Market value per Share

is determined at the close of Cboe BZX and may be later than when the Funds’ NAV per Share is calculated.

Accordingly, the investment valuations

Investment Valuation

Short-term investments

are valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value for daily NAV purposes.

For financial reporting purposes, short-term investments

are valued at their market price using information provided by a third-party pricing service or market quotations.

In each of these situations,

valuations are typically categorized as Level I in the fair value hierarchy.

Derivatives (e.g., futures

contracts, options, swap agreements) are generally valued using independent sources and/or agreements with counterparties or other procedures

as determined by the Sponsor.

Futures contracts are generally valued at the last settled price on the applicable exchange on which that

future trades.

For financial reporting purposes, all futures contracts are generally valued at the last settled price.

Futures contracts

valuations are typically categorized as Level I in the fair value hierarchy.

Swap agreement valuations are typically categorized as Level

II in the fair value hierarchy.

The Sponsor may in its sole discretion choose to determine a fair value price as the basis for determining

the market value of such position.

Such fair value prices would generally be determined based on available inputs about the current value

of the underlying financial instrument or commodity and would be based on principles that the Sponsor deems fair and equitable so long

as such principles are consistent with industry standards.

The Sponsor may fair value an asset of a Fund pursuant to the policies the

Sponsor has adopted.

Depending on the source and relevant significance of valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified as Level

II or Level III in the fair value hierarchy.

Fair value pricing may

require subjective determinations about the value of an investment.

While the Funds’ policies are intended to result in a calculation

of its respective Fund’s NAV that fairly reflects investment values as of the time of pricing, such Fund cannot ensure that fair

values determined by the Sponsor or persons acting at their direction would accurately reflect the price that a Fund could obtain for

an investment if it were to dispose of that investment as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale).

used by such Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the investments were sold and the differences could be material

to the financial statements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Funds disclose the fair value of their

investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

The disclosure requirements

establish a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between:

(1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained

from sources independent of the Funds (observable inputs);

and (2) the Funds’ own assumptions about market participant assumptions

developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs).

The three levels defined by the disclosure

requirements hierarchy are as follows:

Level I – Quoted prices (unadjusted)

in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level II – Inputs other than

quoted prices included within Level I that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level II assets include

the following:

quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities

in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived

principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs).

Level III – Unobservable pricing

input at the measurement date for the asset or liability.

Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable

inputs are not available.

In some instances, the inputs used to measure

fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value

measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest input level that is significant to the fair value measurement in its

Fair value measurements also require additional

disclosure when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased, as well as when circumstances

indicate that a transaction is not orderly.

III – Unobservable pricing input at the measurement date for the asset or liability.

Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure

fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

some instances, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy.

The level in the fair

value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest input level that is significant

to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

value measurements also require additional disclosure when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly

decreased, as well as when circumstances indicate that a transaction is not orderly.

recognized on a half-turn basis (e.g., the first half is recognized when the contract is purchased (opened) and the second half is recognized

when the transaction is closed).

The Sponsor is currently paying brokerage commissions on VIX futures contracts for the Funds that exceed

variable create/redeem fees collected by more than 0.04 % and 0.09 %, for SVIX and UVIX, respectively, of each Fund’s average net assets annually.

rather, each beneficial owner of a Fund’s Shares is required to take into account its

allocable share of its Fund’s income, gain, loss, deductions and other items for its Fund’s taxable year ending with or within

the beneficial owner’s taxable year.

Management of the Funds

has reviewed all open tax years and major jurisdictions (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable)

and concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken

or expected to be taken in future tax returns.

The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that

the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

On an ongoing basis, management monitors

its tax positions taken under the interpretation to determine if adjustments to conclusions are necessary based on factors including,

but not limited to, on-going analysis of tax law, regulation, and interpretations thereof.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS

Short-Term Investments

The Funds may purchase

Treasury Bills, agency securities, and other high-credit quality short-term fixed income or similar securities with original maturities

of one year or less.

A portion of these investments may be posted as collateral in connection with swap agreements, futures, and/or forward

Accounting for Derivative Instruments

In seeking to achieve

each Fund’s investment objective, the Sponsor uses a mathematical approach to investing.

Using this approach, the Sponsor determines

the type, quantity and mix of investment positions, including derivative positions, which the Sponsor believes in combination, should

produce returns consistent with a Fund’s objective.

All open derivative positions

at period end are reflected on each respective Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Certain Funds utilized a varying level of derivative

instruments in conjunction with investment securities in seeking to meet their investment objectives during the period.

While the volume

of open positions may vary on a daily basis as each Fund transacts derivatives contracts in order to achieve the appropriate exposure

to meet its investment objective, the volume of these open positions relative to the net assets of each respective Fund at the date of

this report is generally representative of open positions throughout the reporting period.

Following is a description

of the derivative instruments used by the Funds during the reporting period, including the primary underlying risk exposures related to

each instrument type.

Futures Contracts

The Funds may enter into

futures contracts to gain exposure to changes in the value of, or as a substitute for investing directly in (or shorting), an underlying

A futures contract obligates the seller to deliver (and the purchaser to accept) the future delivery of a specified quantity

and type of asset at a specified time and place.

The contractual obligations of a buyer or seller may generally be satisfied by taking

or making physical delivery of the underlying commodity, if applicable, or by making an offsetting sale or purchase of an identical futures

contract on the same or linked exchange before the designated date of delivery, or by cash settlement at expiration of contract.

Upon entering into a futures

contract, each Fund is required to deposit and maintain as collateral at least such initial margin as required by the exchange on which

the transaction is affected.

The initial margin is segregated as cash and/or securities balances with brokers for futures contracts, as

disclosed in the Statements of Financial Condition, and is restricted as to its use.

The Funds that enter into futures contracts maintain

collateral at the broker in the form of cash and/or securities.

Pursuant to the futures contract, each Fund generally agrees to receive

from or pay to the broker(s) an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the futures contract.

Such receipts or payments

are known as variation margin and are recorded by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses.

Each Fund will realize a gain or loss upon

closing of a futures transaction.
