Income
Tax
Information
Each
Fund
is
treated
as
an
entity
separate
from
the
Trust’s other
funds
for
federal
income
tax
purposes.
It
is
each
Fund’s
policy
to
comply
with
the
requirements
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
of
1986,
as
amended,
applicable
to
regulated
investment
companies,
and
to
distribute
substantially
all
of
its
taxable
income
to
its
shareholders.
Therefore,
no
U.S.
federal
income
tax
provision
is
required.
Management
has
analyzed
tax
laws
and
regulations
and
their
application
to
the
Funds
as
of
August
31,
2024,
inclusive
of
the
open
tax
return
years,
and
does
not
believe
that
there
are
any
uncertain
tax
positions
that
require
recognition
of
a
tax
liability
in
the
Funds’
financial
statements.
Management’s
analysis
is
based
on
the
tax
laws
and
judicial
and
administrative
interpretations
thereof
in
effect
as
of
the
date
of
these
financial
statements,
all
of
which
are
subject
to
change,
possibly
with
retroactive
effect,
which
may
impact
the
Funds’
NAV.
As
of
February
29,
2024,
the
Funds
had
capital
loss
carryforwards
available
to
offset
future
realized
capital
gains
through
the
indicated
expiration
dates
as
follows:
As
of
August
31,
2024,
gross
unrealized
appreciation
and
depreciation
based
on
cost
of
investments
(including
short
positions
and
derivatives,
if
any)
for
U.S.
federal
income
tax
purposes
were
