Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss.

An investment in the Funds involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Commodities and futures are generally volatile and are not suitable for all investors. An investor may lose all or substantially all of an investment. Investing in commodity interests subject each Fund to the risks of its related industry.
