Fund Details
Investment Objective
The USCF SummerHaven Dynamic Commodity Strategy No K-1 Fund seeks long-term total return.
Investment Strategy
The Fund is an actively managed ETF that seeks to maintain substantial economic exposure to the performance of the commodities markets primarily by investing in a wholly-owned Cayman Islands subsidiary of the Fund (the Subsidiary). The Fund will not invest more than 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. The Fund’s portfolio of futures contracts will generally consist of the commodities futures contracts included in the SDCITR, in proportionally equal weights by notional amount as the SDCITR.
The Fund’s portfolio of futures contracts is reconstituted and rebalanced on a monthly basis to reflect the changing composition of the SDCITR. The Fund may also invest in other futures contracts as well as other derivative instruments. To collateralize its derivative investments, the Fund will hold short-term U.S. government securities (e.g., Treasuries). In managing the collateral portion of the Fund’s investment strategy, the Fund’s Adviser will seek to at least match the return of the hypothetical investments used by the SDCITR to collateralize the component futures contracts, but may seek to enhance interest returns or increase portfolio liquidity by investing in money market instruments, investment grade fixed-income securities, cash, and cash equivalents.
About the SummerHaven Dynamic Commodity Index Total ReturnSM, the Fund's benchmark
The SummerHaven Dynamic Commodity Index Total ReturnSM (SDCITR) is a total return commodity sector index designed to broadly represent major commodities and reflect the performance of a fully margined and collateralized portfolio of exchange-traded commodities futures contracts. The SDCITR is based on the notion that commodities with low inventories tend to outperform commodities with high inventories, and that priced-based measures can be used to help assess the current state of commodity inventories.
The total return of the SDCITR is based upon the market price movements of its component futures contracts and the return on the hypothetical investments used to collateralize those futures contracts. At any time, the SDCITR is comprised of 14 commodity futures contracts, weighted equally by notional amount, selected each month based upon a universe of 27 eligible commodities futures contracts. The 14 selected contracts are equally weighted and represent five sectors: Petroleum (e.g., crude oil, heating oil, etc.), precious metals (e.g., gold, silver, platinum), industrial metals (e.g., zinc, nickel, aluminum, copper, etc.), grains (e.g., wheat, corn, soybeans, etc.), and non-primary sector (e.g., sugar, cotton, coffee, cocoa, natural gas, live cattle, lean hogs, feeder cattle). The SDCITR is rules-based and reconstituted and rebalanced monthly.

Historical NAV
The performance data quoted above represents past performance.
PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. Investment return and value of the Fund shares will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted.
Performance
The performance data quoted above represents past performance. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. Investment return and value of the Fund shares will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted.
The Fund's NAV is calculated by dividing the value of the Fund's total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. Share price returns are based on closing prices for the Fund and do not represent the returns an investor would receive if shares were traded at other times.
Shares of the fund are bought and sold by individual investors at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed by the Fund. Brokerage commissions apply and will reduce returns. Market returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (when NAV is normally determined for most ETFs), and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times.

The above frequency distribution chart presents information about the difference between the daily market price for shares of the Fund and the Fund's reported NAV. The amount that the Fund's market price is above the reported NAV is called the premium. The amount that the Fund's market price is below the reported NAV is called the discount. The market price is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the listing exchange, as of the time that the Fund's NAV is calculated (usually 4:00 pm Eastern time). The vertical axis of the chart shows the premium or discount expressed in basis points. The horizontal axis indicates the number of trading days in the period covered by the chart. Each bar in the chart shows the number of trading days in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated.
* A basis point is equal to 1/100th of 1%.
