About GLDW
The Fund is actively managed and seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing in total return swap agreements and common stock that in aggregate return approximately1.2 times (120%) the calendar week total return of shares of the Gold ETF while making weekly distribution payments to shareholders. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in swaps that utilize the Gold ETF as the reference asset and in shares of the Gold ETF. For purposes of compliance with this investment policy, derivative contracts will be valued at their notional value.
There is no guarantee that the Fund will successfully provide returns that correspond to approximately 1.2times (120%) the calendar week total return of shares of the Gold ETF. The Fund will make weekly distribution payments to shareholders. The amount of each week’s distribution is based upon a formula that incorporates a number of dynamic market-based inputs, including the recent total return of Gold ETF shares and the implied volatility of Gold ETF shares. Accordingly, the Fund’sweekly distribution should be expected to change from week to week.
The Adviser intends for all or a significant portion of the Fund’sweekly distributions to be characterized as return of capital, though it can make no assurances this will be the case. Return of capital is neither income nor profit. Return of capital represents a return of a portion of a Fund shareholder’s invested capital and is not taxable in the year it is received unless the distribution exceeds a shareholder’s basis in the Fund. However, a return of capital may result in an increase in a later gain on a sale of Fund Shares or a reduction of a loss.
In addition to making weekly distribution payments to shareholders, the Fund seeks to provide 1.2 times (120%) exposure to the total return of Gold ETF shares over a given calendar week. The implication of an investment strategy that seeks to provide a weekly return that is approximately 1.2 times (120%) the calendar week total return of shares of the Gold ETF is that if the Gold ETF experiences an increase in value over a given calendar week, the Fundcould be expected to experience a gain approximately 20% larger than the gain experienced by the Gold ETF.
Conversely, if the Gold ETFexperiences a decrease in value over a given calendar week, the Fund could be expected to experience a loss approximately 20% larger than the loss experienced by the Gold ETF. On the close of the last businessday every calendar week, the Fund’s exposure will be reset to approximately 1.2 times (120%). The reset of the leverage factor may result in either a decrease or increase in notional exposure, depending on the performance of the Gold ETF over the course of a givenweek. Therefore, the Fund will provide exposure to the weekly total return of Gold ETF shares.
Accordingly, the Fund is not an appropriate investment for investors seeking exposure to the daily total return of Gold ETF shares. A “calendar week” is measured from the close of trading on the final day of the week that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading on one week to the close of trading on the final day of the subsequent week that the NYSE is open for trading.
For example, if Thursday is the last day of the week that the NYSE is open for trading in a given week, and Friday is the last day of the subsequent week that the NYSE is open for trading, the Fund will provide exposure to the performance of Gold ETF shares from the close of trading on Thursday until the close of trading on the following Friday. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives without regard to overall market movement or the increase or decrease in the value of Gold ETF shares. Accordingly, the Fund will not take defensive positions.
In addition to the swap agreements and shares of the Gold ETF, the Fund will also invest significantly in short-term U.S. Treasury securities, short-term U.S. Treasury ETFs,and money market funds that will be used to collateralize such agreements. The Fund will be concentrated in instruments or investments that provide exposure to gold. The Fund is classified as “non-diversified”under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). It is critical that investors understand the following: 1.An investment in the Fund is not an investment in the Gold ETF.
2.The Fund’s strategy is subject to all potential losses if Gold ETF shares decrease in value,and may lose all of its value if shares of the Gold ETF decrease by 83.33 percent over the course of any calendar week. 3.All or a significant portion of the Fund’s weekly distributions may be characterized as a return of capital. Additional Information About the Gold ETF The Gold ETF is organized as a Delaware statutory trust, issuing shares that represent fractional, undivided beneficial interests in its net assets, which consist almost exclusively of gold. The Gold ETF aims to closely track gold’s price performance.
The Gold ETF is not registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act and therefore is not subject to the same regulatory requirements as mutual funds or ETFs registered under the 1940 Act. Additionally,its sponsor is not registered with the SEC as an investment adviser and, therefore, is not subject to SEC regulation in that capacity regarding its activities related to managing the Gold ETF.
Moreover, the Gold ETF is not classified as a commodity pool under the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended (the “CEA”), and consequently, its sponsor is not regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”) as a commodity pool operator or commodity trading advisor with respect to its operation of the Gold ETF. The Gold ETF (File No. 333-267520and 001-32356) is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act.
Information provided to or filed with the SEC by the Gold ETF pursuant to the Exchange Act, including financial reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding the Gold ETF, can be located through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Neither the Fund, the Trust, the Adviser nor the Sub-Adviser, nor any of their respective affiliates,make any representations to investors as to the performance of the Gold ETF.
