The pattern of higher futures prices for longer expiration futures contracts is often referred to as “contango.” The pattern of
higher futures prices for shorter expiration futures contracts is referred to as “backwardation.” The presence of contango in
certain commodity futures contracts or financial futures contracts at the time of rolling would be expected to adversely affect
long positions held by the Underlying ETF and positively affect short positions held by the Underlying ETF. The presence of
backwardation would be expected to adversely affect short positions and positively affect long positions.
The Underlying ETF is not an index tracking ETF and will seek to enhance its performance by actively selecting investments
with varying maturities from the underlying components of the Benchmark. If such strategy fails to produce the intended results,
the Underlying ETF could underperform the Benchmark or other funds with a similar investment objective and/or strategies.
The Fund will not invest directly in Commodity Futures Contracts. The Fund expects to gain exposure to these investments by
investing a portion of its assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the
“Subsidiary).
The Subsidiary is not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
The sentences “One of the other exchange-traded funds is a publicly traded commodity pool that is sponsored by ProShare Capital
Management LLC, an affiliate of ProShare Advisors. The commodity pool is not a mutual fund or any other type of investment
company as defined in the 1940 Act, and is not subject to regulation thereunder.” is removed from the Fund’s Statement of Additional
