Rebuilt every trading night.\n MUSE bid-ask spread and liquidity\n IQ Liquidity Score\n Not scored, 1 of 6 measured.\n A fixed 0 to 100 scale of trading conditions, the same anchors for every fund; 100 is the easiest to trade.

MUSE\u2019s latest Form N-CEN, for the period ending Oct 31, 2025, lists 10 authorized participants (APs), and 5 created or redeemed shares. The largest were Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (40.0%), J.P.
