Current report

The Trust’s net asset value increased from $967,549,530 at December 31, 2024 to $1,081,674,701 at December 31, 2025. The increase in the Trust’s net asset value resulted primarily from a net increase in the number of outstanding Shares, which rose from 44,500,000 Shares at December 31, 2024 to 46,850,000 Shares at December 31, 2025, a consequence of 17,800,000 Shares (356 Baskets) being created and 15,450,000 Shares (309 Baskets) being redeemed during the year. The increase in the Trust’s net asset value also benefited from a net increase in net assets resulting from operations.

Current report

The 6.21% increase in the NAV from $21.74 at December 31, 2024 to $23.09 at December 31, 2025 is directly related to the 2.76% 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 report

The net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $56,966,505, resulting from a net investment income of $34,251,853 and a net realized and unrealized gain of $22,714,652.

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

Current wording

Previous wording

The Trust’s assets as of December 31, 2024 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, 2024, interest income was $51,251,135, while the Sponsor’s Fees totaled $7,367,043. 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. 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, 2024, 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.
