Strategy
The Fund seeks to track changes, positive or negative, in the level of the DBIQ Diversified Agriculture Index Excess Return over time, plus income from Treasury Obligations, money market mutual funds and T-Bill ETFs, less expenses. It attempts to gain exposure to Index Commodities by investing in futures contracts, and may invest in other futures contracts if position limits are approached or reached, if the market for an Index Contract is thinly traded or inefficient, or if it is impractical to gain exposure through Index Contracts. The Managing Owner may select correlated futures contracts when those contracts are not based on an Index Commodity. The Managing Owner has licensed the Index from Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. and pays licensing and index services fees out of the Management Fee, not charged to or reimbursed by the Fund. The Fund offers Shares only to Authorized Participants in Creation Units of 50,000 Shares.
Risks
- Commodity price risk — The Fund's market risk is primarily influenced by changes in commodity prices, and market movements can produce frequent changes in the fair value of open positions, earnings and cash flow.
- Tracking and basis risk — The Fund seeks to track the Index, but may invest in other futures contracts when position limits are reached or Index Contracts are thinly traded or impractical, which may cause performance to diverge from the Index.
- Risk of ruin beyond VaR — VaR is a statistical measure at a 99% confidence level, and the inherent uncertainty of markets and recurrence of moves far exceeding expectations could result in actual trading or non-trading losses far beyond indicated VaR.
- Non-trading market risk — The Fund has non-trading market risk from short-term U.S. Treasury Obligations, T-Bill ETFs and money market mutual funds, though this risk is not expected to be material.
Outlook
Management's quantitative disclosures are forward-looking statements and the Fund states that its primary market risk exposures are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and risks. The Fund notes that government interventions, defaults, expropriations, illiquid markets, political upheavals, changes in historical price relationships, an influx of new market participants and increased regulation could result in material losses. No material estimates involving significant estimation uncertainty were used in preparing the financial statements.
