Addition to Risks Applicable to Investing in VIX Futures
Contracts. On February 24, 2022, Russia commenced a
military attack on Ukraine. The outbreak of hostilities between the
two countries could result in more widespread conflict and could
have a severe adverse effect on the region, the markets for gold,
silver, oil, natural gas and currencies and the price of Financial
Instruments based on such commodities, and other markets. In
addition, sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and
other countries, and any sanctions imposed in the future could have
a significant adverse impact on the Russian economy and related
markets. The price and liquidity of the futures contracts in which
each Fund invests may fluctuate widely as a result of the conflict
and related events. How long such conflict and related events will
last and whether it will escalate further cannot be predicted.
Impacts from the conflict and related events could have significant
impact on a Fund’s performance, and the value of an investment in
the Fund may decline significantly.
