<R>Effective February 4, 2010, Premkumar Narasimhan no longer serves as a portfolio manager of Commodity Strategy. All references to Mr. Narasimhan in the "Management Contract" section beginning on page 27 are no longer applicable.</R>

The following information supplements similar information found in the "Management Contract" section beginning on page 27.

Commodity Strategy is managed by Geode, a sub-adviser to the fund. Maximilian Kaufmann is a portfolio manager of the fund and receives compensation for his services. As of December 31, 2009, portfolio manager compensation generally consists of a fixed base salary, a bonus that is based on both objective and subjective criteria, and, in certain cases, participation in a profit-based compensation plan. A portion of the portfolio manager's compensation may be deferred based on criteria established by Geode or at the election of the portfolio manager.

The portfolio manager's base salary is determined annually by level of responsibility and tenure at Geode. The primary component for determining the portfolio manager's bonus is the pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) relative to a custom peer group, if applicable, and relative to a benchmark index assigned to each fund or account. Performance is measured over multiple measurement periods that eventually encompass periods of up to five years. A portion of the portfolio manager's bonus is linked to the fund's relative pre-tax investment performance measured against the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total Return. A subjective component of the portfolio manager's bonus is based on the portfolio manager's overall contribution to the management of Geode, including recruiting, monitoring, and mentoring within the investment management teams, as well as time spent assisting in firm promotion. The portfolio manager may also be compensated under a profit-based compensation plan, which is primarily based on the profits of Geode.

The portfolio manager's compensation plan can give rise to potential conflicts of interest. The manager's base pay tends to increase with additional and more complex responsibilities that include increased assets under management and a portion of the bonus relates to firm promotion efforts, which together indirectly link compensation to sales. Managing and providing research to multiple accounts (including proprietary accounts) can give rise to potential conflicts of interest if the accounts have different objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees as the portfolio manager must allocate his time and investment ideas across multiple accounts. Securities selected for accounts other than the fund may outperform the securities selected for the fund.

In addition to managing the fund's investment portfolio, the portfolio manager also manages other investment portfolios and accounts on behalf of Geode or its affiliates.
