Strategy. The Fund seeks to provide broad exposure to commodities across three different sustainability focused themes: agriculture, renewable energy, and battery and electrification metals. In order to provide such exposure, the Fund will invest primarily in derivatives instruments for which the underlying assets are commodities (Commodities Derivatives) . The Funds exposure to each of the three sustainability themes will be approximately weighted: (1) 40% to agriculture, (2) 20% to renewable energy, and (3) 40% to battery and electrification metals. Selection Methodology The Adviser uses a proprietary multi-factor quantitative methodology to select the Commodities Derivatives. The proprietary methodology first considers the universe of commodities across each theme: agricultural commodities, renewable energy, and battery and electrification metals (as each is further described below). … Show more… The Fund seeks to provide broad exposure to commodities across three different sustainability focused themes: agriculture, renewable energy, and battery and electrification metals. In order to provide such exposure, the Fund will invest primarily in derivatives instruments for which the underlying assets are commodities (Commodities Derivatives) . The Funds exposure to each of the three sustainability themes will be approximately weighted: (1) 40% to agriculture, (2) 20% to renewable energy, and (3) 40% to battery and electrification metals. Selection Methodology The Adviser uses a proprietary multi-factor quantitative methodology to select the Commodities Derivatives. The proprietary methodology first considers the universe of commodities across each theme: agricultural commodities, renewable energy, and battery and electrification metals (as each is further described below). Then, for a given theme, the methodology considers factors such as: the primary use of a specific commodity, the secondary and potential other uses of such commodity, and each commoditys environmental impact. The methodology attempts to provide exposure to commodities in amounts that generally correspond to each commoditys relative demand in connection with one of the sustainable themes described above. This means that the Fund will invest more heavily in those commodities that have a higher percentage of their total demand derived from sustainable uses. Commodities Derivatives include exchange-traded and over-the-counter futures and swaps contracts on commodities. If these contracts are traded on an exchange, liquidity relative to the Funds size and trading needs is also considered in determining if a Commodities Derivative is suitable. Futures traded on U.S. or international exchanges with sufficient liquidity are prioritized. Swaps are used for any commodity that does not have a futures contract with sufficient liquidity. The Fund may also use options and forwards to supplement its futures and swaps positions or if adequate futures and swaps are not available. The Fund may not have exposure to every commodity used in agriculture, renewable energy, and battery and electrification metals because there may not be a suitable derivative tied to each commodity across those themes. The Advisers proprietary methodology will exclude commodities that have only a de minimis connection to agriculture, renewable energy, or battery and electrification metals. The Adviser will assess each Commodities Derivatives inclusion in the methodology on an annual basis. Agriculture The Adviser believes that the global push to reduce greenhouse gas emissions coupled with global population growth will increase the demand for agricultural commodities that can be produced sustainably ( i.e. , provide the most amount of product by weight or calories/protein with the least amount of emissions and other adverse environmental impacts). For example, the amount of greenhouse gasses emitted to produce a certain amount (by weight or calories/protein) of beef, lamb, or shellfish is much higher than the amount emitted to produce the same amount (by weight or calories/protein) of grains, legumes or nuts. Using the Advisers selection methodology, and specifically considering factors such as water usage, chemical and fertilizer usage, and the ratio of greenhouse gas emissions to weight or calories/protein produced, the Adviser seeks to provide exposure to agricultural commodities that it believes can be produced sustainably. As such, the Fund will primarily invest in Commodities Derivatives tied to grain crops and oilseeds (which include soybeans, hemp and various nuts and legumes), and to a lesser extent in cotton, sugar and coffee. Renewable Energy The Adviser believes that global demand for renewable energy will continue to increase as countries across the globe seek more sustainable ways to produce power and implement rules and regulations that encourage renewable energy production. The Adviser broadly defines renewable energy as energy from a renewable source ( i.e. , not depleted when used), such as wind, solar, water, and biomass ( i.e. , organic material derived from plants and animals). While certain renewable energy sources are unable to be commoditized (such as the wind or the sun), governments and organizations across the globe have created programs that commoditize the use of renewable energy sources through renewable energy certificate programs and other environmental futures contracts. For example, under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Renewable Fuel Standard program, refiners and importers of gasoline or diesel fuel can generate renewable identification numbers (RINs) when they produce a gallon of renewable fuel (such as ethanol, which is made from biomass). Similar to RINs, various regional organizations in the United States (such as the New England Power Pool Generation Information System) issue and track renewable energy certificates (RECs), which are generated when one megawatt-hour of electricity is produced from a renewable source. The Fund may also invest in carbon credits tied to the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS Credits). RINs, RECs and LCFS Credits can be used by fuel and electricity producers and generators to certify compliance with certain regulatory requirements related to renewable energy production, but they can also be traded on secondary markets. The Funds exposure to the renewable energy theme will consist of investments in renewable commodity futures (such as ethanol futures and biomass futures, to the extent suitable options are or become available) as well as RIN futures, REC futures and LCFS Credit futures, among other environmental futures contracts. The Fund may invest in other futures contracts as they become available when other renewable energy sources are developed and are able to be commoditized. Battery and Electrification Metals The Adviser believes that demand for certain metals will increase as the global economy undergoes a process known as Electrification. During Electrification, energy derived from sustainable sources such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power will gradually replace energy generated by fossil fuels. The infrastructure needed to produce and store that energy as electricity in batteries (Battery and Electrification Infrastructure) will require substantial amounts of certain metals. As a result, Electrification may lead to rising prices for these metals over time. Specifically, the Funds holdings will consist of instruments tied to industrial metals and precious metals (the Metals and each, a Metal) that are used in batteries, battery charging infrastructure, and sustainable energy generation and storage infrastructure. The Funds Metals Derivatives will be expected to include metals such as cobalt, copper, iron ore, lithium, nickel, and other metals currently used in Battery and Electrification Infrastructure. Specific metals may be added or removed as eligible metals when changes occur in the evolution of battery and electrification metals technology, and when exposure to these metals can be obtained. Collateral Requirements The portion of the Funds assets that are not invested in Commodities Derivatives or Carbon Offset Investments (as defined below), will be primarily invested, directly or indirectly through the Subsidiary (as defined below), in cash, cash equivalents, money market funds, or short maturity fixed-income investments or a combination thereof. The primary purpose of such investments will be to meet coverage and collateral requirements associated with the Funds Commodities Derivatives. Sustainable Strategy The Fund understands that the production of certain agricultural products and the extraction, production and distribution of Metals required for Electrification are carbon-intensive processes. As such, an important component of the Funds sustainable strategy involves purchasing carbon offset investments (Carbon Offset Investments) in an amount equal to the estimated aggregate carbon emissions of the Funds holdings. By purchasing Carbon Offset Investments, the Fund seeks to mitigate the carbon-intensive nature of certain of the Funds Commodities Derivatives. After all the Commodities Derivatives have been selected, the Adviser estimates the carbon emissions associated with each Commodities Derivative chosen by the methodology. The Adviser relies on data published by governmental or multi-national organizations, scientific studies, investment bank/financial service companies, and internationally recognized environmental, social, and governance (ESG) research firms to make such estimates. The Adviser then calculates the aggregate carbon emissions from all Commodities Derivatives in the portfolio and the Fund purchases Carbon Offset Investments in the form of carbon credit futures contracts in an amount equal to the net emissions. Carbon emissions estimates will be updated annually. The Fund is non-diversified, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The Subsidiary Although the Fund may invest in Commodities Derivatives directly, the Fund invests in Commodities Derivatives primarily through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund incorporated in the Cayman Islands, USCF Cayman Commodity 7 (the Subsidiary). The Subsidiary is advised by the Adviser and has the same investment objective as the Fund. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in the Subsidiary. Show less
