+Added: of futures contracts on specified indexes (each a “Reference Index”) that measure prices for shipping crude oil (“Freight
+Added: Freight Futures reflect market expectations for the future cost of transporting crude oil.
+Added: Each Reference Index is published
+Added: each United Kingdom business day by the London-based Baltic Exchange Ltd.

+Added: TD3C Freight Futures contracts and 10 % exposure in TD20 Freight Futures contracts to maturity and settles them in cash.

+Added: When establishing positions in Freight Futures,
+Added: BWET will be required to deposit initial margin with a value of approximately 10 % to 40 % of the notional value of each Freight Futures
+Added: position at the time it is established.

+Added: investing in a futures contract position.
+Added: One factor that impacts the total return that will result from investing in near month futures
+Added: contracts and “rolling” those contracts forward each month is the price relationship between the current near month contract
+Added: and the next month contract.

−Removed: rates for dry bulk vessels are volatile and have declined significantly since their historic highs and may remain at low levels or decrease
−Removed: further in the future.
−Removed: Futures and options contracts have expiration
−Removed: Before or upon the expiration of a contract, BDRY may be required to enter into a replacement contract that is priced higher or
−Removed: that have less favorable terms than the contract being replaced (see “Negative Roll Risk,” below).
−Removed: The Freight Futures market
−Removed: settles in cash against published indices, so there is no physical delivery against the futures contracts.
−Removed: Similar to other futures contracts, the Freight
−Removed: Futures curve shape could be either in “contango” (where the futures curve is upward sloping with next futures price higher
−Removed: than the current one) or “backwardation” (where each the next futures price is lower than the current one).
−Removed: Contango curves

−Removed: the same lot size.
−Removed: That means there could be losses incurred when the contracts are rolled each period (“Negative Roll Risk”)

−Removed: the combined Russia/Ukraine region account for approximately one quarter of global grain production, one of the main cargoes transported
−Removed: by dry bulk vessels, while coal and iron ore exports out of the region have also been reduced.
−Removed: The above factors can have a material negative
−Removed: impact on demand for dry bulk transportation, while slower economic growth could also negatively affect demand for dry bulk commodities
−Removed: in the rest of the world, leading to lower dry bulk freight rates.
−Removed: The recent conflict between Russia and Ukraine is having a profound impact on global commodities prices including grain and coal, two
−Removed: of the most important commodities for dry bulk shipping.
−Removed: Given the importance of the region in export volumes for both grains and coal,
−Removed: a prolong stoppage could lead to significantly lower freight rates and thus a decline in freight futures prices and a decline in the value
−Removed: Although coal supplies could potentially be sourced from elsewhere partly mitigating the negative impact of the lost volumes,
−Removed: global grain production capacity is limited, and thus the impact of the lost volumes could not be easily mitigated.

+Added: Summary of Share Transactions for the Period from May 3, 2023 to June 30, 2023
+Added: Shares Redeemed
+Added: Investment Related Risk
+Added: NAV of each Fund’s shares relates directly to the value of the respective freight futures portfolio, cash and cash equivalents
+Added: held by each Fund.
+Added: Fluctuations in the prices of these assets could materially adversely affect the values and performance of an investment
+Added: in BDRY and BWET shares.
+Added: Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results;
+Added: all or substantially all of an investment
+Added: in BDRY or BWET could be lost.
+Added: NAV of BDRY and BWET shares relates directly to the value of the futures investments held by each Fund which are materially impacted
+Added: by fluctuations in changes in spot charter rates.
+Added: Charter rates for dry bulk vessels and crude oil tankers are volatile and have declined
+Added: significantly since their historic highs and may remain at low levels or decrease further in the future.
+Added: and options contracts have expiration dates.
+Added: Before or upon the expiration of a contract, BDRY and/or BWET may be required to enter into
+Added: replacement contracts that are priced higher or that have less favorable terms than the contracts being replaced (see “Negative
+Added: Roll Risk,” below).
+Added: The Freight Futures market settles in cash against published indices, so there is no physical delivery against
+Added: the futures contracts.
+Added: to other futures contracts, the Freight Futures curve shape could be either in “contango” (where the futures curve is upward
+Added: sloping with next futures price higher than the current one) or “backwardation” (where each the next futures price is lower
+Added: than the current one).
+Added: Contango curves are generally characterized by negative roll cost, as the expiring contract value is lower that
+Added: the next prompt contract value, assuming the same lot size.
+Added: That means there could be losses incurred when the contracts are rolled each
+Added: period (“Negative Roll Risk”) and such losses are independent of the Freight Futures price level.
+Added: Russia-Ukraine war poses an increasing risk for global economic growth.
+Added: Major economic sanctions against Russia are having a considerable
+Added: impact on oil and gas prices, given the dependence of the EU on oil and gas exports out of Russia combined with limited spare capacity
+Added: of such commodities globally.
+Added: Energy prices have increased significantly, leading to major inflationary pressures in the major developed
+Added: countries that rely heavily on oil and gas exports out of Russia.
+Added: In the case of BDRY, the combined Russia/Ukraine region account for
+Added: approximately one-quarter of global grain production, one of the main cargoes transported by dry bulk vessels, while coal and iron ore
+Added: exports out of the region have also been reduced.
+Added: The above factors can have a material negative impact on demand for dry bulk transportation,
+Added: while slower economic growth could also negatively affect demand for dry bulk commodities in the rest of the word, leading to lower dry
+Added: bulk freight rates.
+Added: conflict between Russia and Ukraine is having a profound impact on global commodities prices including grain and coal, two of the most
+Added: important commodities for dry bulk shipping.
+Added: Given the importance of the region in export volumes for both grains and coal, a prolonged
+Added: stoppage could lead to significantly lower freight rates and thus a decline in freight futures prices and a decline in the value of BDRY.
+Added: Although coal supplies could potentially be sourced from elsewhere partly mitigating the negative impact of the lost volumes, global
+Added: grain production capacity is limited, and thus the impact of the lost volumes could not be easily mitigated.
In addition, the recent
−Removed: geopolitical turmoil has led to an increase in government protectionism when it comes to commodities, and if such a trend continues, it
−Removed: could lead to lower bulk commodities trading globally over the long term.
−Removed: The impact of such a scenario on dry bulk shipping will be negative,
−Removed: leading to lower spot rates and as a result lower freight futures prices and a decline in the value of the Fund.
−Removed: (b) Liquidity Risk
−Removed: In certain circumstances, such as the disruption
−Removed: of the orderly markets for the futures contracts or Financial Instruments in which the Fund invests, the Fund might not be able to dispose
−Removed: of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent what the market value may have been in an orderly market.
−Removed: Futures and option
−Removed: positions cannot always be liquidated at the desired price.
−Removed: It is difficult to execute a trade at a specific price when there is a relatively
−Removed: small volume of buy and sell orders in a market.
−Removed: A market disruption can also make it difficult to liquidate a position.
−Removed: The large size
−Removed: of the positions that the Fund may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity both by making its positions more difficult to liquidate
−Removed: and by potentially increasing losses while trying to do so.
−Removed: Such a situation may prevent the Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains
−Removed: or achieving a high correlation with the Benchmark Portfolio.
−Removed: (c) Natural Disaster/Epidemic Risk
−Removed: Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes,
−Removed: fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and other severe weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease, including pandemics
−Removed: and epidemics (for example, the novel coronavirus COVID-19), have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and markets and have
−Removed: recently led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and significant market losses.
−Removed: Such natural disaster and health
−Removed: crises could exacerbate political, social, and economic risks previously mentioned, and result in significant breakdowns, delays, shutdowns,
−Removed: social isolation, and other disruptions to important global, local and regional supply chains affected, with potential corresponding
−Removed: results on the operating performance of the Fund and its investments.
−Removed: A climate of uncertainty and panic, including the contagion of
−Removed: infectious viruses or diseases, may adversely affect global, regional, and local economies and reduce the availability of potential investment
−Removed: opportunities, and increases the difficulty of performing due diligence and modeling market conditions, potentially reducing the accuracy
−Removed: of financial projections.
−Removed: Under these circumstances, the Fund may have difficulty achieving its investment objective which may adversely
−Removed: impact performance.
−Removed: Further, such events can be highly disruptive to economies and markets, significantly disrupt the operations of individual
−Removed: companies (including, but not limited to, the Fund’s Sponsor and third party service providers), sectors, industries, markets,
−Removed: securities and commodity exchanges, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting
−Removed: the value of the Fund’s investments.
−Removed: These factors can cause substantial market volatility.
−Removed: exchange trading suspensions and closures
−Removed: and can impact the ability of the Fund to complete redemptions and otherwise affect Fund performance and Fund trading in the secondary
−Removed: A widespread crisis may also affect the global economy in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen at the current time.
−Removed: such events will last and whether they will continue or recur cannot be predicted.
−Removed: Impacts from these events could have significant impact
−Removed: on the Fund’s performance, resulting in losses to the Fund.
−Removed: (d) Risk that Current Assumptions and Expectations Could Become
−Removed: Outdated as a Result of Global Economic Shocks
−Removed: The onset of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19)
−Removed: has caused significant shocks to global financial markets and economies, with many governments taking extreme actions to slow and contain
−Removed: the spread of COVID-19.
−Removed: These actions have had, and likely will continue to have, a severe economic impact on global economies as economic
−Removed: activity in some instances has essentially ceased at times.
−Removed: Financial markets across the globe are experiencing severe distress at least
−Removed: equal to what was experienced during the global financial crisis in 2008.
−Removed: The global economic shocks being experienced as of the date
−Removed: hereof may cause the underlying assumptions and expectations of the Fund to become outdated quickly or inaccurate, resulting in significant
+Added: geopolitical turmoil has led to an increase in government protectionism when it comes to commodities, and if such a trend continues,
+Added: it could lead to lower bulk commodities trading globally over the long term.
+Added: The impact of such a scenario on dry bulk shipping will
+Added: be negative, leading to lower spot rates and as a result lower freight futures prices and a decline in the value of BDRY.
+Added: the case of BWET, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has also had a profound impact on oil prices and as a result on tanker rates
+Added: and might continue to impact the level of tanker rates for years to come.
+Added: Russia accounts for more than 10 % of global oil production.
+Added: Sanctions put in place to limit the exports of crude oil and refined products from Russia has caused a reshuffling in tanker trade patterns
+Added: and has led to increasing volatility in tanker freight rates.
+Added: With limited seaborne crude exports out of Russia, refiners and oil traders
+Added: have been seeking alternative sources for feedstock crude, causing major disruptions in the traditional crude oil trading patterns.
+Added: in tanker rates has increased, especially for tankers carrying refined products.
+Added: As volatility of spot charter rates increases, higher
+Added: trading volumes in freight futures would be expected as market participants tend to increase their hedging requirements.
+Added: oil price volatility has increased significantly, impacting tanker spot rate freight rates.
+Added: addition, The People’s Republic of China (“China”) accounts for a sizable part of oil demand, and changes in the economic
+Added: and political environment in China and policies adopted by the government to regulate its economy may have a material adverse effect
+Added: on tanker charter rates and as a result, Freight Futures.
+Added: Liquidity Risk
+Added: certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the futures contracts or Financial Instruments in which the
