1 Underlying Index history is hypothetical and does not represent Fund returns. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under or overcompensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown above.
The Index Base Date is July 31, 1998. The Fund seeks to track the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index - Optimum Yield Excess Return™ (Symbol: DBLCIX). Results for the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index - Optimum Yield Total Return™ (Symbol: DBLCOYTR), which consists of the Index plus 3-month United States Treasury securities returns, are displayed because the Fund collateralizes futures positions with 3-month United States Treasury securities. Please see the prospectus for a full description of how the Fund invests and the master-feeder structure of the Fund and for a complete list of risks associated with an investment in the Fund.
2 Fund and Index performance since inception are based on the Fund’s exchange listing date of February 3, 2006. From the Fund’s inception until May 24, 2006, the Fund followed the non-Optimum Yield version of the Index. Because the Fund has followed the Optimum Yield™ version of the Index since that date, the Index returns from the Fund’s inception reflect a blend of the performance of the non-Optimum Yield and Optimum Yield™ versions of the Index. The S&P Goldman Sachs Commodity Index - Total Return, Dow Jones – AIG Commodity Index Total Return Index and the S&P 500 since inception of the Fund are calculated as of the same date. All other index history is based on the available historical performance of such index.
The S&P Goldman Sachs Commodity Index - Total Return and the Dow Jones – AIG Commodity Index Total Return Index are unmanaged indexes used as a measurement of change in commodity market conditions based on the performance of a basket of commodities. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of the U.S. stock market. S & P GSCITM is a trademark of Standard & Poor's, a Division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Dow Jones – AIG Commodity IndexSM is a trademark of Dow Jones & Co., Inc. and AIG Financial Products Corp. You cannot invest directly in an index.
