Investment objective & strategy
As of Feb. 27, 2026 · prospectusObjective. The Fund seeks to maximize real returns, consistent with prudent investment management.
Strategy. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, directly or indirectly in a combination of equity securities of natural resource companies, otherwise described in this Prospectus as commodity-related equity securities (Commodity Equity Investments) and commodity futures-linked derivative instruments (described more fully below and referred to in this prospectus as Commodity Investments) and thereby obtaining exposure to the commodity markets. CompleteCommodities , as developed by CoreCommodity Management, LLC (the Sub-Adviser), is an investment approach that actively combines Commodity Investments and Commodity Equity Investments. ?

CompleteCommodities , as developed by CoreCommodity Management, LLC (the Sub-Adviser), is an investment approach that actively combines Commodity Investments and Commodity Equity Investments. ? Commodity Investments are investments in commodity futures contracts, commodity swaps, options on commodity futures, and commodity-linked notes. ? Commodity Equity Investments are generally investments in affiliated exchange traded funds (each, an underlying ETF), expected to consist of ETFs sub-advised by the Sub-Adviser. While the Sub-Adviser intends for the Fund to gain exposure to Commodity Equity Investments through the use of such underlying ETFs, primarily the ALPS | CoreCommodity Natural Resources ETF, the Fund may also directly invest in companies across all market capitalizations primarily engaged in the production and distribution of commodities and commodity-related products. With respect to the Commodity Equity Investments portion of its portfolio, the Fund seeks to invest, primarily through underlying ETFs, in a global universe of listed companies engaged in the production and distribution of commodities and commodity-related products and services in the energy, agriculture, base metals and minerals, and precious metals and minerals sectors. The Sub-Adviser utilizes both quantitative and fundamental analyses for selecting securities for inclusion in the portfolio. The Fund may also from time to time purchase or sell common stock, preferred stock, and ETFs. With respect to the Commodity Investments portion of its portfolio, the Fund seeks to gain exposure to the commodity markets through the use of Commodity Investments. Commodity Investments in which the Fund may invest, either directly and/or indirectly through a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the Subsidiary), include, but are not limited to, commodity futures contracts, commodity swaps, options on commodity futures and commodity-linked notes. The Fund may also from time to time invest in ETFs. The Fund expects to gain exposure to the commodities market indirectly by investing up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary, which is designed to enhance the ability of the Fund to obtain exposure to the commodities market through Commodity Investments consistent with the limits of the U.S. federal tax law requirements applicable to registered investment companies. The Subsidiary has the same investment objective and is subject to substantially the same investment policies and investment restrictions as the Fund, except that the Subsidiary (unlike the Fund) will not invest in equity securities and may invest without limitation in commodity swaps, commodity futures, options on commodity futures and commodity-linked notes. The Fund and the Subsidiary are advised by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The term Subsidiary includes entities that engage in investment activities in securities or other assets that are primarily controlled by the Company. The Fund will comply with the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 Act, as amended (the 1940 Act) on an aggregate basis with the Subsidiary. For example, the Fund will treat a Subsidiarys assets as assets of the Fund for purposes of determining compliance with various provisions of the 1940 Act applicable to the Fund, including those relating to investment policies for purposes of Section 8, capital structure and leverage so that the Fund treats the debt of the Subsidiary as its own for purposes of Sections 18 and 61, and affiliated transactions and custody for purposes of Sections 17 and 57. The Fund generally expects to consolidate the Subsidiary for purposes of the Funds financial statements and compliance with the 1940 Act. The Adviser to the Subsidiary complies with the provisions of Section 15 of the 1940 Act as an investment adviser to the Fund, as defined in Section 2(a)(20) of the 1940 Act. The Subsidiary and its board agree to designate an agent for service of process in the United States. The Subsidiarys custodian is State Street Corporation. The Fund and/or the Subsidiary may invest without limit in investment grade fixed-income securities of varying maturities, including U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS), other U.S. and foreign government securities, corporate bonds and notes, and affiliated and unaffiliated money market funds, to collateralize its Commodity Investments and other derivative exposure on a day-to-day basis. The Sub-Adviser will use its discretion to determine the percentage of the Funds assets allocated to each of the Commodity Equity Investments and Commodity Investments portions of the Funds portfolio based on a determination of the relative value of the commodity futures versus commodity-related equity markets. Generally, at least 20% of the Funds investments, either directly or indirectly through the Subsidiary, will be allocated to each respective portion of the portfolio; provided, however, that at times the Sub-Adviser may choose to lower this minimum exposure level and give greater emphasis to Commodity Equity Investments or Commodity Investments, as the case may be, based on market events, absolute and relative market movements, economic events and trends.
