Net Asset Value financial
"Net Asset Value End of Month | | $ | 858,516,466 |"
Net asset value is the total value of an investment fund's assets minus any liabilities, divided by the number of shares or units outstanding. It represents the per-share worth of the fund, similar to how the value of a house is determined by its total worth after debts are subtracted. Investors use it to gauge the true value of their holdings and to compare different investment options.
Net Asset Value Per Share financial
"Net Asset Value Per Share (14,750,000 Shares) | | $ | 58.20 |"
Net asset value per share is the total value of a fund’s assets minus its liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding shares, so it represents what each share would be worth if the fund sold everything and paid its debts. Investors use it like a per-share “break-up” price to compare against the market trading price — if shares trade below NAV per share they may be seen as discounted, above it as a premium.
Commodity Exchange Act regulatory
"as required pursuant to Rule 4.22 under the Commodity Exchange Act."
A federal law that creates the rulebook for trading commodity futures and options, setting standards to prevent market manipulation, fraud, and unfair practices. It matters to investors because those rules and the government oversight that enforces them help keep prices honest, ensure transparent reporting, and reduce the risk that markets will be distorted — similar to traffic laws that make driving safer and more predictable.
