Cotwo Advisors Physical European Carbon Allowance Trust

COtwo Advisors Physical European Carbon Allowance Trust is a Delaware statutory trust that gives investors exposure to the spot price of EU Carbon Emission Allowances (EUAs) used in the European Union Emissions Trading System. The Trust does not operate an active business; instead, it holds EUAs and cash and issues shares that are designed to track EUA prices less operating expenses. Shares trade on NYSE Arca under the ticker CTWO, and the Trust creates and redeems baskets through authorized participants rather than redeeming individual shares. Its structure makes it a passive, physically backed carbon-allowance vehicle rather than a traditional operating company or fund with discretionary portfolio management.
