Further, in the event the Fund invests in alternative futures contracts as described below, that trade on a U.S. exchange, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the &#x201C;CFTC&#x201D;) and commodity exchanges may impose position limits on market participants trading in the commodity included in the Index. The Index is comprised of futures contracts on each of the Index Commodities that expire in a specific month and trade on a specific exchange (the &#x201C;Index Contracts&#x201D;). As disclosed in the Fund&#x2019;s Prospectus, if the Managing Owner determines in its commercially reasonable judgment that it has become impracticable or inefficient for any reason for the Fund to gain full or partial exposure to any Index Commodity by investing in a specific Index Contract, the Fund may invest in (i)&#xA0;a futures contract referencing the particular Index Commodity other than the Index Contract or, in the alternative, invest in (ii)&#xA0;other futures contracts not based on the particular Index Commodity ((i) and (ii)&#xA0;collectively, the &#x201C;Alternative Futures Contracts&#x201D;) if, in the commercially reasonable judgment of the Managing Owner, such Alternative Futures Contracts tend to exhibit trading prices that correlate with such Index Commodity.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; WHITE-SPACE: normal; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; WORD-SPACING: 0px; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: medium 'Times New Roman'; MARGIN-TOP: 12px; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 4%; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'" size="2">The Fund does not borrow money to increase leverage.
