- The Optimum Yield methodology will be modified to exclude contracts with limited liquidity.
- The fund will move from static allocations to a rules-based annual review of base weights and commodities, reflecting current global production and market liquidity.
- Sector and single commodity caps and floors will be introduced during the annual rebalance to reduce concentration risk.
- An intra-year rebalancing mechanism will be added, allowing for adjustments if a large deviation from target weights occurs on monthly observation dates.
The filing stated that these changes will not affect the fund’s investment objective.
