Letter to Shareholders
December 31, 2024 (Unaudited)

 

Dear Shareholder,

 

Shepherd Kaplan Krochuk, LLC (“SKK”) is pleased to provide the semi-annual financial statements for the SKK Access Income Fund (the “Fund”, “SAIF”) for the six-months ended December 31, 2024.

 

Over the period between July 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024, SAIF returned +1.99% and +5.81% on a trailing 12-month basis. This performance compares favorably to the Fund’s benchmark, Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index, which returned +1.98% and +1.27%, respectively, over the same periods. Since inception, SAIF has delivered a net annualized total return of 6.58%.¹ The Fund has been able to deliver excess returns over the benchmark while realizing significantly lower volatility of returns. We are pleased with the Fund’s resilience amid the current period of ongoing geopolitical tensions, elevated interest rates, volatile inflation, and slowing economic growth. Net assets under management ended the year at $79mm. As we continue to build upon our success, we expect to onboard new investors and grow our asset base with new partners over time.

 

The Fund’s performance has benefited from allocations to niche lending strategies across asset-backed and specialty finance strategies, including payables/receivables financing, trade finance, and bridge lending in particular. During the fourth quarter, the Fund experienced notable mark-to-market losses in a concentrated subset of positions. These unrealized losses were offset by positive attribution across the broader portfolio, which resulted in a nearly flat return for the quarter. While we believe these types of simultaneous mark-to-market losses are rare, we are pleased with the Fund’s ability to protect investor capital through diversification across sectors, managers, asset types, and credits. Our forward-looking expectation for performance remains strong under the current interest rate and tepid capital market environment.

 

We believe our primary focus on short duration, high-quality, self-liquidating credit strategies will result in long-term positive uncorrelated returns over the market cycle. As banks and traditional lenders have retrenched from capital markets, we continue to see compelling opportunities both in terms of credit quality and higher expected returns specifically in sectors that traditional lenders are not able or willing to access. While the macro environment continues to present uncertainty, we believe the Fund is well-insulated from volatility associated with traditional equity and fixed income markets.

 

We are thankful for your continued support and confidence in our investment program.

 

Sincerely,

 

Richard Blair, Portfolio Manager/President

 

David Shepherd, Portfolio Manager

 

John Bosco, Treasurer/CFO

Fund Performance

For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2024 (Unaudited)

 

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide current income and, secondarily, long-term capital appreciation.

 

The Fund’s performance* for the six months, one year and since inception periods ended December 31, 2024, compared to its benchmark:

 

	6 Months	One Year	Since Inception
SKK Access Income Fund	1.99%	5.81%	12.15%
Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index**	1.98%	1.27%	5.18%

 

*

The performance data quoted is historical. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. The principal value and investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemptions of Fund shares.

**

The Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based flagship benchmark that measures the investment grade, US dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. The index includes Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate pass-throughs), ABS and CMBS (agency and non-agency). The index cannot be invested in directly and does not reflect fees and expenses.

SKK Access Income Fund

 

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2024 (Unaudited)

 

(1)	Organization

 

SKK Access Income Fund (the “Fund”) was organized as a Delaware limited partnership on October 20, 2020 and converted to a Delaware statutory trust on March 14, 2023. The Fund operates as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company that offers its shares to “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). Shares will be issued solely in private placement transactions that do not involve any “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and analogous exemptions under state securities laws. Shepherd Kaplan Krochuk, LLC (“SKK”) serves as the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The Fund’s Declaration of Trust (the “Declaration of Trust”) authorizes the issuance of an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest of the Fund (“Shares”), each of which represents an equal proportionate interest in the Fund with each other Share. Currently, the Fund offers one class of Shares. The Declaration of Trust provides that the Board may create additional classes of Shares. The primary investment objective of the Fund is to seek to provide current income and, secondarily, long-term capital appreciation. The investment objective of the Fund is non- fundamental and, therefore, may be changed without the approval of the shareholders of the Fund (the “Shareholders”).

 

The Fund is deemed to be an individual reporting segment and is not part of a consolidated reporting entity. The objective and strategy of the Fund is used by the Adviser to make investment decisions, and the results of the operations, as shown on the Statement of Operations and the Financial Highlights for the Fund is the information utilized for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The Fund is party to the expense agreements as disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements and there are no resources allocated to the Fund based on performance measurements. The Adviser is deemed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker with respect to the Fund’s investment decisions.

 

(2)	Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of these financial statements. The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”. The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are stated in United States (“U.S.”) dollars. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in these financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(a)

Portfolio Valuation

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Fund has adopted pricing and valuation procedures (the “Valuation Procedures”) to ensure investments are valued in a manner consistent with GAAP as required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Adviser as the Fund’s valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) to perform the fair valuation determinations for investments held by the Fund. In performing these determinations, the Valuation Designee utilizes a Valuation Committee comprised of individuals assigned by the Adviser. The Valuation Designee oversees the implementation of the Valuation Procedures and may consult with representatives from the Fund’s outside legal counsel or other third-party consultants in their discussions and deliberations. In addition, the Fund may engage an independent third-party valuation specialist to assist in valuing such securities in certain circumstances where a market price is not readily available.

 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity for disclosure purposes.

 

Public Investments are generally valued using prices provided by independent pricing services or obtained from other sources, such as broker-dealer quotations. Exchange-traded instruments generally are valued at the last reported sales price or official closing price on an exchange, if available. Independent pricing services typically value non-exchange traded instruments utilizing a range of market-based inputs and assumptions, including market quotations obtained from broker-dealers making markets in such instruments, cash flows and transactions for comparable instruments.

SKK Access Income Fund

 

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Debt instruments are typically valued based on such market quotations. In validating market quotations, the Valuation Committee considers different factors such as the source and the nature of the quotation in order to determine whether the quotation represents fair value. The Valuation Committee makes use of reputable financial information providers in order to obtain the relevant quotations. Short-term debt securities, which have a maturity date of 60 days or less, and of sufficient credit quality, are valued at amortized cost.

 

Underlying private investments are valued based on the Valuation Designee’s assessment and valuation determination of the underlying private investments. For these private investments, the Valuation Designee may use practical expedient or determine fair value under ASC 820 hierarchy determine its own proprietary valuation (level 3). See Note 4 below for more information on valuation and ASC 820.

 

In pricing certain instruments, particularly less liquid and lower quality securities, the pricing services may consider information about a security, its issuer or market activity provided by the Adviser.

 

(b)

Investment Transactions

 

Investment transactions are accounted for as of the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses are calculated on a specific identified cost basis.

 

(c)

Income Recognition

 

The Fund recognizes income from underlying private investments based upon distributions from such investments. Distributions reflect underlying investment income recognized as earned. The Fund recognizes income on the accrual methodology for public investments. Interest income, adjusted for the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on the accrual basis from settlement date, with the exception of securities with a forward starting effective date, where interest income is recorded on the accrual basis from effective date.

 

(d)

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The market values of foreign securities, currency holdings and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rates each NAV period. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies, if any, are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. The Fund does not separately report the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such changes are included in net realized gain (loss) and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investments on the Statement of Operations. The Fund may invest in foreign currency denominated securities and may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (cash) basis at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time or through a forward foreign currency contract. Realized foreign exchange gains (losses) arising from sales of spot foreign currencies, currency gains (losses) realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions on the Statement of Operations. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains (losses) arising from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period are included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency assets and liabilities on the Statement of Operations.

 

(e)

Income Taxes

 

The Fund has and intends to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all its taxable income to its Shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required. The Fund will file tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and various states. The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on income earned or gains realized or repatriated. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized

capital gains and net unrealized appreciation, as applicable, as the income is earned or capital gains are recorded. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.

 

At December 31, 2024, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments owned by the Fund, based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

Cost of investments for tax purposes		$	83,229,196
Gross tax unrealized appreciation			2,571,710
Gross tax unrealized (depreciation)			(6,252,226	)
Net tax unrealized appreciation / (depreciation) on investments		$	(3,680,516	)

 

The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in security transactions.

 

As of June 30, 2024, the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

 

Undistributed ordinary income		$	563,750
Undistributed long-term capital gains			—
Accumulated capital and other losses			—
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments			(652,844	)
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures			(94,990	)
Total distributable earnings		$	(184,084	)

 

(f)

Distribution of Income and Gains

 

Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with the Fund’s distribution policies and income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Differences between tax regulations and U.S. GAAP may cause timing differences between income and capital gain recognition. Further, the character of investment income and capital gains may be different for certain transactions under the two methods of accounting. As a result, income distributions and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income (loss) and realized gains (losses) reported on the Fund’s annual financial statements presented under U.S. GAAP. If the Fund determines or estimates, as applicable, that a portion of a distribution may be comprised of amounts from sources other than net investment income in accordance with its policies, accounting records (if applicable), and accounting practices, the Fund will notify Shareholders of the estimated composition of such distribution through a Section 19 Notice. For these purposes, the Fund determines or estimates, as applicable, the source or sources from which a distribution is paid, to the close of the period as of which it is paid, in reference to its internal accounting records and related accounting practices. If, based on such accounting records and practices, it is determined or estimated, as applicable, that a particular distribution does not include capital gains or paid-in surplus or other capital sources, a Section 19 Notice generally would not be issued. It is important to note that differences exist between the Fund’s daily internal accounting records and practices, the Fund’s financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and recordkeeping practices under income tax regulations. For instance, the Fund’s internal accounting records and practices may take into account, among other factors, tax-related characteristics of certain sources of distributions that differ from treatment under U.S. GAAP. Final determination of a distribution’s tax character will be provided to Shareholders when such information is available. Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital at the Fund’s fiscal year end, if any, are reflected on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been recorded to paid in capital on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between distributable earnings (accumulated loss) and paid in capital on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities to more appropriately conform U.S. GAAP to tax characterizations of distributions.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 were as follows:

 

		2024				2023
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income		$	6,792,438			$	1,738,975
Return of Capital			—				321,025
Total distributions paid		$	6,792,438			$	2,060,000

 

GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended June 30, 2024, permanent differences in book and tax accounting have been reclassified to paid-in capital and total accumulated deficit as follows:

 

Increase (Decrease)
Paid-in Capital	Total Accumulated Deficit
$(228,081)	$228,081

 

Pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan established by the Fund (the “DRIP”), participation in the DRIP is not automatic. Shareholders must affirmatively elect on a Subscription Agreement to participate in the DRIP. Shareholders who elect not to participate in the DRIP will receive all distributions in cash paid to the Shareholder of record (or, if the Shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to such nominee). Under the DRIP, the Fund’s distributions to Shareholders are reinvested in full and fractional shares.

 

(g)

Repurchase Offers

 

The Fund, from time to time, may provide liquidity to Shareholders by offering to repurchase Shares pursuant to written tenders by Shareholders (“Repurchase Offers”). Repurchase Offers will be made at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as may be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. Shareholders tendering Shares for repurchase must do so by a date specified in the notice describing the terms of the Repurchase Offer, which will precede the date that the Shares to be repurchased are valued by the Fund. Shareholders that elect to tender their Shares in the Fund will not know the price at which such Shares will be repurchased until such valuation date.

 

The Adviser will recommend to the Board (subject to the Board’s discretion) that the Fund offer to repurchase Shares from Shareholders generally on a semi-annual basis. The Adviser expects that, generally, it will recommend to the Board that each semi-annual Repurchase Offer should apply to no more than 5% of the net assets of the Fund, although the Adviser may recommend that a greater or lesser amount be repurchased at their discretion. The Adviser also may recommend that the Board approve repurchases of Fund Shares more frequently than semi-annually.

 

The results of the repurchase offers conducted for the six months ended December 31, 2024 are as follows:

 

	Commencement Date				Repurchase Request Deadline				Net Asset Value as of Repurchase Offer Date				Shares Repurchased				Amount Repurchased
		September 3, 2024				October 1, 2024			$	9.77				802,669			$	7,842,081

 

(h)

Purchase Offers

 

The Fund may accept direct orders for initial and additional purchase of shares. Good order purchases are effective as of the first business day of each calendar quarter.

 

(i)

Indemnifications

 

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum liability exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as future claims that have not yet occurred may be made against the Fund. However, management expects the risk of loss to be remote.

(3)	Agreements

 

The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser. In consideration of the advisory and other services provided by the Adviser to the Fund, the Fund will pay the Adviser a management fee (the “Management Fee”) at the annual rate of 0.65% of the average daily Managed Assets of the Fund. “Managed Assets” includes the value of all securities, loans and the amount of any leverage (portfolio or structural) the Fund may have, minus operating expenses of the Fund. During the six months ended December 31, 2024, the Fund incurred a Management Fee of $289,765.

 

UMB Fund Services, Inc. (or its designee) (“Fund Administrator”) serves as the Fund’s administrator, fund accountant, and transfer agent and performs certain administration, accounting, and investor services for the Fund. In consideration for these services, the Fund pays the Fund Administrator a fee based on the average net assets of the Fund (subject to certain minimums) and will reimburse the Fund Administrator for out-of-pocket expenses.

 

Fifth Third Bank, National Association, serves as the Fund’s custodian.

 

CCO Technology, LLC d/b/a Joot (“Joot”) provides compliance consulting services, including an external Chief Compliance Officer role. Under a compliance consulting agreement, Joot is paid a fixed monthly fee for its services.

 

(4)	Fair Value of Investments

 

Investments may be carried at fair value, to the extent necessary. The fair value of the Fund’s assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments approximates the carrying amounts presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Fund uses a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (a) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (b) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments.

 

The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

●

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

●

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not considered active; observable inputs other than observable quoted prices for the asset or liability; or inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data

 

●

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) that reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, developed based on the best information available given the circumstances

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.

 

The Valuation Procedures provide that the Fund will value its investments in Private Markets Investment Funds and direct private equity investments at fair value. The fair value of such investments as of each Determination Date ordinarily will be the capital account value of the Fund’s interest in such investments as provided by the relevant Private Markets Investment Fund manager as of or prior to the relevant Determination Date; provided that such values will be adjusted for any other relevant information available at the time the Fund values its portfolio, including capital activity and material events occurring between the reference dates of the Private Markets Investment Fund manager’s valuations and the relevant Determination Date.

 

A meaningful input in the Fund’s Valuation Procedures will be the valuations provided by the Private Markets Investment Fund managers. Specifically, the value of the Fund’s investment in Private Markets Investment Funds generally will be valued using the “practical expedient,” in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, based on the valuation provided to the Adviser by the Private Markets Investment Fund in accordance with the Private Markets Investment Fund’s own valuation policies. Generally, Private Markets Investment Fund managers value investments of their Private Markets Investment Funds at their market price if market quotations are readily available. In the absence of observable market prices, Private Markets Investment Fund managers value investments using valuation methodologies applied on a consistent basis.

 

15

 

SKK Access Income Fund

 

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

For some investments little market activity may exist. The determination of fair value by Private Markets Investment Fund managers is then based on the best information available in the circumstances and may incorporate management’s own assumptions and involves a significant degree of judgment, taking into consideration a combination of internal and external factors, including the appropriate risk adjustments for nonperformance and liquidity risks. Investments for which market prices are not observable include private investments in the equity of operating companies, real estate properties or certain debt positions.

 

The actual returns realized by a Private Markets Investment Fund on the disposition of its investments, and thus the returns realized by the Fund on its investment in such Private Markets Investment Fund, will depend on, among other factors, future operating results, the value of the assets and market conditions at the time of disposition, any related transaction costs and the timing and manner of sale, all of which may differ from the assumptions on which the Private Markets Investment Fund manager’s valuations are based. The Adviser and the Fund have no oversight or control over the implementation of a Private Markets Investment Fund manager’s valuation process.

 

In reviewing the valuations provided by Private Markets Investment Fund managers, the Valuation Procedures require the consideration of all relevant information reasonably available at the time the Fund values its portfolio. The Adviser will consider such information and may conclude in certain circumstances that the information provided by the Private Markets Investment Fund manager does not represent the fair value of a particular Private Markets Investment Fund or direct private equity.

 

In accordance with the Valuation Procedures, the Adviser will consider whether it is appropriate, in light of all relevant circumstances, to value such interests based on the net asset value reported by the relevant Private Markets Investment Fund manager, or whether to adjust such value to reflect a premium or discount to such NAV. Any such decision will be made in good faith, and subject to the review and supervision of the Board.

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2024 in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at fair value:

 

Security Classification (a)		Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Investments Valued at NAV(c)				Total

(a)	As of the six months ended December 31, 2024, the Fund held one security that was considered to be a “Level 3” security (those valued using significant unobservable inputs).
(b)	All money market funds held in the Fund are Level 1 securities. For a detailed break-out of security by industry, please refer to the Schedule of Investments.
(c)	The Fund’s investments in underlying funds are measured using NAV as a practical expedient and not categorized within the fair value hierarchy.
(d)	Other financial instruments are derivative instruments, such as futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument.

(5)	Derivative Transactions

 

The Fund may buy or sell futures to increase exposure to the market, hedge market exposure of an existing portfolio, or decrease overall market exposure. The Adviser may invest in futures in this way to achieve a desired portfolio exposure. The Fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures and they are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral at the futures commission merchant (broker) and are recorded within Deposit with Brokers on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by recalculating the value of the contracts on a monthly basis. Subsequent or variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. These amounts are reflected as receivables or payables on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed or expire, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The net realized gain (loss) and the change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts held during the period is included on the fund’s Statement of Operations.

 

The fair value of derivative instruments, not accounted for as hedging instruments, as reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2024, for the Fund was as follows:

 

						Fair Value
Type of Derivative		Commodity Risk				Asset Derivatives				Liability Derivatives				Average Quarterly Notional Value During the Six Months Ended December 31, 2024 (a)
Future Contracts	Unrealized appreciation/depreciation of open future contracts					$	350,113			$	—			$	(8,351,471	)

 

(a)	The Fund considers the average quarterly notional amounts during the year, categorized by primary underlying risk, to be representative of its derivate activities for the six months ended December 31, 2024.

 

For the six months ended December 31, 2024, financial derivative instruments had the following effect on the Statement of Operations for the Fund:

 

Type of Derivative		Realized Gain/ (Loss)				Change in Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)
Future Contracts		$	283,113			$	445,103
Total		$	283,113			$	445,103

(6)	Investment Transactions and Associated Risks

 

For the six months ended December 31, 2024, purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term investments and futures contracts, were $15,142,240 and $22,411,266, respectively.

 

Associated Risks - The Fund’s investments expose it to various risks. For further information on the Fund’s risks, please refer to the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information.

 

(7)	Risks and Uncertainties

 

Investment in the Fund is speculative and involves substantial risks, including the risk of loss of a Shareholder’s entire investment. No guarantee or representation is made that the Fund will achieve its investment objective, and investment results may vary substantially from year to year.

 

Investor Eligibility and Restrictions on Transferability and Resale - Shares will be issued solely in private placement transactions that do not involve any “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and analogous exemptions under state securities laws. Investment in the Fund may be made only by entities that are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Shares are subject to substantial restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom and subject to the restrictions described in the Fund’s prospectus. Shares will not be listed on a public exchange. An investment in the Fund may not be suitable for investors who may need the money they invest in a specified timeframe.

 

Sector Risk - To the extent the Fund focuses its investments, from time to time, in a particular sector, the Fund will be subject to a greater degree to the risks specific to that sector. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single sector to a greater extent than if the Fund’s investments were diversified across different sectors.

 

Market Disruption and Geopolitical Events - Geopolitical and other events, such as war, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, epidemics, or pandemics could result in unplanned or significant securities market closures, volatility or declines. Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine and the resulting broad-ranging economic sanctions imposed by the United States and other countries may continue to disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and companies, thereby decreasing the value of the Fund’s investments. Additionally, sudden or significant changes in the supply or prices of commodities or other economic inputs may have material and unexpected effects on both global securities markets and individual countries, regions, industries, or companies, which could reduce the value of the Fund’s investments.

 

(8)	New Accounting Pronouncement

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”),” which enhances disclosure requirements about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”). ASU 2023-07, among other things, (i) requires a single segment public entity to provide all of the disclosures as required by Topic 280, (ii) requires a public entity to disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources and (iii) provides the ability for a public entity to elect more than one performance measure. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Management has evaluated the impact of applying ASU 2023-07, and the Fund has adopted the ASU during the reporting period. The adoption of the ASU does not have a material impact on the financial statements. Required disclosure is included in Note 1.

 

(9)	Subsequent Events

 

The Fund noted no subsequent events that require disclosure in or adjustment to the Financial Statements.
