In response to Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. and other countries, as well as the European
Union, have issued broad-ranging economic sanctions designed to impose severe pressure on Russia’s economy. Such sanctions, and the conflict generally, may have adverse effects on regional and global economic markets, and may result in
increased volatility in the price of Index Commodities, and in turn, the Fund’s performance. |
In addition, the following disclosure
is added to the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 12 of the Prospectus:
Risk that Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine
May Result in Market Volatility that Could Adversely Affect the Fund’s Performance.
In late February 2022, Russia invaded
Ukraine, significantly amplifying already existing geopolitical tensions among Russia and other countries in the region and in the west, including the U.S. Russia’s invasion, the responses of countries and political bodies to Russia’s
actions, the larger overarching tensions, and Ukraine’s military response and the potential for wider conflict may increase financial market volatility and could have severe adverse effects on regional and global economic markets.
Following Russia’s actions, various countries, including the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany and France, as well as the European
Union, issued broad-ranging economic sanctions against Russia. Such sanctions included, among other things, a prohibition on doing business with certain Russian companies, officials and oligarchs; a commitment by certain countries and the European
Union to remove selected Russian banks from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) electronic banking network that connects banks globally; and restrictive measures to prevent the Russian Central Bank from
undermining the impact of the sanctions. The current sanctions (and potential further sanctions in response to continued Russian military activity) and other actions may have adverse effects on regional and global economic markets, and may result in
increased volatility in the price of Index Commodities, and in turn, the Fund’s performance.
In response to sanctions, the Russian
Central Bank raised its interest rates and banned sales of local securities by foreigners. Russia may take additional counter measures or retaliatory actions in the future which may result in greater volatility in the prices of Index Commodities.
The actions discussed above could have a negative effect on the Fund’s performance. While diplomatic efforts have been ongoing, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is currently unpredictable and has the potential to result in broadened
military actions. The duration of ongoing hostilities and such sanctions and related events cannot be predicted. Uncertainty as to future relations between Russia and the U.S. and other countries in the west, or between Russia and other eastern
European countries, may also have a negative impact on performance and the value of the Fund’s investments.
