The Fund seeks to provide investment results that closely correspond, before fees and expenses, to the performance of the SDCITR. The SDCITR is a total return commodity sector index designed to broadly represent major commodities. The SDCITR reflects the performance of a fully margined and collateralized portfolio of commodities futures contracts.

At any time, the SDCITR is comprised of 14 futures contracts (the “Component Futures Contracts”), weighted equally by notional amount. The SDCITR is reconstituted and rebalanced on a monthly basis. See “Additional Information about the SDCITR” below for more information about how the SDCITR is composed.

In seeking to track the SDCITR, the Fund invests in a fully margined and collateralized portfolio of commodities futures contracts that will generally consist of the Component Futures Contracts, weighted equally by notional amount. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in Commodity-Linked Investments. In determining the value of the Fund’s assets for this purpose, the Fund will value each derivative instrument using the instrument’s notional amount. The Fund’s portfolio of futures contracts is reconstituted and rebalanced on a monthly basis to reflect the changing composition of the SDCITR.

Although the Fund will seek to replicate the SDCITR’s positions in the Component Futures Contracts, the Fund may also invest in futures contracts that the portfolio managers believe are economically identical or substantially similar to the Component Futures Contracts. Also, to obtain the desired economic exposure, the Fund may invest in commodity-related derivative instruments such as cash-settled options, forward contracts, options on futures contracts, and other options. The futures contracts (including Component Futures Contracts) and other commodity-related derivative instruments in which the Fund may invest are collectively referred to herein as “Commodity-Linked Investments.”

The Fund may invest in Commodity-Linked Investments directly but it will primarily do so through the investments of its wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated in the Cayman Islands, USCF Cayman Commodity 2 (the “Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary, which has the same investment objective as the Fund, is advised by the Adviser and sub-advised by SummerHaven Investment Management, LLC (“SummerHaven” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The SDCITR is owned and maintained by SummerHaven Index Management, LLC (“SHIM”), an affiliate of SummerHaven, and is calculated and published by Bloomberg, L.P. Neither the Fund nor the Subsidiary invests directly in commodities.

In addition to the market price movements of the Fund’s Commodity-Linked Investments, which are primarily futures contracts, the Fund’s total return includes the return on any assets used to collateralize the Fund’s portfolio. In managing the collateral portion of the Fund’s investment strategy, the Adviser will seek to match the hypothetical return of the collateral portion of the SDCITR. The SDCITR’s Component Futures Contracts are hypothetically collateralized with U.S. Treasury bills (“Treasuries”) with three-month maturities, the value of which are calculated using the weekly auction rate for 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bills published by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. To collateralize its portfolio, the Fund will hold significant amounts of short-term U.S. government securities (e.g., Treasuries) and shares of money market mutual funds.

The Subsidiary’s investments are considered to be part of the Fund’s portfolio. By investing in the Subsidiary, the Fund is able to obtain greater exposure to the commodities markets while maintaining compliance with U.S. federal income taxation requirements applicable to investment companies. The Subsidiary may also hold investments used to collateralize the Fund’s portfolio.

The Fund will not invest more than 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary, as determined at the end of each fiscal quarter. The amount of the Fund’s total assets that is not invested in the Subsidiary at any given time will be invested directly by the Fund. The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment restrictions and limitations, and follows the same compliance policies and procedures, as the Fund, except that the Subsidiary may invest without limitation in Commodity-Linked Investments.

The Fund is not diversified within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

Additional Information about the SDCITR:

At any time, the SDCITR is comprised of 14 Component Futures Contracts, weighted equally by notional amount, selected each month from a universe of 27 eligible commodities and futures contracts for those commodities. The eligible futures contracts are physical non-financial commodity futures contracts traded on the Futures Exchanges in major industrialized countries, and typically have active and liquid markets. The eligible futures contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars. The universe of eligible commodities, categorized into five commodity sectors, is made up of:

The SDCITR is based on the notion that commodities with low inventories tend to outperform commodities with high inventories, as commodity prices tend to increase when supply is low and conversely tend to decrease when supply is high. To help assess the current state of commodity inventories, the SDCITR analyzes price-based signals (i.e., backwardation, contango, and momentum) within the universe of eligible commodity futures contracts, as discussed further below.

The SDCITR is rules-based and reconstituted and rebalanced monthly using quantitative formulas, subject to the constraint that each of the four primary commodity sectors above (Petroleum, Grains, Industrial Metals, and Precious Metals) must be represented by at least one Component Futures Contract. There is no requirement that the non-primary sector be so represented. Monthly commodity selection is a two-step process that occurs on the fifth business day prior to the end of the calendar month (the “Selection Date”) based upon the following:

The 14 commodities selected are included in the SDCITR for the next month on an equally-weighted basis by notional amount. Due to the dynamic monthly commodity selection, the primary sector weights will vary from approximately 7% to 43% over time, depending on the price observations each month.

The Selection Date for the SDCITR is the fifth business day prior to the end of that calendar month. Following the Selection Date, the SDCITR is reconstituted and rebalanced accordingly during the last four business days of the month.

SHIM determines the composition of the SDCITR and relative components of the securities of the SDCITR. Bloomberg, L.P. is not affiliated with the USCF ETF Trust (the “Trust”), the Fund, the Adviser or the Distributor (as defined below) or with any affiliate of these companies.
