Objective And Strategy
ObjectiveProvide investment results that correlate to the performance of S&P GSCI™ Commodity Index.
Strategy
Seeks 100% exposure to the commodities market (or at least 80% at all times). Will gain exposure to the commodity markets by investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments, including swap agreements, commodity options, futures, options on futures and commodity-linked notes. Fund's exposure will tend to be heavily weighted toward oil and other energy-related commodities. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund holds U.S. Government securities or cash equivalents to collateralize these futures and options contracts.

Principal Risks
* This portfolio is non-diversified, with the potential to invest a greater portion of its assets in a limited number of companies. Consequently, this portfolio may have more risk as changes in the value of a single security may have a more significant effect on the portfolio's net asset value.
* This portfolio can leverage or use leveraged instruments or derivatives. Portfolios that use leverage, that is, borrow money, are subject to the risk that the cost of borrowing money to leverage will exceed the returns for the securities purchased or that the securities purchased may actually go down in value. Thus, the portfolio's net asset value can decrease more quickly than if the portfolio had not borrowed. Portfolios that use leveraged instruments or derivatives such as futures, options and swap agreements, may expose the portfolio to additional risks that it would not be subject to if it invested directly in the securities underlying those derivatives. The more a portfolio invests in leveraged instruments, the more the leverage will magnify any gains or losses on those investments.
* This portfolio is subject to the risks of concentrating a portfolio in a specific sector of the market. Changes in the specific sector will have a significant effect on the portfolio's net asset value.
* This portfolio is subject to tracking error risk such that the Advisor may not be able to cause the portfolio's performance to match or exceed that of its benchmark, either on a daily or an aggregate basis. Tracking error may cause the portfolio's performance to be less than you expect.
* Certain portfolios are subject to active trading risk. (Some may derive a significant portion of their assets from investors who take part in certain strategic and tactical asset allocation programs). The frequent exchange of shares of the portfolio may cause the portfolio to experience high turnover. High portfolio turnover may result in the portfolio having to pay higher transaction costs and may negatively impact the portfolio manager's ability to achieve the investment objective of the portfolio.
* The portfolio's exposure to the commodities markets may subject the portfolio to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates and events affecting a particular industry or commodity such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory developments.
