Why Corn Matters

Corn is a vital component of the global food and energy supply chain, used in livestock feed, ethanol, and countless industrial applications.[3]

Demand for corn is rising exponentially due to world population growth and the expansion of the global middle class.[4]

The Teucrium Corn Fund (CORN) seeks to offer exposure to corn futures in a brokerage account, providing access without direct futures trading.

CORN in a Portfolio Context:

  • Diversification Consideration: Corn futures have historically shown low correlation to U.S. equities, which may help reduce overall portfolio volatility.

  • Targeted Exposure: Corn markets are influenced by unique macroeconomic and seasonal factors, offering potential non- correlated performance drivers.

  • Simplified Access: CORN uses a rules-based, futures based strategy designed to reduce the impact of common futures market structures such as contango.

Why Teucrium?

✔ Over a decade of experience in commodity-focused ETFs.
✔ A Suite of ETFs targeting the most crucial global commodities.
✔ Committed to simplifying exposure to commodity markets.

Non-Correlated
Diversification

Agricultural commodities historically show low correlation with traditional asset classes like stocks, bonds, and gold.

Adding agricultural ETFs can help stabilize your portfolio during periods of market volatility.

Proven Performance
in Market Downturns

The Teucrium Agricultural Fund Index has demonstrated consistent outperformance during major market corrections.


Example: Outperformed the S&P 500 in all 7 of the last 7 corrections since 2012.

Tangible
Inflation Hedge

Rising global populations and increasing demand for food create structural growth opportunities.


Agricultural ETFs provide exposure to essential commodities like corn, wheat, soybeans, and sugar.

Commodities & Futures Risks:
Commodities and futures generally are volatile, and instruments whose underlying investments include commodities and futures are not suitable for all investors. Futures may be affected by:

  • Backwardation: A market condition in which a futures price is lower in the distant delivery months than in the near delivery months. As a result, the Fund may benefit because it would be selling more expensive contracts and buying less expensive ones on an ongoing basis.

  • Contango: A condition in which distant delivery prices for futures exceed spot prices, often due to costs of storing and insuring the underlying commodity. Opposite of backwardation. As a result, the Fund’s total return may be lower than might otherwise be the case because it would be selling less expensive contracts and buying more expensive ones.

Definitions:

  • Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT): A commodity exchange established in 1848 that today trades in both agricultural and financial contracts. The CBOT originally traded only agricultural commodities. Now, the CBOT offers options and futures contracts on a wide range of products including metal, U.S. T-Bonds, and energy.

  • Spot: The futures contract month nearest expiration and delivery month for futures contracts.


Additional Risks and Disclosure:
This material must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing. To obtain a current prospectus see below, or visit www.teucrium.com/etfs.corn

The Fund is a commodity pool regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The Fund, which is an ETP, is not a mutual fund or any other type of investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and is not subject to regulation thereunder.

Because the Fund will invest primarily in corn futures contracts and other derivative instruments based on the price of corn, an investment in the Fund will subject the investor to the risks of the corn market, and this could result in substantial fluctuations in the price of the Fund’s shares. Funds that focus on a single sector generally experience greater volatility.

Futures investing is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. An investor may lose all or substantially all of an investment in the Fund. Investing in commodity interests subjects the Fund to the risks of its related industry. Unlike mutual funds, the Fund generally will not distribute dividends to its shareholders. Investors may choose to use the Fund as a means of investing indirectly in corn, and there are risks involved in such investments. Prior to the launch of the Teucrium Corn Fund, Teucrium Trading, LLC had never operated a commodity pool. Investors may choose to use the Fund as a vehicle to hedge against the risk of loss, and there are risks involved in such hedging activities. An investment in the Fund is subject to correlation risk. Your return on an investment in the Fund may differ from the return of the Benchmark, changes in the Fund’s NAV, and the spot price of corn. Therefore, you may not be able to effectively use the Fund to hedge against corn-related losses or to indirectly invest in corn.

For a complete description of the Fund’s principal investment risks, please refer to the prospectus.

This material is not an offer or solicitation of any kind to buy or sell any securities outside of the United States of America.

Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss.
