Comment #3

In the first paragraph of the “Principal Investment Strategies” section on page four of the Prospectus, please clarify whether the Fund will invest directly in gold.

Response #3

The Registrant notes that the Fund may invest in physical gold and has clarified the disclosure in response to the comment. Please see the revised disclosure below:

Principal Investment Strategies

The Gold Fund seeks to exceed the price return of Goldgold bullion by primarily investing under normal circumstances in Gold and Goldderivative instruments on gold bullion-related exchangedexchange traded products (“ETPs”), including Goldgold bullion-related exchange traded funds, as well as derivatives on Gold and Gold (“ETFs”) and gold bullion-related ETPsexchange traded notes (“ETNs”), backed by a portfolio of Fixed Income Instruments of varying maturities, which may be represented by options and forwards, as well as Preferred Securities Instruments. The Fund may also invest in gold-bullion related ETFs directly as well as in physical gold and derivative instruments on gold.

Gold bullion-related ETPsETFs are those that invest primarily in physical Goldgold bullion and/or over-the-counter or exchange-traded derivatives on Goldgold bullion such as forward contracts, futures contracts, and options contracts or swap contracts. Gold bullion related ETNs are those with interest and/or principal payments linked to the price of gold bullion. Derivatives are primarily used as substitutes for gold bullion because they are expected to produce returns that are substantially similar to those of gold bullion. Derivatives used by the Fund are expected to produce a significant portion of the Fund’s returns. The Fund does not invest more than 25% of Fund assets in over-the-counter derivative contracts with any one counterparty. ETFs and ETNs may employ leverage, which magnifies the changes in the underlying gold index or gold price upon which they are based. Gold bullion-related ETPs generally are not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and, generally, are not actively managed.

“Fixed Income Instruments” include bonds, debt securities, and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities as well as ETPs on such instruments and options on such ETPs. “Preferred Securities Instruments” consist of preferred securities of U.S. companies and ETPs primarily investing in preferred securities. The Gold Fund may invest in U.S. and non-U.S. Fixed Income Instruments of any maturity or duration.

June 4, 2025

Page 4

The Gold Fund normally uses option contracts on Goldgold bullion-related ETPs and Gold bullion-related ETPs, including FLEX options, to gain exposure to Goldgold bullion. The value of option contracts on Goldgold bullion-related ETPs as well as Goldgold bullion-related ETPs should closely track changes in Goldgold bullion prices.

The Gold Fund may gain long exposure via purchasing shares of Gold and/or Goldgold and/or shares of gold bullion-related ETPs or creating a synthetic long position. To achieve a synthetic long exposure, the Gold Fund buys call options of a Gold or Goldgold bullion-related ETP and, simultaneously, sells put options of the ETP with the same expiries to try to replicate the price movements of the underlying ETP. The strike and number of the call and put options contracts may differ. The combination of the long call options and sold put options seek to provide the Gold Fund with investment exposure to the Gold or Goldgold bullion-related ETP for the duration of the application option exposure. The notional exposure to an underlying Gold or Gold gold bullion-related ETP when the Gold Fund buys put and call options directly will not exceed 200% of net asset value.

Under normal circumstances, the Gold Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes in physical gold or the securities of Gold or Goldgold bullion-related ETPs or derivatives on Gold or Goldgold or gold bullion-related ETPs, the value of which are linked to Gold bullion. The Gold Fund will consider the investments of the underlying ETPs in which it invests when determining compliance with its 80% policy. Additionally, for the purposes of complying with its 80% investment policy, the Gold Fund will use the notional value of the derivatives it holds.

The Gold Fund may invest, without limitation, in derivative instruments, such as options, including FLEX options, forward and futures contracts, options on futures, or swap agreements, subject to applicable law and any other restrictions described in the Gold Fund’s prospectus or Statement of Additional Information.

As part of its strategy, the Gold Fund may employ various option strategies to generate income and/or to preserve capital. Example of strategies are:

Covered Call Writing

As part of its strategy, the Gold Fund may write (sell) call option contracts on Gold and Goldgold and gold bullion-related ETPs to generate income. If the Gold Fund gains long exposure synthetically, since the Gold Fund does not directly own shares of the ETP, these written call options will be sold short (i.e., selling a position it does not currently own). Any amount of covered call writing above the physical and synthetic long positions will be considered uncovered. The Adviser may engage in uncovered calls rather than covered calls when it believes there might be a mispricing of volatility in the market.

June 4, 2025

Page 5

It is important to note that the sale of an ETP’s call option contracts will limit the Gold Fund’s participation in the appreciation in the ETP’s price. If the price of the ETP increases, the above-referenced synthetic and/or holding the underlying ETP directly would allow the Gold Fund to experience similar percentage gains. However, if the ETP’s price appreciates beyond the strike price of one or more of the sold (short) call option contracts, the Gold Fund will lose money on those short call positions, and the losses will, in turn, limit the upside return of the Gold Fund’s synthetic and long ETP exposure. As a result, the Gold Fund’s overall strategy (i.e., the combination of the synthetic and/or long exposure to the ETP and the sold (short) the ETP’s call positions) will limit the Gold Fund’s participation in gains in the ETP’s price beyond a certain point.

When the Gold Fund engages in covered call writing with respect to an underlying ETP, it receives cash from the buyer of the call option who in exchange for that cash obtains the right to purchase the ETP on or before the expiration date at a predetermined price called the strike price. Writing covered call options is also considered long short. Generally, the notional principal amount of written covered call options will not exceed the principal amount of the synthetic or long position in the Gold or Goldgold or gold bullion-related ETP, however, the Gold Fund may write call options for an amount in excess of the value of an ETP position in the Gold Fund’s portfolio.

Uncovered Call and/or Put Writing

The Gold Fund may also write (i.e., sell) uncovered call options on securities or instruments in which it may invest but that are not currently held by the Gold Fund. The principal reason for writing uncovered call options is to realize income without committing capital to the ownership of the underlying securities or instruments. When writing uncovered call options, the Gold Fund must deposit and maintain sufficient margin with the broker-dealer through which it made the uncovered call option as collateral to ensure that the securities can be purchased for delivery if and when the option is exercised. During periods of declining securities prices or when prices are stable, writing uncovered calls can be a profitable strategy to increase the Gold Fund’s income with minimal capital risk. Uncovered calls are riskier than covered calls because there is no underlying security held by the Gold Fund that can act as a partial hedge. Uncovered calls have speculative characteristics and the potential for loss is unlimited. When an uncovered call is exercised, the Gold Fund must purchase the underlying security to meet its call obligation. There is also a risk, especially with preferred and debt securities that lack sufficient liquidity, that the securities may not be available for purchase. If the purchase price exceeds the exercise price, the Gold Fund will lose the difference.

June 4, 2025

Page 6

The Gold Fund also may write (i.e., sell) uncovered put options on securities or instruments in which it may invest but with respect to which the Gold Fund does not currently have a corresponding short position or has not deposited as collateral cash equal to the exercise value of the put option with the broker-dealer through which it made the uncovered put option. The principal reason for writing uncovered put options is to receive premium income and to acquire such securities or instruments at a net cost below the current market value. The Gold Fund has the obligation to buy the securities or instruments at an agreed upon price if the price of the securities or instruments decreases below the exercise price. If the price of the securities or instruments increases during the option period, the option will expire worthless and the Gold Fund will retain the premium and will not have to purchase the securities or instruments at the exercise price.

Call or Put Spreads

The Gold Fund may write (sell) call or put spreads instead of than stand-alone call option contracts to seek increased participation in the potential appreciation of an underlying security or instrument’s ’s share price, while still generating net premium income. In a call option spread, the Gold Fund may sell (write) an out-of-the-money call option (above the current market price) while also purchasing a another call option that is further out of the money. Similarly, in a put option spread, the Gold Fund may sell (write) an out-of-the-money put option (below the current market price) while purchasing a further out-of-the-money put option.

Risk Reversals or Protective Collars

The Gold Fund may write (sell) risk reversals rather than stand-alone call option contracts to seek to limit loss from of an underlying security or instrument’s share price. The cost of this protection would be offset by the premiums earned from a written call option. In a risk reversal, the Gold Fund may sell (write) an out-of-the-money call option (above the current market price) call option while simultaneously purchasing an out-of-the-money put option.

Protective Puts

The Gold Fund may purchase out-of-the-money protective put options to seek to limit loss from its underlying ETP share price. The cost of protection may reduce the income generated in the portfolio.

Call Purchases

June 4, 2025

Page 7

The Gold Fund may purchase call options to seek to gain price appreciation from its underlying ETP share price. The cost of the purchase may reduce the income generated in the portfolio.

The Fund intends to utilize traditional exchange-traded options contracts and/or FLexible EXchange® Options (“FLEX Options”). Traditional exchange-traded options have standardized terms, such as the type (call or put), the reference asset, the strike price and expiration date. Exchange-listed options contracts are guaranteed for settlement by the Options Clearing Corporation (“OCC”). FLEX Options are a type of exchange-listed options contract with uniquely customizable terms that allow investors to customize key terms like type, strike price and expiration date that are standardized in a typical options contract. FLEX Options are also guaranteed for settlement by the OCC. Option contracts can either be “American” style or “European” style. The Fund generally utilizes European style option contracts, which may only be exercised by the holder of the option contract on the expiration date of such option contract and settled in
