The Trust is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. To achieve its investment objective, the Trust invests substantially all its net assets in U.S. Treasury obligations that mature on or shortly prior to January 24, 2014 (the Trust’s Termination Date) and in structured option contracts that provide for the Trust to pay or receive cash at the contracts’ settlement, which are scheduled to conclude on the Trust’s Termination Date. The price performance of the S&P 500 Composite Stock Price Index embedded in the structured option contracts corresponds to the price performance that the Trust seeks in accordance with its investment objective. The Trust’s commitments under the structured option contracts are collateralized by its investment in U.S. Treasuries.

At May 1, 2013, the aggregate fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) in an asset position and whose primary underlying risk exposure is equity price risk was $3,443,987.

Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

 

•

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

•

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

•

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

At May 1, 2013, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Trust’s investments and open derivative instruments, which are carried at value, were as follows:

 

Asset Description		Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Total
U.S. Treasury Obligations		$	—			$	26,038,737			$	—			$	26,038,737
Total Investments		$	—			$	26,038,737			$	—			$	26,038,737
Structured Options		$	—			$	3,443,987			$	—			$	3,443,987
Total		$	—			$	29,482,724			$	—			$	29,482,724

For information on the Trust’s policy regarding the valuation of investments and other significant accounting policies, please refer to the Trust’s most recent financial statements included in its semiannual or annual report to shareholders.
