 laws and regulations that implemented MiFID II in the UK, the UK regulatory authority, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), has established position limits applicable to, among other commodity derivative contracts, aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, tin and zinc commodity derivative contracts traded on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”). LME may also impose accountability levels in certain contracts, where further directions in respect of those positions can then be required. If the Fund were to trade commodity derivatives contracts on other exchanges in the EEA or the UK, position limits may apply to such trading activity pursuant to the relevant national laws and regulations that implemented MiFID II. On January 31, 2020, the UK formally withdrew from the European Union (“EU”), subject to a transition period that expired on December 31, 2020. At this time, it is difficult to predict what the longer-term economic, tax, fiscal, legal, regulatory, and other implications of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU will be for the UK, the EU and the global financial markets generally and for the Fund and its investments specifically. Any UK firm that was trading derivatives in EEA markets using a MiFID passport prior to the conclusion of the transition period can no longer use a MiFID II passport to do so and instead needs to look to any MiFID II third country regime to access the EEA market or establish a MiFID II compliant EEA branch or subsidiary. The loss of MiFID II passports by UK-based firms could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to trade derivatives in EEA markets through UK-based firms. Accountability Levels. Exchanges may establish accountability levels applicable to futures contracts instead of position limits, provided that the futures contract is not subject to federal position limits. An exchange may order a person who holds or controls a position in excess of a position accountability level not to further increase its position, to comply with any prospective limit that exceeds the size of the position owned or controlled, or to reduce any open position that exceeds the position accountability level if the exchange determines that such action is necessary to maintain an orderly market. Position accountability levels could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to establish and maintain positions in commodity futures contracts to which such levels apply, if the Fund were to trade in such contracts. Such an outcome could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to pursue its investment objective. Daily Limits. U.S. futures exchanges and some foreign exchanges have regulations that limit the amount of fluctuation in futures contract prices that may occur during a single business day.
