In addition, an FCM may impose margin requirements in addition to those imposed by the
clearinghouse. Margin requirements are subject to change on any given day, and may be raised in the future on a single day or on multiple or successive days by either or both of the clearinghouse and the FCM. High margin requirements could prevent
the Fund from obtaining sufficient exposure to futures contracts and may adversely affect the Funds ability to achieve its investment objective. An FCMs failure to return required margin to the Fund on a timely basis may cause the Fund
to delay redemption settlement dates or restrict, postpone, or limit the right of redemption.
Futures contracts are subject to liquidity
risk. An FCM may impose risk limits on the Fund, which restrict the amount of exposure to futures contracts that the Fund can obtain through the FCM. If the risk limits imposed by an FCM do not provide sufficient exposure, the Fund may not be able
to achieve its investment objective.
Furthermore, effective immediately, the following disclosure is added after the first full paragraph in the risk
factor titled There May Be Circumstances That Could Prevent the Fund from Being Operated in a Manner Consistent with its Investment Objective on page 23 of the section of the Prospectus titled Risk FactorsOther Risks.
Additionally, natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and other severe
weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics, have been and may be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely impacting individual companies, sectors, industries, markets, currencies,
interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Funds investments. Given the increasing interdependence among global economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or
region are increasingly likely to adversely affect markets, issuers, and/or foreign exchange rates in other countries, including the U.S. Any such events could have a significant adverse impact on the value of the Funds investments and could
result in increased premiums or discounts to the Funds NAV. Additionally, the Fund rebalances its portfolio in accordance with the Index, and, therefore, any changes to the Indexs rebalance schedule will result in corresponding changes
to the Funds rebalance schedule.
Finally, effective immediately, the following risk factor is added to the section of the Prospectus titled
Risk FactorsOther Risks after the last paragraph on page 26.
Risk that the Fund Will Experience Losses As a
Result of Global Economic Shocks
In March 2020, U.S. equity markets entered a bear market in the fastest such move in the history
of U.S. financial markets. Although oil prices rallied during 2019 with higher prices supported by continued compliance with OPEC+ production cuts, US sanctions against Venezuela and Iran, and tension in the Gulf region, prices fell to an 18-year low in March 2020. Contemporaneous with the onset of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the US, oil experienced shocks to supply and demand, impacting the
price and volatility of oil. The global economic shocks being experienced as of the date hereof may cause significant losses to the Fund.
