FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 AND 2024

Current report

Returns for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024

Current report

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the NYSE Arca market value of each Share increased from $18.62 per Share to $19.01 per Share. The Share price low and high for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and related change from the Share price on June 30, 2025 was as follows: Shares traded at a low of $18.50 per Share (-0.64%) on August 19, 2025, and a high of $20.04 per Share (+7.63%) on July 30, 2025. The total return for the Fund on a market value basis was +2.09%.

Current report

Energy commodities had a turbulent third quarter, but the Fund posted a slight gain in the third quarter 2025. Oil markets were pressured by concerns about an overhang as both non-OPEC supply and OPEC+ production continued to grow. However, these headwinds were balanced out by competing geopolitical effects, including U.S. tariff threats on India for purchases of Russian oil, strong summer driving demand, and healthy refining margins. Gasoline was the top performer, supported by tight supplies and seasonal demand, followed by NY Harbor ultra-low sulfur diesel (“ULSD”) which gained on seasonal low inventories. Natural gas, the only detractor for the Fund, was pressured by ample stockpiles and warmer weather but continued to fluctuate in wide ranges week to week.

Current report

Fund performance was nearly flat in the first three quarters of 2025, largely due to losses in crude oil. Prices fell throughout the first half of the year but pared some losses in the third quarter, as gains were limited as oil was caught between the prospects of a supply glut and flaring geopolitical risks. NY Harbor ULSD was the top contributor due to tighter supplies and resilient demand. Natural gas had a strong start to the year due to colder weather boosting heating demand and resilient LNG exports. While this trend was later reversed, it ended the period as the second largest contributor to Fund performance. Gasoline experienced losses in the second quarter, which were almost fully offset by the first quarter and the third quarter gains due to tighter inventory and seasonally strong travel demand, leaving year-to-date returns flat.

Returns for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

Previous report

Energy commodities struggled in the second quarter, with the Fund posting a loss as most components moved lower. Both Brent and WTI crude oil dropped, pressured by fresh Liberation Day tariffs, more OPEC+ production, and worries about global economic growth. The conflict between Iran and Israel, and later the U.S., pushed oil prices up in the first half of June, but the impact was short-lived given Iran’s more muted retaliatory response. Gasoline prices also fell, as supply stayed strong and demand eased after the spring peak season. Natural gas was also weak, with prices decreasing as storage levels rose and mild weather limited demand, even with some volatility from global headlines. The only bright spot was NY harbor ultra-low sulfur diesel, which managed a small gain thanks to tighter supplies and steady demand from the transport sector.

The total return for the Fund on a market value basis was +0.87%.

Previous report

Energy commodities generally moved lower in the second quarter of 2024, though natural gas was the surprising exception with front month prices rebounding sharply, up 48%. Warmer weather forecasts, falling U.S. rig counts and strong overall liquified natural gas (LNG) demand sparked a round of short coverings. On the other hand, crude oil and refined products like gasoline and NY Harbor Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) all moved lower. While some of it was driven by broader risk off sentiment due to the repeated delays of Federal Reserve rate cut expectations, other drivers included fading geopolitical risk premium, U.S. crude inventory builds due to unplanned refinery outages and unattractive refining margins, and OPEC announcing plans to gradually bring back barrels later this year.

Previous report

Energy markets had mixed results in the first half of 2025, though the Fund’s commodity holdings ended the period in negative territory. However, interest income from the Fund’s collateral holdings offset that, leading to a gain for the Fund for the period. The year started well, led by gains in natural gas as cold winter weather boosted heating demand and liquified natural gas export demand stayed strong. Gasoline also did well early on, helped by refinery maintenance and tighter inventory. Crude oil was volatile in the first quarter, moving with changing headlines, OPEC+ plans, and new sanctions, but ended the quarter flat. In the second quarter, momentum faded as the energy complex came under pressure. Both Brent and U.S. crude oil fell, weighed down by new tariffs, more OPEC+ output, and global growth concerns. While rising tensions in the Middle East led to an oil price spike in the first half of June, the geopolitical risk premium was quickly erased as the situation eased. Gasoline and natural gas also lost ground as supply outpaced demand and storage levels rose. NY harbor ultra-low sulfur diesel was the only area of strength, with a small gain from tighter supplies and steady demand.

Previous report

up around 15%. In addition to geopolitics, an improving macro backdrop amid a resilient U.S. economy, and expected Federal Reserve easing also supported broader risk assets like energy. However, this tailwind eased in the second quarter as the Federal Reserve stuck to its higher for longer rhetoric amid sticky inflation, weighing down the entire energy complex. Gasoline also gained following repeated attacks on Russia’s refinery infrastructure and tightening U.S. stockpiles ahead of the summer driving season. Natural gas was the laggard with front month prices dropping another 30% in the first quarter on ample inventories and warmer-than-usual weather. However, prices did make a strong comeback in May and the first half of June as forecasted heatwaves raised its demand outlook.
