The funds are called “No K-1” because they are designed to operate differently than commodity-based exchange traded funds that distribute the troublesome “Schedule K-1” to shareholders come tax season.

To deliver 1099s consistent with applicable tax law, the ETFs invest in an underlying subsidiary.
