Note 11. CREDIT DERIVATIVES AND CREDIT-RELATED CONTINGENCY FEATURES
Credit derivatives generally require the seller to make a payment to the buyer in the event the underlying referenced security or index to the
contract defaults or another triggering event, as defined in the applicable derivative contract, occurs. The Trust sells credit derivative contracts for speculative investment purposes. The following table summarizes the notional amounts of credit
derivative contracts sold by the Trust by their maturity for contracts which are outstanding at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Notional amounts are disclosed as they represent the maximum potential payout, however, management believes that the carrying value of these
contracts is a more relevant measure of these obligations. At March 31, 2026, the carrying value of such credit derivative contracts
sold was $(5,386,413). At December 31, 2025,
the carrying value of such credit derivative contracts purchased was $26,945,598.
The Trust does not monitor its exposure to credit derivatives based on the notional amounts because that measure does not take into consideration
the probability of a credit default event, the legal right to offset assets and liabilities by a counterparty, or collateral posted. However, the notional value of these credit derivative contracts has been included to provide information about the
magnitude of involvement with these types of contracts.
