Fund Description
The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks capital appreciation by investing primarily in agricultural commodities futures contracts traded on the Chicago Board of Trade (“CBOT”) or Intercontinental Exchange Inc. (“ICE”). The Fund’s portfolio holdings will consist of four commodities futures holdings, one in each of the following commodities: corn, wheat, soybeans, and sugar (each, a “Component Futures Contract”). The portfolio will be rebalanced, generally on a monthly basis, in order to maintain approximately a 25% allocation of the Fund’s assets to each Component Futures Contract. Unlike many other commodity-based exchange-traded products, the Fund will not issue its shareholders a Schedule K-1 for tax reporting purposes, which can increase the complexity of a shareholder’s tax reporting. Instead, the Fund is designed to be taxed as a conventional mutual fund and will issue a Form 1099 to its shareholders for tax reporting purposes. A consequence of the Fund’s tax status is that it generally is
limited to obtaining its exposure to the Component Futures Contracts through the Subsidiary, which is defined and described in the paragraphs that follow.
The Fund will invest indirectly, via a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Subsidiary”), in commodity futures, which are standardized futures contracts on commodities traded on the CBOT or ICE. As the futures contracts approach expiration, they may be replaced by similar contracts that have a later expiration. This process is referred to as “rolling.” Futures holdings will not be rolled on a predetermined schedule. Instead, prior to becoming the new spot month, holdings will be rolled within the same commodity into a position on the futures curve that in the opinion of the Adviser generates the most optimal yield under prevailing market conditions. At times, commodities futures with a longer term to expiration may be priced higher than commodities futures with a shorter term to expiration, which is known as “contango.” The Adviser generally will attempt to minimize the negative impact from rolling commodities futures that are in contango when possible as doing so would result in the Fund selling the expiring contract at a lower price and buying a longer-term contract at a higher price, producing a negative roll yield. Conversely, commodities futures with a longer term to expiration may be priced lower than commodities futures with a shorter term to expiration, known as “backwardation.” Rolling commodities futures in backwardation generally involves selling an expiring contract at a higher price and buying a longer-term contract at a lower price, producing positive roll yield. However, there can be no guarantee that such a strategy will produce the desired results.
The Fund expects to gain exposure to commodities futures by investing in the Subsidiary. The Adviser also serves as the investment adviser to the Subsidiary. The Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary is intended to provide the Fund with indirect exposure to commodities futures within the limits of current federal income tax laws applicable to investment companies such as the Fund, which limit the ability of investment companies to invest directly in commodities futures. The Subsidiary has the same investment objective as the Fund, but it may invest in commodities futures to a greater extent than the Fund. Except as otherwise noted, for purposes of this Prospectus, references to the Fund’s investments include the Fund’s indirect investments through the Subsidiary. Because the Fund has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the size of the Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary generally will be limited to 25% of the Fund’s total assets, tested at the end of each fiscal quarter.
Although the Fund does not seek leveraged returns, investing in the Component Futures Contracts may have a leveraging effect on the Fund. The Fund will invest in cash, cash-like instruments and/or high-quality securities (collectively, “Collateral”). The Collateral may consist of: (i) U.S. Government securities, such as bills, notes and bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury; (ii) money market funds; and/or (iii) corporate debt securities, such as commercial paper and other short-term unsecured promissory notes issued by businesses that are rated investment grade or determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. Such Collateral is designed to provide liquidity, serve as margin or otherwise collateralize the Fund’s investments in Component Futures Contracts and other commodities-related investments. Cash and cash equivalents may include short-term Treasury bills, money market funds, demand deposit account, and commercial paper.
The Adviser may determine to modify the extent of the Fund’s exposure to agricultural commodities in response to extreme market conditions, as determined in the sole discretion of the Adviser, and to avoid exceeding any position limits applicable to agricultural commodities futures, including the Component Futures Contracts, established by the CBOT, ICE, or the CFTC. These position limits may hinder the Fund’s ability to enter into the desired amount of Component Futures Contracts at times. Because of the anticipated size of the Fund’s Component Futures Contracts holdings relative to the size of the futures market, the Adviser does not anticipate that the CBOT or ICE position limits will adversely affect the Fund’s ability to seek its target exposure until the Fund’s assets under management grow significantly. Any determination to modify the Fund’s exposure to agricultural commodities may cause the Fund to liquidate its Component Futures Contracts holdings at disadvantageous times or prices, potentially subjecting the Fund to substantial losses, and prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective. There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to achieve or maintain its targeted investment allocation to the Component Futures Contracts.
The Fund is classified as a “non-diversified” investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and, therefore, may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer than a diversified fund. The Fund will not concentrate its investments (i.e., hold more than 25% of its total assets) in any industry or group of related industries. The Fund, however, may invest more than 25% of its total assets in investments that provide exposure to agricultural commodities.
