However, the fund expects to engage in frequent&lt;br /&gt;trading of derivatives, which could have tax consequences that impact shareholders, &lt;br /&gt;such as the realization of taxable short-term capital gains. In addition, the fund &lt;br /&gt;could incur transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities &lt;br /&gt;and other instruments.

The Index, which was developed and is maintained by&lt;br /&gt;Credit Suisse, is designed to provide exposure to both up and down price trends&lt;br /&gt;in four broad asset classes: equities, fixed income, commodities and currencies.&lt;br /&gt;The Index is currently composed of 14 futures contracts and 4 commodity indices&lt;br /&gt;which provide exposure to the asset classes. The Index uses a proprietary&lt;br /&gt;quantitative methodology to seek to identify price trends in each of the asset&lt;br /&gt;classes over a variety of time horizons. Components of the Index, which may&lt;br /&gt;change from time to time, are positioned either long or short based on the price&lt;br /&gt;trends within the asset classes determined using the Index&apos;s quantitative&lt;br /&gt;methodology.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing directly and/or&lt;br /&gt;indirectly through the Subsidiary (as described below) in a combination of&lt;br /&gt;securities and derivative instruments that, as a whole, are intended to produce&lt;br /&gt;returns, before fees and expenses, that generally track the returns of the Index. &lt;br /&gt;The fund&apos;s investments may include, but are not limited to, equity index futures, &lt;br /&gt;swaps on equity index futures, equity swaps, fixed income futures, swaps on fixed &lt;br /&gt;income futures, commodity and commodity index-linked futures, swaps on commodity &lt;br /&gt;and commodity index-linked futures, currency futures, swaps on currency futures, &lt;br /&gt;currency forwards and equity-, fixed income-, commodity- and currency-linked &lt;br /&gt;structured notes and exchange-traded notes ("ETNs"). There are no geographic &lt;br /&gt;limits on the fund&apos;s holdings and the fund will have exposure to U.S. and &lt;br /&gt;non-U.S. securities and currencies. In addition, the fund may have exposure &lt;br /&gt;to issuers of any size or credit quality. The fund also invests a significant &lt;br /&gt;portion of its assets in investment grade money market instruments, which may &lt;br /&gt;include, but are not limited to, U.S. government securities, U.S. government &lt;br /&gt;agency securities, short-term fixed income securities, repurchase agreements, &lt;br /&gt;money market mutual fund shares, and cash and cash equivalents with one year &lt;br /&gt;or less to maturity. The fund&apos;s money market instrument holdings serve as &lt;br /&gt;collateral for the fund&apos;s derivative positions and also earn income for the&lt;br /&gt;fund. The fund&apos;s return is expected to be derived principally from changes in&lt;br /&gt;the value of securities and its portfolio is expected to consist principally of&lt;br /&gt;securities.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The fund&apos;s use of futures, forwards, swaps and certain other financial&lt;br /&gt;instruments will have the economic effect of financial leverage. Financial&lt;br /&gt;leverage magnifies the exposure to the swings in prices of an asset class&lt;br /&gt;underlying a financial instrument and results in increased volatility, which&lt;br /&gt;means that the fund will have the potential for greater gains, as well as &lt;br /&gt;the potential for greater losses, than if the fund does not use financial&lt;br /&gt;instruments that have a leveraging effect. Leveraging tends to magnify,&lt;br /&gt;sometimes significantly, the effect of any increase or decrease in the fund&apos;s &lt;br /&gt;exposure to an asset class and may cause the fund&apos;s net asset value ("NAV") &lt;br /&gt;to be volatile. A decline in the fund&apos;s assets due to losses magnified by the &lt;br /&gt;financial instruments providing leveraged exposure may require the fund to &lt;br /&gt;liquidate portfolio positions to satisfy its obligations, to meet redemption &lt;br /&gt;requests or to meet asset segregation requirements under the Investment Company &lt;br /&gt;Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), when it may not be advantageous to &lt;br /&gt;do so.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The fund will enter into short positions in seeking to track the Index, and may&lt;br /&gt;use futures and swaps to do so. For example, the fund may enter into a futures&lt;br /&gt;contract pursuant to which it agrees to sell an asset (that it does not&lt;br /&gt;currently own) at a specified price at a specified point in the future. This&lt;br /&gt;gives the fund a short position with respect to the asset. At times, the fund&lt;br /&gt;may have significant short positions as a result of the composition of the&lt;br /&gt;Index.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The fund intends to make investments through the Credit Suisse Cayman Liquid&lt;br /&gt;Managed Futures Strategy Fund, Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the fund&lt;br /&gt;organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the "Subsidiary"), and may&lt;br /&gt;invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. The fund will invest &lt;br /&gt;in the Subsidiary primarily to gain exposure to the commodities markets within &lt;br /&gt;the limitations of the federal tax laws, rules and regulations that apply to&lt;br /&gt;registered investment companies. Generally, the Subsidiary will invest in (long&lt;br /&gt;and short) commodity-linked futures and swaps, but it may also invest in other&lt;br /&gt;types of futures, swaps and options, as well as certain money market instruments, &lt;br /&gt;including U.S. government securities, money market fund shares, repurchase &lt;br /&gt;agreements and other high-quality, short-term fixed income instruments. The &lt;br /&gt;primary purpose of the money market instruments held by the Subsidiary will be &lt;br /&gt;to serve as collateral for the Subsidiary&apos;s derivative positions; however, these &lt;br /&gt;instruments may also earn income for the Subsidiary.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Index is rebalanced on a daily basis. Upon rebalancing, the Index may reposition &lt;br /&gt;a component from long to short, or vice versa, based on the prevailing trends of the &lt;br /&gt;component&apos;s market price identified by the Index&apos;s quantitative methodology. The &lt;br /&gt;fund generally repositions its portfolio holdings on a daily basis in accordance with &lt;br /&gt;the rebalancing of the Index. The percentage of the fund&apos;s portfolio exposed to each &lt;br /&gt;asset class will vary from time to time as the Index component positions change. In &lt;br /&gt;addition, for purposes of efficient portfolio management or to avoid unnecessary &lt;br /&gt;costs, the portfolio managers may choose to not include one or more Index components &lt;br /&gt;in the fund&apos;s portfolio in certain limited circumstances.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The fund is "non-diversified," meaning that a relatively high percentage of its&lt;br /&gt;assets may be invested in a limited number of issuers of securities.&lt;/tt&gt;</rr:StrategyNarrativeTextBlock>

Simply defined, risk is the possibility &lt;br /&gt;that you will lose money or not make money.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Principal risk factors for the fund are discussed below. Before you invest, please &lt;br /&gt;make sure you understand the risks that apply to the fund. As with any mutual fund, &lt;br /&gt;you could lose money over any period of time.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The fund is not a complete investment program and should only form a part of a&lt;br /&gt;diversified portfolio. Investors in the fund should be willing to assume the&lt;br /&gt;risks of potentially significant short-term share price fluctuations.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Investments in the fund are not bank deposits and are not insured or guaranteed&lt;br /&gt;by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;CFTC REGULATION&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Due to recent Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") rule amendments, the &lt;br /&gt;disclosures and operations of the fund will need to comply with applicable&lt;br /&gt;regulations governing commodity pools, which will increase the fund&apos;s regulatory&lt;br /&gt;compliance costs. Other potentially adverse regulatory initiatives could&lt;br /&gt;develop.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;COMMODITY EXPOSURE RISKS&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Exposure to the commodities markets may subject the fund to greater volatility&lt;br /&gt;than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity futures and&lt;br /&gt;swaps may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index&lt;br /&gt;volatility, changes in interest rates, or sectors affecting a particular&lt;br /&gt;industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease,&lt;br /&gt;embargoes, tariffs and international economic, political and regulatory&lt;br /&gt;developments.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;CONCENTRATION RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If the Index is or becomes concentrated in a particular industry or group of&lt;br /&gt;industries, the fund may invest 25% or more of the value of its total assets in&lt;br /&gt;that industry or group of industries to the extent that it is necessary to gain&lt;br /&gt;exposure to that industry or group of industries for purposes of tracking the&lt;br /&gt;Index. Concentration of investments in a particular industry or group of&lt;br /&gt;industries could subject the fund to greater risk of loss and could be&lt;br /&gt;considerably more volatile than a broad-based market index or other mutual &lt;br /&gt;funds that are diversified across a greater number of industries.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;CREDIT RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The issuer of a debt instrument, the borrower of a loan or the counterparty to a&lt;br /&gt;contract, including derivatives contracts, may default or otherwise become unable &lt;br /&gt;to honor a financial obligation. Changes in an issuer&apos;s credit rating or the market&apos;s &lt;br /&gt;perception of an issuer&apos;s creditworthiness also may affect the value of the fund&apos;s &lt;br /&gt;investment in that issuer.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;CURRENCY RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Currency risk is the risk that changes in currency exchange rates will&lt;br /&gt;negatively affect securities or instruments denominated in, and/or payments&lt;br /&gt;received in, foreign currencies. Adverse changes in currency exchange rates&lt;br /&gt;(relative to the U.S. dollar) may erode or reverse any potential gains from &lt;br /&gt;the fund&apos;s investments in financial instruments with underlying securities or&lt;br /&gt;instruments denominated in a foreign currency or may widen existing losses.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;DERIVATIVES RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Derivatives are financial contracts whose values depend on, or are derived &lt;br /&gt;from, the value of an underlying asset, instrument or index. The fund&apos;s use of&lt;br /&gt;derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than,&lt;br /&gt;the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional&lt;br /&gt;investments. Derivatives are subject to a number of risks described elsewhere in&lt;br /&gt;this Prospectus, such as commodity exposure risks, currency risk, equity risk,&lt;br /&gt;fixed income risk, interest rate risk, market risk and credit risk. Also,&lt;br /&gt;suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;EQUITY RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Equity security prices have historically risen and fallen in periodic cycles.&lt;br /&gt;U.S. and foreign equity markets have experienced periods of substantial price&lt;br /&gt;volatility in the past and may do so again in the future.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;EXCHANGE-TRADED NOTES RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;ETNs are a type of unsecured, unsubordinated debt security that have&lt;br /&gt;characteristics and risks similar to those of fixed income securities and &lt;br /&gt;trade on a major exchange similar to shares of exchange-traded funds ("ETFs").&lt;br /&gt;However, this type of debt security differs from other types of bonds and notes&lt;br /&gt;because ETN returns are based upon the performance of a market index minus&lt;br /&gt;applicable fees, no periodic coupon payments are distributed, and no principal&lt;br /&gt;protections exist. The purpose of ETNs is to create a type of security that&lt;br /&gt;combines the aspects of both bonds and ETFs. The value of an ETN may be&lt;br /&gt;influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the ETN,&lt;br /&gt;volatility and lack of liquidity in underlying commodities or securities&lt;br /&gt;markets, changes in the applicable interest rates, changes in the issuer&apos;s&lt;br /&gt;credit rating and economic, legal, political or geographic events that affect&lt;br /&gt;the referenced commodity or security.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FIXED INCOME RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The market value of fixed income investments, and financial instruments related&lt;br /&gt;to those fixed income investments, will change in response to interest rate&lt;br /&gt;changes and other factors, such as changes in the effective maturities and&lt;br /&gt;credit ratings of fixed income investments. During periods of falling interest&lt;br /&gt;rates, the values of outstanding fixed income securities and related financial&lt;br /&gt;instruments generally rise. Conversely, during periods of rising interest rates,&lt;br /&gt;the values of such securities and related financial instruments generally&lt;br /&gt;decline. Fixed income investments are also subject to credit risk.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;FOREIGN SECURITIES RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;A fund that invests outside the U.S. carries additional risks that include:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;o Currency Risk See "Currency Risk" above.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;o Information Risk Key information about an issuer, security or market may be&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#xA0;&amp;#xA0;inaccurate or unavailable.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;o Political Risk Foreign governments may expropriate assets, impose capital or&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#xA0;&amp;#xA0;currency controls, impose punitive taxes, or nationalize a company or industry.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#xA0;&amp;#xA0;Any of these actions could have a severe effect on security prices and impair&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#xA0;&amp;#xA0;the fund&apos;s ability to bring its capital or income back to the U.S. Other&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#xA0;&amp;#xA0;political risks include economic policy changes, social and political&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#xA0;&amp;#xA0;instability, military action and war.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;FORWARDS RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Forwards are not exchange-traded and therefore no clearinghouse or exchange&lt;br /&gt;stands ready to meet the obligations of the contracts. Thus, the fund faces &lt;br /&gt;the risk that its counterparties may not perform their obligations. Forward&lt;br /&gt;contracts are not regulated by the CFTC and therefore, the fund will not &lt;br /&gt;receive any benefit of CFTC regulation when trading forwards.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;FUTURES CONTRACTS RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The risks associated with the fund&apos;s use of futures contracts and swaps and&lt;br /&gt;structured notes that reference the price of futures contracts include the &lt;br /&gt;risk that: (i) changes in the price of a futures contract may not always track &lt;br /&gt;the changes in market value of the underlying reference asset; (ii) trading&lt;br /&gt;restrictions or limitations may be imposed by an exchange, and government&lt;br /&gt;regulations may restrict trading in futures contracts; and (iii) if the fund &lt;br /&gt;has insufficient cash to meet margin requirements, the fund may need to sell &lt;br /&gt;other investments, including at disadvantageous times.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;INDEX/TRACKING ERROR RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Although the fund attempts to track the investment performance of the Index, the&lt;br /&gt;fund may not be able to duplicate its exact return. In addition, unlike the fund, &lt;br /&gt;the returns of the Index are not reduced by investment and other operating expenses.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;INTEREST RATE RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Changes in interest rates may cause a decline in the market value of an&lt;br /&gt;investment. With bonds and other debt instruments, a rise in interest rates&lt;br /&gt;typically causes a fall in values, while a fall in interest rates typically&lt;br /&gt;causes a rise in values. Generally, the longer the maturity or duration of a&lt;br /&gt;debt instrument, the greater the impact of a change in interest rates on the&lt;br /&gt;instrument&apos;s value.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;LEVERAGING RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The fund may invest in certain derivatives that provide leveraged exposure. The&lt;br /&gt;fund&apos;s investment in these instruments generally requires a small investment&lt;br /&gt;relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed. As a result, such&lt;br /&gt;investments may cause the fund to lose more than the amount it invested in &lt;br /&gt;those instruments. The net asset value of the fund when employing leverage &lt;br /&gt;will be more volatile and sensitive to market movements. Leverage may involve &lt;br /&gt;the creation of a liability that requires the portfolio to pay interest.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;MARKET RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The market value of an instrument may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and&lt;br /&gt;unpredictably. These fluctuations, which are often referred to as "volatility,"&lt;br /&gt;may cause an instrument to be worth less than it was worth at an earlier time.&lt;br /&gt;Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, sector of the economy, or the&lt;br /&gt;market as a whole. Market risk is common to most investments - including stocks,&lt;br /&gt;bonds and commodities, and the mutual funds that invest in them.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;MODEL AND STYLE RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The fund bears the risk that the Index&apos;s proprietary quantitative methodology&lt;br /&gt;will not be successful in identifying price trends in each of the asset classes&lt;br /&gt;to which the Index provides exposure. Further, the Index&apos;s proprietary&lt;br /&gt;quantitative methodology may incorrectly identify price trends and these&lt;br /&gt;misidentified opportunities may lead to substantial losses. In addition, there&lt;br /&gt;may be periods when investing based on price trends is out of favor, and during&lt;br /&gt;which the investment performance of a fund or index using a trend strategy may&lt;br /&gt;underperform funds or indices using other investment approaches.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;MONEY MARKET FUNDS RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Investing in money market funds subjects the fund to a pro rata portion of the&lt;br /&gt;money market fund&apos;s fees and expenses.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;NON-DIVERSIFIED STATUS&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The fund is considered a non-diversified investment company under the 1940 Act,&lt;br /&gt;and is permitted to invest a greater proportion of its assets in the securities&lt;br /&gt;of a smaller number of issuers. As a result, the fund may be subject to greater&lt;br /&gt;volatility with respect to its portfolio securities than a fund that is&lt;br /&gt;diversified.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;PORTFOLIO TURNOVER RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The fund expects to engage in frequent trading of derivatives. Active and&lt;br /&gt;frequent trading may lead to the realization and distribution to shareholders &lt;br /&gt;of higher short-term capital gains, which would increase their tax liability.&lt;br /&gt;Frequent trading also increases transaction costs, which could detract from the&lt;br /&gt;fund&apos;s performance.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or&lt;br /&gt;insolvency of the seller, including losses and possible delays or restrictions&lt;br /&gt;upon the fund&apos;s ability to dispose of the underlying securities. To the extent&lt;br /&gt;that, in the meantime, the value of the securities that the fund has purchased&lt;br /&gt;has decreased, the fund could experience a loss. The fund will be exposed to the&lt;br /&gt;credit of the counterparties to repurchase agreements and their ability to&lt;br /&gt;satisfy the terms of the agreements, which exposes the fund to the risk that the&lt;br /&gt;counterparties may default on their obligations to perform under the agreements.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;SHORT POSITION RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The fund or the Subsidiary may enter into a short position through a futures&lt;br /&gt;contract or swap agreement. Taking short positions involves leverage of the&lt;br /&gt;fund&apos;s or the Subsidiary&apos;s assets and presents various risks. If the price of&lt;br /&gt;the asset, instrument or market on which the fund or the Subsidiary has taken &lt;br /&gt;a short position increases, then the fund or the Subsidiary will incur a loss&lt;br /&gt;equal to the increase in price from the time that the short position was entered&lt;br /&gt;into plus any premiums and interest paid to a third party. Therefore, taking&lt;br /&gt;short positions involves the risk that losses may be exaggerated, potentially&lt;br /&gt;losing more money than the actual cost of the investment. The fund&apos;s or the&lt;br /&gt;Subsidiary&apos;s loss on a short sale could theoretically be unlimited in a case&lt;br /&gt;where the fund or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, is unable, for whatever&lt;br /&gt;reason, to close out its short position. The fund&apos;s risk of loss with respect &lt;br /&gt;to short sales may be significant, as the fund may have a substantial amount &lt;br /&gt;of short positions in its portfolio.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;SPECULATIVE EXPOSURE RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Gains or losses from speculative positions in a derivative may be much greater&lt;br /&gt;than the derivative&apos;s original cost. For example, potential losses from swaps &lt;br /&gt;and speculative short sales are unlimited.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;STRUCTURED NOTE RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The value of a structured note will be influenced by time to maturity, level &lt;br /&gt;of supply and demand for the type of note, interest rate and market volatility,&lt;br /&gt;changes in the issuer&apos;s credit rating, and economic, legal, political, or&lt;br /&gt;geographic events that affect the reference asset. In addition, there may be &lt;br /&gt;a lag between a change in the value of the underlying reference asset and the&lt;br /&gt;value of the structured note.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;SUBSIDIARY RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;By investing in the Subsidiary, the fund is indirectly exposed to the risks&lt;br /&gt;associated with the Subsidiary&apos;s investments. The derivatives and other&lt;br /&gt;investments held by the Subsidiary are generally similar to those that are&lt;br /&gt;permitted to be held by the fund and are subject to the same risks that apply &lt;br /&gt;to similar investments if held directly by the fund. These risks are described&lt;br /&gt;elsewhere in this Prospectus. There can be no assurance that the investment&lt;br /&gt;objective of the Subsidiary will be achieved.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act, and, unless otherwise noted&lt;br /&gt;in this Prospectus, is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940&lt;br /&gt;Act. However, the fund wholly owns and controls the Subsidiary, and the fund &lt;br /&gt;and the Subsidiary are both managed by Credit Suisse, making it unlikely that &lt;br /&gt;the Subsidiary will take action contrary to the interests of the fund and its&lt;br /&gt;shareholders. The fund&apos;s Board of Trustees has oversight responsibility for the&lt;br /&gt;investment activities of the fund, including its investment in the Subsidiary,&lt;br /&gt;and the fund&apos;s role as sole shareholder of the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary will&lt;br /&gt;be subject to the same investment restrictions and limitations, and follow the&lt;br /&gt;same compliance policies and procedures as the fund.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Changes in the laws of the United States and/or the Cayman Islands could result&lt;br /&gt;in the inability of the fund and/or the Subsidiary to continue to operate as it&lt;br /&gt;does currently and could adversely affect the fund.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;SWAP AGREEMENTS RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Swap agreements involve the risk that the party with whom the fund has entered&lt;br /&gt;into the swap will default on its obligation to pay the fund and the risk that&lt;br /&gt;the fund will not be able to meet its obligations to pay the other party to the&lt;br /&gt;agreement.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;TAX RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;In order to qualify as a Regulated Investment Company (a "RIC") under the Internal &lt;br /&gt;Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the fund must meet certain requirements &lt;br /&gt;regarding the source of its income, the diversification of its assets and the &lt;br /&gt;distribution of its income. The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has issued a ruling &lt;br /&gt;that income realized from certain types of commodity-linked derivatives would not be &lt;br /&gt;qualifying income. As a result, the fund&apos;s ability to realize income from investments &lt;br /&gt;in such commodity-linked derivatives as part of its investment strategy would be &lt;br /&gt;limited to a maximum of 10% of its gross income. If the fund fails to qualify as a &lt;br /&gt;RIC, the fund will be subject to federal income tax on its net income at regular &lt;br /&gt;corporate rates (without reduction for distributions to shareholders). When &lt;br /&gt;distributed, that income also would be taxable to shareholders as an ordinary &lt;br /&gt;dividend to the extent attributable to the fund&apos;s earnings and profits. If the fund &lt;br /&gt;were to fail to qualify as a RIC and became subject to federal income tax, &lt;br /&gt;shareholders of the fund would be subject to diminished returns.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The IRS has issued private letter rulings to registered investment companies&lt;br /&gt;concluding that income derived from their investment in a wholly-owned subsidiary &lt;br /&gt;would constitute qualifying income to the fund. The IRS has indicated that the &lt;br /&gt;granting of these types of private letter rulings is currently suspended, pending &lt;br /&gt;further internal discussion. As a result, the fund has not received and there can &lt;br /&gt;be no assurance that the IRS will grant, such a private letter ruling to the fund. &lt;br /&gt;If the fund does not request and receive such a private letter ruling, there is a &lt;br /&gt;risk that the IRS could assert that the income derived from the fund&apos;s investment &lt;br /&gt;in the Subsidiary will not be considered qualifying income for purposes of the fund &lt;br /&gt;remaining qualified as a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Obligations of U.S. government agencies and authorities are supported by varying&lt;br /&gt;degrees of credit but generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of&lt;br /&gt;the U.S. government. No assurance can be given that the U.S. government will&lt;br /&gt;provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated&lt;br /&gt;by law to do so.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;VALUATION RISK&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The lack of an active trading market may make it difficult to obtain an accurate&lt;br /&gt;price for an instrument held by the fund. Many derivative instruments are not&lt;br /&gt;actively traded.&lt;/tt&gt;</rr:RiskNarrativeTextBlock>
