Important Risks: Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Investments in the commodities market may increase the Fund's liquidity risk, volatility and risk of loss if adverse developments occur. • Investments linked to prices of commodities may be considered speculative. Significant exposure to commodities may subject a fund to greater volatility than traditional investments. The value of such instruments may be volatile and fluctuate widely based on a variety of factors.
