Correlation Heat Map

The matrix below depicts the correlation of the daily returns for each ETN, index or spot price, as applicable, over the past 12 months. Lighter colors represent higher correlations while darker colors represent lower
correlations.
A correlation coefficient is a measure of how the value of two assets have changed in relation to each other. A correlation coefficient of 1 implies that as the value of one asset changed (either positively or negatively), the
value of the other asset changed in the same direction. Alternatively, a correlation coefficient of -1 implies that the values of the assets moved in opposite directions. A correlation coefficient of 0 implies that changes in the value of the assets were
random (no correlation).

Past performance is not indicative of future results. The
ETN total return information set forth herein for each of the ETNs (other than the MLPN ETN) is based on the indicative value
of such ETN. The MLPN ETN total return is based on the indicative value of the MLPN ETN over the relevant period plus any coupon
payments paid to holders of the MLPN ETN during the relevant period. The actual trading prices of the ETNs may vary significantly
from their indicative values. Annualized volatility is calculated by annualizing the standard deviation of daily returns over
the last twelve months.
