Fund Description: GraniteShares Bloomberg Commodity Broad Strategy No K-1 ETF is an actively managed exchange-traded fund or Actively Managed ETF which is a separate investment portfolio of the GraniteShares ETF Trust, an open-end investment management company. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The GraniteShares Bloomberg Commodity Broad Strategy No K-1 ETF seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is an actively managed ETF and thus, does not seek to replicate the performance of a specific index, but rather uses an active investment strategy to meet its investment objective, however, this actively managed ETF has an index-based benchmark, the Bloomberg Commodity Index. Accordingly, the ETF’s investment advisor, has discretion on a daily basis to actively manage the Fund’s portfolio in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and investment policies. INDEX DESCRIPTION: The Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM Benchmark) is designed to be a highly liquid and broad benchmark for commodities futures investments. The BCOM Benchmark provides broad-based exposure to commodities as an asset class, since no single commodity or commodity sector dominates the BCOM Benchmark. The weightings of the components of the BCOM Benchmark are based on (1) liquidity data, which is the relative amount of trading activity of a particular commodity; (2) production data, which measures the importance of a commodity to the world economy; and (3) diversification rules that attempt to reduce disproportionate weightings of any single commodity. Rather than being driven by micro-economic events affecting one commodity market or sector, the BCOM Benchmark is comprised of futures contracts on a broad basket of underlying commodities, which potentially reduces volatility in comparison with narrower commodity baskets. Currently, the BCOM Benchmark consists of 22 commodities futures contracts with respect to 20 commodities: aluminum, coffee, copper, corn, cotton, crude oil (WTI and Brent), gold, ULS Diesel, lean hogs, live cattle, natural gas, nickel, silver, soybean meal, soybean oil, soybeans, sugar, unleaded gas, wheat (Chicago and KC HRW), and zinc. The BCOM Benchmark reflects the return from these commodity futures contracts. FUND STRATEGY: While the Fund generally will seek exposure to the commodity futures markets included in the BCOM Benchmark, the Fund is not an index tracking ETF and will seek to improve its performance, in part through a cash management strategy consisting of investments in investment grade fixed income securities issued by various U.S. public-sector or corporate entities (Fixed Income Securities). The Adviser will use such instruments to generate a total return for investors and exercise its discretion in the use of such instruments to seek to optimize the investment performance of the Fund. In addition, the Fund at times may actively select investments with differing maturities from the underlying components of the BCOM Benchmark, may not invest in all of the BCOM Benchmark’s components or in the same proportion as the BCOM Benchmark, may invest in commodity-linked derivative instruments and other commodity-linked instruments outside the BCOM Benchmark, and may emphasize some commodity sectors more than others. The Fund is called No K1 because it is designed to operate differently than commodity-based exchange traded funds that distribute a Schedule K-1 to shareholders. The Fund is designed to be taxed like a conventional mutual fund and therefore will deliver a Form 1099 to investors, from which income, gains, and losses can be entered onto the investor’s tax return. The Fund expects initially to gain exposure to the commodity futures markets by investing in commodity futures contracts. The Fund does not expect to invest directly in Commodity Futures. The Fund expects to gain exposure to these investments by investing a portion of its assets in the GraniteShares BCOM Cayman Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the Subsidiary). The Subsidiary is advised by the Adviser. The Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary is intended to provide the Fund with exposure to commodity futures markets. FUND MANAGEMENT: GraniteShares Advisors LLC serves as the investment adviser to the Fund.
