 Exhibit 4.2 

METAURUS EQUITY COMPONENT TRUST 

AUTHORIZED PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT 
 This
Authorized Participant Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of this     day of             20     (the “Effective
Date”), by and between                     (the “Participant”), Metaurus Advisors LLC (the “Sponsor”) and
SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”), and is subject to acceptance by (the “Transfer Agent”), solely in its capacity as transfer agent of the Trust. 

SUMMARY 
 The Sponsor serves in its capacity as
Sponsor of the Metaurus Equity Component Trust (the “Trust”) pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated as of [                    ],
as amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust offers shares of one or more individual investment portfolios that relate solely to the assets specifically allocated to such portfolios (each, a
“Series”). Each Series is listed for trading on one or more U.S. national securities exchanges or associations and operates as an “Exchange Traded Product.” Common stock of any Series (“Shares”)
offered by the Trust (now or in the future) may be directly purchased from or redeemed to the Trust at a price based on the net asset value per Share (subject to applicable “Law” and the terms hereof) pursuant to the registration statement
of each Series on Form S-1, as declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and as amended and supplemented from time to time, or any successor registration
statement for the Series (the “Registration Statement”) and only by or through an entity that: (i) is a registered broker-dealer; (ii) is a member of The Depository Trust Company; (iii) is a futures commission
merchant (“FCM”) registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) or clears through an entity that is an FCM registered with the CFTC; and (iv) has entered into an authorized participant
agreement. 
 Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meaning assigned to them in SECTION 12 of this Agreement. 

To give effect to the foregoing premises and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 SECTION 1 ORDERS FOR PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION 

1.01 Creation Units. The Shares of any Series offered by the Trust may only be purchased or redeemed by a Participant, in Creation Unit size,
from the applicable Series through the Distributor. A Creation Unit is a large aggregation of Shares of a Series, the specific number of which will be stated in the “Prospectus” of the applicable Series, as may be amended from time
to time. The Participant is authorized to purchase and redeem Creation Units of such Series as determined in the discretion of the Sponsor, subject to applicable law and the terms hereof and of the Prospectus. The Participant acknowledges and agrees
that (i) the Sponsor from time to time may change or adjust the number of Series available to the Participant in the Sponsor’s discretion; provided, however, that the Sponsor will make reasonable efforts to provide notice to
the Participant and Distributor prior to any such adjustment to the Series available to the Participant; (ii) the Series that the Participant is authorized to purchase or redeem Creation Units of may be different than the Series available to
other participants executing an authorized participant agreement similar to this Agreement; and (iii) the Sponsor may suspend purchases and/or redemptions of Shares at any time in its discretion; provided that any such suspension is effected in
accordance with applicable Laws. The Participant may obtain a list of authorized Series from the Distributor upon request. The Sponsor will not unreasonably reduce the number of Series available to the Participant. 

1.02 Procedures for Orders. The procedures for placing and executing orders to purchase Creation Units (“Purchase Orders”) and
orders to redeem Creation Units (“Redemption Requests”) are described in the Prospectus for each Series and in the AP Handbook and must be placed and executed in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in the Prospectus
and the AP Handbook. Purchase Orders and Redemption Requests received by the Distributor and determined by the Distributor and the applicable 

 
Series to be in proper form in accordance with such terms and procedures shall be processed at the net asset value per Share of the relevant Series next determined after such Purchase Order or
Redemption Request is received by the Distributor and determined by the Distributor and the applicable Series to be in proper form. The Participant agrees to comply with any and all requirements stated in the Prospectus and in the AP Handbook to the
extent applicable to it. The Sponsor and Distributor reserve the right to revise or augment the procedures relating to the manner of purchasing or redeeming Creation Units. The Distributor will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide prior
notice to the Participant of any material changes to the AP Handbook. The Participant agrees to comply with such procedures as they may be revised or augmented from time to time. Such revised or additional procedures may be implemented by the
Distributor with respect to any or all Series, due to changing Law, market conditions, administrative or operational processes or requirements for new or existing Series, or any other purposes. 

Any Series may, subject to applicable Law, change the manner in which a Purchase Order and/or Redemption Request may be placed and/or executed by the
Participant, including, without limitation, requiring that a Purchase Order or Redemption Request be cleared outside the CNS Clearing Process or any non-CNS Clearing Process. As provided in the AP Handbook,
Purchase Orders and Redemption Requests will typically be executed through two parallel but connected processes whereby the futures and treasury securities constituting the Deposit Instruments or Redemption Instruments, as applicable, are
transferred to the Series or the Participant, as applicable, through an EFRP, which will be reported to the CME by the Distributor and the Shares will be delivered to the Participant or the Series, as applicable, through NSCC. In the case of a
Purchase Order, the applicable Series will not release a Creation Unit for settlement through NSCC until it has received the applicable Deposit Instruments related to such Creation Unit through an EFRP and, if applicable, cash in lieu for some or
all of such Deposit Instruments [through the custodian for the Series], and in the case of a Redemption Request, the applicable Series will not release the Redemption Instruments through an EFRP or, if applicable, provide cash-in lieu for some or all of such Redemption Instruments [through its custodian] until it has received the Shares from the Participant through NSCC. 

1.03 NSCC Authorization. All Purchase Orders and all Redemption Orders will be processed outside of the CNS Clearing Process. In that regard,
the Participant, as a Participating Party, hereby authorizes the Transfer Agent to transmit to the NSCC on behalf of the Participant instructions, including without limitation instructions regarding the transfer of Shares, Cash Amounts and Cash
Components, consistent with the Purchase Order and Redemption Request submitted in proper form by the Participant to the Distributor. The Participant agrees to be bound by the terms of such instructions issued by the Transfer Agent and reported to
NSCC as though such instructions were issued by the Participant directly to NSCC. 
 1.04 Consent to Recording and Order Taking Website
Documentation. It is contemplated that the phone lines used by the Distributor or other service providers to the Trust with respect to any Purchase Orders or Redemption Requests may be recorded, and the Parties hereby consent to the recording of
all calls with any of those persons or entities. The Participant also acknowledges and agrees that its access to, and actions taken on, the Order Taking Website may be documented and the Participant shall be provided with such documentation upon
request in the event of a dispute. The Distributor, Trust , Sponsor, or their Affiliated Persons, as applicable, shall promptly provide copies of recordings of any such calls or Website documentation, unless such recordings or documentation have
been erased or destroyed prior to receipt of such request in the normal course of business in accordance with the recording party’s general record keeping policies and procedures. The parties each agree that the Distributor, the Sponsor and the
Trust may use such recordings and documentation in connection with any dispute or proceeding relating to this Agreement. 
 1.05
Irrevocability. All Purchase Orders and Redemption Requests are irrevocable and considered final when placed by a Participant with the Distributor. The Participant shall be responsible for all liabilities, Losses, reasonable expenses and
costs incurred by the Trust or the Distributor in connection with any modified or cancelled Purchase Order or Redemption Request. It is acknowledged and agreed that the Sponsor has the absolute right to reject any Purchase Order or Redemption
Request (to the extent permitted by Law and the Prospectus) transmitted to it by the Distributor, including in the event that such Purchase Order or Redemption Request is deemed not to be in proper form. The Distributor shall notify the Participant
as soon as reasonably practicable (which may be after the close of trading for a Business Day) of any such rejection of a Purchase Order or Redemption Request.

 1.06 Prospectus and Trade Confirmation Delivery. The Participant consents to electronic delivery of
trade confirmations and the Prospectus and other fund documents including, but not limited to supplements to the Prospectus, shareholder reports and Rule 19a notices, and understands that unless the Participant notifies the Distributor in writing
that this consent is revoked, the Participant can only obtain access to Prospectuses from the Distributor electronically. The Trust makes the current Prospectuses and other fund documents including annual, semi-annual and/or monthly shareholder
reports for each applicable Series available on the Trust’s website: www.                    .com. The Participant agrees to maintain a valid
electronic mail address for purposes of receiving Prospectuses, other fund documents and trade confirmations and further agrees to promptly notify the Distributor if its electronic mail address for this purpose changes. The Participant understands
that it must have regular and continuous Internet access to access all documents relating to a Prospectus. 
 SECTION 2 EXECUTION OF PURCHASE ORDERS

 2.01 In-Kind Purchase. To effect an in-kind purchase of
a Creation Unit of a Series, the Participant agrees to enter into an EFRP with such Series, pursuant to which it shall arrange to deliver the Deposit Instruments to the Custodian on behalf of the Series, and simultaneously to deliver to the Series,
through the Custodian the applicable Cash Amount. 
 2.02 Cash in Lieu. The Sponsor may, in its sole discretion and to the extent permitted by
Law, permit or require the substitution of an amount of cash to be added to any Cash Component to replace any Deposit Instrument (“cash in lieu”). The Sponsor may suspend the ability of the Participant to engage in cash in lieu
transactions with respect to any Series at any time, without prior notice. 
 2.03 Delivery of Collateral or Fund Deposit. As described in the
Prospectus and the AP Handbook from time to time, the Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, permit collateral to be posted to the Custodian (or such other agent as may be agreed in writing by the Participant and the Trust from time to time) for the
benefit of a Series in anticipation of delivery of all or a portion of the requisite Deposit Instruments, and may require additional collateral to be posted if, in the sole discretion of the Sponsor, the existing collateral is insufficient to
protect the Series from market or other risks relating to the undelivered security. The Series may at any time use such cash or collateral to purchase Deposit Instruments without further consultation with the Participant. To the extent permitted by
the Prospectus, the Participant shall be responsible for any and all expenses and costs incurred by the Trust, including all Cash Amounts, in connection with any Purchase Orders. The Participant understands and agrees that in the event collateral or
the Fund Deposit are not fully transferred to the Trust by the time specified, a Purchase Order may be cancelled by the Sponsor and the Participant will be solely responsible for any and all expenses and costs incurred by the applicable Series, the
Transfer Agent or the Distributor related to the cancelled Purchase Order. 
 2.04 Title to Financial Instruments; Restricted Shares. The
Participant represents that upon delivery of a portfolio of Deposit Instruments to the Custodian and/or the relevant subcustodian on behalf of the applicable Series, effected by the Participant in connection with a Purchase Order, the Trust will
acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title to such financial instruments, free and clear of any and all liens, restrictions, hypothecations, charges, duties imposed on the transfer of assets and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse
claims (“Liens”). The Participant also represents that upon delivery of Shares comprising a Creation Unit to the applicable Series through NSCC, effected by the Participant in connection with a Redemption Request, the Trust will
acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title to such Shares, free and clear of any and all Liens. 
 2.05 Corporate Actions. With respect
to any Purchase Order, the Trust, on behalf of each applicable Series, shall return to the Participant or the Participant Client any dividend, distribution or other corporate action paid to the Trust in respect of any Deposit Security that is
transferred to the Trust that, based on the valuation of such Deposit Security on the Business Day on which the Trust receives and accepts the 

  
 - 3 - 

 
Purchase Order in proper form, should have been paid to the Participant or the Participant Client. Likewise, the Participant acknowledges and agrees to return to the Trust any dividend,
distribution or other corporate action paid to the Participant or any Participant Client in respect of any Deposit Security that is transferred to the Participant that, based on the valuation of such Deposit Security on the Business Day on which the
Trust receives and accepts the Purchase Order in proper form, should have been paid to the Trust. 
 2.06 Cash Amount and Cash Component. The
Participant hereby agrees it will transfer same day funds comprising the Cash Amount, the Cash Component, and/or the Fund Cash Deposit, as applicable in connection with a Purchase Order. The Participant hereby agrees to deliver the Cash Amount, the
Cash Component, and/or the Fund Cash Deposit [to an account designated by the Sponsor at the Custodian for the applicable Series] on or before the Contractual Settlement Date or such earlier time as may be designated by the Sponsor. 

SECTION 3 EXECUTION OF REDEMPTION REQUESTS 
 3.01
Creation Units. To effect the redemption of a Creation Unit of a Series, the Participant agrees to deliver to the Trust, the requisite number of Shares comprising the number of Creation Units being redeemed plus any applicable Cash Amount
and/or Cash Component. Proceeds of redemption of a Creation Unit shall consist of Fund Instruments and/or any applicable Cash Component, less any applicable Cash Amount. As described in the Prospectus and the AP Handbook, from time to time, the
Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, permit the Participant to redeem a Creation Unit when the Participant is unable to deliver all or part of the Shares comprising a Creation Unit by posting collateral to the Custodian (or such other agent as may
be agreed in writing by the Participant and the Trust from time to time) for the benefit of a Series in anticipation of delivery of all or a portion of the Creation Unit. The Participant or its Participant Client must own or have arranged to borrow
all Shares comprising the Creation Unit being redeemed on or before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date that the Redemption Request is accepted by the Distributor or Sponsor. The Sponsor shall require the Participant to post cash collateral equal to
at least 115% of the value of the missing Shares (to be marked to market daily) and may require an amount in excess of such amount. To the extent permitted by the Prospectus, the Participant shall be responsible for any and all expenses and costs
incurred by the Trust, including all Cash Amounts, in connection with any Redemption Request. 
 3.02 Delivery of Collateral or Shares. The
Participant understands and agrees that in the event collateral or Shares are not transferred to the Trust (or the Custodian for the benefit of the Trust) by the time specified on or prior to the Contractual Settlement Date, a Redemption Request may
be cancelled by the Sponsor and the Participant will be solely responsible for all expenses and costs incurred by the Trust, the Sponsor, the Transfer Agent or the Distributor related to the cancelled Redemption Request. The Distributor will provide
notice to the Participant, as soon as reasonably practicable, of any such cancellation of a Redemption Request. 
 3.03 Legal and Beneficial
Ownership. The Participant represents and warrants that it will not attempt to place a Redemption Request for the purpose of redeeming Shares of any Series unless it has first ascertained that it or the Participant Client, as the case may be,
owns (within the meaning of Rule 200 of Regulation SHO) or has arranged to borrow for delivery to the Trust on or prior to the Contractual Settlement Date of the Redemption Request the number of Shares of the relevant Series to be redeemed as a
Creation Unit. In either case, the Participant acknowledges that: (i) it has or if, applicable, its Participant Client has full legal authority and legal right to tender for redemption the requisite number of Shares of the applicable
Series and to receive the entire proceeds of the redemption and (ii) if such Shares submitted for redemption have been loaned or pledged to another party or are the subject of a repurchase agreement, securities lending agreement or any other
arrangement affecting legal or beneficial ownership of such Shares being tendered, there are no restrictions precluding the tender and delivery of such Shares (including borrowed Shares, if any) for redemption, free and clear of liens, on the
Contractual Settlement Date. In the event that the Distributor and/or the Sponsor have reason to believe that the Participant or the Participant Client does not own or have available for delivery the requisite number of Shares of the relevant
Series to be redeemed as a Creation Unit to deliver by the Contractual 

  
 - 4 - 

 
Settlement Date, the Distributor and/or the Sponsor may require the Participant to deliver or execute supporting documentation evidencing ownership or its right to deliver sufficient Shares of
the relevant Series in order for the Redemption Request to be in proper form and, if such documentation is not satisfactory to the Distributor and/or the Sponsor, in their reasonable discretion, the Distributor and/or the Sponsor may reject the
Redemption Request. Failure to deliver or execute the requested supporting documentation may result in the Participant’s Redemption Request being rejected as not in proper form. 

3.04 Same Business Day Purchase and Redemption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as otherwise specifically
advised by the Participant in writing to the Distributor and the Sponsor, the Participant represents and warrants on behalf of itself and any Participant Client that in the case of any Redemption Request that is placed on the same Business Day as
any Purchase Order is placed by the Participant for the same Series: (i) the Redeeming Shareholder is not the same Participant or Participant Client as the Purchasing Shareholder; (ii) the Redeeming Shareholder is not affiliated in
any manner to or with the Purchasing Shareholder; (iii) the Redeeming Shareholder and the Purchasing Shareholder are acting for their own respective beneficial interests; (iv) the placing of such Redemption Request and such Purchase Order
is not for the beneficial interest of the same person; and (v) the placing of such Redemption Request and such Purchase Order is not pursuant to any common plan, mutual agreement, or understanding. 

3.05 Cash Amount and Cash Component. The Participant hereby agrees it will transfer same day funds comprising the Cash Amount and/or the Cash
Component, as applicable in connection with a Redemption Request. The Participant hereby agrees to deliver the Cash Amount and/or the Cash Component [to an account designated by the Sponsor at the Custodian for the applicable Series] on or before
the Contractual Settlement Date or such earlier time as may be designated by the Sponsor. 
 SECTION 4 FEES 

The Participant shall pay transaction fees as part of the Cash Amount as described in the Prospectus, which are subject to adjustment as described in the
Prospectus. 
 SECTION 5 AUTHORIZED PERSONS 

5.01 Phone Orders and Website Orders. When placing Purchase Orders or Redemption Requests by phone, an Authorized Person, on behalf of the
Participant, will be required to provide his or her personal ID and submit a valid PIN Number (with such personal ID and PIN Number to be issued by the Distributor). When placing Purchase Orders or Redemption Requests through the Website or via
other electronic means, an Authorized Person on behalf of the Participant, will be required to enter a valid firm PIN Number, a valid personal ID and password (with such password provided by the Distributor) for Website access and trade order
processing. The Participant will only have access to certain section(s) of the Website, as determined by the Sponsor or the Distributor, in their sole discretion. 

5.02 PIN Numbers and Password. Upon the execution of this Agreement by the Participant and the acceptance thereof by the Distributor, the
Participant shall be issued a PIN Number by the Distributor and each Authorized Person will be issued a personal ID and password for use on the Website. To place Purchase Orders or Redemption Requests through the Distributor, the Authorized Person
must provide the Participant’s valid PIN Number and must also enter a valid personal ID and password to access the Website. The PIN Number is used by the Distributor and the Sponsor to identify the Participant and validate instructions issued
by the Participant pursuant to this Agreement. The Participant agrees that the Distributor, Sponsor and Trust shall not be responsible for any losses incurred by the Participant or any other person as a result of an Authorized Person identifying
himself or herself as a different Authorized Person or an unauthorized person identifying himself or herself as an Authorized Person. It is acknowledged and agreed that these procedures may be revised and updated from time to time and made available
in the AP Handbook 

  
 - 5 - 

 5.03 Responsibility of Participant. The Participant acknowledges that it will be solely responsible
for maintaining the security and confidentiality of the PIN Number, personal ID and password. The Participant agrees to keep confidential such PIN Numbers and passwords provided to it by the Distributor or Sponsor and to provide such PIN Numbers and
passwords only to Authorized Persons. The Participant will liable to the Sponsor, the Trust, each applicable Series and the Distributor for all Redemption Requests and Purchase Orders submitted by
non-Authorized Persons and for all losses or liabilities due to misuse of such PIN Number, personal ID or password by Authorized Persons of the Participant or by
non-Authorized Persons. The Participant may revoke the PIN Number and password at any time upon written notice to the Distributor, Sponsor and the Trust, and the Participant shall be responsible for doing so
immediately in the event that it becomes aware that an unauthorized person has received access to its PIN Number and/or password or has used the PIN Number and/or password in an unauthorized manner. The Participant agrees not to and to cause its
Authorized Persons not to share any PIN Number, personal ID or password with any third party without the prior written consent or the Participant, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. 

5.04 Responsibility of the Distributor. The Distributor shall be entitled to assume that all instructions issued to it using the
Participant’s PIN Number have been properly placed by Authorized Persons, unless the Participant has revoked its PIN Number at least 24 hours prior to such time (and, with respect to the Website, its password) and such revocation has been
acknowledged in writing to the Participant by the Distributor. The Distributor shall be under no obligation to verify that a Purchase Order or Redemption Request is being validly placed by an Authorized Person. Upon receipt of a written request by
the Participant to revoke a PIN Number or password, the Distributor shall de-activate the PIN Number and/or password as promptly as practicable. 

5.05 Certification. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement and as requested from time to time by the Sponsor and/or Distributor but
no less frequently than annually, the Participant shall deliver to the Distributor and the Sponsor, with copies to the Transfer Agent, a certificate in the form attached as Annex I hereto or in a form otherwise acceptable to the Distributor
and the Sponsor signed by the Participant’s Secretary or other duly authorized official setting forth the names, electronic mail addresses and telephone and facsimile numbers of all Authorized Persons. Such certificate may be accepted and
relied upon by the Distributor and the Sponsor as conclusive evidence of the facts set forth therein and shall be considered to be in full force and effect until delivery to the Distributor and the Sponsor of a superseding certificate in a form
approved by the Sponsor bearing a subsequent date. It shall be the responsibility of the Participant to ensure that the Distributor has a current list of all Authorized Persons. Upon the termination or revocation of authority of an Authorized Person
by the Participant, the Participant shall give prompt written notice of such fact to the Distributor and such notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Distributor. 

SECTION 6 STATUS OF PARTICIPANT AND DISTRIBUTOR 

6.01 Ability to Enter Into Agreement. Each of the Participant and Distributor hereby represents and warrants that it (i) is duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of organization, (ii) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged, and (iii) has the power and
authority, and the legal right, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and has taken all necessary action required by its governing documents or other applicable requirements of law to authorize the execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement. Each of the Participant and Distributor hereby represents and warrants that this Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Participant or the Distributor, as applicable, will constitute a legal, valid and
binding obligation of it and be enforceable against it in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement
of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 
 6.02
Clearing Status. The Participant hereby represents and warrants that with respect to all Purchase Orders and Redemption Requests of any Series, (i) it is a DTC Participant, and a Participating Party and (ii) it is duly licensed as
an FCM or clears through a duly licensed FCM. If, at any time, the Participant’s representation and warranty made in this Section 6.02 becomes inaccurate, Participant shall give prompt (but in any event within two
Business Days) written notice to the Distributor and the Sponsor in writing, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Distributor or the Sponsor may elect to immediately terminate this Agreement in their sole discretion. 

  
 - 6 - 

 6.03 Registration Status. The Participant hereby represents and warrants that it is
(i) registered as a broker-dealer under the 1934 Act, (ii) qualified to act as a broker-dealer in all of the U.S. states and in such other U.S. jurisdictions where it is so required to be qualified in order to carry out obligations under
this Agreement and to offer and sell Shares under applicable Law (to the extent it will offer or sell Shares in such jurisdictions), and (iii) a member in good standing of FINRA. The Participant also represents and warrants that, in connection
with its activities hereunder, it is either (a) registered with the CFTC and a member in good standing with NFA or (b) not required to be registered with the CFTC and a member of NFA. The Participant agrees that it will maintain such
registrations, qualifications, and membership in good standing and in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement. The Participant further agrees to comply with all applicable Laws and with the Constitution, By-Laws and Conduct Rules of FINRA, to the extent such Laws relate to Participant’s Purchase Orders or Redemption Requests and related transactions in, and activities with respect to, the Shares, and that it
will not offer or sell Shares of any Series in any state or jurisdiction where they may not lawfully be offered and/or sold. 
 6.04 Foreign
Status. If the Participant is offering and selling Shares of any Series of the Trust in jurisdictions outside the several states, territories and possessions of the United States, the Participant will maintain such licenses and registrations as
are required to offer or sell the Shares in such jurisdictions, observe the applicable laws and regulations of such jurisdiction in which such offer and/or sale is made, comply with disclosure requirements under applicable Law, and conduct its
business in accordance with the FINRA Conduct Rules to the extent consistent with the Laws of such jurisdiction. 
 6.05 Distributor Status.
The Participant understands and acknowledges that the method by which Shares will be created and traded may raise certain issues under applicable securities laws. For example, because new Creation Units may be issued and sold by the Trust on an
ongoing basis, at any point a “distribution”, as such term is used in the 1933 Act, may occur. The Distributor, Sponsor and the Trust hereby caution Participant that some activities on its part, depending on the circumstances, may
result in its being deemed a participant in a distribution in a manner which could render it a statutory underwriter and subject it to the prospectus delivery and liability provisions of the 1933 Act. The Participant also understands and
acknowledges that dealers who are not “underwriters” but are effecting transactions in Shares, whether or not participating in the distribution of Shares, are generally required to deliver a prospectus. In addition to satisfying the
prospectus delivery and disclosure requirements of the 1933 Act, the Participant and any other participant in the distribution of the Shares purchased by the Participant also has the obligation to comply with the disclosure delivery requirements of
the CEA. 
 6.06 Anti-Money Laundering. The Participant represents, warrants and covenants that it has established and presently maintains,
and will continue to maintain throughout the term of this Agreement, an anti-money laundering program (the “Program”) reasonably designed to prevent the Participant and any Series whose Shares are sold by the Participant from being
used as a conduit for money laundering or other illicit purposes or the financing of terrorist activities. The Participant represents and warrants that it is and agrees that, at all times this Agreement is in effect, it will be, in compliance with
the Program and all anti-money laundering laws, regulations and rules applicable to it including, without limitation, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the
“USA PATRIOT Act”). The Participant agrees to provide an annual written certification to the Sponsor that it has implemented a Program and that it will perform the specified requirements of the Sponsor’s customer identification
program. 
 SECTION 7 ROLE OF PARTICIPANT 
 7.01
Independent Contractor. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that for all purposes of this Agreement, the Participant will be deemed to be an independent contractor, and will have no authority to act as agent for the Trust, any Series, the
Sponsor, the Distributor or the Transfer Agent in any matter or in any respect in connection with this Agreement. The Participant agrees to make itself and its employees available, upon reasonable request, during normal business hours to consult
with the Distributor or the Sponsor or their designees concerning the performance of the Participant’s responsibilities under this Agreement. 

  
 - 7 - 

 7.02 Maintenance of Records. The Participant agrees to maintain records of all Purchase Orders and
Redemption Requests made by or through it and furnish copies of such records to the Sponsor or the Distributor upon their request. The Participant agrees, upon request, to provide to the Sponsor and the Distributor all information they may
reasonably request regarding sales of Shares made by or through the Participant. 
 SECTION 8 MARKETING MATERIALS AND REPRESENTATIONS 

The Participant represents, warrants and agrees that it will not make any representations concerning Shares, the Trust or any Series other than those
consistent with the Prospectus for each Series. The Participant agrees not to furnish or cause to be furnished to any person or to display or publish any information or materials relating to Shares (including, without limitation, promotional
materials and sales literature, advertisements, press releases, announcements, statements, posters, signs or other similar materials), except such information and materials as may be furnished to the Participant by the Distributor or the Sponsor and
such other information and materials as may be prepared by or for Participant and approved by the Distributor. The Participant agrees that any representation or statement in such reports, institutional sales literature, correspondence or other
similar materials prepared by or for Participant will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and, to the
extent such materials include statements of fact regarding the Shares, such statements of fact will be consistent with the Prospectus of the Series to which such Shares relate. As between the Trust, Sponsor and Distributor on one hand and the
Participant on the other, Participant agrees that Participant shall be fully responsible and liable for all reports, sales literature, correspondence, communications or other similar materials regarding any Series or Shares prepared by it,
notwithstanding that such materials were approved by the Distributor. 
 Participant agrees that, so long as this Agreement remains in effect, it may be
identified or named as an “Authorized Participant,” “underwriter” or any similar designation, in any materials relating to the applicable Series for which Participant is acting or the Trust, if requested or required to so
identify Participant or as may be necessary to meet the requirements of applicable Laws. 
 The Participant acknowledges that, in addition to satisfying the
prospectus delivery and disclosure requirements of the 1933 Act, it and any other participant in the distribution of the Shares purchased by the Participant have an obligation to comply with applicable prospectus delivery requirements under the
CEA.
 SECTION 9 INDEMNIFICATION; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 

9.01 Indemnification. The Participant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust, the Sponsor, the Distributor, the Transfer Agent,
their respective subsidiaries, Affiliated Persons, partners, directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls such persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act (each a “Indemnified
Party”) from and against any loss, liability, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs of investigation and preparation, collectively “Losses”) incurred by such Indemnified Party as a
result of (i) any breach by the Participant of any provision of this Agreement; (ii) any failure on the part of the Participant to perform any of its obligations set forth in this Agreement or as required pursuant to the disclosures set
forth in any Prospectus for a Series or the provisions of the AP Handbook; (iii) any failure by the Participant to comply with applicable Laws, (iv) actions of such Indemnified Party in reliance upon any instructions issued by the
Participant that are reasonably believed by the Indemnified Party to be genuine and to have been given by the Participant or an Authorized Person and (v) (A) any representation by the Participant, its employees or its agents or other
representatives about the Shares, any Indemnified Party or the Series that is not consistent with the Series’ then-current Prospectus and (B) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any research
reports, marketing material and sales 

  
 - 8 - 

 
literature described in Section 8 herein or any alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading to the extent that such statement or omission relates to the Shares or any Indemnified Party unless such statement or omission was consistent with the applicable Prospectus or made at the written direction of the Distributor.
The foregoing shall not apply to any Losses incurred by such Indemnified Party arising out of the Indemnified Party’s own fraud, willful misconduct or reckless disregard of its duties hereunder. 

9.02 Limitation of Liability. The Participant agrees that the Sponsor, the Distributor and the Trust shall not be liable, absent fraud or
willful misconduct, for losses incurred by the Participant in connection with the placement of Purchase Orders or Redemption Requests or otherwise, including as a result of unauthorized use of the Participant’s PIN Number. 

9.03 Trust Liability. The Participant agrees and consents to look solely to the assets of the particular Series in controversy for payment in
respect of any claim against or obligation of such Series.

 Exhibit 10.1 

FORM OF SPONSOR AGREEMENT 
 THIS SPONSOR
AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is dated as of    between Metaurus Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”) and Metaurus Equity Component Trust, a statutory trust organized under the
laws of Delaware (the “Trust”), both for itself and on behalf of each of its currently operating series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). 

 

	 	1.	The Trust and the Funds. The Trust and each of the Funds may be deemed commodity pools for purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended (the “Commodity Exchange Act”) and the applicable
regulations of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”). Each of the Funds is sponsored by the Sponsor, a commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor registered under the Commodity Exchange Act. Neither the Trust nor
any Fund is an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and neither is required to register thereunder. The Sponsor is not registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and is not required to
register thereunder. 

  

	 	2.	Appointment. The Trust hereby appoints Sponsor as commodity trading advisor for the Funds, with full power to supervise and direct the investment of the assets of the Funds as set forth herein. Sponsor hereby
accepts such appointment and agrees to render services on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 

  

	 	3.	Investment Direction. Sponsor will manage the Funds in accordance with Sponsor’s best judgment and consistent with the Funds’ investment objectives and investment strategies outlined in the Funds’
prospectus and registration statement on Form S-1. 

  

	 	4.	Reporting; Record Keeping. Sponsor shall advise the Trust, at such times as the Trust may specify, of any Fund investments made and the reasons for making a particular investment. Sponsor will be available at
reasonable times to discuss the management of the Funds with the Trust or its designee. Any written reports supplied by Sponsor to the Trust discussing Fund management are intended solely for the benefit of the Trust and the Funds, and the Trust
agrees that it will not disseminate such reports to any other party (other than the Funds’ service providers) without the prior consent of Sponsor, except as may be required by applicable law. Sponsor shall make or cause to be made, and shall
maintain or cause to be maintained, all records as are required to be made or maintained by it in its capacity as commodity pool operator and commodity trading advisor of the Funds. 

 

	 	5.	Other Accounts. The Trust understands and acknowledges that Sponsor may perform commodity trading advisory services for various persons other than the Funds. The Funds acknowledge that Sponsor may give advice and
take action concerning other investing pools that may be the same as, similar to or different from the advice given, or the timing and nature of action taken, concerning the Funds. Except to the extent necessary to perform Sponsor’s obligations
under this Agreement, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict the right of Sponsor, or any affiliate of Sponsor or any employee of Sponsor to engage in any other business or to devote time and attention to the management or other aspects
of any other business, whether of a similar or dissimilar nature, or to render services of any kind to any other corporation, firm, individual or association. 

  

	 	6.	Fees and Expenses. The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, shall pay Sponsor fees for its services as Sponsor hereunder and reimburse expenses of Sponsor as determined by Sponsor and the Trust, on behalf of each Fund,
from time to time, all as set forth in the registration statements or reports of the Trust publicly available on the EDGAR system of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“EDGAR filings”). The Sponsor and the Trust, on behalf of each
fund, agree that material changes to the fee payment and expense reimbursement structure shall not become effective prior to 30 days after such changes are described in one or more EDGAR filings. 

 

	 	7.	Representations; Indemnification. The Trust represents and warrants that: (a) it has been duly organized and is validly existing under the law of the state of its organization, (b) it is duly authorized
to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and has taken all action necessary to authorize its execution, delivery and performance, including the obtaining of any necessary governmental consents, (c) the execution, delivery and performance
of this Agreement, including the Investment Guidelines, does not and will not conflict with or violate any provision of law, rule, regulation, governing document of the Trust, contract, deed of trust, or other instrument to which the Trust is a
party or to which any of the Trust or Funds’ property is subject, (d) this Agreement is a valid and binding obligation enforceable against the Trust in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable insolvency or similar laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of general application) and (e) each Fund will be comprised of assets that are owned by each such Fund as principal, and will not be subject to either
(i) the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, or (ii) any lien, security interest or other similar encumbrance (other than in favor of the Clearing FCM or the CME clearinghouse). The
Trust shall hold Sponsor harmless from any liabilities, damages or expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by Sponsor for any actions taken by Sponsor acting in reasonable reliance upon such representations. 

 

	 	8.	CFTC Registration. Sponsor represents and warrants that it is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator. 

  

	 	9.	Liability. Sponsor will be liable for losses to the Funds that are the direct result of Sponsor’s bad faith, gross negligence, willful or reckless misconduct or breach of the express terms of this Agreement.
Except as set forth in the foregoing sentence, neither Sponsor nor its officers, employees or agents shall be liable hereunder for any act or omission or for any error of judgment in managing the Funds. Sponsor shall not be responsible for any
special, indirect or consequential damages, or any loss incurred by reason of any act or omission, by the Funds or any broker, dealer, futures commission merchant or custodian used hereunder or any authorized representative of the foregoing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall in any way constitute a waiver or limitation of any rights that the Trust or the Funds may have under the federal securities laws or other applicable law. 

	 	10.	Tax Filings. Except as described in EDGAR filings, Sponsor will not be responsible for making any tax credit or similar claim or any legal filing on the Trust’s or Funds’ behalf. 

 

	 	11.	Governing Law/Disputes. This Agreement is entered into in accordance with and shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that in the event that any law of the State of
Delaware shall require that the laws of another state or jurisdiction be applied in any proceeding, such Delaware law shall be superseded by this paragraph, and the remaining laws of the State of Delaware shall nonetheless be applied in such
proceeding. Each party agrees that in the event that any dispute arising from or relating to this Agreement becomes subject to any judicial proceeding, such party waives any right it may otherwise have to (a) seek punitive damages, or
(b) request a jury trial. 

  

	 	12.	Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by either party upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the other party. Any obligation or liability of either party resulting from actions or
inactions occurring prior to termination shall not be affected by termination of this Agreement. 

  

	 	13.	Assignment. Neither party shall assign this Agreement without the written consent of the other party. 

  

	 	14.	License to Use Marks. The Trust has been granted, pursuant to separate agreement, a no-fee license to use all service marks or trademarks which the Sponsor or its
affiliates have or may register for use in connection with financial services. 

  

	 	15.	Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the parties at their respective addresses. 

Sponsor shall comply with, and be entitled to act on, any instructions reasonably believed to be from an authorized representative of the
Trust. Sponsor and its employees and agents shall be fully protected from all liability in acting upon such instructions, without being required to determine the authenticity of the authorization or authority of the persons providing such
instructions. 
  

	 	16.	Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement is adjudicated to be void, illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and
each of such remaining terms and provisions shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law, unless a party demonstrates by a preponderance of the evidence that the invalidated provision was an essential economic term of this
Agreement. 

  

	 	17.	Integration; Amendment. This Agreement together with any other written agreements between the parties entered into concurrently with this Agreement contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect to
the transactions contemplated hereby and supersede all previous oral or written negotiations, commitments and understandings related thereto. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any respect, nor may any provision be waived, without the
written agreement of both parties. No waiver by one party of any obligation of the other hereunder shall be considered a waiver of any other obligation of such party. 

 

	 	18.	Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall execute and deliver such other documents or agreements as may be necessary or desirable for the implementation of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby. 

  

	 	19.	Headings. The headings of paragraphs herein are included solely for convenience and shall have no effect on the meaning of this Agreement. 

 

	 	20.	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.
