The decrease in the Trust’s net asset value was partially offset by a net increase in net assets resulting from operations.

The 8.27% increase in the NAV from $20.08 at December 31, 2023 to $21.74 at December 31, 2024 is directly related to the 3.79% increase in the settlement price for the Index Futures. The NAV increased more than the settlement price for the Index Futures on a percentage basis due to the interest income from U.S. Treasury bills.

Current wording

Outstanding Shares in the Trust grew from 150,000 Shares at July 10, 2006 to 44,500,000 Shares at December 31, 2024.
Previous wording
The Trust’s assets as of December 31, 2023 consist of Index Futures and Collateral Assets used to satisfy applicable margin requirements for those Index Futures positions. 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. Interest earned on the assets posted as collateral is paid to the Trust and is used to pay the Sponsor’s Fees and purchase additional Index Futures and Collateral Assets, or, in the discretion of the Sponsor, distributed to Shareholders. For the year ended December 31, 2023, interest income was $52,559,888, while the Sponsor’s Fees totaled $8,046,692. For the year ended December 31, 2022, interest income was $22,306,078, while the Sponsor’s Fees totaled $13,482,545. For the year ended December 31, 2021, interest income was $426,034, while the Sponsor’s Fees totaled $9,465,137. 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. In the case of an extraordinary expense and/or insufficient interest income to cover ordinary expenses, however, the Trust could be forced to liquidate its positions in Index Futures and Collateral Assets to pay such expenses. As of December 31, 2023, the market for Index Futures had not developed significant liquidity and the Trust represented substantially all of the long-side open interest in Index Futures. In addition, it is expected that Goldman Sachs or its accountholders may represent, directly or indirectly, a substantial portion of the short-side interest in such market.
