Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Trust, Trust management has evaluated the effectiveness of the Trust’s and the Funds’ disclosure controls and procedures, and have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures of the Trust and the Funds (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)) were effective, as of March 31, 2025, including providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Trust files or submits under the 1934 Act on behalf of the Trust and the Funds is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the Trust as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Remediation of Previously Identified Material Weakness
To address the previously reported material weakness in internal control over financial reporting with respect to controls related to the classification of the components of the futures accounts, working with the Fund’s Administrator, we designed and implemented new control activities to enhance the procedures performed related to the classification of Futures Commission Merchant balances in the preparation of financial reports. During the first quarter of 2025, we successfully completed the testing of the new control activities and determined they have been appropriately designed and implemented, and that they operated effectively as of March 31, 2025, and were able to conclude that the previously identified material weakness has been remediated.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
