Potential benefits
Investors may wish to invest in the currency in order to take
advantage of short-term tactical or long–term strategic
opportunities.
An investor who believes that the U.S. dollar is weakening relative
to the currency may capitalize on the potential movement.
An investor who believes that the currency is overvalued relative
to the U.S. dollar may choose to sell CurrencyShares, including
short sales, as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC).
Investors are able to access the currency market through a
traditional brokerage account and the shares trade daily on the
NYSE Arca.
Investment risk
CurrencyShares are subject to risks similar to those of stocks
and may not be suitable for all investors. The value of the Shares
relates directly to the value of the Australian Dollars held by the
Trust. Fluctuations in the price of the Australian Dollar could
materially and adversely affect the value of the Shares.
If the Trust incurs expenses in USD, the Trust would be required to
sell Australian Dollars to pay these expenses. The sale of the
Trusts Australian Dollars to pay expenses in USD at a time of low
Australian Dollars prices could adversely affect the value of the
Shares.
If interest earned by the Trust does not exceed the Trusts
expenses, the Trustee will withdraw Australian Dollars from the
Trust to pay these excess expenses, which will reduce the amount of
Australian Dollars represented by each Share on an ongoing basis
and may result in adverse tax consequences for Shareholders.
Substantial sales of Australian Dollars by the official sector
could adversely affect an investment in the Shares.
The USD/Australian Dollar exchange rate, like foreign exchange
rates in general, can be volatile and difficult to predict. This
volatility could materially and adversely affect the performance of
the Shares. Investment in foreign exchange related products is
subject to many factors that contribute to or increase volatility,
such as national debt levels and trade deficits, changes in
domestic and foreign interest rates, and investors’ expectations
concerning interest rates, currency exchange rates and global or
regional political, economic or financial events and
situations.
The interest rate paid by the Depository, if any, may not be the
best rate available. If the Sponsor determines that the interest
rate is inadequate, then its sole recourse is to remove the
Depository and terminate the Deposit Accounts.
The Fund is subject to certain other risks. Please see the current

Company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
