Summary

The investment seeks to protect against depreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies. The fund normally seeks its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets in investments that create exposure to currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The adviser expects to gain exposure to non-dollar currencies primarily through positions in monthly or other short-dated forward currency contracts or other derivative instruments backed by holdings of U.S. Treasury bills and other short-term U.S. government obligations. The fund may have concentrated exposures to a particular geographic region or related group of currencies.
