Fund Overview
The investment seeks maximum real return, consistent with prudent investment management. The fund invests normally in commodity-linked derivative instruments backed by a portfolio of inflation-indexed securities and other fixed income instruments. Rather than invest directly in physical commodities, it employs an enhanced index strategy. The commodity-linked derivative instruments in which the fund primarily invests are linked to the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Total ReturnSM (the "Commodity Index"). The average portfolio duration of the fixed income portion of the fund is not expected to exceed ten years. It is non-diversified.
