Amplify Commodity Trust (BDRY, BWET) swings to $59M nine-month profit on freight futures
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Amplify Commodity Trust, which oversees the Breakwave Dry Bulk Shipping ETF (BDRY) and Breakwave Tanker Shipping ETF (BWET), reports strong results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, driven by freight futures gains. Combined net income for the quarter was $30.4 million, with BDRY earning $4.5 million and BWET $25.9 million, mainly from realized and unrealized gains on futures contracts.
Combined net assets rose to $100.0 million, up from $67.1 million at June 30, 2025, helped by net share creations in BWET and significant trading gains. At March 31, 2026, BDRY had 4,275,040 shares outstanding with a NAV of $10.09 per share, while BWET had 475,100 shares outstanding with a NAV of $119.74. Both funds continue to invest primarily in Baltic Exchange–based freight futures, using cash and money market holdings as margin and collateral.
Positive

Insights
Freight futures strength turns prior losses into sizable gains.
Amplify Commodity Trust’s BDRY and BWET posted a combined net income of $59.2M for the nine months ended March 31, 2026, reversing a combined net loss of $10.9M in the prior-year period. The improvement stems largely from realized and unrealized gains on freight futures.
For the recent quarter, BDRY earned $4.5M and BWET $25.9M, as dry bulk and tanker freight rate futures moved favorably. Combined net assets increased from $67.1M at June 30, 2025 to $100.0M, with BWET also seeing net creations.
The results highlight the funds’ high sensitivity to Baltic Exchange–linked freight indexes. Future performance will depend on dry bulk and crude tanker rate dynamics and how roll yield and margining of futures positions evolve across subsequent reporting periods.

Amplify Commodity Trust
Notes to Interim Combined Financial Statements
March 31, 2026 (unaudited)
(1) Organization
Amplify Commodity Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on July 23, 2014. Effective after the close of trading on February 14, 2024, ETF Managers Capital LLC, as the prior sponsor and commodity pool operator (the “Former Sponsor”) of the Trust, entered into an agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”) to resign as Sponsor to the Trust and transfer its role as the Trust’s sponsor to Amplify Investments LLC (“the Sponsor.”) Under the terms of the Transfer Agreement, the Former Sponsor no longer has any involvement in the operations, management or marketing of the Fund. In connection with this change of Sponsor, the Trust changed its name from the ETF Managers Group Commodity Trust I to the Amplify Commodity Trust. The Trust is a series trust formed pursuant to the Delaware Statutory Trust Act and currently consists of two separate series. BREAKWAVE DRY BULK SHIPPING ETF (“BDRY”), is the first series of the Trust and is a commodity pool that continuously issues shares of beneficial interest that may be purchased and sold on the NYSE Arca. The second series of the Trust, BREAKWAVE TANKER SHIPPING ETF (“BWET”), each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”, is also a commodity pool that continuously issues shares of beneficial interest that may be purchased and sold on the NYSE Arca. The Funds are managed and controlled by the Sponsor, a Delaware limited liability company. The Sponsor is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) as a “commodity pool operator” (“CPO”) and is a member of the National Futures Trading Association (“NFA”). Breakwave Advisors, LLC (“Breakwave”) is registered as a “commodity trading advisor” (“CTA”) with the CFTC and serves as the Funds’ commodity trading advisor.
BDRY commenced investment operations on March 22, 2018. BDRY commenced trading on the NYSE Arca on March 22, 2018 and trades under the symbol “BDRY.”
BDRY’s investment objective is to provide investors with exposure to the daily change in the price of dry bulk freight futures, before expenses and liabilities of BDRY, by tracking the performance of a portfolio (the “BDRY Benchmark Portfolio”) consisting of a three-month strip of the nearest calendar quarter of futures contracts on specified indexes (each a “Reference Index”) that measure rates for shipping dry bulk freight (“Freight Futures”). Each Reference Index is published each United Kingdom business day by the London-based Baltic Exchange Ltd. (the “Baltic Exchange”) and measures the charter rate for shipping dry bulk freight in a specific size category of cargo ship – Capesize, Panamax or Supramax. The three Reference Indexes are as follows:
| ● | Capesize: the Capesize 5TC Index; |
| ● | Panamax: the Panamax 4TC Index; and |
| ● | Supramax: the Supramax 10TC Index. |
The value of the Capesize 5TC Index is disseminated at 11:00 a.m., London Time and the value of the Panamax 4TC Index and the Supramax 10TC Index each is disseminated at 1:00 p.m., London Time. The Reference Index information disseminated by the Baltic Exchange also includes the components and value of each component in each Reference Index. Such Reference Index information also is widely disseminated by Reuters and/or other major market data vendors.
BDRY seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the Freight Futures currently constituting the BDRY Benchmark Portfolio. The BDRY Benchmark Portfolio includes all existing positions to maturity and settles them in cash. During any given calendar quarter, the BDRY Benchmark Portfolio progressively increases its positions to the next calendar quarter three-month strip, thus maintaining constant exposure to the Freight Futures market as positions mature.

The Fund will incur certain expenses in connection with its operations. The Fund will hold cash or cash equivalents such as U.S. Treasuries or other high credit quality, short-term fixed-income or similar securities for direct investment or as collateral for the Freight futures and for other liquidity purposes and to meet redemptions that may be necessary on an ongoing basis. These expenses and income from the cash and cash equivalent holdings may cause imperfect correlation between changes in the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) and changes in the Benchmark Portfolio, because the Benchmark Portfolio does not reflect expenses or income. The Fund may also realize interest income from its holdings in U.S. Treasuries or other market rate instruments.
The Fund seeks to trade its positions prior to maturity; accordingly, natural market forces may cost the Fund while rebalancing. Each time the Fund seeks to reconstitute its positions, barring movement in the underlying securities, the futures and option prices may be higher or lower. Such differences in price, barring a movement in the price of the underlying security, will constitute “roll yield” and may inhibit the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.
Several factors determine the total return from investing in a futures contract position. One factor that impacts the total return that will result from investing in near month futures contracts and “rolling” those contracts forward each month is the price relationship between the current near month contract and the next month contract.

BWET commenced investment operations on May 3, 2023. BWET commenced trading on NYSE Arca on May 3, 2023 and trades under the symbol “BWET.”
BWET’s investment objective is to provide investors with exposure to the daily change in the price of crude oil tanker freight futures, before expenses and liabilities of the Fund, by tracking the performance of a portfolio (the “BWET Benchmark Portfolio”) mainly consisting of the nearest calendar quarter of futures contracts on specified indexes (each a “Reference Index”) that measure prices for shipping crude oil (“Freight Futures”). Freight Futures reflect market expectations for the future cost of transporting crude oil. Each Reference Index is published each United Kingdom business day by the London-based Baltic Exchange Ltd. (the “Baltic Exchange”) and measures the charter rate for crude oil in a specific size category of cargo ship and for a specific route. The two Reference Indexes are as follows:
| ● | The TD3C Index: Middle East Gulf to China, 270,000mt cargo (Very Large Crude Carrier or VLCC tankers) and; |
| ● | The TD20 Index: West Africa to Europe, 130,000mt cargo (Suezmax Tankers) |

Effective for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026, the Trust has elected to discontinue the presentation of the Statement of Cash Flows. This change is in accordance with the guidance under FASB ASC 230, which exempts certain investment companies from presenting a Statement of Cash flows when specific criteria are met. The Trust noted that as of and for the period ended March 31, 2026, these criteria were met where substantially all investments were highly liquid in Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as shown in Note 2, all investments are carried at fair value, the Trust carried no debt, and the combined statements of changes in net assets is presented.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Accounting
The accompanying combined interim unaudited and accompanying audited financial statements of the Funds have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the instructions for the Form 10-Q and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Each Fund qualifies as an investment company for financial reporting purposes under Topic 946 of the Accounting Standard Codification of U.S. GAAP.
The accompanying combined interim financial statements are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the interim financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025, BDRY’s prospectus dated February 17, 2026 (the “BDRY Prospectus,”), and BWET’s prospectus dated February 17, 2026 (the “BWET Prospectus”). Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full-year period.
(b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the combined financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the combined financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. There were no significant estimates used in the preparation of the combined financial statements.
(c) Cash
Cash, when shown in the Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities, represents non-segregated cash with the custodian and does not include short-term investments.
(d) Cash Held by Broker
Breakwave is registered as a “commodity trading advisor” and acts as such for the Funds. The Funds’ arrangement with its FCM requires the Funds to meet their variation margin requirement related to the price movements, both positive and negative, on futures contracts held by the Funds by keeping cash on deposit with the Commodity Broker (as defined below). These amounts are shown as segregated cash held by broker in the Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Each Fund deposits cash or United States Treasury Obligations, as applicable, with the FCM subject to the CFTC regulations and various exchange and broker requirements. The combination of each Fund’s deposits with the FCM of cash and United States Treasury Obligations, as applicable, and the unrealized gain or loss on open futures contracts (variation margin) represents each Fund’s overall equity in its brokerage trading account. The Funds use their cash held by the FCM to satisfy individual variation margin requirements. The Funds earn interest on their cash deposited with the FCM and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
(e) Final Net Asset Value for Fiscal Period
The calculation time of the Fund’s final net asset value for creation and redemption of Fund shares for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
Although the Fund’s shares may continue to trade on secondary markets subsequent to the calculation of the final NAV, the 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time represented the final opportunity to transact in creation or redemption baskets for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.
Fair value per share is determined at the close of the NYSE Arca.
For financial reporting purposes, each Fund values its investment positions based upon the final closing price in their primary markets. Accordingly, the investment valuations in these interim combined financial statements differ from those used in the calculations of the Fund’s final creation/redemption NAVs at March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
(f) Investment Valuation
Short-term investments, excluding U.S. Treasury Bills, are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. U.S. Treasury Bills, when held by the Funds, are valued as determined by an independent pricing service based on methods which include consideration of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Money market investments are valued at their traded net asset value.
Futures and options contracts are valued at the last settled price on the applicable exchange on which that futures and/or options contract trades.
(g) Financial Instruments and Fair Value
Each Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) fair value measurement and disclosure guidance which requires a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The disclosure requirements establish a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent to the Fund (observable inputs); and (2) the Fund’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The three levels defined by the disclosure requirements hierarchy are as follows:
| Level I: | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
| Level II: | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level I that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level II inputs include the following: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market-corroborated inputs). |
| Level III: | Unobservable pricing input at the measurement date for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available. |
In some instances, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined based on the lowest input level that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Fair value measurements also require additional disclosure when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased, as well as when circumstances indicate that a transaction is not orderly.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
h) Investment Transactions and Related Income
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. All such transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis and marked to market daily. Unrealized gain/loss on open futures contracts is reflected in Receivable/Payable on open futures contracts in the Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the change in the unrealized gain/loss between periods is reflected in the Combined Statements of Operations. The Funds interest earned on short-term securities and on cash deposited with Marex Financial Ltd. is accrued daily and reflected as Interest Income, when applicable, in the Combined Statements of Operations.
(i) Federal Income Taxes
Each Fund is registered as a Delaware statutory trust and is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Funds do not expect to incur U.S. federal income tax liability; rather, each beneficial owner is required to take into account their allocable share of the Funds’ income, gain, loss, deductions and other items for the Funds’ taxable year ending with or within the beneficial owner’s taxable year.
Management of the Funds has reviewed the open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns at March 31, 2026. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. On an ongoing basis, management will monitor its tax positions taken to determine if adjustments to its conclusions are necessary based on factors including, but not limited to, further implementation of guidance expected from the FASB and on-going analysis of tax law, regulation, and interpretations thereof. The Funds’ federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years after they are filed.
(j) New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The Funds operate as single segment entities. The Funds’ income, expenses, assets, and performance are regularly monitored and assessed by the Sponsor, who serves as the chief operating decision maker, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

(j) New Accounting Pronouncements - Continued
Neither the Trust nor the Funds have executive officers. Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreements for the Funds, the Fund’s affairs are managed by the Sponsor. The business and affairs of the Sponsor are managed by its chief executive officer, Christian Magoon.
The following are individual Principals, as that term is defined in CFTC Rule 3.1, for the Sponsor: Christian W. Magoon, Bradley H. Bailey, David F. Wilding, Jodie Crotteau, and William Belden III. These individuals are principals due to their positions; however, Mr. Magoon is also a principal due to his controlling stake in Amplify. Amplify was also listed as a principal of the Sponsor, due to its controlling stake, on June 14, 2023.
(3) Investments
(a) Short -Term Investments
The Funds may purchase U.S. Treasury Bills, agency securities, and other high-credit quality short-term fixed income or similar securities with original maturities of one year or less. A portion of these investments may be used as margin for the Funds’ trading in futures contracts.
(b) Accounting for Derivative Instruments
In seeking to achieve each Fund’s investment objective, the commodity trading advisor uses a mathematical approach to investing. Using this approach, the commodity trading advisor determines the type, quantity and mix of investment positions that it believes in combination should produce returns consistent with the Fund’s objective.
All open derivative positions at March 31, 2026 and at June 30, 2025, as applicable, are disclosed in the Combined Schedules of Investments and the notional value of these open positions relative to the shareholders’ capital of the Funds is generally representative of the notional value of open positions to shareholders’ capital throughout the reporting periods for the Funds. The volume associated with derivative positions varies on a daily basis as the Funds transact in derivative contracts in order to achieve the appropriate exposure, as expressed in notional value, in comparison to shareholders’ capital consistent with the applicable Fund’s investment objective.
Following is a description of the derivative instruments used by the Funds during the reporting period, including the primary underlying risk exposures.
(c) Futures Contracts
The Funds enter into futures contracts to gain exposure to changes in the value of the Benchmark Portfolios. A futures contract obligates the seller to deliver (and the purchaser to accept) the future cash settlement of a specified quantity and type of a freight futures contract at a specified time and place. The contractual obligations of a buyer or seller of a freight futures contract may generally be satisfied by making an offsetting sale or purchase of an identical futures contract on the same or linked exchange before the designated date of delivery.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to deposit and maintain as collateral at least such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is affected. The initial margin is segregated as Cash held by broker, as disclosed in the Combined Statements of Assets and Liabilities and is restricted as to its use. Pursuant to the futures contract, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the futures contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized gains or losses. The Funds will realize a gain or loss upon closing a futures transaction.
Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (specifically freight futures price risk) and exposure to loss in excess of the amount of variation margin. The face or contract amounts reflect the extent of the total exposure the Funds have in the particular classes of instruments. Additional risks associated with the use of futures contracts include imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the futures contracts and the market value of the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid market for a futures contract. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Funds since futures contracts are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures contracts, guarantees the futures contracts against default.

(6) Risk
(a) Investment Related Risk
The NAV of each Fund’s shares relates directly to the value of the respective freight futures portfolio, cash and cash equivalents held by each Fund. Fluctuations in the prices of these assets could materially adversely affect the values and performance of an investment in BDRY and BWET shares. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results; all or substantially all of an investment in BDRY or BWET could be lost.
The NAV of BDRY and BWET shares relates directly to the value of the futures investments held by each Fund which are materially impacted by fluctuations in changes in spot charter rates. Charter rates for dry bulk vessels and crude oil tankers are highly volatile, may rapidly decrease and may remain at low levels in the future.
Futures and options contracts have expiration dates. Before or upon the expiration of a contract, BDRY and/or BWET may be required to enter into replacement contracts that are priced higher or that have less favorable terms than the contracts being replaced (see “Negative Roll Risk,” below). The Freight Futures market settles in cash against published indices, so there is no physical delivery against the futures contracts.
Similar to other futures contracts, the Freight Futures curve shape could be either in “contango” (where the futures curve is upward sloping with next futures price higher than the current one) or “backwardation” (where the next futures price is lower than the current one). Contango curves are generally characterized by negative roll cost, as the expiring contract value is lower than the next prompt contract value, assuming the same lot size. That means there could be losses incurred when the contracts are rolled each period (“Negative Roll Risk”) and such losses are independent of the Freight Futures price level.
The recent conflict in the Middle East involving Israel, the United States of America (“the U.S.”) and Iran has materially disrupted oil flows from the region. Transits through the Strait of Hormuz—one of the world’s most critical maritime chokepoints—have been significantly impeded. As a result, tanker freight rates have risen sharply not only for voyages originating in the Middle East, but globally, reflecting pricing dislocations in crude oil and related energy products. These disruptions have driven rapid increases in freight rates. However, if the disruptions persist, the risk of materially lower rates may increase over time as reduced volumes of oil are transported. Spot freight rates may therefore remain highly volatile, with corresponding volatility in tanker freight futures. Conversely, any resolution of the conflict and normalization of trade flows could trigger a significant and abrupt decline in tanker freight rates and, in turn, tanker freight futures. Dry bulk freight rates have thus far been relatively insulated because dry bulk cargo volumes transiting the Strait of Hormuz are not significant compared to other routes. However, broader economic effects from the conflict could weaken global demand for commodities and thereby pressure dry bulk freight rates. Overall, the ongoing conflict, and uncertainty regarding both the timing and manner of any resolution, continues to present a material risk to shipping markets and is likely to contribute to volatility in tanker freight rates and tanker freight futures. This volatility could materially adversely affect the value of BWET and could result in a significant decline in the Fund’s value and, to a lesser extent, could also adversely affect the value of BDRY.
Additionally, the Russia Ukraine war poses an increasing risk for global economic growth. Broad-based economic sanctions on Russia continue to materially affect oil and natural gas prices, particularly in light of the European Union’s dependence on Russian energy exports and limited global spare production and export capacity. As a result, energy price volatility has increased significantly, contributing to inflationary pressures in major developed economies that have historically relied on Russian oil and gas supplies.

(6) Risk - Continued
(a) Investment Related Risk - Continued
In the case of BWET, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has also had a profound impact on oil prices and as a result on tanker rates and might continue to impact the level of tanker rates for years to come. Russia accounts for more than 10% of global oil production. Sanctions put in place to limit the exports of crude oil and refined products from Russia has caused a reshuffling in tanker trade patterns and has led to increasing volatility in tanker freight rates. With limited seaborne crude exports out of Russia, refiners and oil traders have been seeking alternative sources for feedstock crude, causing major disruptions in the traditional crude oil trading patterns. Volatility in tanker rates has increased, especially for tankers carrying refined products. As volatility of spot charter rates increases, higher trading volumes in freight futures would be expected as market participants tend to increase their hedging requirements. In addition, oil price volatility has increased significantly, impacting tanker spot rate freight rates.
In the case of BDRY, the combined Russia and Ukraine region account for approximately one quarter of global grain production, one of the main cargoes transported by dry bulk vessels, while coal and iron ore exports out of the region have also been reduced. The above factors can have a negative impact on demand for dry bulk transportation, while slower economic growth could also negatively affect demand for dry bulk commodities in the rest of the world, leading to lower dry bulk freight rates and as a result lower freight futures prices and a decline in the value of BDRY.
The recent conflict between the U.S. and Venezuela and the associated disruption in oil flows had a significant impact on tanker demand. In addition, as the U.S. has recently been seizing vessels linked to Venezuela, there has been additional disruptions and tonnage substitutions, which further restricts available tonnage for oil transportation. Although the situation seems to have normalized, any re-escalation could lead to volatility in freight rates.
The recent announcements of tariffs on import goods by the U.S. as well as corresponding increase in tariffs by other countries can have a meaningful negative impact on trade volumes, which could have a material adverse impact on shipping rates. As tariffs lead to less imports and exports, demand for transportation could potentially decrease leading to lower shipping rates. Such negative impact could affect both dry bulk and tanker rates alike. The impact of the implementation of higher tariffs around the globe on dry bulk shipping and tanker shipping will be negative, all else equal, leading to lower spot rates and as a result lower freight futures prices and a decline in the value of BDRY as well as BWET
In addition, The People’s Republic of China (“China”) accounts for a sizable part of oil demand, and changes in the economic and political environment in China and policies adopted by the government to regulate its economy may have a material adverse effect on tanker charter rates and as a result, Freight Futures.
(b) Liquidity Risk
In certain circumstances, such as the disruption of the orderly markets for the futures contracts or Financial Instruments in which the Fund invest, the Funds might not be able to dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent what the market value may have been in an orderly market. Futures and option positions cannot always be liquidated at the desired price. It is difficult to execute a trade at a specific price when there is a relatively small volume of buy and sell orders in a market. A market disruption can also make it difficult to liquidate a position. The large size of the positions that the Funds may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity both by making its positions more difficult to liquidate and by potentially increasing losses while trying to do so. Such a situation may prevent the Funds from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high correlation with the applicable Benchmark Portfolio.

(6) Risk - Continued
(c) Natural Disaster/Epidemic Risk
Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and other severe weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics (for example, the novel coronavirus COVID-19), have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and markets and have recently led, and may continue to lead, to increased market volatility and significant market losses. Such natural disaster and health crises could exacerbate political, social, and economic risks previously mentioned, and result in significant breakdowns, delays, shutdowns, social isolation, and other disruptions to important global, local and regional supply chains affected, with potential corresponding results on the operating performance of the Funds and their investments. A climate of uncertainty and panic, including the contagion of infectious viruses or diseases, may adversely affect global, regional, and local economies and reduce the availability of potential investment opportunities, and increases the difficulty of performing due diligence and modeling market conditions, potentially reducing the accuracy of financial projections. Under these circumstances, the Funds may have difficulty achieving their investment objectives which may adversely impact performance. Further, such events can be highly disruptive to economies and markets, significantly disrupt the operations of individual companies (including, but not limited to, the Funds’ Sponsor and third party service providers), sectors, industries, markets, securities and commodity exchanges, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Funds’ investments. These factors can cause substantial market volatility. Exchange trading suspensions and closures can impact on the ability of the Funds to complete redemptions and otherwise affect each Fund’s performance and the Funds’ trading in the secondary market. A widespread crisis may also affect the global economy in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen at the current time. How long such events will last and whether they will continue or reoccur cannot be predicted. Impacts from these events could have significant impact on the Funds’ performance, resulting in losses to the Funds.
(7) Profit and Loss Allocations and Distributions
Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, income and expenses of the Funds are allocated pro rata among the Shareholders monthly based on their respective percentage interests as of the close of the last trading day of the preceding month.
Any losses allocated to the Sponsor which are in excess of the Sponsor’s capital balance are allocated to the Shareholders in accordance with their respective interest in the applicable Fund as a percentage of total Shareholders’ capital. Distributions (other than redemption of units) may be made at the sole discretion of the Sponsor on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective interests of the Shareholders.
(8) Indemnifications
The Sponsor, either in its own capacity or in its capacity as the Sponsor and on behalf of the Funds, has entered into various service agreements that contain a variety of representations, or provide indemnification provisions related to certain risks service providers undertake in performing services which are in the best interests of the Funds. As of March 31, 2026, the Funds had not received any claims or incurred any losses pursuant to these agreements and expects the risk of such losses to be remote.
(9) Termination
The term of each Fund is perpetual unless terminated earlier in certain circumstances as described in the applicable Prospectus.
(10) Net Asset Value and Financial Highlights
The Funds are presenting, as applicable, the following
net asset value and financial highlights related to investment performance for a Share outstanding throughout the three and nine months
ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The net investment income and total expense ratios are calculated using average net assets.
The net asset value presentation is calculated by dividing each Fund’s net assets by the average daily number of Shares outstanding.
The net investment income (loss) and expense ratios have been annualized.

Overview
The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust formed on July 23, 2014. Prior to February 15, 2024, the Trust was named ETF Managers Group Commodity Trust I. The Trust is a series trust formed pursuant to the Delaware Statutory Trust Act and currently includes two separate series: BDRY and BWET. Each Fund is a commodity pool that continuously issues shares of beneficial interest that may be purchased and sold on the NYSE Arca.
The Funds are each managed and controlled by Amplify Investments LLC (the “Sponsor” or “Amplify”), a single member limited liability company that was formed in the state of Delaware on October 2, 2014. The Funds pay the Sponsor a management fee. The Sponsor, the Trust, and the Funds maintain their main business offices at 3333 Warrenville Road, Suite 350, Lisle, IL 60532. The Sponsor’s telephone number is (855) 267-3837.
The Sponsor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amplify Holding Company LLC, a limited liability company domiciled and headquartered in Illinois.
The Sponsor has the power and authority to establish and designate one or more series and to issue shares thereof, from time to time as it deems necessary or desirable. The Sponsor has exclusive power to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences as between the shares of any series as to the right of redemption, special and relative rights as to dividends and other distributions and on liquidation, conversion rights, and conditions under which the series shall have separate voting rights or no voting rights. The term for which the Trust is to exist commenced on the date of the filing of the Certificate of Trust, and the Trust, the Funds, and any additional series created in the future will exist in perpetuity, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement. Separate and distinct records shall be maintained for each Fund and the assets associated with a Fund shall be held in such separate and distinct records (directly or indirectly, including a nominee or otherwise) and accounted for in such separate and distinct records separately from the assets of any other series. The Funds and each future series will be separate from all such series in respect of the assets and liabilities allocated to a Fund and each separate series and will represent a separate investment portfolio of the Trust.
Each Fund is a “commodity pool” as defined by the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”). Consequently, the Sponsor has registered as a commodity pool operator (“CPO”) with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and is a member of the National Futures Association (“NFA”).
Effective after the closing of trading on February 14, 2024, ETF Managers Capital, LLC, the prior sponsor of the Trust, resigned from its position as sponsor of the Trust. Concurrently, Amplify was appointed as successor sponsor to the Trust. Effective February 15, 2024, the Funds are managed and controlled by Amplify in its capacity as sponsor for the Trust.
The sole Trustee of the Trust is Wilmington Trust, N.A. (the “Trustee”), and the Trustee serves as the Trust’s corporate trustee as required under the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (“DSTA”). The Trustee’s principal offices are located at 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890. The Trustee is unaffiliated with the Sponsor. The rights and duties of the Trustee and the Sponsor with respect to the offering of the Shares and Fund management and the shareholders are governed by the provisions of the DSTA and by the Trust Agreement.
BDRY commenced trading on the NYSE Arca on March 22, 2018 and trades under the symbol “BDRY”.
BWET commenced trading on NYSE Arca on May 3, 2023 and trades under the symbol “BWET”.
Each Fund is designed and managed to track the performance of a portfolio (a “Benchmark Portfolio”) consisting of futures contracts (the “Benchmark Component Instruments”).
39
Breakwave Dry Bulk Shipping ETF
The Investment Objective of the Fund
BDRY’s investment objective is to provide investors with exposure to the daily change in the price of dry bulk freight futures by tracking the performance of a portfolio (the “BDRY Benchmark Portfolio”) consisting of exchange cleared futures contracts on the cost of shipping dry bulk freight (“Dry Freight Futures”). BDRY seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the Dry Freight Futures currently constituting the BDRY Benchmark Portfolio.
The BDRY Benchmark Portfolio
The BDRY Benchmark Portfolio is maintained by Breakwave, which also serves as BDRY’s CTA. The BDRY Benchmark Portfolio consists of the Dry Freight Futures, which are a three month strip of the nearest calendar quarter of futures contracts on specified indexes (each a “Reference Index”) that measure rates for shipping dry bulk freight. Each Reference Index is published each United Kingdom business day by the London based Baltic Exchange Ltd. (the “Baltic Exchange”) and measures the charter rate for shipping dry bulk freight in a specific size category of cargo ship Capesize, Panamax or Supramax. The three Reference Indexes are as follows:
| ● | Capesize: the Capesize 5TC Index; |
| ● | Panamax: the Panamax 4TC Index; and |
| ● | Supramax: the Supramax 10TC Index. |
The BDRY Benchmark Component Instruments currently constituting the BDRY Benchmark Portfolio as of March 31, 2026 include:

Breakwave Tanker Shipping ETF
The Investment Objective of the Fund
BWET’s investment objective is to provide investors with exposure to the daily change in the price of crude oil tanker freight futures by tracking the performance of a portfolio (the “BWET Benchmark Portfolio” and, collectively with the BDRY Benchmark Portfolio, the “Benchmark Portfolios”) consisting of exchange cleared futures contracts on the cost of shipping crude oil (“Oil Freight Futures” and, collectively with Dry Freight Futures, the “Freight Futures”). BWET seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially all of its assets in the Oil Freight Futures currently constituting the BWET Benchmark Portfolio.
The BWET Benchmark Portfolio
The BWET Benchmark Portfolio is maintained by Breakwave, which also serves as BWET’s CTA. The BWET Benchmark Portfolio consists of the Oil Freight Futures, which are a three month strip of the nearest calendar quarter of futures contracts on specified indexes (each a “Reference Index”) that measure rates for shipping crude oil. Each Reference Index is published each United Kingdom business day by the Baltic Exchange and measures the charter rate for shipping crude oil in a specific size category of cargo ship and for a specific route – TD3C or TD20. The two Reference Indexes are as follows:
| ● | TD3C: the TD3C Index; and |
| ● | TD20: the TD20 Index. |
The Oil Freight Futures currently constituting the BWET Benchmark Portfolio as of March 31, 2026 include:

Breakwave Dry Bulk Shipping ETF
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, dry bulk spot rates remained relatively flat, with the benchmark Baltic Dry Index averaging about 3% lower versus the previous period. However, on a year-over-year basis, The Baltic Dry Index averaged more than 70% higher, leading to one of the best first quarter periods in history, especially given the seasonal weakness the dry bulk market usually experiences.
Strong demand for iron ore transportation combined with solid bauxite volumes out of West Africa continue to be the main reasons for the strong performance, while favorable weather patterns that usually disrupt operations were generally absent.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, iron ore trade volumes from Brazil to China remained strong, while some export volumes out of West Africa because of the brand new Simandou mine project in Guinea also marginally added to the positive sentiment. As a result, portside inventories of iron ore increased to record levels. The Chinese economy continues to grow at relatively weak rates versus recent years while the domestic real estate market remains subdued due to limited demand for new construction and thus demand for steel products. Iron ore prices remained rangebound to approximately $100/ton during the period due to the beforementioned demand. Coal volumes have declined versus last year, while coal prices remained weak versus recent past, because of a slower pace in growth from China and India.
The recent conflict in the Middle East increases the likelihood of slower global economic growth, especially in Asia. Furthermore, record high portside iron ore inventories remain a headwind for any significant growth in iron ore trade. A lot of uncertainty remains around trade policies, geopolitics and the effect on trade, and thus the risk of adverse impact on shipping remains elevated.
The dry bulk orderbook continues to increase throughout the period from relatively low levels, currently standing at approximately 13% of the global fleet, as period rates remained elevated, incentivizing owners to place new orders.

The graphs above compare the returns of BDRY with the benchmark portfolio returns for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
The difference in the NAV price and the benchmark value often results in the appearance of a NAV premium or discount to the benchmark. Differences in the benchmark return and the BDRY net asset value per share are due primarily to the following factors:
| ● | Benchmark portfolio uses settlement prices of freight futures vs. BDRY closing share price for BDRY, |
| ● | Benchmark portfolio roll methodology assumes rolls that happen evenly at fractions of lots vs. BDRY that transacts at real minimum lot size available pursuant to market practice (5 lots minimum), |
| ● | Benchmark portfolio assumes rolls that are happening at daily settlement prices vs. BDRY that transacts at prevailing prices during the day that might or might not be equal to settlement prices. |
| ● | Benchmark portfolio assumes no trading commissions vs. BDRY that pays 10bps of nominal value in commissions per transaction, |
| ● | Benchmark portfolio assumes no clearing fees vs BDRY that pays approximately $12 per lot in clearing fees per transaction, |
| ● | Benchmark portfolio assumes no management fees vs. BDRY fee structure, and |
| ● | Creations and redemptions that lead to transactions in the freight futures market might occur at prices that might be different versus the settlement prices. |

Breakwave Tanker Shipping ETF
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, crude tanker spot rates increased considerably, with average spot rates for Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC) more than doubling sequentially during the period. Spot rates jumped to the highest level in many years shortly after the military conflict in the Middle East began in early March.
Geopolitical turmoil is the primary reason for the significant outperformance in tanker rates. The recent disruption caused by the U.S. and Iran conflict has led to a major readjustment in tanker rates as risk premiums, reshuffling of routes, and more importantly, the closure of the straits of Hormuz, has pushed spot tanker rates significantly higher. Although very little cargo flow out of the Arabian Gulf found its way to the global oil markets, the implied rate for such voyages reached an all-time high during the month of March. The trajectory of the current conflict is likely to be the primary determinant of tanker rates. Given the heightened uncertainty, the risk of a significant correction in spot tanker rates is also very high.
Looking at market fundamentals, China remains the principal source of demand growth for crude oil, and consequently for crude tanker demand. Nonetheless, slower oil import growth and weaker domestic demand in China pose material downside risks to tanker rates. The Chinese economy has slowed, and although import activity has shown relative stability, crude oil imports declined in 2024 and showed only a small increase in 2025. Yet, most of the increase reflects inventory builds and not real demand.
The resolution of the current conflict in the Middle East will be the primary determinant of spot tanker rates near term. Given the extremely fluid situation as of mid-April, it is difficult to predict any outcome with any degree of confidence. The risk of a sharp correction in spot rates is high, which will have a negative impact on freight futures as well, and as a result, on BWET price performance.
The crude tanker orderbook for the next few years is now above historical averages, with few new vessel deliveries during the next year, increasing to significantly higher deliveries in the subsequent years, leading to increases in fleet supply.

| ● | Subtracting any liabilities; and | |
| ● | Dividing that total by the total number of outstanding shares. |
The Administrator calculates the NAV of the Funds once each NYSE Arca trading day. The NAV for a particular trading day is released after 4:00 p.m. E.T. Regular trading on the NYSE Arca typically closes at 4:00 p.m. E.T. The Administrator uses the Baltic Exchange settlement price for the Freight Futures and option contracts. The Administrator calculates or determines the value of all other BDRY and BWET investments using market quotations, if available, or other information customarily used to determine the fair value of such investments as of the close of the NYSE Arca (normally 4:00 p.m. E.T.), in accordance with the current Administrative Agency Agreement among U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, the Fund and the Sponsor.
In addition, in order to provide updated information relating to the Funds for use by investors and market professionals, an updated indicative fund value (“IFV”) is made available through on-line information services throughout the core trading hours of 9:30 a.m. E.T. to 4:00 p.m. E.T. on each trading day. The IFV is calculated by using the prior day’s closing NAV per share of each Fund as a base and updating that value throughout the trading day to reflect changes in the most recently reported trade price for the futures and/or options held by each Fund. Certain Freight Futures brokers provide real time pricing information to the general public either through their websites or through data vendors such as Bloomberg or Reuters. The IFV disseminated during NYSE Arca core trading hours should not be viewed as an actual real time update of the NAV, because the NAV is calculated only once at the end of each trading day based upon the relevant end of day values of each of the Funds’ investments.
The IFV is disseminated on a per share basis every 15 seconds during regular NYSE Arca core trading session hours. The customary trading hours of the Freight Futures trading are 3:00 a.m. E.T. to 12:00 p.m. E.T. This means that there is a gap in time at the beginning and/or the end of each day during which the Funds’ shares are traded on the NYSE Arca, but real-time trading prices for contracts are not available. During such gaps in time the IFV will be calculated based on the end of day price of such contracts from the Baltic Exchange’s immediately preceding trading session. In addition, other investments held by the Funds will be valued by the Administrator, using rates and points received from client-approved third party vendors (such as Reuters and WM Company) and advisor or broker-dealer quotes. These investments will not be included in the IFV.
54
The NYSE Arca disseminates the IFV through the facilities of CTA/CQ High Speed Lines. In addition, the IFV is published on the NYSE Arca’s website and is available through on-line information services such as Bloomberg and Reuters.
Dissemination of the IFV provides additional information that is not otherwise available to the public and is useful to investors and market professionals in connection with the trading of the Funds’ shares on the NYSE Arca. Investors and market professionals are able throughout the trading day to compare the market price of the Funds’ shares and the IFV. If the market price of the Funds’ shares diverges significantly from the IFV, market professionals will have an incentive to execute arbitrage trades. For example, if the Funds’ shares appear to be trading at a discount compared to the IFV, a market professional could purchase the Funds’ shares on the NYSE Arca and take the opposite position in Freight Futures. Such arbitrage trades can tighten the tracking between the market price of the Funds’ shares and the IFV and thus can be beneficial to all market participants.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Preparation of the combined financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the application of appropriate accounting rules and guidance, as well as the use of estimates. Each Fund’s application of these policies involves judgments and the use of estimates. Actual results may differ from the estimates used and such differences could be material. The Funds hold a significant portion of their assets in futures contracts and money market funds, which are held at fair value.
There were no material estimates, which involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and had or are reasonably likely to have had a material impact on the Funds’ financial condition, used in the preparation of these combined financial statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Funds do not anticipate making use of borrowings or other lines of credit to meet their obligations. The Funds meets their liquidity needs in the normal course of business from the proceeds of the sale of their investments or from the cash, and/or cash equivalents that they hold. The Funds’ liquidity needs include: redeeming their shares, providing margin deposits for existing Benchmark Component Instruments, the purchase of additional Benchmark Component Instruments, and paying expenses.
The Funds generate cash primarily from (i) the sale of Creation Baskets and (ii) interest earned on cash, cash equivalents and its investments in collateralizing Treasury Securities, if any. Generally, all of the net assets of the Funds are allocated to trading in Benchmark Component Instruments. Most of the assets of the Funds are held in cash and/or cash equivalents that could or are used as margin or collateral for trading in Benchmark Component Instruments. The percentage that such assets bear to the total net assets will vary from period to period as the market values of the Benchmark Component Instruments change. Interest earned on interest-bearing assets of the Funds are paid to the Funds. BDRY earned $273,914 and $409,695, respectively, in interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and $985,162 and $883,076, respectively, in interest income during the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. BWET earned $80,765 and $10,616, respectively, in interest income during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and $118,335 and $55,633, respectively, in interest income during the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
The investments of the Funds in Benchmark Component Instruments could be subject to periods of illiquidity because of market conditions, regulatory considerations and other reasons. Such conditions could prevent the Funds from promptly liquidating a position in Benchmark Component Instruments. Commodity exchanges may limit fluctuations in certain futures contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as “daily limits.” During a single day, no futures trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. Once the price of a futures contract has increased or decreased by an amount equal to the daily limit, positions in such futures contracts can neither be taken nor liquidated unless the traders are willing to effect trades at or within the limit. Futures contract prices have occasionally moved to the daily limit for several consecutive days with little or no trading. Such market conditions could prevent the Funds from promptly liquidating their futures positions.
Because the Funds trade futures contracts, their capital is at risk due to changes in the value of these contracts (market risk) or the inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the contracts (credit risk).
55
Market Risk
Trading in Benchmark Component Instruments such as futures contracts will involve the Funds entering into contractual commitments to purchase or sell specific amounts of instruments at a specified date in the future. The gross or face amount of the contracts is expected to significantly exceed the future cash requirements of the Funds as the Funds intend to close out any open positions prior to the contractual expiration date. As a result, the Funds’ market risk is the risk of loss arising from the decline in value of the contracts. The Funds consider the “fair value” of derivative instruments to be the unrealized gain or loss on the contracts. The market risk associated with the settlement of contracts will be limited to the aggregate face amount of the contracts held.
The exposure of the Funds to market risk will depend on a number of factors including the markets for the specific instrument, the volatility of freight rates, the liquidity of the instrument-specific market and the relationships among the contracts held by the Funds.
Credit Risk
When the Funds enter into Benchmark Component Instruments, they will be exposed to the credit risk that the counterparty will not be able to meet its obligations. For purposes of credit risk, the counterparty for the Benchmark Component Instruments traded on or cleared by the Baltic Exchange and other futures exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with those exchanges. In general, clearinghouses are backed by their members who may be required to share in the financial burden resulting from the nonperformance of one of their members, which should significantly reduce credit risk. There can be no assurance that any counterparty, clearinghouse, or their financial backers will satisfy their obligations to the Funds.
The Sponsor will attempt to minimize certain of these market and credit risks by normally:
| ● | executing and clearing trades with creditworthy counterparties, as determined by the Sponsor; |
| ● | limiting the outstanding amounts due from counterparties of the Funds; |
| ● | not posting margin directly with a counterparty; |
| ● | limiting the amount of margin or premium posted at the FCM; and |
| ● | ensuring that deliverable contracts are not held to such a date when delivery of an underlying asset could be called for. |
The Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”) requires all FCMs, such as the Funds’ clearing brokers, to meet and maintain specified fitness and financial requirements, to segregate customer funds from proprietary funds and account separately for all customers’ funds and positions, and to maintain specified books and records open to inspection by the staff of the CFTC. The CFTC has similar authority over introducing brokers, or persons who solicit or accept orders for commodity interest trades but who do not accept margin deposits for the execution of trades. The CEA authorizes the CFTC to regulate trading by FCMs and by their officers and directors, permits the CFTC to require action by exchanges in the event of market emergencies, and establishes an administrative procedure under which customers may institute complaints for damages arising from alleged violations of the CEA. The CEA also gives the states powers to enforce its provisions and the regulations of the CFTC.
On November 14, 2013, the CFTC published final regulations that require enhanced customer protections, risk management programs, internal monitoring and controls, capital and liquidity standards, customer disclosures and auditing and examination programs for FCMs. The rules are intended to afford greater assurances to market participants that customer segregated funds and secured amounts are protected, customers are provided with appropriate notice of the risks of futures trading and of the FCMs with which they may choose to do business, FCMs are monitoring and managing risks in a robust manner, the capital and liquidity of FCMs are strengthened to safeguard the continued operations and the auditing and examination programs of the CFTC and the self-regulatory organizations are monitoring the activities of FCMs in a thorough manner.
56
Regulatory Environment
The regulation of futures markets, futures contracts, and futures exchanges has historically been comprehensive. The CFTC and the exchanges are authorized to take extraordinary actions in the event of a market emergency including, for example, the retroactive implementation of speculative position limits, increased margin requirements, the establishment of daily price limits and the suspension of trading.
The regulation of commodity interest transactions in the U.S. is an evolving area of law and is subject to ongoing modification by governmental and judicial action. Considerable regulatory attention has been focused on non-traditional investment pools that are publicly distributed in the U.S. There is a possibility of future regulatory changes within the U.S. altering, perhaps to a material extent, the nature of an investment in the Funds, or the ability of the Funds to continue to implement their investment strategies. In addition, various national governments outside of the U.S. have expressed concern regarding the disruptive effects of speculative trading in the commodities markets and the need to regulate the derivatives markets in general. The effect of any future regulatory change on the Funds are impossible to predict but could be substantial and adverse.
The CFTC possesses exclusive jurisdiction to regulate the activities of commodity pool operators and commodity trading advisors with respect “commodity interests,” such as futures, swaps and options, and has adopted regulations with respect to the activities of those persons and/or entities. Under the CEA, a registered CPO, such as the Sponsor, is required to make annual filings with the CFTC and NFA describing its organization, capital structure, management and controlling persons. In addition, the CEA authorizes the CFTC to require and review books and records of, and documents prepared by, registered CPOs. Pursuant to this authority, the CFTC requires CPOs to keep accurate, current and orderly records for each pool that they operate. The CFTC may suspend the registration of a commodity pool operator (1) if the CFTC finds that the operator’s trading practices tend to disrupt orderly market conditions, (2) if any controlling person of the operator is subject to an order of the CFTC denying such person trading privileges on any exchange, and (3) in certain other circumstances. Suspension, restriction or termination of the Sponsor’s registration as a commodity pool operator would prevent it, until that registration were to be reinstated, from managing the Funds, and might result in the termination of the Funds if a successor sponsor is not elected pursuant to the Trust Agreement.
The Funds’ investors are afforded prescribed rights for reparations under the CEA. Investors may also be able to maintain a private right of action for violations of the CEA. The CFTC has adopted rules implementing the reparation provisions of the CEA, which provide that any person may file a complaint for a reparations award with the CFTC for violation of the CEA against a floor broker or an FCM, introducing broker, commodity trading advisor, CPO, and their respective associated persons.
Pursuant to authority in the CEA, the NFA has been formed and registered with the CFTC as a registered futures association. At the present time, the NFA is the only self-regulatory organization for commodity interest professionals, other than futures exchanges. The CFTC has delegated to the NFA responsibility for the registration of CPOs and FCMs and their respective associated persons. The Sponsor is a member of the NFA and, as such, it will be subject to NFA standards relating to fair trade practices, financial condition and consumer protection. The NFA also arbitrates disputes between members and their customers and conducts registration and fitness screening of applicants for membership and audits of its existing members. Neither the Trust nor the Funds are required to become a member of the NFA.
The regulations of the CFTC and the NFA prohibit any representation by a person registered with the CFTC or by any member of the NFA, that registration with the CFTC, or membership in the NFA, in any respect indicates that the CFTC or the NFA has approved or endorsed that person or that person’s trading program or objectives. The registrations and memberships of the parties described in this summary must not be considered as constituting any such approval or endorsement. Likewise, no futures exchange has given or will give any similar approval or endorsement.
Futures exchanges in the U.S. are subject to varying degrees of regulation under the CEA depending on whether such exchange is a designated contract market, exempt board of trade or electronic trading facility. Clearing organizations are also subject to the CEA and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder as administered by the CFTC. The CFTC’s function is to implement the CEA’s objectives of preventing price manipulation and excessive speculation and promoting orderly and efficient commodity interest markets. In addition, the various exchanges and clearing organizations themselves exercise regulatory and supervisory authority over their member firms.
57
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was enacted in response to the economic crisis of 2008 and 2009 and it significantly altered the regulatory regime to which the securities and commodities markets are subject. To date, the CFTC has issued proposed or final versions of almost all of the rules it is required to promulgate under the Dodd-Frank Act. The provisions of the law include the requirement that position limits be established on a wide range of commodity interests, including agricultural, energy, and metal-based commodity futures contracts, options on such futures contracts and cleared and uncleared swaps that are economically equivalent to such futures contracts and options; new registration and recordkeeping requirements for swap market participants; capital and margin requirements for “swap dealers” and “major swap participants,” as determined by the law and applicable regulations; reporting of all swaps transactions to swap data repositories; and the mandatory use of clearinghouse mechanisms for sufficiently standardized swap transactions that were historically entered into in the over-the-counter market, but are now designated as subject to the clearing requirement; and margin requirements for over-the counter swaps that are not subject to the clearing requirements.
The Dodd-Frank Act was intended to reduce systemic risks that may have contributed to the 2008/2009 financial crisis. Since the first draft of what became the Dodd-Frank Act, supporters and opponents have debated the scope of the legislation. As the administrations of the U.S. change, the interpretation and implementation will change with them. Nevertheless, regulatory reform of any kind may have a significant impact on U.S. regulated entities.
Current rules and regulations under the Dodd-Frank Act require enhanced customer protections, risk management programs, internal monitoring and controls, capital and liquidity standards, customer disclosures and auditing and examination programs for FCMs. The rules are intended to afford greater assurances to market participants that customer segregated funds and secured amounts are protected, customers are provided with appropriate notice of the risks of futures trading and of the FCMs with which they may choose to do business, FCMs are monitoring and managing risks in a robust manner, the capital and liquidity of FCMs are strengthened to safeguard the continued operations and the auditing and examination programs of the CFTC and the self-regulatory organizations are monitoring the activities of FCMs in a thorough manner.
Regulatory bodies outside the U.S. have also passed or proposed, or may propose in the future, legislation similar to that proposed by the Dodd-Frank Act or other legislation containing other restrictions that could adversely impact the liquidity of and increase costs of participating in the commodities markets. For example, the European Union Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Directive 2014/65/EU) and Markets in Financial Instruments Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 600/2014) (together “MiFID II”), which has applied since January 3, 2018, governs the provision of investment services and activities in relation to, as well as the organized trading of, financial instruments such as shares, bonds, units in collective investment schemes and derivatives. In particular, MiFID II requires EU Member States to apply position limits to the size of a net position which a person can hold at any time in commodity derivatives traded on EU trading venues and in “economically equivalent” over-the-counter (“OTC”) contracts. By way of further example, the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (Regulation (EU) No 648/2012, as amended) (“EMIR”) introduced certain requirements in respect of OTC derivatives including: (i) the mandatory clearing of OTC derivative contracts declared subject to the clearing obligation; (ii) risk mitigation techniques in respect of un-cleared OTC derivative contracts, including the mandatory margining of un-cleared OTC derivative contracts; and (iii) reporting and recordkeeping requirements in respect of all derivatives contracts. In the event that the requirements under EMIR and MiFID II apply, these are expected to increase the cost of transacting derivatives.
In addition, considerable regulatory attention has been focused on non-traditional publicly distributed investment pools such as the Funds. Furthermore, various national governments have expressed concern regarding the disruptive effects of speculative trading in certain commodity markets and the need to regulate the derivatives markets in general. The effect of any future regulatory change on the Funds is impossible to predict, but could be substantial and adverse.
58
Off Balance Sheet Financing
As of March 31, 2026, neither the Trust nor the Funds have any loan guarantees, credit support or other off-balance sheet arrangements of any kind other than agreements entered into in the normal course of business, which may include indemnification provisions relating to certain risks service providers undertake in performing services which are in the best interests of the Funds. While the exposure of the Funds under these indemnification provisions cannot be estimated, they are not expected to have a material impact on the financial position of the Funds.
Redemption Basket Obligation
Other than as necessary to meet the investment objective of the Funds and pay the contractual obligations described below, the Funds will require liquidity to redeem Redemption Baskets. The Funds intend to satisfy this obligation through the transfer of cash of the Funds (generated, if necessary, through the sale of money market funds invested in Treasury obligations) in an amount proportionate to the number of Shares being redeemed.
Contractual Obligations
The primary contractual obligations of the Funds will be with the Sponsor and certain other service providers.
Management and CTA Fees
BDRY and BWET each pay the Sponsor a management fee (the “Sponsor Fee”) in consideration of the Sponsor’s advisory services to the Funds. Additionally, BDRY and BWET each pay Breakwave a license and service fee (the “CTA Fee”).
BDRY pays the Sponsor Fee, monthly in arrears, in an amount equal to the greater of 0.15% per year of BDRY’s average daily net assets; or $125,000. BDRY’s Sponsor Fee is paid in consideration of the Sponsor’s management services to BDRY. BDRY also pays Breakwave the CTA Fee monthly in arrears, for the use of BDRY’s Benchmark Portfolio in an amount equal to 1.45% per annum of BDRY’s average daily net assets.
Breakwave has agreed to waive its CTA Fee and the Sponsor has agreed to correspondingly assume the remaining expenses of BDRY so that BDRY’s expenses do not exceed an annual rate of 3.50%, excluding brokerage commissions, interest expense, and extraordinary expenses, of the value of BDRY’s average daily net assets (the “BDRY Expense Cap”). The assumption of expenses and waiver of BDRY’s CTA Fee are contractual on the part of the Sponsor and Breakwave, respectively, through December 31, 2026. If after that date, the Sponsor and/or Breakwave no longer assumed expenses or waived the CTA Fee, respectively, BDRY could be adversely impacted, including in its ability to achieve its investment objective.
The assumption of expenses by the Sponsor for BDRY, pursuant to the BDRY Expense Cap, amounted to expenses absorbed of ($2,513) and reimbursed of $84,434 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and absorbed of ($2,513) and reimbursed of $84,434 for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, as disclosed in the Combined Statements of Operations. The waiver of Breakwave’s CTA fees, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $11,665 and $- for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $18,913 and $217,687 for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, as disclosed in the Combined Statements of Operations. BDRY currently accrues its daily expenses based upon established individual expense amounts or the BDRY Expense Cap, whichever aggregate amount is less. At the end of each month, the accrued amount is remitted to the Sponsor as the Sponsor is responsible for the payment of the routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses of the Fund. BDRY’s total expenses, prior to the assumption and waiver of expenses, amounted to $429,132 and $483,341 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $1,356,752 and $1,330,949 for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, as disclosed in the Combined Statements of Operations.
BWET pays the Sponsor Fee, monthly in arrears, in an amount equal to the greater of 0.30% per year of BWET’s average daily net assets, or $50,000. BWET’s Sponsor Fee is paid in consideration of the Sponsor’s management services to BWET. BWET also pays Breakwave the CTA Fee monthly in arrears, for the use of BWET’s Benchmark Portfolio in an amount equal to 1.45% per annum of BWET’s average daily net assets.
Breakwave has agreed to waive its CTA Fee and the Sponsor has agreed to correspondingly assume the remaining expenses of BWET so that BWET’s expenses do not exceed an annual rate of 3.50%, excluding brokerage commissions, interest expense, and extraordinary expenses, of the value of BWET’s average daily net assets (the “BWET Expense Cap”). The assumption of expenses and waiver of BWET’s CTA Fee are contractual on the part of the Sponsor and Breakwave, respectively, through December 31, 2026. If after that date, the Sponsor and/or Breakwave no longer assumed expenses or waived the CTA Fee, respectively, BWET could be adversely impacted, including in its ability to achieve its investment objective.
59
The assumption of expenses by the Sponsor for BWET, pursuant to the BWET Expense Cap, amounted to $47,632 and $112,435 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $205,749 and $265,016 for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, as disclosed in the Combined Statements of Operations. The waiver of Breakwave’s CTA fees, pursuant to the undertaking, amounted to $11,862 and $5,065 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $60,981 and $22,464 for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, as disclosed in the Combined Statements of Operations. BWET currently accrues its daily expenses based upon established individual expense category amounts or the BWET Expense Cap, whichever aggregate amount is less. At the end of each month, the accrued amount is remitted to the Sponsor as the Sponsor is responsible for the payment of the routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses of the Fund. BWET’s total expenses, prior to the assumption and waiver of expenses, amounted to $204,238 and $135,463 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $469,202 and $366,176 for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, as disclosed in the Combined Statements of Operations.
Each Fund’s ongoing fees, costs and expenses of its operation, not subject to the applicable Expense Cap include brokerage and other fees and commissions incurred in connection with the trading activities of the Fund, and extraordinary expenses (including, but not limited to, legal claims and liabilities and litigation costs and any indemnification related thereto). Expenses subject to an Expense Cap include (i) expenses incurred in connection with registering additional Shares of a Fund or offering Shares of a Fund; (ii) the routine expenses associated with the preparation and, if required, the printing and mailing of monthly, quarterly, annual and other reports required by applicable U.S. federal and state regulatory authorities, Trust meetings and preparing, printing and mailing proxy statements to Shareholders; (iii) the routine services of the Trustee, legal counsel and independent accountants; (iv) routine accounting, bookkeeping, custodial and transfer agency services, whether performed by an outside service provider or by affiliates of the Sponsor; (v) postage and insurance; (vi) costs and expenses associated with client relations and services; (vii) costs of preparation of all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns and any taxes payable on the income, assets or operations of a Fund.
While the Sponsor has agreed to pay registration fees to the SEC and any other regulatory agency in connection with the initial offering and sale of the Shares offered through each Fund’s prospectus, and the legal, printing, accounting and other expenses associated with such registration, each Funds will be responsible for any registration fees and related expenses incurred in connection with any future offer and sale of Shares of the Fund in excess of those offered through its initial prospectus.
Any general expenses of the Trust will be allocated among the Funds and any other future series of the Trust as determined by the Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion. The Trust is also responsible for extraordinary expenses, including, but not limited to, legal claims and liabilities and litigation costs and any indemnification related thereto. The Trust and/or the Sponsor may be required to indemnify the Trustee, Distributor or Administrator under certain circumstances.
The parties cannot anticipate the amount of payments that will be required under these arrangements for future periods as the NAV and trading levels to meet investment objectives for the Funds will not be known until a future date. These agreements are effective for a specific term agreed upon by the parties with an option to renew, or, in some cases, are in effect for the duration of a Fund’s existence. The parties may terminate these agreements earlier for certain reasons listed in the agreements.

| (d) | In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). This change is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment’s profit or loss and assess potential future cash flows for each reportable segment and the entity as a whole. The amendments expand a public entity’s segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), clarifying when an entity may report one or more additional measures to assess segment performance, requiring enhanced interim disclosures and providing new disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, among other new disclosure requirements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. Management has evaluated the impact of adopting this guidance with respect to the financial statements and disclosures and determined there is no impact for the Funds. |
