Portfolio Rebalancing
Since July 1, 2022, the Fund Components have consisted of the digital assets that make up the DLCS, as rebalanced from time to time, subject to the Manager’s discretion to exclude individual digital assets in certain cases.
−Removed: The DLCS is designed and managed by the Index Provider.
−Removed: The process followed by the Index Provider to determine the digital assets included in the DLCS and their respective weightings in the DLCS is referred to as the “DLCS Methodology.” Through the DLCS Methodology, the Fund seeks to (i) provide large-cap coverage of the digital asset market;
+Added: Effective June 5, 2025, the Index Provider changed the DLCS to the CD5.
+Added: As a result, effective June 5, 2025, the Fund Components will consist of the digital assets that make up the CD5, as rebalanced from time to time, subject to the Manager’s discretion to exclude individual digital assets in certain rules-based circumstances.
+Added: The CD5 is designed and managed by the Index Provider.
+Added: The change from DLCS to CD5 on June 5, 2025 had no impact on the Fund Components or the respective weightings.
+Added: The process followed by the Index Provider to determine the digital assets included in the CD5 and their respective weightings in the CD5 is referred to as the “CD5 Methodology.” Through the CD5 Methodology, the Fund seeks to (i) provide large-cap coverage of the digital asset market;
(ii) minimize transaction costs through low turnover of the Fund’s portfolio;
and (iii) create a portfolio that could be replicated through direct purchases in the Digital Asset Market.
−Removed: Effective July 1, 2022, the Index Provider reviews the DLCS for rebalancing according to the DLCS Methodology quarterly during a period beginning 14 days before the second business day of each January, April, July, and October (each such period, an “Index Rebalancing Period”).
−Removed: At the start of each Index Rebalancing Period, the Index Provider applies the DLCS Methodology to determine any changes to the Index Components and the respective weightings of the Index Components within DLCS, as determined by the Index Provider based on market capitalization criteria (the “Index Weightings”), after which the Manager rebalances the Fund’s portfolio accordingly, subject to application of the Exclusion Criteria.
−Removed: In order to rebalance the Fund’s portfolio, the Manager will (i) determine whether any Fund Components have been removed from the DLCS and should therefore be removed as Fund Components, (ii) determine whether any new digital assets have been added to the DLCS and should therefore be included as Fund Components, and (iii) determine how much cash and Forked Assets the Fund holds.
−Removed: If a Fund Component is no longer included in the DLCS, the Manager will adjust the Fund’s portfolio by selling such Fund Component in the Digital Asset Markets in proportion to their respective weightings in the Fund (“Weightings”) and using the cash proceeds to purchase additional tokens of the remaining Fund Components and, if applicable, any new Fund Component in proportion to their respective Weightings.
−Removed: The Weightings of each Fund Component are generally expected to be the same as the weighting of each digital asset in the DLCS except when the Manager determines to exclude one or more digital assets included in the DLCS from the Fund Components, in which case the Weightings are generally expected to be calculated proportionally to the respective Index Weightings for the remaining Index Components.
−Removed: If a digital asset not then included in the Fund’s portfolio is newly eligible for inclusion in the Fund’s portfolio because it was added to the DLCS and not excluded through the Exclusion Criteria, the Manager will adjust the Fund’s portfolio by selling tokens of the then-current Fund Components in the Digital Asset Markets in proportion to their respective Weightings and using the cash proceeds to purchase tokens of the newly eligible digital assets.
−Removed: The Manager will rebalance the Fund’s portfolio quarterly during a period beginning on the second business day of each January, April, July and October (each such period, a “Fund Rebalancing Period”).
+Added: Effective June 5, 2025, the Index Provider reviews the CD5 for rebalancing according to the CD5 Methodology quarterly during a period beginning 30 days before the last business day of each January, April, July, and October (each such period, an “Index Rebalancing Period”).
+Added: At the start of each Index Rebalancing Period, the Index Provider applies the CD5 Methodology to determine any changes to the Index Components and the respective weightings of the Index Components within CD5, as determined by the Index Provider based on market capitalization criteria (the “Index Weightings”), after which the Manager rebalances the Fund’s portfolio accordingly, subject to application of the Exclusion Criteria.
+Added: In order to rebalance the Fund’s portfolio, the Manager will (i) determine whether any Fund Components have been removed from the CD5 and should therefore be removed as Fund Components, (ii) determine whether any new digital assets have been added to the CD5 and should therefore be included as Fund Components, and (iii) determine how much cash and Forked Assets the Fund holds.
+Added: If a Fund Component is no longer included in the CD5, the Manager will adjust the Fund’s portfolio by selling such Fund Component in the Digital Asset Markets in proportion to their respective Fund Weightings in the Fund (“Fund Weightings”) and using the cash proceeds to purchase additional tokens of the remaining Fund Components and, if applicable, any new Fund Component in proportion to their respective weightings.
+Added: The Fund Weightings of each Fund Component are generally expected to be the same as the weighting of each digital asset in the CD5 except when the Manager exercises its limited discretion to exclude one or more digital assets included in the CD5 from the Fund Components in certain rules-based circumstances, in which case the Fund Weightings are generally expected to be calculated proportionally to the respective Index Weightings for the remaining Index Components.
+Added: If a digital asset not then included in the Fund’s portfolio is newly eligible for inclusion in the Fund’s portfolio because it was added to the CD5 and not excluded through the Exclusion Criteria, the Manager will adjust the Fund’s portfolio by selling tokens of the then-current Fund Components in the Digital Asset Markets in proportion to their respective Fund Weightings and using the cash proceeds to purchase tokens of the newly eligible digital assets.
+Added: From and after June 5, 2025, the Manager will rebalance the Fund’s portfolio quarterly during a period beginning on the last business day of each January, April, July and October (each such period, a “Fund Rebalancing Period”).
The Manager expects each Fund Rebalancing Period to last between one and five business days.
−Removed: The DLCS, and therefore the Fund, may also be rebalanced mid-quarter, prior to the Index Rebalancing Period under extraordinary circumstances, if, for example, a digital asset is removed from the Index.
