- Provide a return independent from traditional investments like equities and bonds
- Enhance portfolio diversification
- Reduce overall portfolio volatility

Diversification does not assure a profit, nor does it guarantee against a loss in a declining market.
The Fund’s investment activities involve a significant degree of risk and are suitable only for investors with a high tolerance for investment risk including the possible loss of principal. The Fund may invest in commodities, futures, forwards, derivatives (options and swaps) and other derivatives based on fixed income securities which are subject to credit and interest rate risk. Managed futures employ leverage; they are speculative investments that are subject to a significant amount of market risk and they are not appropriate for all investors. Although adding managed futures to a portfolio may provide diversification, managed futures are not a perfect hedging mechanism; there is no guarantee that managed futures will appreciate during periods of inflation or stock and bond market declines. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.
