Movements in the Price of the Canadian Dollar The investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the price in USD of the Canadian Dollar plus accrued interest, if any, less the expenses of the Trust’s operations. The Shares are intended to provide institutional and retail investors with a simple, cost-effective means of gaining investment benefits similar to those of holding Canadian Dollars. Each outstanding Share represents a proportional interest in the Canadian Dollars held by the Trust. The following chart provides recent trends on the price of the Canadian Dollar. The chart illustrates movements in the price of the Canadian Dollar in USD and is based on the Closing Spot Rate: 10 NAV per Share; Valuation of the Canadian Dollar The following chart illustrates the movement in the price of the Shares based on (1) NAV per Share, (2) the “bid” and “ask” midpoint offered on NYSE Arca and (3) the Closing Spot Rate, expressed as a multiple of 100 Canadian Dollars: Liquidity and Capital Resources The Sponsor is not aware of any known trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in, or are reasonably likely to result in, material changes to the Trust’s liquidity and capital resources needs. The Trust’s Depository, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch, maintains two deposit accounts for the Trust, a primary deposit account that may earn interest and a secondary deposit account that does not earn interest. Interest on the primary deposit account, if any, accrues daily and is paid monthly. The interest rate in effect as of December 31, 2022 was an annual nominal rate of 1.80%. The following chart provides the daily rate paid by the Depository since December 31, 2017: 11 In exchange for a fee, the Sponsor bears most of the expenses incurred by the Trust. As a result, the only ordinary expense of the Trust during the period covered by this report was the Sponsor’s fee. Each month the Depository deposits into the secondary deposit account accrued but unpaid interest, if any, and the Trustee withdraws Canadian Dollars from the secondary deposit account to pay the accrued Sponsor’s fee for the previous month plus other Trust expenses, if any. When the interest deposited, if any, exceeds the sum of the Sponsor’s fee for the prior month plus other Trust expenses, if any, the Trustee converts the excess into USD at the prevailing market rate and distributes the USD as promptly as practicable to Shareholders on a pro-rata basis (in accordance with the number of Shares that they own). Distributions paid during the current reporting period follow (annualized yield reflects the estimated annual yield an investor would receive if a monthly distribution stayed the same for the entire year going forward, and is calculated by annualizing the monthly distribution and dividing by the Trust NAV for the dates listed below): FXC Distribution History Date Value NAV Yield Annualized Yield 10/3/2022 $ 0.03576 $ 71.17 0.05 % 0.61 % 11/1/2022 $ 0.06321 $ 71.71 0.09 % 1.04 % 12/1/2022 $ 0.08359 $ 72.17 0.12 % 1.41 % Results of Operations During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Trust’s net comprehensive income (loss) was, in part, impacted by market volatility and uncertainty caused by the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19, which is considered to be an unusual or infrequent event. Although the full and direct impact of COVID-19 on the Trust’s net comprehensive income (loss) during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 cannot be known, it is believed that COVID-19 has impacted the Closing Spot Rate, the interest rate paid by the Depository, and the global economy and markets generally, including the number of Shares created and redeemed by the Trust. The Canadian Dollar (CAD/USD) posted a loss in 2022. As the only G10 currency to gain against the US dollar in 2021, the CAD continued its positive performance through the first quarter of the year, benefiting from surging oil prices resulting from the war in Ukraine and anticipation for more hawkish monetary policies from the Bank of Canada. However, dollar strength in Q2 and Q3 amid growing recession fears, boosting safe haven demand, and a more hawkish U.S. Federal Reserve System (the “Fed”) heavily weighed on the currency pair, while falling crude oil prices removed the soft floor for the CAD. Though prices rebounded a bit in Q4 amid easing dollar pressure, it wasn’t enough to fully counter earlier losses. 2021 was a positive year for the Canadian Dollar (CAD/USD), closing out as the only G10 currency to have advanced against the U.S. Dollar, which posted its best year since 2015. CAD/USD strength was bolstered by the Canadian economy's strong economic rebound and market expectations that the Bank of Canada would be one of the most aggressive among the G10 countries in tightening monetary policy in 2022, potentially even surpassing the Fed. Strengthening energy prices throughout the year also provided a boost for the currency pair, as oil is one of Canada’s major exports. Additionally, the interest rate paid by the Depository has generally trended downward over the past several years, slightly offset by improvements this year to the current interest rate of 1.80%, as set forth in the FXC Rate Chart above. As long as the Sponsor’s fee and the interest expense on currency deposits, if any, exceed interest income, the Trust will incur a net comprehensive loss. Critical Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Sponsor’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period covered by this report. In addition to the description below, please refer to Note 3 to the financial statements for further discussion of our accounting policies. The functional currency of the Trust is the Canadian Dollar in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation.
