−Removed: The increase in the Trust’s net asset value was also affected by a net increase in net assets resulting from operations.
−Removed: The 4.65% increase in the NAV from $21.74 at December 31, 2024 to $22.75 at March 31, 2025 is directly related to the 3.78% increase in the settlement price for the Index Futures.
−Removed: The NAV increased more than the settlement price for the Index Futures on a percentage basis due to the interest income from U.S.
−Removed: Treasury bills.
−Removed: The net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 was $45,558,944, resulting from a net realized and unrealized gain of $36,535,310 and a net investment income of $9,023,634.
−Removed: For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Trust had a net realized and unrealized loss of $260,777 on short-term investments and a net realized and unrealized gain of $36,796,087 on futures contracts.

−Removed: The Trust’s assets as of March 31, 2025 consist of Index Futures and Collateral Assets used to satisfy applicable margin requirements for those Index Futures positions.
−Removed: The Trust does not anticipate any further need for liquidity, because creations and redemptions of Shares generally occur in-kind and ordinary expenses are met by cash on hand.

−Removed: In exchange for a fee based on the net asset value of the Trust, the Sponsor has assumed most of the ordinary expenses incurred by the Trust.

−Removed: The Sponsor is unaware of any other trends, demands, conditions or events that are reasonably likely to result in material changes to the Trust’s liquidity needs.
−Removed: Because the Trust trades Index Futures, its capital is at risk due to changes in the value of the Index Futures or other assets (market risk) or the inability of counterparties to perform (credit risk).
−Removed: The Trust holds Index Futures positions and Collateral Assets to satisfy applicable margin requirements on those Index Futures positions.
−Removed: Because of this limited diversification of the Trust’s assets, fluctuations in the value of the Index Futures are expected to directly affect the value of the Shares.
−Removed: The value of the Index Futures is expected to track generally the S&P GSCI-ER, although this correlation may not be exact.
−Removed: The S&P GSCI-ER, in turn, reflects the value of a diversified group of commodities.
−Removed: The Trust’s exposure to market risk will be influenced by a number of factors, including the lack of liquidity of the Index Futures market and activities of other market participants.
