Previous wording

The Trustee values the Trust’s long positions in Index Futures on the basis of that day’s settlement prices for the Index Futures held by the Trust as announced by the applicable Exchange. The value of the Trust’s positions in any particular Index Futures contract equals the product of (1) the number of such Index Futures contracts owned by the Trust, (2) the settlement price of such Index Futures contract on the date of calculation and (3) the multiplier of such Index Futures contract. If there is no announced settlement price for a particular Index Futures contract on a Business Day, the Trustee uses the most recently announced settlement price unless the Trustee, in consultation with the Sponsor, determines that such price is inappropriate as a basis for valuation. The daily settlement price for each Index Futures contract currently held by the Trust is established on each trading day, generally at 2:40 p.m. (New York time), by the CME Group Inc., and its designed contract markets, including the CME, CBOT (Board of Trade of the City of Chicago, Inc.), NYMEX (New York Mercantile Exchange), COMEX and KCBT (the “CME Group”) staff.

The increase in the Trust’s net asset value resulted primarily from a net increase in net assets resulting from operations. The increase in the Trust’s net asset value was partially offset by a net decrease in the number of outstanding Shares, which fell from 43,500,000 Shares at June 30, 2025 to 43,400,000 Shares at September 30, 2025, a consequence of 3,650,000 Shares (73 Baskets) being created and 3,750,000 Shares (75 Baskets) being redeemed during the quarter.

Previous wording

The 3.81% increase in the NAV from $22.06 at June 30, 2025 to $22.90 at September 30, 2025 is directly related to the 2.98% 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

The 39.58% increase in the NAV from $23.09 at December 31, 2025 to $32.23 at March 31, 2026 is directly related to the 38.77% 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.

Previous wording

The net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was $38,642,473, resulting from a net realized and unrealized gain of $29,859,648 and a net investment income of $8,782,825. For the quarter ended September 30, 2025, the Trust had a net realized and unrealized gain of $64,024 on short-term investments and a net realized and unrealized gain of $29,795,624 on futures contracts. Other than the Sponsor’s fees of $1,905,877 and brokerage commissions and fees of $147,798, the Trust had no expenses during the quarter.

Current wording

The net increase in net assets resulting from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $316,711,031, resulting from a net investment income of $6,758,269 and a net realized and unrealized gain of $309,952,762.

Other than the Sponsor’s fee of $1,774,798 and brokerage commissions and fees of $122,594, the Trust had no expenses during the quarter.

Previous wording

The Trust’s assets as of September 30, 2025 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. 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 September 30, 2025, 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 & Co. LLC or its accountholders may represent, directly or indirectly, a substantial portion of the short-side interest in such market. The existence of such a limited number of market participants could cause or exacerbate losses to the Trust if the Trust were required to liquidate its Index Futures positions.
