New ETFs with Sustainability, ESG, and Electrification Themes

ZSC : USCF Sustainable Commodity Strategy Fund

Investment Strategy
The Fund seeks total return by providing broad exposure to commodities across three different sustainability focused themes: agriculture, renewable energy and electrification. The Fund will invest primarily in commodities derivative instruments and equity securities of issuers that are economically tied to particular commodities. The Adviser uses a proprietary methodology to select the commodities derivatives and equity securities in which the Fund invests. The Fund’s exposure to each of the three sustainability themes will be approximately equally weighted.

The Fund seeks to achieve a “net-zero” carbon footprint by purchasing carbon offset investments in an amount equal to the estimated aggregate carbon emissions of the Fund’s holdings.

- Upstream exposure to the growing sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, and electrification transition.

- Allocates higher exposures to those agricultural commodities, renewable energies and expected to be most positively impacted by the sustainable agriculture, renewable energy, and electrification transition.

- Designed sustainability to deliver these exposures while seeking a net-zero carbon outcome.

After all the Commodities Investments have been selected, the Adviser estimates the carbon emissions associated with each Commodities Investment. 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 Investments 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. The resulting portfolio will exhibit an approximate, net-zero carbon footprint. Carbon emissions estimates will be updated annually.

ZSB : USCF Sustainable Battery Metals Strategy Fund

Investment Strategy
As the global economy undergoes Electrification, the infrastructure necessary to produce and store energy will require substantial amounts of certain metals. This may lead to rising prices for these metals over time.

The Fund also seeks to achieve a “net-zero” carbon footprint by purchasing carbon offset investments in an amount equal to the estimated aggregate carbon emissions of the Fund’s holdings.

- Upstream exposure to the growing electric vehicle (EV) battery and electrification adoption and energy transition.

- Allocates higher exposures to those green metals expected to be most positively impacted by the EV battery and electrification adoption and energy transition.

- Designed sustainability to deliver these exposures while seeking a net-zero carbon outcome.

After all the Metals Investments have been selected, the Adviser estimates the carbon emissions associated with each of the Metals Derivatives and each of the Metals Equities 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 ESG research firms to make such estimates. The Adviser then calculates the aggregate carbon emissions from all Metals Investments 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. The resulting portfolio will exhibit an approximate, net-zero carbon footprint. Carbon emissions estimates will be updated annually.
