Methodology: Range is calculated using 30-day realized volatility via geometric Brownian motion (log-normal model). 68% band = ±1σ, 95% band = ±2σ. This is a statistical model, not a prediction. Past volatility does not guarantee future results. Not financial advice.
Investor takeaway: Recent changes to the Trust Agreement and the approval for mutual fund restructuring may offer long-term benefits, but short-term price volatility could persist. Investors should carefully evaluate their positions in light of recent performance trends.
