Comment
1: The Staff previously asked the GraniteShares 2x Long AMC Daily ETF and GraniteShares 2x Long GME Daily ETF to confirm that each
intends to use a value-at-risk test “VAR” in complying with Rule 18f-4 under the Investment Company Act. The Staff also asks
each Fund to supplementally the designated index that it would use as its designated reference portfolio for the relative VAR test. Please
supplementally explain how each Fund will comply with the VAR test. please also confirm each Fund’s understanding that because
the Fund seeks exposure to a single stock, the Staff would not object if the Fund complies with the relative VAR test by comparing the
VAR of the Fund’s portfolio to the VAR of that single stock.

Response:
The Registrant would use the Solactive single stock indices, which capture the performance of a single stock on a total return basis,
i.e. they include corporate actions, such as dividend distributions, splits and reverse splits.
