DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JULY 2023 TO 31 DECEMBER 2023
The directors present the Directors’ Report and the audited financial statements of Graniteshares Financial Public
Limited (the "Company") for the financial period ended 31 December 2023.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The Company is a public limited company, incorporated in Ireland on 17 July 2017, in accordance with the laws of
Ireland with a registration number 608059.
The Company has been formed for the purpose of issuing collateralised exchange traded products (“ETP Securities” or
(“ETPs”)) and entering into a fully funded Swap agreements. Commercial activity commenced in September 2019 with
the ETP Securities initially listed on the London Stock Exchange for trading on the secondary market.
The Company established a Collateralised ETP Securities Programme under which the Company issues, on an ongoing
basis, collateralised exchange traded products of different classes (each a “Class”) linked into indices providing exposure
to a range of asset classes including equities, commodities, fixed income and currencies. The ETP Securities may have
long or short, leveraged or unleveraged, exposure to the daily performance of the referenced index.
Each Class constitutes limited recourse obligations of the Company, secured on and payable solely from the assets
constituting the ETP Securities in respect of such Class. Each Class of ETP Securities may comprise one or more
tranches.
The ETP Securities have been listed for trading on the London Stock Exchange, Borsa Italiana S.p.A. (the “Italian Stock
Exchange”), Euronext Paris and Deutsche Borse (the "Frankfurt Stock Exchange"). The Company uses the net proceeds
of the issuance of the ETP Securities to enter into Total Return Swap Transactions (“TRSs”) to hedge its payment
obligations in respect of each Class of the ETP with one or more Swap Providers once the Swap Provider has delivered
eligible collateral. The TRS for each Class of ETP Securities will produce cash flows to service all of the Company’s
payment obligations in respect of that Class.
As at financial period ended 31 December 2023, there were 109 ETPs in issuance (2022: 106 ETPs). The purchases
over the financial period amounted to €419,503,164 (2022: €317,268,102) with sales of €263,021,724 (2022:
€202,073,273).
Cash flows are a result of subscriptions and redemptions of ETP securities and expenses incurred. A movement on
collateral does not generate a cash flow. The proceeds of the issuance of a tranche of ETP Securities of a Class will be
paid by the Company to one or more of the Swap Providers with whom the Company has entered by the Company in
relation that Class in proportion to the increase in the number of ETP Securities of that Class then outstanding.
The Company’s payment obligations in respect of the ETP Securities of a Class will be covered entirely from payments
received by the Company from the Swap Providers in respect of such TRS. Pursuant to the terms of each credit support
document, the Company will be obliged to pay amounts equal to each distribution made on collateral held by it to the
relevant Swap Provider upon receipt.
The ETP Securities do not bear interest at a prescribed rate. The return (if any) on the ETP Securities shall be calculated
in accordance with the redemption provisions. The Classes of ETP Securities are disclosed in note 11.
There were no acquisitions of own shares by the Company during the financial period (2022:nil).
The Company does not have any branches.
The principal financial risks and uncertainties facing the Company during the financial period relate to the financial
instruments held by it and are set out in note 14 to the financial statements and the Company expects the nature of these
risks and uncertainties to remain the same for the foreseeable future.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The plan for the foreseeable future is to continue with the issuance of ETPs under the programme mentioned above
which may include listings on other stock exchanges.
RESULTS AND DIVIDENDS
The results for the financial period and the Company’s financial position at the end of the financial period are set out on
page 15 and 16, respectively. Profit on ordinary activities before taxation amounted to €1,000 (2022: €1,000). The
corporation tax charge for the financial period is €250 (2022: €250).
No dividends were recommended to be paid for the financial period ended 31 December 2023 (2022: €nil).

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The operations of the Company are subject to various risks. Information about the financial risk management objectives
and policies of the Company, along with exposure of the Company to market risk, currency risk, liquidity risk,
concentration risk and operational risk, are disclosed in note 14 to the financial statements.
The ETP Securities continued to perform in line with their relevant benchmarks each disclosed in the programme’s base
prospectus as well as each ETP Securities’ final terms (both set of documents available at www.graniteshares.com/
In the second half of 2023, main financial benchmarks were up for the period, the S&P 500 gaining 7.05% while the
technology-oriented NASDAQ 100 finished up 9.41%. After reaching a low point in October 2023, the market gained
momentum on the expectations that the US federal Reserve might reduce its interest rates in 2024.
The indices providing long exposure and used as benchmarks to price the ETP Securities reflected the overall trend with
the technology names performing well at the end of the period, while value-oriented names, in particular European
stocks, were less sensitive to the hypothetical change in interest rates policy.
GOING CONCERN
The directors have assessed the ability of the Company to continue in operational existence for twelve months from the
date of approval of the financial statements (‘the period of assessment’) and have concluded that it is appropriate to
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
In making this assessment the directors have considered the impact of Ukraine-Russia war on the Company’s business.
The nature of the Company’s business dictates that the outstanding ETPs may be redeemed at any time by any
authorised participant who has entered into an authorised participant agreement with the Company. As the redemption of
ETPs will coincide with the sale of an equal amount of the TRS’s, no liquidity risk is considered to arise. The Company
has entered into its primary service contracts with service providers on a non-recourse basis and these costs are being
met by GraniteShares Jersey Limited. Therefore, the directors are confident that the Company will have the ability to
continue to pay its operating costs and any redemptions that may arise within the period of assessment.
Based on the above, the directors have concluded that the Company has no material uncertainties which would cast a
significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the period of assessment.
DIRECTORS AND COMPANY SECRETARY
The Directors and the company secretary are listed oon page 1. Raja Gul and Aileen Mannion are the current active
directors. During the financial year Romira Hoxha resigned as a director. The directors and the company secretary had
no material interest in any contract of significance in relation to the business of the Company. The directors and
company secretary who held office on 31 December 2023 did not hold any shares, debentures or loan stock of the
Company on that date or during the financial period (2022: same).
POWERS OF DIRECTORS
The Board is responsible for  managing the business affairs othe Company in accordance with the Company’s
Constitution. The directors may delegate certain functions to TMF Administration Services Limited (the “Administrator”)
and other parties, subject to the supervision and direction of the directors.
GRANITESHARES FINANCIAL PUBLIC LIMITED
DIRECTORS' REPORT FOR THE PERIOD FROM 1 JULY 2023 TO 31 DECEMBER 2023 (CONTINUED)
DIRECTORS’ COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
The directors, in accordance with Section 225(2)(a) of the Companies Act 2014 (the “Act”), acknowledge that they are
responsible for securing the Company’s compliance with its relevant obligations. Relevant obligations, in the context of
the Company, are the Company’s obligations under:
(a) the Act, where a breach of the obligations would be a category 1 or category 2 offence;
(b) the Act, where a breach of the obligation would be a serious Market Abuse or Prospectus offence; and
(c) tax law.
Pursuant to Section 225(2)(b) of the Act, the directors confirm that:
(i) a compliance policy statement has been drawn up as required by Section 225(3)(a) of the Act setting out the
Company’s policies (that, in the directors’ opinion, are appropriate to the Company) respecting compliance by the
Company with its relevant obligations;
(ii) appropriate arrangements and structures have been put in place that, in their opinion, secure material compliance
with the Company’s relevant obligations; and
(iii) a review has been conducted, in the financial year, of the arrangements and structures referred to in paragraph (ii).
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
The directors have established processes regarding internal controls and risk management systems to ensure effective
oversight of the financial reporting process. These include appointing the Administrator to maintain the accounting
records of the Company. The Administrator is contractually obliged to maintain adequate accounting records and to that
end the Administrator performs reconciliations of its records to those of Graniteshares Jersey Limited (“the Arranger”).
The Administrator is also contractually obliged to prepare the annual report including financial statements for review and
approval by the directors. The directors evaluate and discuss significant accounting and reporting issues as the need
arises.
From time to time the directors also examine and evaluate the Administrator’s financial accounting and reporting routines
and monitor and evaluate the external auditors’ performance, qualifications and independence. The Administrator has
operating responsibility for internal control in relation to the financial reporting process and reports to the directors. The
directors are responsible for assessing the risk of irregularities whether caused by fraud or error in financial reporting and
ensuring the processes are in place for the timely identification of internal and external matters with a potential effect on
financial reporting. The directors have also put in place processes to identify changes in accounting rules and
recommendations and to ensure that these changes are accurately reflected in the Company’s financial statements.
The Administrator is contractually obliged to design and maintain control structures to manage the risks which the
directors judge to be significant for internal control over financial reporting. These control structures include appropriate
segregation of responsibilities and specific control activities aimed at detecting or preventing the risk of significant
deficiencies in financial reporting for every significant account in the financial statements and the related notes in the
Company’s financial statements. The directors delegate the asset valuation function to the Arranger who operates a
sophisticated system of controls to ensure appropriate valuation. All the values for the financial instruments held by the
Company have been provided by the Arranger and in our opinion, they are the most appropriate and reliable source of
such fair values in its capacity as Arranger. We are satisfied that the amounts as stated in the Company's financial
statements represent a reasonable approximation of those values.
The Company’s policies and the directors’ instructions with relevance for financial reporting are updated and
communicated via appropriate channels, such as e-mail, correspondence and meetings to ensure that all financial
reporting information requirements are met in a complete and accurate manner. The directors have an annual process to
ensure  that  appropriate  measures  are taken  to  consider and  address any  shortcomings  identified  and  measures
recommended by the independent auditors. Given the contractual obligations of the Administrator, the directors have
concluded that there is currently no need for the Company to have a separate audit committee or internal audit function
in order for the directors to perform effective monitoring and oversight of the internal controls and risk management
systems of the Company in relation to the financial reporting process. Therefore, the Company has taken the exemption
available for Section 110 companies as set out under Section 1551 of the Companies Act 2014 S 11 (c) not to have a a
separate audit committee.
No director has a significant direct or indirect holding of securities in the Company. No person has any special rights of
control over the Company’s share capital. There are no restrictions on voting rights.
The directors are responsible for managing the business affairs of the Company in accordance with the Company
Constitution. The directors may delegate certain functions to the Administrator and other parties, subject to the
supervision and direction by the directors. The Board consists of three directors.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FINANCIAL PERIOD FROM 1 JULY 2023 TO 31 DECEMBER 2023
1 GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company was incorporated on 17 July 2017 in accordance with the laws applicable in Ireland under registration
number 608059. The Company is a public limited company and qualifies for the regime contained in Section 110 of the
Irish Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997 (the “TCA,  1997”). This provides that a qualifying company will be liable to
corporation tax at the rate of 25% under Case III of Schedule D of the TCA in respect of taxable profits. The Company’s
registered office is at 3rd Floor, Kilmore House, Park Lane, Spencer Dock, Dublin 1, D01 YE64, Ireland.
The Company has been formed for the purpose of issuing collateralised ETP Securities and entering into a fully funded
Swap agreement. Commercial activity commenced in September 2019 with the ETP Securities initially listed on the
London Stock Exchange for trading on the secondary market.
The Company established a Collateralised ETP Securities Programme under which the Company issues, on an ongoing
basis, collateralised exchange traded products of different classes (each a “Class”) linked into indices providing exposure
to a range of asset classes including equities, commodities, fixed income and currencies. The ETP Securities may have
long or short, leveraged or unleveraged, exposure to the daily performance of the referenced index.
The ETP Securities have been listed for trading on the London Stock Exchange, Borsa Italiana S.p.A. (the “Italian Stock
Exchange”), Euronext  Paris and Deutsche Boerse (the "Frankfurt Stock Exchange"). The Company uses the net
proceeds of the issuance of the ETP Securities to enter into Total Return Swap Transactions (“TRS”) to hedge its
payment obligations in respect of each Class of the ETPs with one or more Swap Providers once the Swap Provider has
delivered eligible collateral. The TRS for each Class of ETP Securities will produce cash flows to service all of the
Company’s payment obligations in respect of that Class.
The Company’s principal activity is the listing and issue of ETPs. The securities are issued as demand requires. The
Company purchases a matching TRS from swap providers to hedge its liabilities and ensure the assets can service its
liabilities. The number and terms of ETPs outstanding will match the number and terms of ETP Swap Contracts so that
the obligations of the Company and the Swap Provider Match. The price of an ETP Swap Contract will equal the price of
an ETP. GraniteShares Jersey Limited (the “Arranger”) supplied and/or arranged for the supply of all administrative
services to the Company and paid all management and administration costs of the Company, in return for which the
Company pays the Arranger an arranger fee.
The Company considers the capital management and its current capital resources to be adequate to maintain the
ongoing listing and issue of the ETPs.

Note 2: In December 2015, the IASB postponed the effetive date of this amendment indefinitely pending the outcome of
its research project on the equity method of accounting.
2.4    Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation othe audited financial statements requires the  directors to  make judgments,  estimates and
assumptions that may affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income
and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions will be reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates will be
recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
The principal application of judgement and sources of estimation of uncertainty arise with respect to determining the
business model (see note 2(f)), determining the functional currency (see note 2(e)) and financial instruments at fair
value. See note 14 for further discussion on how the fair values of the assets and liabilities are determined.
2.5    Functional and presentation currency
These audited financial statements are presented in Euro (“EUR” or “€”) which is the Company’s presentation currency.
The Directors of the Company believe that Euro is the appropriate presentation currency as it reports to the Central Bank
of Ireland in Euro.
Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The ETP
Securities issued by the Company and swap transactions entered into by the Company are denominated in Euro (“EUR”
or “€”), Pound Sterling (“GBP” or “£”) and US Dollars (US or “$). The Directors of the Company believe that Euro most
faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and conditions.

2.6    Financial instruments
Classification
The Company has adopted the following classifications for financial instruments:
Financial assets:
•        At fair value through profit or loss: TRS.
•        Amortised cost: Cash and cash equivalents and other receivables.
Financial liabilities:
•        At fair value through profit or loss: ETP Securities.
•        Amortised cost: other payables.
The classification is determined by both:
•        The Company’s business model for managing the financial asset and financial liability.
•        The contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets and financial liability.
Recognition
Purchases and sales of financial instruments are recognised using trade date accounting, the day that the Company
commits to purchase or sell the asset. From this date any gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of the
financial assets or financial liabilities are recorded through the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Measurement
Financial instruments that are held within a different business model other than ‘hold to collect’ or ‘hold to collect and sell’
are categorised at fair value through profit or loss. Financial instruments are measured initially at fair value (transaction
price) plus, in case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that
are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability. Subsequent to initial
recognition, all instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss, are measured at fair value with changes in
their fair value recognised in profit or loss in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.Transaction costs on financial
assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are expensed immediately.
Fair value estimation
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date.
The price per ETP Securities is calculated daily to reflect the daily change in the relevant index of the ETP Securities,
and will take into account all applicable fees and adjustments. On the issue date of the class, the price per ETP
Securities will be equal to its issue price. On any valuation date thereafter, the price per ETP is calculated according to a
formula which reflects the price per ETP on the immediately preceding valuation date.
The TRSs are valued at fair value utilising predefined formula and market prices consistent with the ETP valuation
process. In the absence of readily available market prices, the Swap Provider will provide the inputs for the valuation.
Where possible, the Company independently calculates the fair value and verifies the Swap Providers valuation with any
variation investigated. The valuation determined by the Swap counterparty may be based on assumptions of market
conditions at the time of valuation, similar arm’s length market transactions if available, reference to the current fair value
of similar instruments and a variety of different valuation techniques such as the discounted cash flow techniques, option
pricing models or any other valuation technique that provides a reliable estimate of prices obtained in actual market
transactions. All TRSs are carried as assets when fair value is positive and as liabilities when fair value is negative.

2.6    Financial instruments (continued)
Transfer between levels of the fair value hierarchy
There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy in the financial year.
Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of Financial Position where the
Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net
basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Derecognition
The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset
expire, or when it transfers the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks
and rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.
Any interest in transferred financial assets that qualify for derecognition that is created or retained by the Company is
recognised as a separate asset or liability in the Statement of Financial Position.
On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount of the asset (or the carrying amount allocated
to the portion of the asset derecognised), and the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new
liability assumed) is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
The Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expired.
Net gain/(loss) on financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss
Realised gain/(loss) on financial assets are recorded as part of net gain/(loss) on financial assets (or liabilities) at fair value
through profit or loss within the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Unrealised gain/(loss) relates to gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of financial instruments during the financial
year. Unrealised gain/(loss) on financial instruments are recognised within net gain/(loss) on financial assets (or liabilities) at
fair value through profit or loss within the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Expected credit losses
Under IFRS 9, the classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is
managed and it’s contractual cashflow characteristics. The impairment model applies to financial assets measured at
amortised cost and debt investments at FVOCI, but not to investments in equity instruments.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at
FVTPL:
•        it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
It’s contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on
the principal amount outstanding.
These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced
by impairment losses. The financial assets at amortised cost consist of cash and cash equivalents and other receivables.
Loss allowances are measured on either of the following bases:
12-month ECLs: these are ECLs that result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date;
and
lifetime ECLs: these are ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial
instrument.
The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, except for the following, which are measured
as 12-month ECLs:
GRANITESHARES FINANCIAL PUBLIC LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FINANCIAL PERIOD FROM 1 JULY 2023 TO 31 DECEMBER 2023 (CONTINUED)
Accounting policies (continued)
2.6    Financial instruments (continued)
•        debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and
other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of
the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when
estimating ECLs, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue
cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company’s historical
experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is
exposed to credit risk.
See note 14.2 further discussion on credit risk.
2.7    Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash held with banks which is subject to insignificant risk in terms of changes of fair value
with original maturities of three months or less, and are used by the Company in the management of its short-term
commitments.
2.8    Other receivables and payables
Other receivables and payables with no stated interest rate and receivable within one year are recorded at transaction price.
2.9    Ordinary share capital presented as equity
Ordinary shares are not redeemable and do not participate in the net income of the Company are classified as equity as per
the Company’s Constitution.
2.1 Taxation
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax.  Income tax expense is recognised in the Statement of
Comprehensive Income except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised
in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the financial period using the tax rates applicable to the
Company’s activities enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and adjustments to tax payable in respect of
previous financial years, if any.
Deferred taxation is accounted for, without discounting, in respect of all temporary differences between the treatment of certain
items for taxation and accounting purposes which have arisen but have not been reversed by the financial year end date
except as otherwise required by IAS 12 ‘Deferred Tax’. Provision is made at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the
financial year in which the temporary differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is
considered more likely than not that they will be recovered. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is
probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at
each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
2.1 Other income
The Company is entitled to receive a management fee which is calculated and paid by the Swap Provider by reference to a
management fee rate under the specified terms of each relevant TRS by charging the applicable fee rate on the daily market
value of each security.
The Company receives income from the Arranger to cover any expenses that are incurred. This is classified as ‘other income’
in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

2.1 Administration expenses
The Company pays an arranger fee to the Arranger which is calculated based on the amount of fees received from the Swap
Provider. The arranger fees are accrued on a daily basis and are recorded in the Statement of Comprehensive income.
Creation and Redemption fees are charged to the Company by the Paying Agent. The Company then charges these to the
Authorised Participants. They are charged on a per transaction basis.
Administration expenses include amounts accrued for expenses such as administration and management incurred during the
financial period.
2.1 Foreign currency transaction
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of the Company at exchange rates at the dates of the
transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the
functional currencat the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets  and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was
determined. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FINANCIAL PERIOD FROM 1 JULY 2023 TO 31 DECEMBER 2023 (CONTINUED)
14 Financial Risk Management (continued)
14. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and securities prices, will affect the
Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to
manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return on risk. Market risk
embodies the potential for both losses and gains and includes currency risk and market price risk. The impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of Russia-Ukraine war on the Company is covered by the existing risk management
framework.
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that the fair value or cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in foreign currency.
The ETP Securities issued by the Company are denominated in Euro, Pound Sterling and US Dollars. The proceeds of
these issuances are used to fund the purchase of the TRSs in Pound Sterling and US Dollars. These are retranslated to
EUR using the applicable exchange rates. As the base currency of the TRSs matches the base currency of the ETP
Securities there is deemed to be no currency risk to the Company.
The closing exchange rates used are as follows:
31/12/2023                                    30/06/2022
USD                                    EUR/USD 1.105                            EUR/USD 1.0866

Price risk
Price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market prices (other than those arising from currency risk), whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the
individual financial instrument or its seller, or factors affecting similar financial instruments traded in the market. The
Arranger monitors the cash flows of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss on a daily basis.

(continued)
The Company uses the hierarchy below for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation
technique:
The level in the fair value hierarchy in which each fair value measurement is categorised includes:
•        Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or liabilities;
•        Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
(i.e. prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
•        Level 3: inputs for the asset or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The ETP Securities and TRSs have the same value and are considered to be fair valued under level 2 as the prices are
compiled according to a formula which utilises a daily index for each ETP, based on market data as given by a third party
provider, net of expenses incurred.
The Company’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the last day of the
accounting year. There were no transfers during the financial year between levels of the fair value hierarchy for financial assets
and liabilities which are recorded at fair value, (2023: same).
Sensitivity analysis:
Any changes in the values of the TRSs held by the Company would not have any effect on the equity or profit or loss of
the Company as any fair value fluctuations are ultimately borne by the holders of the ETP Securities issued by the
Company. A 10% change in the value of the portfolio of TRSs held will result in a change in value of EUR 16,698,150 (2023:
EUR 11,994,098). This will be offset by an equal change in the value of ETP securities issued, resulting in a net zero impact to
the equity or profit of the Company. Therefore, the Company is fully economically hedged against changes in prices of
underlying securities.

14. Market risk (continued)
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.
As the Company has invested in TRSs to match the ETP Securities, there is deemed to be no interest rate risk to the
Company.
The Company has a bank balance at The Bank of New York. Due to the level of cash held in the bank account, the
directors do not believe that any movement in interest rates would affect the operations of the Company.
14. Credit risk
Credit risk arises from the possibility of obligors failing to meet their obligations to the Company and represents the most
significant category of risk.
The maximum exposure to the credit risk of the ETP holders at the reporting date was:

The Swap counterparty is Natixis S.A.. which has A (2023: A) credit rating from Standard & Poor’s.
The Company has 3 bank accounts with The Bank of New York with a balance of EUR 347,133 (2022: EUR 199,105),
balance of GBP 229,849 (2022:GBP 228,760) and balance USD 1,001,363 (2022:USD 921,937). The Bank of New York
has a AA- (2022: AA-) credit rating from Standard & Poor’s.
Other receivables were settled after the financial year end (2023: same).
14. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company may be unable to fulfil its obligations, whether expected or unexpected. ETP
Securities cannot be issued without a matching investment in a TRS being put in place. ETP Securities can be issued
and redeemed daily, therefore this is the earliest maturity date for the purposes of the maturity analysis below.
The return on each issuance of ETP Securities will be linked to the daily performance of the corresponding TRS. The
redemption amount of the ETP Securities will be derived from the liquidation of the corresponding TRS.

14. Operational risk exposure
Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss arising from a wide variety of causes associated with the Company’s
processes, personnel and infrastructure, and from external factors other than credit, markets and liquidity issues such as
those arising from legal and regulatory requirements and generally accepted standards of corporate behaviour.
The Board has established processes to manage operational risks. Those processes include appropriate segregation of
responsibilities and specific control activities. The Board delegates management and administration function to the
Administrator.

16 Related party transactions
GraniteShares Jersey Limited is a related party as they act as the Arranger for the Company. It supplies and/or arranges
for the supply of all administrative services to the Company. In return, the Company pays the Arranger an arranger fee.
Total arranger fee for the period amounted to EUR 766,871 (2022: EUR 1,545,357).
The Board is considered the key management personnel of the Company for the financial period ended 31 December
2023. The Board is considered to have authority and responsibility for planning and directing activities of the Company
being the purchase and sale of the underlying portfolio. Raja Gul and Aileen Mannion, employees of TMF Management
Ireland Limited were directors of the Company during the financial period.
The Company engages the Corporate Administrator for all management and administration functions to manage the
operational risk of direct or indirect loss arising from a wide variety of causes associated with the Company’s processes,
and from external factors other than credit, market and liquidity risks such as those arising from legal and regulatory
requirements and generally accepted standards of corporate behaviour. The Corporate Administrator is entitled to
receive administrative fees for the services it provides per the terms and conditions of their agreement. TMF
Administration Services Limited provides corporate administration services to the Company at arm’s length commercial
rates.
During the financial period, the Company incurred a fee of EUR Nil (2022: EUR 13,311) relating to administration
services provided by the Corporate Administrator. The directors, as employees of the Corporate Administrator, had an
interest in these fees in their capacity as directors.
The terms of the corporate services agreement in place between the Company and the Corporate Administrator provides
for a single fee for the provision of corporate administration services (including the making available of individuals to act
as directors of the Company). As a result, the allocation of fees between the different services provided is a subjective
and approximate calculation.
Pursuant to Section 305A(1)(a) of the Companies Act 2014 TMF Administration Services Limited allocated EUR 1000
(2022: EUR 1,000) of the corporate service fee received as consideration for the making available of individuals to act as
directors of the Company.
The individuals acting as directors do not (and will not), in their personal capacity or any other capacity, receive any fee
for acting or having acted as directors of the Company.
There were no other contracts of any significance in relation to the business of the Company in which the director had
any interest, as defined in the Companies Act 2014, at any time during the financial period.
The Company has issued nil shares (2022: Nil) to TMF Management (Ireland) Limited on trust for GraniteShares
Financial plc.
Unless otherwise stated, none of the transactions incorporate special terms and conditions and no guarantees were
given or received. Outstanding balances are usually settled in cash.
17 Significant subsequent events
On 1 January 2024, the company changed address to Ground Floor, Two Docklands Central, Guild Street, North Dock,
D01 K2C5, Ireland.
The current political and financial uncertainty surrounding Russia and Ukraine may increase market volatility and the
economic risk of trading in these countries and other impacted countries within the region. Management is closely
monitoring the evolving situation. Management has not yet observed or determined the financial impact of these events.
There were no other significant subsequent events which need to be adjusted or disclosed in the audited financial
statements.
