3. Please revise to clearly disclose the risks that being based in China poses to investors. In particular, describe the significant regulatory, liquidity, and enforcement risks with cross-references to the more detailed discussion of these risks in the prospectus. For example, specifically discuss risks arising from the legal system in China, including risks and uncertainties regarding the enforcement of laws and that rules and regulations in China can change quickly with little advance notice; and the risk that the Chinese government may intervene or influence your operations at any time, or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers, which could result in a material change in your operations and/or the value of the securities you are registering for sale. Acknowledge any risks that any actions by the Chinese government to…

SEC staff comment
1. We note your response to comment 1 indicates that your "use of the 'primary working capital' metric is more appropriately categorized as a key performance indicator (KPI)." It is our understanding that primary working capital is a non-GAAP measure and, therefore, it needs to comply with applicable rules that generally prohibit excluding charges or liabilities that required or will require cash settlement from non-GAAP liquidity measures. Accordingly, please revise future filings to ensure the measure complies with Item 10(e)(1)(ii)(A) of Regulation S-K.
The company responded
We have reviewed Item 10(e)(1)(ii)(A) of Regulation SK. We believe Working Capital is a GAAP term intended to convey the short-term liquidity of a company and is not the same as “Primary Operating Capital” (POC). Working Capital is calculated by subtracting current liabilities from current assets. Positive Working Capital generally indicates that a company can fund its current operations and other priorities such as future growth. Working Capital is fundamentally different than the Company’s POC Key Performance Indicator (KPI) that is used by the Company to measure asset intensity rather than liquidity. The POC KPI metric is defined as the level of POC, and its ratio to net sales. The Company defines POC as accounts receivable, plus inventories, minus accounts payable. The resulting net amount is divided by the trailing three-month net sales (annualized) to derive a POC percentage. We…

5. In light of the significant number of redemptions and the unlikelihood that the company will receive significant proceeds from exercises of the warrants because of the disparity between the exercise price of the warrants and the current trading price of the common stock, expand your discussion of capital resources to address any changes in the company’s liquidity position since the business combination. If the company is likely to have to seek additional capital, discuss the effect of this offering on the company’s ability to raise additional capital.
The company responded
In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that there have been no material changes to the Company’s liquidity position since the closing of the business combination. The Company does not expect to seek additional capital in light of the number of redemptions that occurred in connection with the closing of the business combination or the unlikelihood that the Company will receive significant proceeds from exercises of the warrants in the near term.

1. The discussion of the risks related to your Up-C structure, the Tax Receivable Agreement and the resulting redirection of cash flows to the pre-business combination owners should be enhanced and given more prominence in your prospectus. Please revise your prospectus cover page to disclose that the TRA confers significant economic benefits to the pre-business combination owners, redirects cash flows to the TRA participants at the expense of the rest of your shareholders, and materially affects your liquidity. Please ensure that your revised disclosure states clearly that you expect the payments to be substantial and that the arrangement will reduce the cash provided by the tax savings that would otherwise have been available to you for other uses. Because the arrangement could be considered a windfall for the pre-business combination owners, your disclosure should quantify the range…

Comment : The Staff notes that, according to the fee and expense table included in the Summary of Fund Expenses section of the Fund’s prospectus, the expenses attributable to interest payments on borrowed funds pursuant to the Fund’s liquidity agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Liquidity Agreement”) were 0.41%, which is in line with the average annual interest rate on the Fund’s borrowings for the year ended October 31, 2022, as disclosed in the Fund’s annual shareholder report (the “Annual Report”). The Staff further notes that, according to note 7 of the Fund’s notes to financial statements in the Annual Report, that the Fund had average borrowings of $103 million at an annual interest rate of 3.80% for the year ended October 31, 2022 and that interest on borrowings outstanding under the Liquidity Agreement is charged at a rate of 1-month LIBOR plus 0.50%. Please…
The company responded
The Fund respectfully notes that, consistent with Instruction 8 to Item 4 for Form N-2, the current disclosure reflects the “interest paid in connection with outstanding” borrowings (emphasis added). In light of the unpredictability of future market interest rates, the Fund believes that populating the fee table based on actual interest payments during the most recent reporting period, as contemplated by Form N-2, is reasonable. In response to the Staff’s comment, however, the Fund will seek to further clarify the above-referenced disclosure by adding the following footnote to the “interest payments on borrowed funds” line item of its fee and expense table: “Interest payments on borrowed funds reflects the actual amount of interest expense paid by the fund for the period ending October 31, 2022. The Fund is subject to a floating interest rate and, therefore, the actual amount of…

3. Under “Security Selection” it states, “[w]hen selecting the ETFs the sponsor looks at numerous factors. These factors include, but are not limited to: maturity and liquidity.” Please disclose any additional factors that the sponsor considers in selecting ETFs for inclusion in the trust’s portfolio.
The company responded
In response to the comment, the third sentence of the fourth paragraph under “Security Selection” will be replaced with the following: These factors include, but are not limited to: · Liquidity. The sponsor selects ETFs that demonstrate adequate liquidity for the trust’s needs. · Maturity. The sponsor favors ETFs that demonstrate similar maturity characteristics to the underlying index it follows. · Investment Objective. The sponsor favors ETFs that have a clear investment objective in line with the trust’s objective and, based upon a review of publicly available information, appear to be maintaining it.

1. We note your response to prior comment 29 regarding your Hong Kong operations, sales and regulatory risks. You differentiate the regulatory environment in Hong Kong for foreign-owned entities operating in the People's Republic of China. Please expand your discussion to describe the more restrictive regulatory, liquidity, and enforcement risks for foreign-owned entities operating in China, and clarify that such rules and regulations can change quickly with little advance notice. Further, your risk factor should highlight that the Chinese government may intervene or influence your Hong Kong operations in similar ways to how it regulates its mainland China activities, and such actions may lead to negative consequences to your Hong Kong operations.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has revised the disclosure on pages 29 to 31 of Amendment No.

SEC staff comment
Comment : With respect to Funds 1 and 11, please explain why Item E.5 ( In-Kind ETF ) was not answered “Yes”; the Staff notes that the “statement regarding liquidity risk management program” (“LRM statement”) in the respective shareholder reports indicates that each Fund is considered an In-Kind ETF as defined in Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act (“In-Kind ETF”).
The company responded
We note that Funds 1 and 11 are not designated as In-Kind ETFs thus Item E.5 was not answered “Yes,” but the LRM statement inadvertently referred to each such Fund as an In-Kind ETF. Such Funds confirm that the LRM statement will be corrected for future periods and has already been corrected in the semi-annual report to shareholders for the period ended September 30, 2022.

Comment: In the risk factor “Liquidity Risk,” please explain the context of this risk given that the strategy invests in publicly-traded equity securities.
The company responded
Although the Fund will primarily invest in publicly-traded equity securities, there is some risk that even these securities could become illiquid. In addition, the issuers in which the Fund invests may be adversely affected by illiquidity in the markets in which they trade. The disclosure has been modified to reflect that this risk factor is also relevant for the underlying issuers in which the Fund invests. 15.

Comment : The Staff notes that the Goldman Sachs Financial Square Prime Obligations and Goldman Sachs Financial Square Money Market Funds’ prospectus states that the Funds have the ability to charge liquidity fees or implement redemption gates in accordance with Rule 2a-7. However, these features have not been disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements. Supplementally, explain why these features have been omitted. In future reports, please include disclosure in the Financial Statements regarding liquidity fees and redemption gates and related accounting policies as applicable.

Although the Funds believe that the existing disclosure is appropriate in light of the fact that they have not previously implemented liquidity fees or redemption gates, each of these Funds will include the above referenced disclosure in future reports. 5.

Comment : With respect to the third and fourth paragraphs in the section of the Fund’s Prospectus titled “ PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES ”, please specify whether all issuers that meet the market capitalization requirement and liquidity requirement are included in the Underlying Index. Please specify whether an issuer could meet these criteria but still be excluded from the Underlying Index. If so, please discuss on what basis an issuer may be excluded from the Underlying Index.
The company responded
All issuers that meet the market capitalization and liquidity requirements, in addition to all of the other requirements for inclusion in the Underlying Index (e.g. country of listing, classification as a PropTech Company based on identified revenue exposure, etc.) are included in the Underlying Index. If more than 50 issuers meet all of the criteria for the Underlying Index, then the largest 50 issuers by market capitalization that meet all of the criteria will be included in the Underlying Index. 6 .

The Trust and its management have reviewed the referenced disclosure and believe it remains relevant; however, in response to the comment, the Trust has expanded the referenced disclosure to include the following disclosure: Policy changes by the U.S. government and/or the Fed and political events within the United States may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree. A downgrade of the ratings of U.S. government debt obligations, or concerns about the U.S. government’s credit quality in general, could have a substantial negative effect on the U.S. and global economies.
