Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Trust and the Fund maintain
disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Trust’s periodic
reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms for the Trust and the Fund
thereof.
Management of the Sponsor
of the Fund (“Management”), including Guillermo Trias, the Sponsor’s Principal Executive Officer and Ronnie Riven,
the Sponsor’s Principal Financial Officer, who perform functions equivalent to those of a principal executive officer and
principal financial officer of the Trust if the Trust had any officers, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation
of the Trust and the Fund’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d- 15(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report, and, based
upon that evaluation, concluded that the Trust’s and the Fund’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as
of the end of such period, to ensure that information the Trust is required to disclose in the reports that it files or submits
with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s
rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Trust in the reports that it files or submits under
the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management of the Sponsor, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. The scope of the evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and
procedures covers the Trust, as well as separately for the Fund.
The certifications of the Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer are applicable to the Fund as well as the Trust as a whole.
