WHAT ARE THE RISK FACTORS INVOLVED WITH AN INVESTMENT IN THE FUND – The Fund’s Operating Risks
The following information replaces the third risk factor of the above-referenced section of the prospectus.
The Sponsor is leanly staffed and relies heavily on key personnel to manage trading activities.
In managing and directing the day-to-day activities and affairs of the Fund, the Sponsor relies almost entirely on a small number of individuals, including Mr. Sal Gilbertie, Mr. Springer Harris and Ms. Cory Mullen-Rusin. If Mr. Gilbertie, Mr. Harris or Ms. Mullen-Rusin were to leave or be unable to carry out their present responsibilities, it may have an adverse effect on the management of the Fund. To the extent that the Sponsor establishes additional commodity pools, even greater demands will be placed on these individuals.
