BDRY’s FCM, MacQuarie Futures USA LLC. On a daily basis, BDRY is obligated to pay, or entitled to receive, variation margin in an amount equal to the change in the daily settlement level of its Freight Futures positions. Any assets not required to be posted as margin with the FCM may be held at BDRY’s custodian or remain with the FCM in cash or cash equivalents, as discussed below. BDRY was created to provide investors with a cost-effective and convenient way to gain exposure to daily changes in the price of Freight Futures. BDRY is intended to be used as a diversification opportunity as part of a complete portfolio, not a complete investment program. The Funds will incur certain expenses in connection with their operations. The Funds will hold cash or cash equivalents such as U.S. Treasuries or other high credit quality, short-term fixed-income or similar securities for direct investment or as collateral for the Treasury Instruments and for other liquidity purposes and to meet redemptions that may be necessary on an ongoing basis. These expenses and income from the cash and cash equivalent holdings may cause imperfect correlation between changes in the Funds’ net asset value (“NAV”) and changes in the Benchmark Portfolios, because the Benchmark Portfolios do not reflect expenses or income. The Funds seek to trade their positions prior to maturity; accordingly, natural market forces may cost the Funds while rebalancing. Each time the Funds seek to reconstitute their positions, barring movement in the underlying securities, the futures and option prices may be higher or lower. Such differences in price, barring a movement in the price of the underlying security, will constitute “roll yield” and may inhibit the Funds’ ability to achieve their respective investment objective. Several factors determine the total return from investing in a futures contract position. One factor that impacts the total return that will result from investing in near month futures contracts and “rolling” those contracts forward each month is the price relationship between the current near month contract and the next month contract. The CTA will close existing positions when it determines it would be appropriate to do so and reinvest the proceeds in other positions. Positions may also be closed out to meet orders for redemption baskets. (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of Accounting The accompanying interim combined financial statements of the Funds have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Each Fund qualifies as an investment company for financial reporting purposes under Topic 946 of the Accounting Standard Codification of U.S. GAAP. The accompanying interim combined financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the interim combined financial statements. These interim combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with RISE’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020, RISE’s prospectus dated January 22, 2020 (the “RISE Prospectus”), BDRY’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020 and BDRY’s prospectus dated March 13, 2020 (the “BDRY Prospectus,” and together with the RISE Prospectus, the “Prospectuses”). Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full-year period. 16 (b) Use of Estimates The preparation of the interim combined financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim combined financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. There were no significant estimates used in the preparation of the interim combined financial statements. (c) Cash Cash, when shown in the Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities, represents non-segregated cash with the custodian and does not include short-term investments. (d) Cash Held by Broker Sit is registered as a “commodity trading advisor” and acts as such for RISE. Breakwave is registered as a “commodity trading advisor” and acts as such for BDRY. Each Fund’s arrangement with its respective FCM requires the Fund to meet its variation margin requirement related to the price movements, both positive and negative, on futures contracts held by the Fund by keeping cash on deposit with the Commodity Brokers (as defined below). These amounts are shown as Segregated cash held by broker in the Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds deposit cash or United States Treasury Obligations, as applicable, with their respective FCM subject to the CFTC regulations and various exchange and broker requirements. The combination of the Funds’ deposits with their respective FCM of cash and United States Treasury Obligations, as applicable, and the unrealized gain or loss on open futures contracts (variation margin) represents the Funds’ overall equity in their respective brokerage trading account. The Funds use their cash held by their respective FCM to satisfy variation margin requirements. The Funds earn interest on their cash deposited with their respective FCM and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. (e) Final Net Asset Value for Fiscal Period The calculation time of each Fund’s final net asset value for creation and redemption of Fund shares for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Although the Funds’ shares may continue to trade on secondary markets subsequent to the calculation of the final NAV, the 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time represented the final opportunity to transact in creation or redemption baskets for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Fair value per share is determined at the close of the NYSE Arca. For financial reporting purposes, each Fund values its investment positions based upon the final closing price in their primary markets. Accordingly, the investment valuations in these interim combined financial statements differ from those used in the calculations of the Funds’ final creation/redemption NAVs at September 30, 2020 and 2019. (f) Investment Valuation Short-term investments, excluding U.S. Treasury Bills, are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. U.S. Treasury Bills are valued as determined by an independent pricing service based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Futures and options contracts are valued at the last settled price on the applicable exchange on which that futures and/or options contract trades. 17 (g) Financial Instruments and Fair Value Each Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) fair value measurement and disclosure guidance which requires a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The disclosure requirements establish a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent to the Fund (observable inputs); and (2) the Fund’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The three levels defined by the disclosure requirements hierarchy are as follows: Level I: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level II: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level II inputs include the following: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs). Level III: Unobservable pricing input at the measurement date for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available. In some instances, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest input level that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Fair value measurements also require additional disclosure when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased, as well as when circumstances indicate that a transaction is not orderly. The following tables summarize RISE’s valuation of investments at September 30, 2020 and at June 30, 2019 using the fair value hierarchy: September 30, 2020 (unaudited) Short-Term Investments Purchased Options Contracts Written Options Contracts Futures Contracts Total Level I – Quoted Prices $ 2,953,960 a $ 15,508 a $ (3,121 )b $ (5,423 )c $ 2,960,924 a – Included in Investments in securities in the Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities. b – Included in Options written, at fair value in the Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities. c – Included in Payable on open futures contracts in the Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended June 30, 2020, RISE recognized no transfers from Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. 18 The following table summarizes BDRY’s valuation of investments at September 30, 2020 and at June 30, 2020 using the fair value hierarchy: September 30, 2020 (unaudited) Short-Term Investments Futures Contracts Total Level I – Quoted Prices $ 1,783,683 a $ 1,515,155 b $ 3,298,838 a – Included in Investments in securities in the Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities. b – Included in Payable on open futures contracts in the Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities. June 30, 2020 (audited) Short-Term Investments Futures Contracts Total Level I – Quoted Prices $ 7,986,862 a $ 8,581,555 b $ 16,568,417 a – Included in Investments in securities in the Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities. b – Included in Receivable on open futures contracts in the Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended June 30, 2020, BDRY recognized no transfers from Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. (h) Investment Transactions and Related Income Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. All such transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis, and marked to market daily. Unrealized gain/loss on open futures contracts is reflected in Receivable/Payable on open futures contracts in the Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the change in the unrealized gain/loss between periods is reflected in the Combined Statements of Operations. RISE’s discounts on short-term securities purchased are accreted daily and reflected as Interest Income, when applicable, in the Combined Statements of Operations. BDRY’s interest earned on short-term securities and on cash deposited with MacQuarie Futures USA LLC are accrued daily and reflected as Interest Income, when applicable, in the Combined Statements of Operations. (i) Federal Income Taxes Each Fund is registered as a Delaware statutory trust and is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Funds do not expect to incur U.S. federal income tax liability; rather, each beneficial owner is required to take into account their allocable share of the Funds’ income, gain, loss, deductions and other items for the Funds’ taxable year ending with or within the beneficial owner’s taxable year. 19 Management of the Funds has reviewed the open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns at September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. On an ongoing basis, management will monitor its tax positions taken to determine if adjustments to its conclusions are necessary based on factors including, but not limited to, further implementation of guidance expected from the FASB and on-going analysis of tax law, regulation, and interpretations thereof. The Funds’ federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years after they are filed. (j) Reclassification Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior unaudited interim combined financial statements to conform with the current period presentation. (3) Investments (a) Short-Term Investments The Funds may purchase U.S. Treasury Bills, agency securities, and other high-credit quality short-term fixed income or similar securities with original maturities of one year or less. A portion of these investments may be used as margin for the Funds’ trading in futures contracts. (b) Accounting for Derivative Instruments In seeking to achieve each Fund’s investment objective, the applicable commodity trading advisor uses a mathematical approach to investing. Using this approach, the applicable commodity trading advisor determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that it believes in combination should produce returns consistent with the Fund’s objective. All open derivative positions at September 30, 2020 and at June 30, 2020, as applicable, are disclosed in the Combined Schedules of Investments and the notional value of these open positions relative to the shareholders’ capital of the Funds is generally representative of the notional value of open positions to shareholders’ capital throughout the reporting periods for the Funds. The volume associated with derivative positions varies on a daily basis as the Funds transact in derivative contracts in order to achieve the appropriate exposure, as expressed in notional value, in comparison to shareholders’ capital consistent with the applicable Fund’s investment objective. Following is a description of the derivative instruments used by the Funds during the reporting period, including the primary underlying risk exposures. (c) Futures Contracts The Funds enter into futures contracts to gain exposure to changes in the value of the Benchmark Portfolios. A futures contract obligates the seller to deliver (and the purchaser to accept) the future cash settlement of a specified quantity and type of a treasury futures contract at a specified time and place. The contractual obligations of a buyer or seller of a treasury futures contract may generally be satisfied by making an offsetting sale or purchase of an identical futures contract on the same or linked exchange before the designated date of delivery. 20 Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit and maintain as collateral at least such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is affected. The initial margin is segregated as Cash held by broker, as disclosed in the Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and is restricted as to its use. Pursuant to the futures contract, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the futures contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized gains or losses. The Funds will realize a gain or loss upon closing a futures transaction. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (specifically treasury price risk) and exposure to loss in excess of the amount of variation margin. The face or contract amounts reflect the extent of the total exposure the Funds have in the particular classes of instruments. Additional risks associated with the use of futures contracts include imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the futures contracts and the market value of the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid market for a futures contract. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Funds since futures contracts are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures contracts, guarantees the futures contracts against default.

Additionally, each Fund pays its respective commodity trading advisor a license and service fee (the “CTA fee”). The Sponsor has agreed to waive receipt of the Sponsor Fee for RISE and/or assume RISE’s expenses (excluding brokerage fees, interest expense, and extraordinary expenses) so that RISE’s total annual expenses do not exceed 1.00% (the “RISE Expense Cap”) of average net assets per annum through September 30, 2021. On October 16, 2020, the Sponsor announced that it will close RISE because of current market conditions and the Fund’s asset size. See Note 11 (b) to the Interim Combined Financial Statements. RISE’s CTA fee, calculated daily and paid monthly in arrears, is .20% per annum of average daily net assets. RISE’s Sponsor Fee, calculated daily and paid monthly, is the greater of 0.15% of its average daily net assets, or $75,000, and the fees for Principal Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer services provided to RISE by the Sponsor are $25,000 per annum. BDRY pays the Sponsor an annual Sponsor Fee, monthly in arrears, in an amount calculated as the greater of 0.15% of its average daily net assets, or $125,000. BDRY also paid an annual fee to Breakwave, monthly in arrears, in an amount equal to 1.45% of BDRY’s average daily net assets. Breakwave has agreed to waive its CTA fee to the extent necessary, and the Sponsor has voluntarily agreed to correspondingly assume the remaining expenses of BDRY such that Fund expenses do not exceed an annual rate of 3.50%, excluding brokerage commissions and interest expense, of the value of BDRY’s average daily net assets through September 30, 2021 (the “BDRY Expense Cap,” and together with the RISE Expense Cap, the “Expense Caps”). The assumption of expenses by the Sponsor and waiver of BDRY’s CTA fee are contractual on the part of the Sponsor and Breakwave, respectively. The waiver of BDRY’s CTA fees, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $-0- and $9,652, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as disclosed in the Combined Statements of Operations. The Funds currently accrue their daily expenses up to the applicable Expense Cap, or if less, at accrual estimates established by the Sponsor. At the end of each month, the accrued amount is remitted to the Sponsor as the Sponsor has assumed, and is responsible for the payment of the routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses of the Funds in excess of the Funds’ respective Expense Cap, which in the case of RISE, aggregated $104,370 and $97,153 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and in the case of BDRY, aggregated $-0- and $105,056 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as disclosed in the Combined Statements of Operations. (b) The Administrator, Custodian, Fund Accountant and Transfer Agent Each Fund has appointed U.S. Bank, a national banking association, with its principal office in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as the custodian (the “Custodian”). Its affiliate, U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, is the Fund accountant (“the Fund accountant”) of the Funds, transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) for Fund shares and administrator for the Funds (the “Administrator”). It performs certain administrative and accounting services for the Funds and prepares certain SEC, NFA and CFTC reports on behalf of the Funds. (U.S. Bank and U.S. Bancorp Fund Services are referred to collectively hereinafter as “U.S. Bank”). RISE has agreed to pay U.S. Bank 0.05% of assets under management (“AUM”), with a $50,000 minimum annual fee payable for its administrative, accounting and transfer agent services and 0.01% of AUM, with an annual minimum of $4,800 for custody services. RISE paid U.S. Bank $14,694 and $14,479 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as disclosed in the Combined Statements of Operations. 24 BDRY has agreed to pay U.S. Bank 0.05% of AUM, with a $45,000 minimum annual fee payable for its administrative, accounting and transfer agent services and 0.01% of AUM, with an annual minimum of $4,800 for custody services. BDRY paid U.S. Bank $16,284 and $15,548 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as disclosed in the Combined Statements of Operations. (c) The Distributor The Funds pay ETFMG Financial LLC. (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Sponsor, an annual fee for statutory and wholesaling distribution services and related administrative services equal to the greater of $15,000 or 0.02% of the Funds’ average daily net assets, payable monthly. Pursuant to the respective Marketing Agent Agreement between the Sponsor, each Fund and the Distributor, the Distributor assists the Sponsor and the applicable Fund with certain functions and duties relating to distribution and marketing services to the applicable Fund, including reviewing and approving marketing materials and certain regulatory compliance matters. The Distributor also assists with the processing of creation and redemption orders. RISE incurred $3,858 and $3,906 in distribution and related administrative services for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as disclosed in the Combined Statements of Operations. BDRY incurred $3,959 and $3,977 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as disclosed in the Combined Statements of Operations. RISE also pays the Sponsor an annual fee for wholesale support services equal to 0.1% of RISE’s average daily net assets, payable monthly. BDRY pays the Sponsor an annual fee for wholesale support services of $25,000 plus 0.12% of BDRY’s average daily net assets, payable monthly. RISE incurred $1,273 and $2,017 in wholesale support fees for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as disclosed in the Combined Statements of Operations. BDRY incurred $16,995 and $7,083 in wholesale support fees for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as disclosed in the Combined Statements of Operations. (d) The Commodity Broker SG Americas Securities, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, serves as RISE’s clearing broker. MacQuarie Futures USA LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, serves as BDRY’s clearing broker (such clearing broker, together with SG Americas Securities, LLC, the “Commodity Brokers”). In their capacity as clearing broker, the Commodity Brokers execute and clear the Funds’ futures transactions and perform certain administrative services for the Funds. The Funds pay respective brokerage commissions, including applicable exchange fees, National Futures Association (“NFA”) fees, give–up fees, pit brokerage fees and other transaction related fees and expenses charged in connection with trading activities in CFTC regulated investments. Brokerage commissions on futures contracts are recognized on a half-turn basis. The Sponsor does not expect brokerage commissions and fees to exceed 0.08% for RISE, and 0.40% (excluding the impact on the Fund of creation and/or redemption activity) for BDRY, of the net asset value of the applicable Fund for execution and clearing services on behalf of the applicable Fund, although the actual amount of brokerage commissions and fees in any year or any part of any year may be greater. The effects of trading spreads, financing costs associated with financial instruments, and costs relating to the purchase of U.S. Treasury Securities or similar high credit quality short-term fixed-income or similar securities are not included in the foregoing analysis. RISE incurred $1,243 and $1,866 in brokerage commissions and fees for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as disclosed in the Combined Statements of Operations. BDRY incurred $75,212 and $8,297 in brokerage commissions and fees for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as disclosed in the Combined Statements of Operations. 25 (e) The Trustee Under the respective Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) for each Fund, Wilmington Trust Company, the Trustee of each of the Funds (the “Trustee”) serves as the sole trustee of each Fund in the State of Delaware. The Trustee will accept service of legal process on the Funds in the State of Delaware and will make certain filings under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act. Under the respective Trust Agreement for each Fund, the Sponsor has the exclusive management and control of all aspects of the business of the Fund. The Trustee does not owe any other duties to the Fund, the Sponsor or the Shareholders of the Fund. The Trustee has no duty or liability to supervise or monitor the performance of the Sponsor, nor does the Trustee have any liability for the acts or omissions of the Sponsor. RISE incurred $630 and $628, in trustee fees for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which is included in Other Expenses in the Combined Statements of Operations. BDRY incurred $630 and $628 in trustee fees for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which is included in Other Expenses in the Combined Statements of Operations. (f) Routine Offering, Operational, Administrative and Other Ordinary Expenses The Sponsor, in accordance with the RISE Expense Cap limitation, paid all of the routine offering, operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses of RISE in excess of 1.00% (excluding brokerage commissions and interest expense) of RISE’s average daily net assets, including, but not limited to, accounting and computer services, the fees and expenses of the Trustee, Administrator, Custodian, Transfer Agent and Distributor, legal and accounting fees and expenses, tax return preparation expenses, filing fees, and printing, mailing and duplication costs. RISE incurred $118,530 (including $194 in interest expense) and $119,184 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, in routine offering, operational, administrative or other ordinary expenses. The assumption of Fund expenses above the RISE Expense Cap by the Sponsor, pursuant to the undertaking (as discussed in Note 4a), amounted to $104,370 and $97,153 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Sponsor, in accordance with the BDRY Expense Cap limitation paid, after the waiver of the CTA fee for BDRY by Breakwave, all of the routine offering, operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses of BDRY in excess of 3.50% (excluding brokerage commissions and interest expense) of BDRY’s average daily net assets, including, but not limited to, accounting and computer services, the fees and expenses of the Trustee, Administrator, Custodian, Transfer Agent and Distributor, legal and accounting fees and expenses, tax return preparation expenses, filing fees, and printing, mailing and duplication costs. BDRY incurred $348,414 and $146,303 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, in routine offering, operational, administrative or other ordinary expenses. The CTA fee waiver for BDRY by Breakwave was $-0- and $9,652 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In addition, the assumption of Fund expenses above the BDRY Expense Cap by the Sponsor, pursuant to the undertaking (as discussed in Note 4a), amounted to $-0- and $105,056 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. (g) Organizational and Offering Costs Expenses incurred in connection with organizing RISE and up to the offering of its Shares upon commencement of its investment operations on February 19, 2015, were paid by the Sponsor and Sit without reimbursement. Expenses incurred in connection with organizing BDRY and up to the offering of its Shares upon commencement of its investment operations on March 22, 2018, were paid by the Sponsor and Breakwave without reimbursement. Accordingly, all such expenses are not reflected in the Statements of Operations. The Funds will bear the costs of their continuous offerings of Shares and ongoing offering expenses. Such ongoing offering costs will be included as a portion of the Routine Offering, Operational, Administrative and Other Ordinary Expenses. These costs will include registration fees for regulatory agencies and all legal, accounting, printing and other expenses associated therewith. These costs will be accounted for as a deferred charge and thereafter amortized to expense over twelve months on a straight-line basis or a shorter period if warranted. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, neither RISE nor BDRY incurred such expenses. (h) Extraordinary Fees and Expenses The Fund will pay all extraordinary fees and expenses, if any. Extraordinary fees and expenses are fees and expenses which are nonrecurring and unusual in nature, such as legal claims and liabilities, litigation costs or indemnification or other unanticipated expenses. Such extraordinary fees and expenses, by their nature, are unpredictable in terms of timing and amount. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, nether RISE nor BDRY incurred such expenses. 26 (5) Creations and Redemptions Each Fund issues and redeems Shares from time to time, but only in one or more Creation Baskets. A Creation Basket is a block of 25,000 Shares of each Fund. Baskets may be created or redeemed only by Authorized Participants. Except when aggregated in Creation Baskets, the Shares are not redeemable securities. Retail investors, therefore, generally will not be able to purchase or redeem Shares directly from or with each Fund. Rather, most retail investors will purchase or sell Shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker. Thus, some of the information contained in these Notes to Interim Combined Financial Statements – such as references to the Transaction Fee imposed on creations and redemptions – is not relevant to retail investors. (a) Transaction Fees on Creation and Redemption Transactions In connection with orders to create and redeem one or more Creation Baskets, an Authorized Participant is required to pay a transaction fee, or AP Transaction Fee, of $250 ($500 prior to May 18, 2020) per order, which goes directly to the Custodian. The AP Transaction Fees are paid by the Authorized Participants and not by the Funds.

Fluctuations in the prices of these assets could materially adversely affect the value and performance of an investment in RISE’s shares. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results; all or substantially all of an investment in RISE could be lost. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise, however, RISE attempts to maintain a portfolio with a negative effective duration and therefore anticipates that an increase in interest rates may increase RISE’s value, and a decrease in rates may lower RISE’s value. The NAV of RISE’s shares relates directly to the value of U.S. Treasuries and Treasury Instruments held by RISE which are materially impacted by interest rate movements. The magnitude of the impact on value from a change in interest rates is often greater for longer-term fixed income than shorter-term securities. Interest rates have remained near historic lows since the market events of 2008 and may remain low. Interest rate movements are heavily influenced by the action of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and other central banks. Their actions are based on judgments and policies which involve numerous political and economic factors which are unpredictable. Recent interest rate and monetary policies have been unprecedented and may continue to be so. RISE attempts to track a portfolio benchmark. The performance of RISE may not closely track the performance of the RISE Benchmark Portfolio for a variety of reasons. For example, RISE incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the benchmark. RISE is also required to manage cash flows and may experience operational inefficiencies the benchmark does not. In addition, RISE may not be fully invested in the contents of its benchmark at all times or may hold securities not included in its benchmark. RISE invests in Treasury Instruments and U.S. treasuries with exposure to different maturity dates. Generally, RISE’s exposure to securities with maturities of 2 and 5 years will be greater than its exposure to securities with maturities of 10 years. Interest rates do not change uniformly for U.S. Treasuries of different maturities and therefore if interest rates rise, the investment performance of RISE will be impacted by RISE’s current maturity exposure which may be different from the expectations of the Sponsor and investors in RISE. At any time, RISE’s maturity exposure may not be optimal with respect to a movement in interest rates which would negatively impact performance. The NAV of BDRY’s shares relates directly to the value of the futures portfolio, cash and cash equivalents held by BDRY. Fluctuations in the prices of these assets could materially adversely affect the value and performance of an investment in BDRY’s shares. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results; all or substantially all of an investment in BDRY could be lost. The NAV of BDRY’s shares relates directly to the value of futures investments held by BDRY which are materially impacted by fluctuations in changes in spot charter rates. Charter rates for dry bulk vessels are volatile and have declined significantly since their historic highs and may remain at low levels or decrease further in the future. Futures and options contracts have expiration dates. Before or upon the expiration of a contract, BDRY may be required to enter into a replacement contract that is priced higher or that have less favorable terms than the contract being replaced (see “Negative Roll Risk,” below). The Freight Futures market settles in cash against published indices, so there is no physical delivery against the futures contracts. Similar to other futures contracts, the Freight Futures curve shape could be either in “contango” (where the futures curve is upward sloping with next futures price higher than the current one) or “backwardation” (where each the next futures price is lower than the current one). Contango curves are generally characterized by negative roll cost, as the expiring contract value is lower that the next prompt contract value, assuming the same lot size. That means there could be losses incurred when the contracts are rolled each period and such losses are independent of the Freight Futures price level. 28 (b) Liquidity Risk In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the futures contracts or Financial Instruments in which the Funds invest, the Funds might not be able to dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent what the market value may have been in an orderly market. Futures and option positions cannot always be liquidated at the desired price. It is difficult to execute a trade at a specific price when there is a relatively small volume of buy and sell orders in a market. A market disruption can also make it difficult to liquidate a position. The large size of the positions that the Funds may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity both by making its positions more difficult to liquidate and by potentially increasing losses while trying to do so. Such a situation may prevent the Funds from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the applicable Benchmark Portfolio. (c) Natural Disaster/Epidemic Risk Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and other severe weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics (for example, the novel coronavirus COVID-19), have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and markets and have recently led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and significant market losses. Such natural disaster and health crises could exacerbate political, social, and economic risks previously mentioned, and result in significant breakdowns, delays, shutdowns, social isolation, and other disruptions to important global, local and regional supply chains affected, with potential corresponding results on the operating performance of the Funds and their investments. A climate of uncertainty and panic, including the contagion of infectious viruses or diseases, may adversely affect global, regional, and local economies and reduce the availability of potential investment opportunities, and increases the difficulty of performing due diligence and modeling market conditions, potentially reducing the accuracy of financial projections. Under these circumstances, the Funds may have difficulty achieving their investment objectives which may adversely impact performance. Further, such events can be highly disruptive to economies and markets, significantly disrupt the operations of individual companies (including, but not limited to, the Funds’ Sponsor and third party service providers), sectors, industries, markets, securities and commodity exchanges, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Funds’ investments. These factors can cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures and can impact the ability of the Funds to complete redemptions and otherwise affect Fund performance and Fund trading in the secondary market. A widespread crisis may also affect the global economy in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen at the present time. How long such events will last and whether they will continue or recur cannot be predicted. Impacts from these events could have significant impact on a Fund’s performance, resulting in losses to the Funds. (d) Risk that Current Assumptions and Expectations Could Become Outdated as a result of Global Economic Shocks The onset of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has caused significant shocks to global financial markets and economies, with many governments taking extreme actions to slow and contain the spread of COVID-19. These actions have had, and likely will continue to have, a severe economic impact on global economies as economic activity in some instances has essentially ceased at times. Financial markets across the globe have experienced, and may continue to experience, severe distress at least equal to what was experienced during the global financial crisis in 2008. The global economic shocks being experienced as of the date hereof may cause the underlying assumptions and expectations of the Funds to become outdated quickly or inaccurate, resulting in significant losses. (7) Profit and Loss Allocations and Distributions Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, income and expenses are allocated pro rata among the Shareholders monthly based on their respective percentage interests as of the close of the last trading day of the preceding month. Any losses allocated to the Sponsor which are in excess of the Sponsor’s capital balance are allocated to the Shareholders in accordance with their respective interest in the Funds as a percentage of total Shareholders’ capital. Distributions (other than redemption of units) may be made at the sole discretion of the Sponsor on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective interests of the Shareholders. (8) Indemnifications The Sponsor, either in its own capacity or in its capacity as the Sponsor and on behalf of the Funds, has entered into various service agreements that contain a variety of representations, or provide indemnification provisions related to certain risks service providers undertake in performing services which are in the best interests of the Funds. As of September 30, 2020, the Funds had not received any claims or incurred any losses pursuant to these agreements and expects the risk of such losses to be remote. 29 (9) Termination The term of each Fund is perpetual unless terminated earlier in certain circumstances as described in the applicable Prospectus. On October 16, 2020, the Sponsor announced that it will close the Sit Rising Rate ETF because of current market conditions and the Fund’s asset size. – See Note 11 (b) below. (10) Net Asset Value and Financial Highlights The Funds are presenting, as applicable, the following net asset value and financial highlights related to investment performance for a Share outstanding throughout the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. The net investment income and total expense ratios are calculated using average net assets. The net asset value presentation is calculated by dividing each Fund’s net assets by the average daily number of Shares outstanding. The net investment income (loss) and expense ratios have been annualized. The total return is based on the change in net asset value and market value of the Shares during the period. An individual investor’s return and ratios may vary based on the timing of their transactions in Fund Shares.

This evaluation did not result in any subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments to the financial statements, other than those disclosed below: Sit Rising Rate ETF: a) Futures Commission Merchant of Sit Rising Rate ETF On October 2, 2020, FC Stone replaced SG Americas Securities, LLC as Futures Commission Merchant for the Fund. b) Closure of Sit Rising Rate ETF On October 16, 2020, the Sponsor announced that it will close the Sit Rising Rate ETF because of current market conditions and the Fund’s asset size. The officers of the Sponsor of the Fund have authorized the closure and liquidation of the Fund. Trading on the NYSE Arca for the shares of the Fund was suspended after the close of business on October 30, 2020. Shareholders who did not sell their holdings on or before October 30, 2020 will receive cash equal to the amount of the net asset value of their shares on that date; such distribution will be completed on or about November 18, 2020. The cash amount will reflect the costs of closing and transaction costs. Subsequent to October 30, 2020, the Fund no longer pursued its stated investment objective or engaged in any business activities except for the purposes of winding up its business and affairs, preserving the value of its assets, paying its liabilities, and distributing its remaining assets to shareholders. 31 Item 2.

The second series of the Trust, Breakwave Dry Bulk Shipping ETF (“BDRY,” and together with RISE, each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), is also a commodity pool that continuously issues shares of beneficial interest that may be purchased and sold on the NYSE Arca. The Funds are each managed and controlled by ETF Managers Capital LLC (the “Sponsor”), a single member limited liability company that was formed in the state of Delaware on June 12, 2014. Each Fund pays the Sponsor a management fee. The Sponsor, the Trust, and the Funds maintain their main business offices at 30 Maple Street, Suite 2, Summit, NJ 07901. The Sponsor’s telephone number is (908) 897-0518. The Sponsor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Exchange Traded Managers Group LLC (“ETFMG”), a limited liability company domiciled and headquartered in New Jersey. The Sponsor has the power and authority to establish and designate one or more series and to issue shares thereof, from time to time as it deems necessary or desirable. The Sponsor has exclusive power to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences as between the shares of any series as to the right of redemption, special and relative rights as to dividends and other distributions and on liquidation, conversion rights, and conditions under which the series shall have separate voting rights or no voting rights. The term for which the Trust is to exist commenced on the date of the filing of the Certificate of Trust, and the Trust, the Funds, and any additional series created in the future will exist in perpetuity, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement. Separate and distinct records shall be maintained for each Fund and the assets associated with a Fund shall be held in such separate and distinct records (directly or indirectly, including a nominee or otherwise) and accounted for in such separate and distinct records separately from the assets of any other series. The Funds and each future series will be separate from all such series in respect of the assets and liabilities allocated to a Fund and each separate series and will represent a separate investment portfolio of the Trust. The Funds are each a “commodity pool” as defined by the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”). Consequently, the Sponsor has registered as a commodity pool operator (“CPO”) with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and is a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”). 32 The sole Trustee of the Trust is Wilmington Trust, N.A. (the “Trustee”), and the Trustee serves as the Trust’s corporate trustee as required under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (“DSTA”). The Trustee’s principal offices are located at 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890. The Trustee is unaffiliated with the Sponsor. The rights and duties of the Trustee and the Sponsor with respect to the offering of the Shares and Fund management and the shareholders are governed by the provisions of the DSTA and by the Trust Agreement. RISE commenced investment operations on February 19, 2015. RISE commenced trading on NYSE Arca on February 19, 2015 and trades under the symbol “RISE”. BDRY commenced investment operations on March 22, 2018. BDRY commenced trading on NYSE Arca on March 22, 2018. BDRY commenced trading on NYSE Arca on March 22, 2018 and trades under the symbol “BDRY”. Each Fund is designed and managed to track the performance of a portfolio (a “Benchmark Portfolio”) consisting of futures contracts and options on futures contracts (the “Benchmark Component Instruments”). Sit Rising Rate ETF The Investment Objective of the Fund RISE’s investment objective is to profit from rising interest rates by tracking the performance of a portfolio (“the Benchmark Portfolio”) consisting of exchange traded futures contracts and options on futures on 2, 5 and 10 year U.S. Treasury securities (“Treasury Instruments”) weighted to achieve a targeted negative 10 year average effective portfolio duration (the “RISE Benchmark Component Instruments”). RISE seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in the RISE Benchmark Component Instruments currently constituting the RISE Benchmark Portfolio. The Benchmark Portfolio The RISE Benchmark Portfolio is maintained by Sit Fixed Income Advisors II, LLC (“Sit”), which also serves as the Fund’s commodity trading advisor (“CTA”). The RISE Benchmark Portfolio will be rebalanced, reconstituted, or both, monthly (typically on the 15th of each month or on the next business day if the 15th is a holiday, weekend, or other day on which the national stock exchanges are closed) to maintain a negative 10 year average effective duration. The RISE Benchmark Portfolio and RISE will each maintain a short position in Treasury Instruments. RISE does not use futures contracts or options to obtain leveraged investment results. The Fund will not invest in swaps or other over-the-counter derivative instruments. The RISE Benchmark Component Instruments currently constituting the RISE Benchmark Portfolio as of September 30, 2020 include: Name Ticker Market Value USD US 10YR FUT OPTN DEC 20P 140.00 TYZ0P140 $ 15,508 UNITED STATES TREAS BILLS 9127962S7 2,849,879 US 5YR NOTE DEC20 FVZ0 (2,898,719 ) US 2 YR NOTE DEC20 TUZ0 (4,861,141 ) US 5YR FUTR OPTN DEC20C 125.75 FVZ0C125.75 (3,121 ) 33 The RISE Benchmark Component Instruments currently constituting the RISE Benchmark Portfolio and anticipated rebalancing dates, as well as the daily holdings of the Fund, are available on the Fund’s website at www.risingrateetf.com. The weighting of the Treasury Instruments constituting the RISE Benchmark Component Instruments will be based on each maturity’s duration contribution. The expected range for the duration weighted percentage of the 2 year and 5 year maturity Treasury Instruments will be from 30% to 70%. The expected range for the duration weighted percentage of the 10 year maturity Treasury Instruments will be from 5% to 25%. The relative weightings of the RISE Benchmark Component Instruments will be shifted between maturities when there are material changes in the shape of the yield curve, for example, if the Federal Reserve began raising short term interest rates more than long term interest rates. In such an instance, Sit, which maintains the RISE Benchmark Portfolio, will increase the weightings of the 2 year and reduce the weighting in the 10 year maturity Treasury Instruments. Conversely, Sit will do the opposite if the Federal Reserve began raising long term interest rates more than short term interest rates. Reconstitution and rebalancing each will occur monthly, on the 15th, except for as noted above or if there are radical changes in the yield curve such that effective duration is outside of a range from negative nine to negative 11 year average effective duration, in which case Sit will adjust the maturities of the Treasury Instruments before the next expected monthly reconstitution. The Sponsor anticipates that approximately 5% to 15% of the Fund’s assets will be used as payment for or collateral for Treasury Instruments. In order to collateralize its Treasury Instrument positions, the Fund will hold such assets, from which it will post margin to its FCM, in an amount equal to the margin required by the relevant exchange, and transfer to its FCM any additional amounts that may be separately required by the FCM. When establishing positions in Treasury Instruments, the Fund will be required to deposit initial margin with a value of approximately 3% to 10% of the value of each Treasury Instrument position at the time it is established. These margin requirements are subject to change from time to time by the exchange or the FCM. On a daily basis, the Fund will be obligated to pay, or entitled to receive, variation margin in an amount equal to the change in the daily settlement level of its Treasury Instruments positions. Any assets not required to be posted as margin with the FCM will be held at the Fund’s administrator in cash or cash equivalents as discussed below. The RISE Benchmark Portfolio will be invested in RISE Benchmark Component Instruments and rebalanced, as noted above, to maintain a negative average effective portfolio duration of approximately 10 years. Duration is a measure of estimated price sensitivity relative to changes in interest rates. Portfolios with longer durations are typically more sensitive to changes in interest rates. For example, if interest rates rise by 1%, the market value of a security with an effective duration of 5 years would decrease by 5%, with all other factors being constant, and likewise the market value of a security with an effective duration of negative 5 years would increase by 5%, with all other factors being constant. Duration estimates are based on assumptions by Sit and are subject to a number of limitations. Duration is a more accurate estimate of price sensitivity provided interest rate changes are small and occur equally in short-term and long-term securities. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. The risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. The Fund will incur certain expenses in connection with its operations. The Fund will hold cash or cash equivalents such as U.S. Treasuries or other high credit quality, short-term fixed-income or similar securities for direct investment or as collateral for the Treasury Instruments and for other liquidity purposes and to meet redemptions that may be necessary on an ongoing basis. These expenses and income from the cash and cash equivalent holdings may cause imperfect correlation between changes in the Fund’s NAV and changes in the RISE Benchmark Portfolio, because the RISE Benchmark Portfolio does not reflect expenses or income. 34 Breakwave Dry Bulk Shipping ETF The Investment Objective of the Fund BDRY’s investment objective is to provide investors with exposure to the daily change in the price of dry bulk freight futures by tracking the performance of a portfolio (the “BDRY Benchmark Portfolio” and consisting of exchange-cleared futures contracts on the cost of shipping dry bulk freight (“Freight Futures”). BDRY seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the Freight Futures currently constituting the BDRY Benchmark Portfolio. The Benchmark Portfolio The BDRY Benchmark Portfolio is maintained by Breakwave Advisors LLC (“Breakwave”), which also serves as BDRY’s CTA. The BDRY Benchmark Portfolio consists of the Freight Futures, which are a three-month strip of the nearest calendar quarter of futures contracts on specified indexes (each a “Reference Index”) that measure rates for shipping dry bulk freight. Each Reference Index is published each United Kingdom business day by the London-based Baltic Exchange Ltd. (the “Baltic Exchange”) and measures the charter rate for shipping dry bulk freight in a specific size category of cargo ship – Capesize, Panamax or Supramax. The three Reference Indexes are as follows: ● Capesize : the Capesize 5TC Index; ● Panamax : the Panamax 4TC Index; and ● Supramax : the Supramax 6TC Index. The BDRY Benchmark Component Instruments currently constituting the BDRY Benchmark Portfolio as of March 31, 2020 include: Name Ticker Market Value USD Baltic Panamax Time Charter Oct 20 BFFAP V20 Index $ 2,808,720 Baltic Panamax Time Charter Nov 20 BFFAP X20 Index 2,918,160 Baltic Panamax Time Charter Dec 20 BFFAP Z20 Index 2,766,720 Baltic Capesize Time Charter Oct 20 BFFATC V20 Index 6,930,825 Baltic Capesize Time Charter Nov 20 BFFATC X20 Index 6,120,740 Baltic Capesize Time Charter Dec 20 BFFATC Z20 Index 5,199,990 Baltic Supramax T/C Average Shipping Route Oct 20 S58FM V20 Index 1,294,320 Baltic Supramax T/C Average Shipping Route Nov 20 S58FM X20 Index 1,302,000 Baltic Supramax T/C Average Shipping Route Dec 20 S58FM Z20 Index 1,204,680 The value of the Capesize 5TC Index is disseminated at 11:00 a.m., London Time and the value of the Panamax 4TC Index and the Supramax 6TC Index each is disseminated at 1:00 p.m., London Time. The Reference Index information disseminated by the Baltic Exchange also includes the components and value of each component in each Reference Index. Such Reference Index information also is widely disseminated by Reuters and/or other major market data vendors. BDRY seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the Freight Futures currently constituting the BDRY Benchmark Portfolio. The BDRY Benchmark Portfolio will include all existing positions to maturity and settle them in cash. During any given calendar quarter, the BDRY Benchmark Portfolio will progressively increase its position to the next calendar quarter three-month strip, thus maintaining constant exposure to the Freight Futures market as positions mature. 35 The BDRY Benchmark Portfolio will maintain long-only positions in Freight Futures. The BDRY Benchmark Portfolio will include a combination of Capesize, Panamax and Supramax Freight Futures. More specifically, the BDRY Benchmark Portfolio will include 50% exposure in Capesize Freight Futures contracts, 40% exposure in Panamax Freight Futures contracts and 10% exposure in Supramax Freight Futures contracts. The BDRY Benchmark Portfolio will not include and the Fund will not invest in swaps, non-cleared dry bulk freight forwards or other over-the-counter derivative instruments that are not cleared through exchanges or clearing houses. The Fund may hold exchange-traded options on Freight Futures. The BDRY Benchmark Portfolio is maintained by Breakwave and will be rebalanced annually. The Freight Futures currently constituting the Benchmark Portfolio, as well as the daily holdings of the Fund will be available on the Fund’s website at www.drybulketf.com. When establishing positions in Freight Futures, BDRY will be required to deposit initial margin with a value of approximately 10% to 40% of the notional value of each Freight Futures position at the time it is established. These margin requirements are established and subject to change from time to time by the relevant exchanges, clearing houses or the Fund’s futures commission merchant (“FCM”). On a daily basis, the Fund will be obligated to pay, or entitled to receive, variation margin in an amount equal to the change in the daily settlement level of its Freight Futures positions. Any assets not required to be posted as margin with the FCM will be held at the Fund’s custodian in cash or cash equivalents. BDRY will hold cash or cash equivalents such as U.S. Treasuries or other high credit quality, short-term fixed-income or similar securities for direct investment or as collateral for the U.S. Treasuries and for other liquidity purposes and to meet redemptions that may be necessary on an ongoing basis. The Fund may also realize interest income from its holdings in U.S. Treasuries or other market rate instruments. The Sponsor ETF Managers Capital, LLC is the sponsor of the Trust and the Funds.

The Share price high and low for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and related change from the closing Share price on June 30, 2020 were as follows: Shares traded from a high of $20.32 per Share (+0.30%) on July 13, 2020 to a low of $20.02 per Share (-1.18%) on September 28, 2020. Fund Share Net Asset Performance For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the net asset value of each Share decreased (-0.74%) from $20.27 per Share, representing the closing net asset value per Share on June 30, 2020, to $20.12 per Share. The realized and unrealized net losses in the investments, futures and options contracts and the net investment loss resulted in the overall decrease in the NAV per Share during the three months ended September 30, 2020. Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2020, was $41,371, resulting from net realized losses on investments, futures and options contracts of $34,256, net unrealized gains on investments, futures and options contracts of $1,618 and the net investment loss of $8,733. FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 Fund Share Price Performance During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the NYSE Arca market value of each Share decreased (-0.44%) from $22.73 per Share, representing the closing trade on June 28, 2019, to $22.63 per Share, representing the closing price on September 30, 2019. The Share price high and low for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and related change from the closing Share price on June 28, 2019 were as follows: Shares traded from a high of $23.01 per Share (+1.21%) on July 12, 2019 to a low of $22.07 per Share (-2.90%) on September 3, 2019.

The impact and timing of significant redemptions of Fund Shares modestly offset net gains in the investments, futures and options contracts and net investment income resulting in the overall decrease in the NAV per Share during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2019, was $52,563, resulting from net realized gains on investments, futures and options contracts of $53,483, net unrealized losses on investments, futures and options contracts of $22,875 and the net investment income of $21,955. Breakwave Dry Bulk Shipping ETF During the three months ended September 30, 2020, freight rates for dry bulk experienced significant volatility across all vessel classes. The Baltic Dry Index, an index that tracks global spot rates for dry bulk, was down only 4% for the quarter, but traded in a wide range from a low of 1267 to a high of 1956 during the period. Slower export activity out of Brazil caused a sharp drop in Capesize rates during the month of July but rates stabilized in August before turning back up in late September as higher exporting activity from Brazil and overall robust demand for raw materials from China aided freight rates. Panamax and Supramax rates remained relatively flat throughout the quarter, as activity remained subdued in the coal and grain trade, the two major markets that smaller size dry bulk vessels serve. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, freight futures also followed spot rates closely, as sentiment improved and expectations for both short term as well as long term rates increased towards the end of the period. As a result, BDRY’s performance closely tracked the performance of short-term dry bulk freight futures, leading to considerable volatility of the Fund’s NAV per share during the period. Towards the end of the quarter, and with the late recovery in spot rates, BDRY managed to rally and ended up 7% higher for the quarter. 39 NEITHER THE PAST PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND NOR THE PRIOR BENCHMARK PORTFOLIO LEVELS AND CHANGES, POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE, SHOULD BE TAKEN AS AN INDICATION OF THE FUND’S FUTURE PERFORMANCE.

The difference in the NAV price the benchmark value often results in the appearance of a NAV premium or discount to the benchmark. Differences in the benchmark return and the BDRY net asset value per share are due primarily to the following factors: [UPDATE] ● Benchmark portfolio uses settlement prices of freight futures vs. BDRY closing Share price, ● Benchmark portfolio roll methodology assumes rolls that can happen even at fractions of lots vs. BDRY that uses the real minimum market lot available (5 days per months), ● Benchmark portfolio assumes rolls are happening at the settlement price of the day vs. that buys at a transaction price during the day that might or might not be equal to the settlement price, ● Benchmark portfolio assumes no trading commissions vs. BDRY that pays 10bps for each transaction, ● Benchmark portfolio assumes no clearing fees vs. BDRY that pays approximately 3-5bps of total clearing fees for each trade, ● Benchmark portfolio assumes no management fees vs. BDRY fee structure of 3.5% of average net assets on an annualized basis, and ● Creations and redemptions that lead to transactions that occur at prices that might be different than the settlement prices There are no competitors. BDRY is the only Freight futures ETF globally.

Calculating NAV The Fund’s NAV is calculated by: ● Taking the current market value of its total assets; ● Subtracting any liabilities; and ● Dividing that total by the total number of outstanding shares. The Administrator calculates the NAV of the Fund once each NYSE Arca trading day. The NAV for a particular trading day is released after 4:00 p.m. E.T. Trading during the core trading session on the NYSE Arca typically closes at 4:00 p.m. E.T. The Administrator uses CME closing price (determined at the earlier of the close of the CME or 2:30 p.m. E.T.) for the contracts traded on the CME, with respect to RISE, and the Baltic Exchange settlement price for the Freight Futures and option contracts, with respect to BDRY. The Administrator calculates or determines the value of all other Fund investments using market quotations, if available, or other information customarily used to determine the fair value of such investments as of the close of the NYSE Arca (normally 4:00 p.m. E.T.), in accordance with the current Administrative Agency Agreement among U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, the Fund and the Sponsor. For purposes of calculating the NAV of RISE, “other information” customarily used in determining fair value includes information consisting of market data in the relevant market supplied by one or more third parties including, without limitation, relevant rates, prices, yields, yield curves, volatilities, spreads, correlations or other market data in the relevant market; or information of the types described above from internal sources if that information is of the same type used by the Fund in the regular course of its business for the valuation of similar transactions. The information may include costs of funding, to the extent costs of funding are not and would not be a component of the other information being utilized. Third parties supplying quotations or market data may include, without limitation, dealers in the relevant markets, end-users of the relevant product, information vendors, brokers and other sources of market information. In addition, in order to provide updated information relating to the Fund for use by investors and market professionals, an updated indicative fund value (“IFV”) is made available through on-line information services throughout the core trading session hours of 9:30 a.m. E.T. to 4:00 p.m. E.T. on each trading day. The IFV is calculated by using the prior day’s closing NAV per share of the Fund as a base and updating that value throughout the trading day to reflect changes in the most recently reported trade price for the futures and/or options held by the Fund. For BDRY, certain Freight Futures brokers provide real time pricing information to the general public either through their websites or through data vendors such as Bloomberg or Reuters. The IFV disseminated during NYSE Arca core trading session hours should not be viewed as an actual real time update of the NAV, because the NAV is calculated only once at the end of each trading day based upon the relevant end of day values of the Fund’s investments. 43 The IFV is disseminated on a per share basis every 15 seconds during regular NYSE Arca core trading session hours. The normal trading hours of the CME are 10:00 a.m. E.T. to 2:30 p.m. E.T. The customary trading hours of the Freight Futures trading are 3:00 a.m. E.T. to 12:00 p.m. E.T. This means that there is a gap in time at the beginning and/or the end of each day during which a Fund’s shares are traded on the NYSE Arca, but real-time trading prices for contracts are not available. During such gaps in time the IFV will be calculated based on the end of day price of such contracts from the CMR’s or Baltic Exchange’s, as applicable, immediately preceding trading session. In addition, other investments and U.S. Treasuries held by the Fund will be valued by the Administrator, using rates and points received from client-approved third party vendors (such as Reuters and WM Company) and advisor or broker-dealer quotes. These investments will not be included in the IFV. The NYSE Arca disseminates the IFV through the facilities of CTA/CQ High Speed Lines. In addition, the IFV is published on the NYSE Arca’s website and is available through on-line information services such as Bloomberg and Reuters. Dissemination of the IFV provides additional information that is not otherwise available to the public and is useful to investors and market professionals in connection with the trading of a Fund’s shares on the NYSE Arca. Investors and market professionals are able throughout the trading day to compare the market price of a Fund’s shares and the IFV. If the market price of a Fund’s shares diverges significantly from the IFV, market professionals will have an incentive to execute arbitrage trades. For example, if a Fund’s shares appear to be trading at a discount compared to the IFV, a market professional could buy the Fund shares on the NYSE Arca and take the opposite position in Treasury Instruments or Freight Futures, as applicable. Such arbitrage trades can tighten the tracking between the market price of a Fund’s shares and the IFV and thus can be beneficial to all market participants. Critical Accounting Policies Each Fund’s critical accounting policies are as follows: Preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the application of appropriate accounting rules and guidance, as well as the use of estimates. The Funds’ application of these policies involves judgments and the use of estimates. Actual results may differ from the estimates used and such differences could be material. Each Fund holds a significant portion of its assets in futures contracts and money market funds, which are held at fair value. Each Fund calculates its net asset value as of the NAV Calculation Time as described above. The values which are used by the Funds for their Treasury Instruments and Freight Futures, as applicable, are provided by the applicable Fund’s commodity broker, which uses market prices when available. In addition, the Funds estimate interest income on a daily basis using prevailing rates earned on their cash and cash equivalents. These estimates are adjusted to the actual amount received on a monthly basis and the difference, if any, is not considered material. Credit Risk When a Fund enters into Benchmark Component Instruments, it will be exposed to the credit risk that the counterparty will not be able to meet its obligations. For purposes of credit risk, the counterparty for the Benchmark Component Instruments traded on or cleared by the CME and other futures exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with those exchanges. In general, clearinghouses are backed by their members who may be required to share in the financial burden resulting from the nonperformance of one of their members, which should significantly reduce credit risk. There can be no assurance that any counterparty, clearinghouse, or their financial backers will satisfy their obligations to the Funds. The Sponsor will attempt to minimize certain of these market and credit risks by normally: ● executing and clearing trades with creditworthy counterparties, as determined by the Sponsor; ● limiting the outstanding amounts due from counterparties of the Funds; 44 ● not posting margin directly with a counterparty; ● limiting the amount of margin or premium posted at the FCM; and ● ensuring that deliverable contracts are not held to such a date when delivery of an underlying asset could be called for. The Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) requires all FCMs, such as the Fund’s clearing brokers, to meet and maintain specified fitness and financial requirements, to segregate customer funds from proprietary funds and account separately for all customers’ funds and positions, and to maintain specified books and records open to inspection by the staff of the CFTC. The CFTC has similar authority over introducing brokers, or persons who solicit or accept orders for commodity interest trades but who do not accept margin deposits for the execution of trades. The CEA authorizes the CFTC to regulate trading by FCMs and by their officers and directors, permits the CFTC to require action by exchanges in the event of market emergencies, and establishes an administrative procedure under which customers may institute complaints for damages arising from alleged violations of the CEA. The CEA also gives the states powers to enforce its provisions and the regulations of the CFTC. On November 14, 2013, the CFTC published final regulations that require enhanced customer protections, risk management programs, internal monitoring and controls, capital and liquidity standards, customer disclosures and auditing and examination programs for FCMs. The rules are intended to afford greater assurances to market participants that customer segregated funds and secured amounts are protected, customers are provided with appropriate notice of the risks of futures trading and of the FCMs with which they may choose to do business, FCMs are monitoring and managing risks in a robust manner, the capital and liquidity of FCMs are strengthened to safeguard the continued operations and the auditing and examination programs of the CFTC and the self-regulatory organizations are monitoring the activities of FCMs in a thorough manner. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Funds do not anticipate making use of borrowings or other lines of credit to meet their obligations. The Funds meet their liquidity needs in the normal course of business from the proceeds of the sale of their investments or from the cash, cash equivalents and/or the collateralizing Treasury Securities that they hold. The Funds’ liquidity needs include: redeeming their shares, providing margin deposits for existing Benchmark Component Instruments, the purchase of additional Benchmark Component Instruments, and paying expenses. The Funds generate cash primarily from (i) the sale of Creation Baskets and (ii) interest earned on cash, cash equivalents and their investments in collateralizing Treasury Securities. Generally, all of the net assets of the Funds are allocated to trading in Benchmark Component Instruments. Most of the assets of the Funds are held in Treasury Instruments, cash and/or cash equivalents that could or are used as margin or collateral for trading in Benchmark Component Instruments. The percentage that such assets bear to the total net assets will vary from period to period as the market values of the Benchmark Component Instruments change. Interest earned on interest-bearing assets of the Funds are paid to the Funds. Due to the economic uncertainty due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Funds have experienced a significant decrease in interest rates, and as such the Funds are experiencing a higher breakeven year over year. The investments of the Funds in Benchmark Component Instruments could be subject to periods of illiquidity because of market conditions, regulatory considerations and other reasons. Such conditions could prevent the Funds from promptly liquidating a position in Benchmark Component Instruments. Market Risk Trading in Benchmark Component Instruments such as futures contracts will involve the Funds entering into contractual commitments to purchase or sell specific amounts of instruments at a specified date in the future. The gross or face amount of the contracts is expected to significantly exceed the future cash requirements of the Funds as the Funds intend to close out any open positions prior to the contractual expiration date. As a result, the Funds’ market risk is the risk of loss arising from the decline in value of the contracts, not from the need to make delivery under the contracts. The Funds consider the “fair value” of derivative instruments to be the unrealized gain or loss on the contracts. The market risk associated with the commitment by the Funds to purchase a specific contract will be limited to the aggregate face amount of the contracts held. The exposure of the Funds to market risk will depend on a number of factors including the markets for the specific instrument, the volatility of interest rates and foreign exchange rates, the liquidity of the instrument-specific market and the relationships among the contracts held by the Funds. 45 Regulatory Environment The regulation of futures markets, futures contracts, and futures exchanges has historically been comprehensive. The CFTC and the exchanges are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of a market emergency including, for example, the retroactive implementation of speculative position limits, increased margin requirements, the establishment of daily price limits and the suspension of trading. The regulation of commodity interest transactions in the United States is an evolving area of law and is subject to ongoing modification by governmental and judicial action. Considerable regulatory attention has been focused on non-traditional investment pools that are publicly distributed in the United States. There is a possibility of future regulatory changes within the United States altering, perhaps to a material extent, the nature of an investment in the Funds, or the ability of the Funds to continue to implement their investment strategies. In addition, various national governments outside of the United States have expressed concern regarding the disruptive effects of speculative trading in the commodities markets and the need to regulate the derivatives markets in general. The effect of any future regulatory change on the Funds is impossible to predict but could be substantial and adverse. The CFTC possesses exclusive jurisdiction to regulate the activities of commodity pool operators and commodity trading advisors with respect “commodity interests,” such as futures, swaps and options, and has adopted regulations with respect to the activities of those persons and/or entities. Under the CEA, a registered CPO, such as the Sponsor, is required to make annual filings with the CFTC and NFA describing its organization, capital structure, management and controlling persons. In addition, the CEA authorizes the CFTC to require and review books and records of, and documents prepared by, registered CPOs. Pursuant to this authority, the CFTC requires CPOs to keep accurate, current and orderly records for each pool that they operate. The CFTC may suspend the registration of a commodity pool operator (1) if the CFTC finds that the operator’s trading practices tend to disrupt orderly market conditions, (2) if any controlling person of the operator is subject to an order of the CFTC denying such person trading privileges on any exchange, and (3) in certain other circumstances. Suspension, restriction or termination of the Sponsor’s registration as a commodity pool operator would prevent it, until that registration were to be reinstated, from managing the Funds, and might result in the termination of the Funds if a successor sponsor is not elected pursuant to the Trust Agreement. The Funds’ investors are afforded prescribed rights for reparations under the CEA. Investors may also be able to maintain a private right of action for violations of the CEA. The CFTC has adopted rules implementing the reparation provisions of the CEA, which provide that any person may file a complaint for a reparations award with the CFTC for violation of the CEA against a floor broker or an FCM, introducing broker, commodity trading advisor, CPO, and their respective associated persons. Pursuant to authority in the CEA, the NFA has been formed and registered with the CFTC as a registered futures association. At the present time, the NFA is the only self-regulatory organization for commodity interest professionals, other than futures exchanges. The CFTC has delegated to the NFA responsibility for the registration of CPOs and FCMs and their respective associated persons. The Sponsor and the Funds’ clearing broker are members of the NFA. As such, they will be subject to NFA standards relating to fair trade practices, financial condition and consumer protection. The NFA also arbitrates disputes between members and their customers and conducts registration and fitness screening of applicants for membership and audits of its existing members. Neither the Trust nor the Funds are required to become a member of the NFA. The regulations of the CFTC and the NFA prohibit any representation by a person registered with the CFTC or by any member of the NFA, that registration with the CFTC, or membership in the NFA, in any respect indicates that the CFTC or the NFA has approved or endorsed that person or that person’s trading program or objectives. The registrations and memberships of the parties described in this summary must not be considered as constituting any such approval or endorsement. Likewise, no futures exchange has given or will give any similar approval or endorsement. Futures exchanges in the United States are subject to varying degrees of regulation under the CEA depending on whether such exchange is a designated contract market, exempt board of trade or electronic trading facility. Clearing organizations are also subject to the CEA and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder as administered by the CFTC. The CFTC’s function is to implement the CEA’s objectives of preventing price manipulation and excessive speculation and promoting orderly and efficient commodity interest markets. In addition, the various exchanges and clearing organizations themselves exercise regulatory and supervisory authority over their member firms. 46 The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was enacted in response to the economic crisis of 2008 and 2009 and it significantly altered the regulatory regime to which the securities and commodities markets are subject. To date, the CFTC has issued proposed or final versions of almost all of the rules it is required to promulgate under the Dodd-Frank Act. The provisions of the new law include the requirement that position limits be established on a wide range of commodity interests, including agricultural, energy, and metal-based commodity futures contracts, options on such futures contracts and cleared and uncleared swaps that are economically equivalent to such futures contracts and options; new registration and recordkeeping requirements for swap market participants; capital and margin requirements for “swap dealers” and “major swap participants,” as determined by the new law and applicable regulations; reporting of all swaps transactions to swap data repositories; and the mandatory use of clearinghouse mechanisms for sufficiently standardized swap transactions that were historically entered into in the over-the-counter market, but are now designated as subject to the clearing requirement; and margin requirements for over-the counter swaps that are not subject to the clearing requirements. The Dodd-Frank Act was intended to reduce systemic risks that may have contributed to the 2008/2009 financial crisis. Since the first draft of what became the Dodd-Frank Act, supporters and opponents have debated the scope of the legislation. As the administrations of the U.S. change, the interpretation and implementation will change with them. Nevertheless, regulatory reform of any kind may have a significant impact on U.S. regulated entities. Current rules and regulations under the Dodd-Frank Act require enhanced customer protections, risk management programs, internal monitoring and controls, capital and liquidity standards, customer disclosures and auditing and examination programs for FCMs. The rules are intended to afford greater assurances to market participants that customer segregated funds and secured amounts are protected, customers are provided with appropriate notice of the risks of futures trading and of the FCMs with which they may choose to do business, FCMs are monitoring and managing risks in a robust manner, the capital and liquidity of FCMs are strengthened to safeguard the continued operations and the auditing and examination programs of the CFTC and the self-regulatory organizations are monitoring the activities of FCMs in a thorough manner. Regulatory bodies outside the U.S. have also passed or proposed, or may propose in the future, legislation similar to that proposed by the Dodd-Frank Act or other legislation containing other restrictions that could adversely impact the liquidity of and increase costs of participating in the commodities markets. For example, the European Union Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Directive 2014/65/EU) and Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 600/2014) (together “MiFID II”), which has applied since January 3, 2018, governs the provision of investment services and activities in relation to, as well as the organized trading of, financial instruments such as shares, bonds, units in collective investment schemes and derivatives. In particular, MiFID II requires EU Member States to apply position limits to the size of a net position which a person can hold at any time in commodity derivatives traded on EU trading venues and in “economically equivalent” over-the-counter (“OTC”) contracts. By way of further example, the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, as amended) (“EMIR”) introduced certain requirements in respect of OTC derivatives including: (i) the mandatory clearing of OTC derivative contracts declared subject to the clearing obligation; (ii) risk mitigation techniques in respect of un-cleared OTC derivative contracts, including the mandatory margining of un-cleared OTC derivative contracts; and (iii) reporting and recordkeeping requirements in respect of all derivatives contracts. In the event that the requirements under EMIR and MiFID II apply, these are expected to increase the cost of transacting derivatives. In addition, considerable regulatory attention has been focused on non-traditional publicly distributed investment pools such as the Funds. Furthermore, various national governments have expressed concern regarding the disruptive effects of speculative trading in certain commodity markets and the need to regulate the derivatives markets in general. The effect of any future regulatory change on the Funds is impossible to predict, but could be substantial and adverse. Management believes that as of September 30, 2020, it had fulfilled in a timely manner all Dodd-Frank or other regulatory requirements to which it is subject. Off Balance Sheet Financing As of September 30, 2020, neither the Trust nor the Funds have any loan guarantees, credit support or other off-balance sheet arrangements of any kind other than agreements entered into in the normal course of business, which may include indemnification provisions relating to certain risks service providers undertake in performing services which are in the best interests of the Funds. While the exposure of the Funds under these indemnification provisions cannot be estimated, they are not expected to have a material impact on the financial position of the Funds. 47 Redemption Basket Obligation Other than as necessary to meet the investment objective of the Fund and pay the contractual obligations described below, the Fund will require liquidity to redeem Redemption Baskets. The Fund intends to satisfy this obligation through the transfer of cash of the Fund (generated, if necessary, through the sale of Treasury Instruments) in an amount proportionate to the number of Shares being redeemed. Contractual Obligations The primary contractual obligations of each Fund will be with the Sponsor and certain other service providers. Management and CTA Fees RISE and BDRY each pay the Sponsor a management fee (the “Sponsor Fee”) in consideration of the Sponsor’s advisory services to the Funds. Additionally, RISE and BDRY each pays its respective commodity trading advisor a license and service fee (the “CTA Fee”). RISE pays the Sponsor Fee monthly in arrears, in an amount equal to the greater of 0.15% per annum of the value of RISE’s average daily net assets or $75,000. The Sponsor Fee is paid in consideration of the Sponsor’s management services to RISE. RISE also pays Sit a CTA Fee monthly in arrears, for the use of the RISE Benchmark Portfolio in an amount equal to 0.20% per annum of RISE’s average daily net assets. The Sponsor has contractually agreed to waive RISE’s Sponsor Fee and/or assume RISE’s remaining expenses so that RISE’s expenses do not exceed an annual rate of 1.00%, excluding brokerage commissions, interest expense, and extraordinary expenses, of the value of RISE’s average daily net assets (the “RISE Expense Cap”). The assumption of expenses and waiver of RISE’s Sponsor fee are contractual on the part of the Sponsor, through September 30, 2021. If after that date, the Sponsor no longer assumed expenses or waived RISE’s Sponsor Fee, RISE could be adversely impacted, including in its ability to achieve its investment objective. On October 16, 2020, the Sponsor announced that it will close the RISE because of current market conditions and the Fund’s asset size. See Note 11 (b) to the Interim Combined Financial Statements. RISE currently accrues its daily expenses up to the RISE Expense Cap. At the end of each month, the accrued amount is remitted to the Sponsor as the Sponsor is responsible for the payment of the routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses of RISE. RISE’s total expenses amounted to $118,530 (including interest expense of $194) and $119,184, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, of which $104,370 and $97,153 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, was absorbed by the Sponsor pursuant to the RISE Expense Cap. BDRY pays the Sponsor Fee, monthly in arrears, in an amount equal to the greater of 0.15% per year of BDRY’s average daily net assets; or $125,000. BDRY’s Sponsor Fee is paid in consideration of the Sponsor’s management services to BDRY. BDRY also pays Breakwave the CTA Fee monthly in arrears, for the use of BDRY’s Benchmark Portfolio in an amount equal to 1.45% per annum of BDRY’s average daily net assets. Breakwave has agreed to waive its CTA Fee and the Sponsor has agreed to correspondingly assume the remaining expenses of BDRY so that BDRY’s expenses do not exceed an annual rate of 3.50%, excluding brokerage commissions, interest expense, and extraordinary expenses, of the value of BDRY’s average daily net assets (the “BDRY Expense Cap”). The assumption of expenses and waiver of BDRY’s CTA Fee are contractual on the part of the Sponsor and Breakwave, respectively, through September 30, 2021. If after that date, the Sponsor and/or Breakwave no longer assumed expenses or waived the CTA Fee, respectively, BDRY could be adversely impacted, including in its ability to achieve its investment objective. The assumption of expenses by the Sponsor for BDRY, pursuant to the BDRY Expense Cap, amounted to $-0- and $105,056 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as disclosed in the Combined Statements of Operations. The waiver of Breakwave’s CTA fees, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $-0- and $9,652 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, as disclosed in the Combined Statements of Operations. BDRY currently accrues its daily expenses based upon established individual expense amounts or the BDRY Expense Cap, whichever aggregate amount is less. At the end of each month, the accrued amount is remitted to the Sponsor as the Sponsor is responsible for the payment of the routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses of the Fund. BDRY’s total expenses amounted to $348,418 and $146,303 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. 48 Each Fund’s ongoing fees, costs and expenses of its operation, not subject to the applicable Expense Cap include brokerage and other fees and commissions incurred in connection with the trading activities of the Fund, and extraordinary expenses (including, but not limited to, legal claims and liabilities and litigation costs and any indemnification related thereto). Expenses subject to an Expense Cap include (i) expenses incurred in connection with registering additional Shares of a Fund or offering Shares of a Fund; (ii) the routine expenses associated with the preparation and, if required, the printing and mailing of monthly, quarterly, annual and other reports required by applicable U.S. federal and state regulatory authorities, Trust meetings and preparing, printing and mailing proxy statements to Shareholders; (iii) the routine services of the Trustee, legal counsel and independent accountants; (iv) routine accounting, bookkeeping, custodial and transfer agency services, whether performed by an outside service provider or by affiliates of the Sponsor; (v) postage and insurance; (vi) costs and expenses associated with client relations and services; (vii) costs of preparation of all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns and any taxes payable on the income, assets or operations of a Fund. While the Sponsor has agreed to pay registration fees to the SEC and any other regulatory agency in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares offered through each Fund’s prospectus, the legal, printing, accounting and other expenses associated with such registration, each Fund will be responsible for any registration fees and related expenses incurred in connection with any future offer and sale of Shares of the Fund in excess of those offered through its prospectus. Any general expenses of the Trust will be allocated among the Funds and any other series of the Trust as determined by the Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion. The Trust is also responsible for extraordinary expenses, including, but not limited to, legal claims and liabilities and litigation costs and any indemnification related thereto. The Trust and/or the Sponsor may be required to indemnify the Trustee, Distributor or Administrator under certain circumstances. The parties cannot anticipate the amount of payments that will be required under these arrangements for future periods as the NAV and trading levels to meet investment objectives for the Funds will not be known until a future date. These agreements are effective for a specific term agreed upon by the parties with an option to renew, or, in some cases, are in effect for the duration of a Fund’s existence. The parties may terminate these agreements earlier for certain reasons listed in the agreements. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Not applicable to Smaller Reporting Companies. Item 4. Controls and Procedures Disclosure Controls and Procedures The Trust and the Funds maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in the Trust’s periodic reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. The duly appointed officers of the Sponsor, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Trust’s and the Funds’ disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures of the Trust and the Funds have been effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There were no changes in the Trust’s or either Fund’s internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Trust’s or the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. 49 Part II.
