VESTMENTS. AN INVESTOR IN ANY OF THE FUNDS COULD POTENTIALLY LOSE THE FULL PRINCIPAL VALUE OF HIS/HER INVESTMENT WITHIN A SINGLE DAY. THE FUNDS GENERALLY ARE INTENDED TO BE USED ONLY FOR SHORT-TERM TIME HORIZONS. SHAREHOLDERS WHO INVEST IN THE FUNDS SHOULD CONSIDER ACTIVELY MANAGING AND MONITORING THEIR INVESTMENTS. An investor should only consider an investment in a Fund if he or she understands the consequences of seeking exposure to VIX futures contracts. The Funds are benchmarked to the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index; the Funds are not benchmarked to the VIX. The S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index and the VIX are two separate indices and can be expected to perform very differently. The VIX is a non-investable index that measures the implied volatility of the S&P 500. For these purposes, “implied volatility” is a measure of the expected volatility ( i.e ., the rate and magnitude of variations in performance) of the S&P 500 over the next 30 days. The VIX does not represent the actual volatility of the S&P 500. The VIX is calculated based on the prices of a constantly changing portfolio of S&P 500 put and call options. The S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index, the Index used by each Fund, consists of short-term VIX futures contracts. As such, the performance of the S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Index can be expected to be very different from the actual volatility of the S&P 500, or the performance of the VIX, or one and one-half times (1.5x) or one-half the inverse (-0.5x) of the actual volatility of the S&P 500 or the performance of the VIX. Unlike certain other asset classes that, in general, have historically increased in price over long periods of time, the volatility of the S&P 500 as measured by the VIX has historically reverted to a long-term average level over time. This means that the potential upside of an investment in a Fund may be limited. In addition, gains, if any, may be subject to significant and unexpected reversals. The Funds generally are intended to be used only for short-term investment horizons. Investors holding Shares of the Funds beyond short-term periods have an increased risk of losing all or a substantial
