 income earned in the investment of the proceeds will be less than the interest expense. Dollar Rolls Risk (BMEZ, BME, BIGZ, BSTZ and BST): Dollar rolls involve the risk that the market value of the securities that the Trust is committed to buy may decline below the price of the securities the Trust has sold. These transactions may involve leverage. When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Securities and Forward Commitments Risk (BDJ, BMEZ, BME, BCX and BSTZ): When-issued and delayed delivery securities and forward commitments involve the risk that the security the Trust buys will lose value prior to its delivery. There also is the risk that the security will not be issued or that the other party to the transaction will not meet its obligation. If this occurs, the Trust may lose both the investment opportunity for the assets it set aside to pay for the security and any gain in the security’s price. Short Sales Risk (BDJ, BGY, BMEZ, BME, BCX, BSTZ, BST and BUI): Because making short sales in securities that it does not own exposes the Trust to the risks associated with those securities, such short sales involve speculative exposure risk. The Trust will incur a loss as a result of a short sale if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Trust replaces the security sold short. Repurchase Agreements and Purchase and Sale Contracts Risk (BDJ, BMEZ, BME, BCX and BSTZ): If the other party to a repurchase agreement or purchase and sale contract defaults on its obligation under the agreement, the Trust may suffer delays and incur costs or lose money in exercising its rights under the agreement. If the seller fails to repurchase the security in either situation and the market value of the security declines, the Trust may lose money. Risks Associated with Private Company Investments (BDJ, BMEZ, BIGZ, BSTZ and BST): Private companies are generally not subject to SEC reporting requirements, are not required to maintain their accounting records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and are not required to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting. As a result, the Manager may not have timely or accurate information about the business, financial condition and results of operations of the private companies in which the Trust invests. There is risk that the Trust may invest on the basis of incomplete or inaccurate information, which may adversely affect the Trust’s investment performance. Private companies in which the Trust
