Futures contracts are subject to inherent leverage risk because they are typically secured by margin deposits representing a small percentage of a futures contract’s entire market value.

Commodity pools’ trading positions in futures contracts are typically required to be secured by the deposit of margin funds that represent only a small percentage of a futures contract’s entire market value. This feature creates the potential for commodity pools to “leverage” their assets by purchasing or selling futures contracts with an aggregate notional amount in excess of the commodity pool’s assets.

The Fund is subject to the risks associated with Commodity-Linked Derivatives.

The value of a commodity-linked derivative investment typically is based upon the price movements of a physical commodity and may be affected by changes in overall market movements, volatility of an index, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments. Investments in commodity-linked derivatives may be subject to greater volatility than non-derivative based investments. Commodity-linked derivatives also may be subject to credit and interest rate risks that in general affect the values of debt securities.

The Fund’s usage of commodities derivatives investments involves additional, and potentially greater, risks of investing in the underlying asset directly.

The use of derivatives (including futures and forwards) involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks of investing directly in the underlying commodity. These risks include, but are not limited to, leverage risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, market risk, counterparty risk, and credit risk. Derivatives may at times be highly illiquid, and the Fund may not be able to close out or sell a derivative at a particular time or at an anticipated price. Derivatives can be difficult to value and valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil. There may be imperfect correlation between the derivative and that of the reference asset, resulting in unexpected returns that could materially adversely affect the Fund. Derivatives are also subject to additional risks such as operational risk, including settlement issues, and legal risk, including that underlying documentation is incomplete or ambiguous. Certain derivatives (such as swaps and options) are bi-lateral agreements that expose the Fund to counterparty risk. A counterparty (
