Fund Focuses on Cryptoassets and Precious Metals with Associated Risks

News Image for Fund Focuses on Cryptoassets and Precious Metals with Associated Risks
AI-Generated Summary

The Fund will invest 80% of its assets in cryptoassets and precious metals, with significant risks including counterparty, derivatives, options, and management risk.

The Fund does not invest directly in or hold bitcoin or ether.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets (including any amount of borrowings) in cryptoassets and precious metals through its investments in derivatives that have either bitcoin, ether, gold or silver as their reference asset.

Cryptocurrency Risk: The market for bitcoin and ether futures may be less developed, and potentially less liquid and more volatile, than more established futures markets. While the bitcoin futures market has grown substantially since bitcoin and ether futures commenced trading, there can be no assurance that this growth will continue.

Counterparty Risk: Counterparty risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial instrument held by the Fund or by a special purpose or structured vehicle invested in by the Fund may become insolvent or otherwise fail to perform its obligations, and the Fund may obtain no or limited recovery of its investment, and any recovery may be significantly delayed.

Derivatives Risk: Futures and swaps involve risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfil its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index.

Futures Risk: The risk of loss in trading commodity interests can be substantial. Please carefully consider whether such trading is suitable in light of your financial condition.

Swaps Risk: Swaps are subject to tracking risk because they may not be perfect substitutes for the instruments they are intended to replace. Over the counter swaps are subject to counterparty default. Leverage inherent in swap contracts will tend to magnify the Fund's losses.

Options Risk: There are risks associated with the purchase of call and put options. As the buyer of a put or call option, the Fund risks losing the entire premium invested in the option if the Fund does not exercise the option. Purchased options may decline in value due to changes in the price of the underlying security, passage of time, and changes in volatility.

Precious Metals Risk: The Fund will be sensitive to changes in, and its performance will depend to a greater extent on, the prices of precious metals. These prices may fluctuate substantially over short periods of time, so the Fund's share price may be more volatile than other types of investments.

Management Risk: Each of the Adviser's and Sub-Adviser's dependence on its judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of Underlying Funds and derivatives in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect and may not produce the desired results.
