Historical Performance Disclaimer: The historical performance included in this document is based on backtesting, i.e. calculations of how the index might have performed in the past if it had existed. The relevant DJ-UBSCI-F3SM (formerly known as the Dow Jones - AIG Commodity Index 3 Month ForwardSM) was not published prior to September 2007 although it is constructed in a manner similar to the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index "DJ-UBSCISM", which was first launched in 1998. The DJ-UBSCI-F3SM is priced off different contracts compared to the DJ-UBSCISM and thus the performance of both could vary significantly.
