| The investment seeks to replicate, net of expenses, the performance of the Barclays Capital US Treasury 2Y/10Y Yield Curve index. The index employs a strategy that seeks to capture returns that are potentially available from a "steepening" or "flattening", as applicable, of the U.S. Treasury yield curve through a notional rolling investment in U.S. Treasury note futures contracts. The level of the index is designed to increase in response to a "steepening" of the yield curve and to decrease in response to a "flattening" of the yield curve. |
