Risks
Potential risks of investing in commodities:
- Past performance is no guarantee or indicator of future results.
- Speculative nature of commodities investments. Investing in commodities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. There is no assurance that technical and risk management techniques, as well as the investment decisions made by the investment manager, will not expose investors to risk of significant losses.
- Market-driven risk could negatively affect the value of a particular investment.
- Credit risk may occur if a counterparty defaults or is unable to honor a financial obligation.
- Commodity-linked derivatives may be subject to greater volatility than traditional securities.
