Current report

The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing in a portfolio of exchange-traded futures on commodities in the base metals sector. The Index Sponsor selects and weights commodities in the Index on an annual basis based on (i) the value and liquidity of the market for associated commodity futures contracts and (ii) their production volume (in order to factor in the relative importance of the commodity in the global economy).

Current report

Commodity futures quoted in U.S. Dollars and listed on major U.S. and European exchanges are eligible for inclusion in the Index. Eligible commodities are selected based on their Three-Year Total Dollar Volume Average (i.e., commodities are initially screened for inclusion based on their relative three-year “Total Dollar Volume” traded, which is calculated by multiplying the total volume of futures traded during the last one-year period by the average close price of the front month contract on each month end during that one-year period). Each commodity’s three-year Total Dollar Volume traded is calculated in proportion to the three-year Total Dollar Volume traded of all commodities within its sector to determine its initial sector liquidity rate. A commodity with a proportionate weight of less than 2% (or 1.5% for a commodity included at the last rebalance) within its sector is excluded from the Index. Each remaining commodity’s three-year Total Dollar Volume traded is calculated in proportion to the three-year Total Dollar Volume traded of all eligible commodities (“Filtered Commodity Weight”).

Current report

Commodity weights in the Index are determined by the Parent Index. The Parent Index determines production weights for each eligible commodity based on the total dollar amount of the commodity produced within the year in proportion to the sum of the production dollar amounts within the industrial metals sector (“Production Weights”). The weight of each commodity in the Index is generally based on the average of the Filtered Commodity Weight and the Production Weight, subject to the subject to the requirement that each commodity must have an allocation within the Index of no less than 5%.

Current report

The Index is rebalanced annually on the sixth business day in November. However, during periods of heightened volatility or when commodity prices experience significant movements, the commodities weights within the Index may be reset or reduced based on the weight implemented at the previous annual rebalance.

Current report

Performance information included herein prior to November 10, 2025 may have differed had the new methodology been in place.

Current report

The Fund ended 2025 with strong returns of 25%. Copper was the strongest performer, supported by tariff‑driven frontloading into the U.S. that tightened ex‑U.S. inventories, a weaker U.S. dollar, and mine disruptions in Chile and Indonesia during the third quarter. Copper’s demand outlook also improved, helped by higher global spending plans across defense, energy, and technology. These factors lifted overall base metals sentiment, while gradually recovering industrial activity and a resilient global economy added further support. Aluminum also posted significant gains on mounting supply‑shortage concerns, particularly due to China’s production cap. Zinc underperformed, pressured by near‑term oversupply in China as production capacity expanded despite weak domestic demand, but rebounded to end the year, ending as a contributor. The metal, primarily used to galvanize steel for construction and manufacturing, continued to face headwinds as these sectors lagged in China.
Removed paragraphs (1)

Previous report

Industrial metals ended 2023 with negative performance. For the first quarter, while all of the Fund’s components rallied in January, continuing its China and “Fed-pivot” driven rally from year-end 2022, prices eased through February and the first half of March, pressured by hotter-than-expected labor data, resilient US inflation and a lack of bullish data out of China to support the reopening story. A broader risk-off move triggered by the turmoil in the banking sector also pressured the commodities in general to end the quarter. However, in the second quarter, continued disappointing Chinese data, coupled with expectations for smelter restarts amid weak energy prices and easing supply concerns, dealt a heavy blow to base metals, especially Zinc. While the sector recovered a bit in the latter half of the year on improving macro sentiment, renewed supply concerns, and Chinese stimulus hopes, triggering a short covering rally, it still fell short of reversing second quarter’s losses.

Previous wording

The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing in a portfolio of exchange-traded commodity futures contracts that expire in a specific month and trade on a specific exchange (the “Index Contracts”) in the Index Commodities. The notional amounts of each Index Commodity included in the Index are broadly in proportion to historic levels of the world’s production and stocks of the Index Commodities. The Fund also holds United States Treasury Obligations and T-Bill ETFs, if any, for deposit with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, the Fund’s commodity broker (the “Commodity Broker”) as margin, to the extent permissible under CFTC rules and United States Treasury Obligations, cash, money market mutual funds and T-Bill ETFs (affiliated or otherwise), if any, on deposit with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Custodian”), for cash management purposes.

Previous wording

When the Fund enters into futures contracts, the Fund is exposed to credit risk that the counterparty to the contract will not meet its obligations. The counterparty for futures contracts traded on United States and on most foreign futures exchanges is the clearing house associated with the particular exchange. In general, clearing houses are backed by their corporate members who may be required to share in the financial burden resulting from the nonperformance by one of their members and, as such, is designed to disperse and mitigate the credit risk posed by any one member. In cases where the clearing house is not backed by the clearing members (i.e., some foreign exchanges), it may be backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions. There can be no assurance that any counterparty, clearing member or clearinghouse will meet its obligations to the Fund.

Previous wording

The Fund’s entire source of capital is derived from the Fund’s offering of Shares to Authorized Participants. The Fund in turn allocates its net assets to commodity futures trading. A significant portion of the NAV is held in United States Treasury Obligations, which may be used as margin for the Fund’s trading in commodity futures contracts and United States Treasury Obligations, money market mutual funds, cash and T-Bill ETFs, if any, which may be used for cash management purposes. The percentage that United States Treasury Obligations bear to the total net assets will vary from period to period as the market values of the Fund’s commodity interests change. A portion of the Fund’s United States Treasury Obligations is held for deposit with the Commodity Broker to meet margin requirements. All remaining cash, money market mutual funds, T-Bill ETFs, if any, and United States Treasury Obligations are on deposit with the Custodian. Interest earned on the Fund’s interest-bearing funds and dividends from the Fund’s holdings of money market mutual funds are paid to the Fund. Any dividends or distributions of capital gains received from the Fund’s holdings of T-Bill ETFs, if any, are paid to the Fund.

Previous wording

Industrial metals ended 2024 higher, largely thanks to gains in zinc, though copper also contributed. Both metals were supported by shortfalls in concentrate supplies and plunging treatment and refining charges (i.e., the profit for smelters to refine the metal), forcing cutbacks in refined metal supply. Aluminum was the weakest of the three industrial metals but still exhibited slight gains on tightening physical fundamentals. Other drivers of positive performance included fresh US and UK sanctions on Russian copper, aluminum, and nickel in April, an improving macroeconomic backdrop leading into the Federal Reserve interest rate easing in September, and optimism around China’s stimulus measures. However, US dollar strength and tariff concerns added some pressure on the metals to end the year.
