KMLM focuses on total return using long and short positions, as determined by daily trading signals, in commodity, currency, and global fixed income futures. For tax purposes, KMLM does not hold futures but gets exposure through a wholly-owned Cayman Island subsidiary. On an annual basis, an index committee selects 22 different futures contracts from the three broad categories. Weighting to the three categories is based on historical volatility. The contracts within each category are equally weighted. The portfolio is rebalanced monthly and contracts are rolled on a market-by-market basis as contracts near their expiration. The fund may also invest in instruments not included in the index such as equities or derivatives including swaps, forwards, structured notes, and options. Before April 1, 2022, the fund was actively managed. It traded as KFA Mount Lucas Index Strategy ETF until November 10, 2022. On August 1, 2024, KFA was replaced with KraneShares in the fund name.
