Conflicts of interest exist in the structure and operation of the Trust and each Fund. The purchase of Units by the Managing Owner or its members or their affiliates may create conflicts of interest for them. Neither the Trust nor any Fund has an operating history, and you have no performance information on which to evaluate an investment in a Fund. Each Fund will be charged fees and expenses regardless of profitability, which may result in a depletion of assets. The Trust and Funds may receive less favorable terms upon renewing existing or entering into new contractual relationships. You will be limited in your ability to transfer or redeem Units. You have limited rights, and you cannot prevent the Trust or any Fund from taking actions which could cause losses. An unanticipated number of redemption requests during a short period of time could have an adverse effect on the net asset value of a Fund. A Redemption may be delayed if the settlement price is unavailable on the date of the net asset value calculation, or in certain instances the redemption price might not precisely reflect the net asset value of a Fund. You will have less diversification and therefore be taking more risk by investing in a Fund other than the Core Funds. The Managing Owner will, and affiliates of the Managing Owner may, purchase Units to satisfy the subscription minimum. Unforeseen circumstances may have an adverse effect on your investment. The parent companies of the Managing Owner are not legally obligated to provide financial support for the Managing Owner. The Trust or a specific Fund could terminate before you achieve your investment objective, thereby causing potential loss of your investment or upsetting your investment portfolio. The Trust is not a regulated investment company and thus is subject to different protections than a regulated investment company. The Trust does not have a board of directors, or any operating committees of the board. The Managing Owner, which does not have any independent managers, manages the business and affairs of the Trust. Litigation could result in substantial additional expenses. The Managing Owner relies heavily on its key personnel to manage the Trust and each Fund, and the loss of such personnel could adversely affect the Trust or any Fund. Each Fund will have potential indemnification obligations. Limited owners will not be entitled to participate in management of the Trust or the Funds. Limited owners will be limited in their ability to remove the Managing Owner. Obligations incurred by a broker on behalf of the Fund which the broker is incapable of satisfying from the assets of the Fund may result in liability to the Fund, and failing that, liability to the limited owners. Limited owners may incur additional liability because of the ambiguity of the Delaware trust statute respecting liability among several funds. RISKS RELATED TO COMMODITY TRADING AND MARKETS You may lose some or all of your investment if commodity futures and forward prices, which are highly unpredictable and volatile, decrease. The Brookshire International Raw Materials Index and the indices derived from the BIRMI are likely to be volatile and could suffer from periods of prolonged decline in value. A Fund will not always be able to replicate exactly the performance of its corresponding index. The BIRMI and the BRMXL are heavily weighted in certain commodities. The BRMEN will be comprised only of energy oriented commodities. The BRMAG will be comprised only of agricultural oriented commodities. The BRMME will be comprised only of metal oriented commodities. The Accelerated Core Funds will utilize a substantial amount of leverage, and such leverage may increase the risk of losses. Investors who purchase CDN denominated Units will bear the currency fluctuation risk associated with an investment in the Canadian dollar. Over-the-counter transactions are subject to little, if any, regulation and may be subject to the risk of counterparty default. The failure or bankruptcy of an FCM could result in a substantial loss of one or more of the Funds assets. Futures and forward trading may be illiquid and it may be difficult to liquidate a position, which may result in large losses. The Funds may be subject to restrictions on investment activities due to speculative position limits. Speculative position limits on certain commodity futures contracts in the United States may lead the Funds to enter into commodity forward contracts and, in each case, increase a Fund s performance deviation from the applicable index. Commodity futures exchange trading limits may force trading instructions to be modified. A Fund may become leveraged prior to the re-balancing of the Fund, which is the date (approximately once a month) that the commodities within each Fund are re-aligned to their allocated weights within the applicable index, to the extent reasonably possible, by notionally buying or selling futures or forward contracts, as appropriate. Futures contracts rely on the operation of exchanges and clearinghouses. The CFTC regulations do not apply to trades placed on foreign exchanges and in forward markets and thus there is less protection for limited owners for those trades. Other risks are entailed in such trading as well. An absence of Backwardation in the prices of Light, Sweet Crude or Heating Oil, or an absence of Contango in the prices of Aluminum, Gold, Corn or Wheat, may decrease the price of your Units. An investment in a Fund is not suitable for investors seeking current income. Other investors replicating the indices may increase competition for its component commodities contracts. The continued publication of the indices cannot be assured. The net asset value calculation of a Fund may be overstated or understated due to the valuation method employed when a settlement price is not available on the date of net asset value calculation. Regulation of certain commodity futures contract markets is extensive and regulation of commodity futures and forward contract markets is constantly changing; future regulatory developments are impossible to predict, but could significantly and adversely affect the Trust and one or more Funds.
