Fees and expenses of the Trust may vary as a result of a variety of factors including the Trust's size, redemption activity, brokerage and other transaction costs and extraordinary expenses.
Investment Objective
The Coal Trust seeks to provide total return primarily through capital appreciation.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY
Under normal circumstances, the trust will invest at least 80% of the value of its assets in securities that derive a majority of their revenues from activities relating to the mining and distribution of coal.
The sponsor has selected Delta Global Advisors, Inc. (“Delta Global”) to serve as the trust’s portfolio consultant. The portfolio consultant is responsible for assisting the sponsor with the selection of the trust’s portfolio and providing ongoing support related to the securities in the portfolio.
See “Investment Policies” in Part B of the prospectus for more information.
SELECTION CRITERIA
The sponsor selects securities that derive a majority of their revenues from activities relating to the mining and distribution of coal. The trust includes the stocks of companies involved in the “upstream” and “midstream” segments of the coal market, encompassing such activities as mining, cleaning, storing and transporting various grades of coal. Also included are companies which add value to upand mid-stream producers through technological innovation, emission control and productivity improvement. Delta Global believes that such companies should be well positioned to appreciate in a rising coal price environment. It was the sponsor’s goal to exclude companies primarily involved in electricity generation from coal or the extraction of gas from coal.
The trust portfolio is globally diversified with stocks of the companies that Delta Global has identified as likely to benefit most in an environment in which coal demand and prices are both increasing. The selection process is fundamental in nature, with asset weightings based on reserve levels, resource qualities, market capitalizations and profit and operating margins. The weighting system is also based on past performance during resource bull markets, specifically those in coal.

RISKS AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
As with all investments, you can lose money by investing in this trust. The trust also might not perform as well as you expect. This can happen for reasons such as these:
- Securities prices can be volatile. The value of your investment may fall over time. Market value fluctuates in response to various factors. These can include stock market movements, purchases or sales of securities by the trust, government policies, litigation, and changes in interest rates, inflation, the financial condition of the securities’ issuer or even perceptions of the issuer. Units of the trust are not deposits of any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
- The sponsor does not actively manage the portfolio. The trust will generally hold, and may continue to buy, the same securities even though a security’s outlook, market value or yield may have changed.
- Share prices or dividend rates on the securities in the trust may decline during the life of the trust. There is no guarantee that the issuers of the securities will declare dividends in the future and, if declared, whether they will remain at current levels or increase over time.
- The trust invests in foreign securities. The trust’s investment in foreign securities presents additional risk. Foreign risk is the risk that foreign securities will be more volatile than U.S. securities due to such factors as adverse economic, currency, political, social or regulatory developments in a country, including government seizure of assets, excessive taxation, limitations on the use or transfer of assets, the lack of liquidity or regulatory controls with respect to certain industries or differing legal and/or accounting standards.
- The trust may invest in companies that are considered to be passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”). In general, PFICs are certain non-U.S. corporations that receive at least 75% of their annual gross income from passive sources (such as interest, dividends, certain rents and royalties or capital gains) or that hold at least 50% of their assets in investments producing such passive income. As a result of an investment in PFICs, the trust could be subject to U.S. federal income tax and additional interest charges on gains and certain distributions with respect to those equity interests, even if all the income or gain is distributed to its unitholders in a timely manner. The trust will not be able to pass through to its unitholders any credit or deduction for such taxes.
- The trust includes securities issued by companies headquartered or incorporated in countries considered to be emerging markets. Emerging markets are generally defined as countries with low per capita income in the initial stages of their industrialization cycles. Risks of investing in developing or emerging countries include the possibility of investment and trading limitations, liquidity concerns, delays and disruptions in settlement transactions, political uncertainties and dependence on international trade and development assistance. Companies headquartered in emerging market countries may be exposed to greater volatility and market risk.
- The trust includes securities whose value is dependent on currency exchange rates. The U.S. dollar value of these securities will vary with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Most foreign currencies have fluctuated widely in value against the U.S. dollar for various economic and political reasons such as the activity level of large international commercial banks, various central banks, speculators, hedge funds and other buyers and sellers of foreign currencies.
- The trust includes securities issued by companies in the energy sector. Companies in the energy sector are subject to volatile fluctuations in price and supply of energy fuels, and can be impacted by international politics and conflicts, including the war in Iraq and hostilities in the Middle East, terrorist attacks, the success of exploration projects, reduced demand as a result of increases in energy efficiency and energy conservation, natural disasters, clean-up and litigation costs associated with environmental damage and extensive regulation.
- The trust includes securities issued by companies involved in the metals and mining business. Risks of investing in metals and mining company stocks include inaccurate estimates of mineral reserves and future production levels, varying expectations of mine production costs, technological and operational hazards in mining and mine development activities and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control devices.
- The trust invests in companies in the coal industry. Companies in the coal industry are subject to risks related to exchange rates, government regulation, world events, depletion of resources and economic conditions, as well as market, economic and political risks of the countries where energy companies are located or do business.
- The trust invests in stocks issued by small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies. These stocks customarily involve more investment risk than stocks of larger capitalization companies. Small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be more vulnerable to adverse general market or economic developments.
- Inflation may lead to a decrease in the value of assets or income from investments.
