Shares are bought and sold at market price not net asset value (NAV). A fund’s NAV is the sum of all its assets less any liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding. Market price returns are based upon the closing composite market price and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times.
The dynamic approach employed by the Quantix Commodity Index (QCI) results in differentiated positioning throughout cycles.
Driven by this differentiated positioning, HGER, which closely tracks the QCI, has cumulatively outperformed the Bloomberg Commodity Index by 20.70% (NAV) since its February 2022 inception.
HGER has also outpaced both the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond and S&P 500 Indices since inception.

The Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) often serves as a primary source of investors’ broader-based commodities exposure. However, the Quantix Commodity Index (QCI) has exhibited outperformance relative to BCOM since the index inception given an allocation process that considers each commodity’s inflation sensitivity and roll yield dynamics, and also incorporates a dynamic adjustment of its gold weighting for determined inflationary regimes.
| 1 | Calculate the ‘Economic Significance’ of each commodity in the universe in order to understand their importance to the real economy |
| 2 | Calculate the Quality Score of each commodity |
| 3 | Reweight the Economic Significance base weights according to the Quality Score |
| 4 | Ensure diversification within the QCI to provide broad based commodity exposure and remain highly liquid and tradeable |
| 5 | A proprietary Quantix Scarcity Debasement Indicator adjusts the gold weight for the determined type of inflationary regime |

Important Information
Risks
Investing involves risk, principal loss is possible. Unlike mutual funds, ETFs may trade at a premium or discount to their net asset value. The ETF is new and has limited operating history to judge.
There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved. Stock markets are volatile and equity values can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market and economic conditions. A non-diversified Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in securities of a single issuer, and/or invest in a relatively small number of issuers, it is more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio.
Commodity Risk: The Fund has exposure to commodities through its and/or the Subsidiary’s investments in commodity-linked derivative instruments. Authorized Participant Concentration/Trading Risk: Only authorized participants (“APs”) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. Commodity-Linked Derivatives Risk: The Fund’s investments in commodity-linked derivative instruments (either directly or through the Subsidiary) and the tracking of an Index comprised of commodity futures may subject the Fund to significantly greater volatility than investments in traditional securities.
ETFs are subject to capital gains tax and taxation of dividend income. However, ETFs are structured in such a manner that taxes are generally minimized for the holder of the ETF. An ETF manager accommodates investment inflows and outflows by creating or redeeming “creation units,” which are baskets of assets. As a result, the investor usually is not exposed to capital gains on any individual security in the underlying portfolio. However, capital gains tax may be incurred by the investor after the ETF is sold.
