−Removed: The Fund receives or pays the proceeds from shares sold or redeemed within three business days after the trade date of the purchase or redemption.
−Removed: The amounts due from Authorized Purchasers are reflected in the Fund’s statements of assets and liabilities as capital shares receivable.
−Removed: Amounts payable to Authorized Purchasers upon redemption are reflected in the Fund’s statements of assets and liabilities as payable for shares redeemed.
−Removed: As outlined in the most recent Form S- 1 filing, 50,000 shares represents two Redemption Baskets for the Fund and a minimum level of shares.
−Removed: If the Fund experienced redemptions that caused the number of Shares outstanding to decrease to the minimum level of Shares required to be outstanding, until the minimum number of Shares is again exceeded through the purchase of a new Creation Basket, there can be no more redemptions by an Authorized Purchaser.
−Removed: Allocation of Shareholder Income and Losses
−Removed: Profit or loss is allocated among the shareholders of the Fund in proportion to the number of shares each shareholder holds as of the close of each month. 
−Removed: Cash and Cash Equivalents
−Removed: Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with maturity dates of 90 days or less when acquired.
−Removed: The Trust reported its cash equivalents in the statements of assets and liabilities at market value, or at carrying amounts that approximate fair value, because of their highly liquid nature and short-term maturities.
−Removed: Each Fund that is a series of the Trust has the balance of its cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions.
−Removed: The Fund holds a balance in money market funds that is included in cash and cash equivalents on the statements of assets and liabilities.
−Removed: The Sponsor invests a portion of the available cash for the Funds in alternative demand deposit savings accounts, which is classified as cash and not as cash equivalents.
−Removed: Assets deposited with the bank may, at times, exceed federally insured limits.
−Removed: The Sponsor invests a portion of the available cash for the Funds in investment grade commercial paper with durations of 90 days or less, which is classified as a cash equivalent and is not FDIC insured.
−Removed: The Sponsor may invest a portion of the cash held by the broker in short term Treasury Bills as collateral for open futures contracts, which is classified as a cash equivalent and is not FDIC insured.

−Removed: Due from/to Broker
−Removed: The amount recorded by the Fund for the amount due from and to the clearing broker includes, but is not limited to, cash held by the broker, amounts payable to the clearing broker related to open transactions, payables for commodities futures accounts liquidating to an equity balance on the clearing broker’s records, and amounts of brokerage commissions paid and recognized as unrealized losses.
−Removed: Margin is the minimum amount of funds that must be deposited by a commodity interest trader with the trader’s broker to initiate and maintain an open position in futures contracts.
−Removed: A margin deposit acts to assure the trader’s performance of the futures contracts purchased or sold.
−Removed: Futures contracts are customarily bought and sold on initial margin that represents a very small percentage of the aggregate purchase or sales price of the contract.
−Removed: Because of such low margin requirements, price fluctuations occurring in the futures markets may create profits and losses that, in relation to the amount invested, are greater than customary in other forms of investment or speculation.
−Removed: As discussed below, adverse price changes in the futures contract may result in margin requirements that greatly exceed the initial margin.
−Removed: In addition, the amount of margin required in connection with a particular futures contract is set from time to time by the exchange on which the contract is traded and may be modified from time to time by the exchange during the term of the contract.
−Removed: Brokerage firms, such as the Fund’s clearing brokers, carrying accounts for traders in commodity interest contracts generally require higher amounts of margin as a matter of policy to further protect themselves.
−Removed: Over the counter trading generally involves the extension of credit between counterparties, so the counterparties may agree to require the posting of collateral by one or both parties to address credit exposure.
−Removed: When a trader purchases an option, there is no margin requirement;
−Removed: however, the option premium must be paid in full.
−Removed: When a trader sells an option, on the other hand, he or she is required to deposit margin in an amount determined by the margin requirements established for the underlying interest and, in addition, an amount substantially equal to the current premium for the option.
−Removed: The margin requirements imposed on the selling of options, although adjusted to reflect the probability that out-of-the-money options will not be exercised, can in fact be higher than those imposed in dealing in the futures markets directly.
−Removed: Complicated margin requirements apply to spreads and conversions, which are complex trading strategies in which a trader acquires a mixture of options positions and positions in the underlying interest.
−Removed: Ongoing or “maintenance”
−Removed: margin requirements are computed each day by a trader’s clearing broker.
−Removed: When the market value of a particular open futures contract changes to a point where the margin on deposit does not satisfy maintenance margin requirements, a margin call is made by the broker.
−Removed: If the margin call is not met within a reasonable time, the broker may close out the trader’s position.
−Removed: With respect to the Fund’s trading, the Fund (and not its shareholders personally) is subject to margin calls.
−Removed: Finally, many major U.S.
−Removed: exchanges have passed certain cross margining arrangements involving procedures pursuant to which the futures and options positions held in an account would, in the case of some accounts, be aggregated and margin requirements would be assessed on a portfolio basis, measuring the total risk of the combined positions. 
−Removed: Calculation of Net Asset Value
−Removed: The Fund’s NAV is calculated by:
−Removed: Taking the current market value of its total assets and
−Removed: Subtracting any liabilities.
−Removed: The administrator, Global Fund Services, calculates the NAV of the Fund once each trading day.
−Removed: It calculates the NAV as of the earlier of the close of the NYSE or 4:00 p.m.
−Removed: The NAV for a particular trading day is released after 4:15 p.m.
−Removed: In determining the value of Sugar Futures Contracts, the administrator uses the ICE closing price.
−Removed: The administrator determines the value of all other Fund investments as of the earlier of the close of the NYSE or 4:00 p.m.
−Removed: The value of over-the-counter sugar interests is determined based on the value of the commodity or futures contract underlying such sugar interest, except that a fair value may be determined if the Sponsor believes that the Fund is subject to significant credit risk relating to the counterparty to such sugar interest.
−Removed: For purposes of financial statements and reports, the Sponsor will recalculate the NAV where necessary to reflect the “fair value”
−Removed: of a Futures Contract when the Futures Contract closes at its price fluctuation limit for the day.
−Removed: Short term Treasury securities held by the Fund are valued by the administrator using values received from recognized third -party vendors and dealer quotes.
−Removed: NAV includes any unrealized profit or loss on open sugar interests and any other income or expense accruing to the Fund but unpaid or not received by the Fund.
−Removed: Sponsor Fee, Allocation of Expenses and Related Party Transactions
−Removed: The Sponsor is responsible for investing the assets of the Fund in accordance with the objectives and policies of the Fund.
−Removed: In addition, the Sponsor arranges for one or more third parties to provide administrative, custodial, accounting, transfer agency and other necessary services to the Trust and the Funds.
−Removed: In addition, the Sponsor has elected not to outsource services directly attributable to the Trust and the Funds such as accounting, financial reporting, regulatory compliance, and trading activities, which the Sponsor performs itself.
−Removed: In addition, the Fund is contractually obligated to pay a monthly management fee to the Sponsor, based on average daily net assets, at a rate equal to 1.00 % per annum.
−Removed: The Fund generally pays for all brokerage fees, taxes, and other expenses, including licensing fees for the use of intellectual property, registration or other fees paid to the SEC, FINRA, or any other regulatory agency in connection with the offer and sale of subsequent Shares after its initial registration and all legal, accounting, printing and other expenses associated therewith.
−Removed: The Fund also pays its portion of the fees and expenses associated with the Trust’s tax accounting and reporting requirements.
−Removed: Certain aggregate expenses common to all Funds within the Trust are allocated by the Sponsor to the respective Fund based on activity drivers deemed most appropriate by the Sponsor for such expenses, including but not limited to relative assets under management and creation order activity.
−Removed: These aggregate common expenses include, but are not limited to, legal, auditing, accounting and financial reporting, tax-preparation, regulatory compliance, trading activities, and insurance costs, as well as fees paid to the Distributor, which are included in the related line item in the statements of operations.
−Removed: A portion of these aggregate common expenses are related to the Sponsor or related parties of principals of the Sponsor;
−Removed: these are necessary services to the Funds, which are primarily the cost of performing accounting and financial reporting, regulatory compliance, and trading activities that are directly attributable to the Fund.
−Removed: Such expenses are primarily recorded as distribution and marketing fees in the financial statements of each Fund.

−Removed: Use of Estimates
−Removed: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S.
−Removed: GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of the revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
−Removed: Actual results could differ from those estimates.
−Removed: Fair Value –
−Removed: Definition and Hierarchy
−Removed: In accordance with U.S.
−Removed: GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
−Removed: In determining fair value, the Fund uses various valuation approaches.
−Removed: In accordance with U.S.
−Removed: GAAP, a fair value hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.
−Removed: Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund.
−Removed: Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
−Removed: The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
−Removed: Level 1 –
−Removed: Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
−Removed: Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 financial instruments.
−Removed: Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these financial instruments does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
−Removed: Level 2 –
−Removed: Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
−Removed: Level 3 –
−Removed: Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
−Removed: The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from financial instrument to financial instrument and is affected by a wide variety of factors including, the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction.
−Removed: To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment.
−Removed: Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined.
−Removed: Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the financial instruments existed.
−Removed: Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Fund in determining fair value is greatest for financial instruments categorized in Level 3.
−Removed: In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.
−Removed: In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy, within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. 
−Removed: Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure.
−Removed: Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Fund’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
−Removed: The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including periods of market dislocation.
−Removed: In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many financial instruments.
−Removed: This condition could cause a financial instrument to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.
−Removed: When such a situation exists on a quarter close, the Sponsor will calculate the NAV on a particular day using the Level 1 valuation but will later recalculate the NAV for the impacted Fund based upon the valuation inputs from these alternative verifiable sources (Level 2 or Level 3 ) and will report such NAV in its applicable financial statements and reports.
−Removed: On March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 , in the opinion of the Trust and the Fund, the reported value of the Sugar Futures Contracts traded on the ICE fairly reflected the value of the Sugar Futures Contracts held by the Fund, and no adjustments were necessary.
−Removed: The determination is made as of the settlement of the futures contracts on the last day of trading for the reporting period.
−Removed: In making the determination of a Level 1 or Level 2 transfer, the Fund considers the average volume of the specific underlying futures contracts traded on the relevant exchange for the periods being reported.
−Removed: For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022 , the Fund did not have any significant transfers between any of the levels of the fair value hierarchy.
−Removed: The Fund records its derivative activities at fair value.
−Removed: Gains and losses from derivative contracts are included in the statements of operations.
−Removed: Derivative contracts include futures contracts related to commodity prices.
−Removed: Futures, which are listed on a national securities exchange, such as the CBOT and the ICE, or reported on another national market, are generally categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
−Removed: OTC derivatives contracts (such as forward and swap contracts) which may be valued using models, depending on whether significant inputs are observable or unobservable, are categorized in Levels 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
−Removed: Expenses are recorded using the accrual method of accounting.
−Removed: Net Income (Loss) per Share
−Removed: Net income (loss) per share is the difference between the NAV per unit at the beginning of each period and at the end of each period.
−Removed: The weighted average number of units outstanding was computed for purposes of disclosing net income (loss) per weighted average unit.
−Removed: The weighted average units are equal to the number of units outstanding at the end of the period, adjusted proportionately for units created or redeemed based on the amount of time the units were outstanding during such period.
−Removed: New Accounting Pronouncements
−Removed: The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) issued ASU 2023 - 01, related to Leases –
−Removed: (Topic 842 ).
−Removed: The response to concerns about applying Topic 842 to related party arrangements between entities under common control.
−Removed: The update was adopted early for the quarter ended March 31, 2023;
−Removed: the adoption did not have a material impact on the financial statements and disclosures of the Trust or the Fund.
−Removed: The FASB issued ASU 2022 - 03, related to fair value measurement (Topic 820 ) of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions.
−Removed: Under the clarified guidance, contractual restrictions on the sale of an equity security are not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, are not considered in measuring fair value, however they do require disclosures.
−Removed: The amendment was adopted for the quarter ended June 30, 2022;
−Removed: the adoption did not have a material impact on the financial statements and disclosures of the Trust or the Fund.
−Removed: Note 4 –

−Removed: Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
−Removed: In the normal course of business, the Fund utilizes derivative contracts in connection with its proprietary trading activities.
−Removed: Investments in derivative contracts are subject to additional risks that can result in a loss of all or part of an investment.
−Removed: The Fund’s derivative activities and exposure to derivative contracts are classified by the following primary underlying risks:
−Removed: interest rate, credit, commodity price, and equity price risks.
−Removed: In addition to its primary underlying risks, the Fund is also subject to additional counterparty risk due to inability of its counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
−Removed: For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022 , the Fund invested only in commodity futures contracts.
−Removed: Futures Contracts
−Removed: The Fund is subject to commodity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives.
−Removed: A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date.
−Removed: The purchase and sale of futures contracts requires margin deposits with an FCM.
−Removed: Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund.
−Removed: Futures contracts may reduce the Fund’s exposure to counterparty risk since futures contracts are exchange-traded;
−Removed: and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as the counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
−Removed: The Commodity Exchange Act requires an FCM to segregate all customer transactions and assets from the FCM’s proprietary activities.
−Removed: A customer’s cash and other equity deposited with an FCM are considered commingled with all other customer funds subject to the FCM’s segregation requirements.
−Removed: In the event of an FCM’s insolvency, recovery may be limited to the Fund’s pro rata share of segregated customer funds available.
−Removed: It is possible that the recovery amount could be less than the total of cash and other equity deposited.
−Removed: The following table discloses information about offsetting assets and liabilities presented in the statements of assets and liabilities to enable users of these financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements for recognized assets and liabilities.
−Removed: These recognized assets and liabilities are presented as defined in FASB ASU No.
