GreenHaven Continuous Commodity Index Fund
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2010
March 31, 2010
(1) Organization
The GreenHaven Continuous Commodity Index Fund (the Fund Fund may also refer to the Fund and
the Master Fund, collectively as the context requires) was formed as a Delaware statutory trust on
October 27, 2006, and GreenHaven Continuous Commodity Master Index Fund (the Master Fund), was
formed as a Delaware statutory trust on October 27, 2006. The Fund offers common units of
beneficial interest (the Shares). Upon inception of the Fund, 50 General Units of the Fund were
issued to GreenHaven Commodity Services, LLC (the Managing Owner) in exchange for a capital
contribution of $1,500. The Managing Owner serves the Fund as commodity pool operator, commodity
trading advisor, and managing owner.
Shares are purchased from the Fund only by Authorized Participants in one or more blocks of 50,000
Shares, called a Basket. The proceeds from the offering of Shares are invested in the Master Fund.
The Master Fund actively trades exchange traded futures on the commodities comprising the Thomson
Reuters Continuous Commodity Index (the Index), with a view to tracking the performance of the
Index over time. The Master Funds portfolio also includes United States Treasury securities for
deposit with the Master Funds commodities brokers as margin and other high credit quality short
term fixed income securities. The Fund wholly owns the Master Fund. The Fund and Master Fund
commenced investment operations on January 23, 2008 with the offering of 350,000 Shares in exchange
for $10,500,000. The Fund commenced trading on the American Stock Exchange (now known as the NYSE
Arca) on January 24, 2008 and, as of November 25, 2008, was listed on the NYSE Arca.
The Index is intended to reflect the performance of certain commodities. The commodities comprising
the Index (the Index Commodities) are: Corn, Soybeans, Wheat, Live Cattle, Lean Hogs, Gold,
Silver, Copper, Cocoa, Coffee, Sugar, Cotton, Orange Juice, Platinum, Crude Oil, Heating Oil, and
Natural Gas.
The Managing Owner and the Shareholders share in any profits and losses of the Fund attributable to
the Fund in proportion to the percentage interest owned by each.
The Managing Owner, the Fund and the Master Fund will retain the services of third party service
providers to the extent necessary to operate the ongoing operations of the Fund and the Master Fund
(see Note (2)).

Table of Contents
(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
(b) Cash Held by Broker
The Fund defines cash held by broker to be highly liquid investments, with original maturities of
three months or less when acquired. MS&Co. allows the Fund to apply its Treasury Bill portfolio
towards its initial margin requirement for the Funds futures positions, hence all cash held by
broker is unrestricted cash. The cash and Treasury bill positions are held in segregated accounts
at MS&Co and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
(c) United States Treasury Obligations
The Fund records purchases and sales of United States Treasury Obligations on a trade date basis.
These holdings are marked to market based on quoted market closing prices. The Fund holds United
States Treasury Obligations for deposit with the Master Funds commodity brokers for margin
purposes and to earn additional interest income on the remaining cash balance. Interest income is
recognized on an accrual basis when earned. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over
the life of the United States Treasury Obligations using the interest method.
(d) Income Taxes
The Fund accounts for uncertainty in income taxes pursuant to the applicable accounting standard,
which provides measurement, presentation and disclosure guidance related to uncertain tax
positions. The guidance addresses how tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax
return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this topic, the Fund must recognize
the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax
position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits
of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are
measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being
realized upon ultimate resolution. The Funds reassessment of its tax positions did not have a
material impact on the Funds financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
The Fund and Master Fund are classified as a grantor trust and a partnership respectively, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the Master Fund is subject to U.S.
federal, state, or local income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal, state, and local
income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as investors are
individually liable for income taxes, if any, on their allocable share of the Funds share of the
Master Funds income, gain, loss, deductions and other items.
(e) Futures Contracts
The Fund purchases and holds commodity futures contracts for investment purposes. These contracts
are recorded on a trade date basis and open contracts are valued daily at settlement prices
provided by the relevant exchanges. In the consolidated statement of financial condition, futures
contracts are presented at their published settlement prices on the last business day of the
period, in accordance with the fair value accounting standard. Since these contracts are actively
traded in markets that are directly observable and which provide readily available price quotes,
their market value is deemed to be their fair value under the fair value accounting standard. (see
Note 4 Fair Value Measurements)
However, when market closing prices are not available, the Managing Owner may value an asset of the
Master Fund pursuant to such other principles as the Managing Owner deems fair and equitable so
long as such principles are consistent with the fair value accounting standard. Realized gains
(losses) and changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on open positions are determined on
a specific identification basis and recognized in the consolidated statement of income and expenses
in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur, respectively.
11
Table of Contents
(f) Basis of Presentation & Consolidation
Upon the initial offering of the limited shares of the Fund, 100% of the capital raised by the Fund
was used to purchase common units of beneficial interest of the Master Fund. The financial
statement balances of the Master Fund were consolidated with the Funds financial statement
balances beginning the first reporting period subsequent to the initial offering, and all
significant inter-company balances and transactions were eliminated.
(g) Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
The FASB has issued additional disclosure guidance, clarifying existing disclosure requirements,
about fair value measurements. The additional requirements include disclosure regarding the amounts
and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and
also separate presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of items measured using
significant unobservable inputs (i.e. Level 3). The guidance clarifies existing disclosure
requirements regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for
measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 of the hierarchy. The requirements are
effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for
Level 3 reallocations which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and
for interim periods within that fiscal year. The new disclosures required by this standard are
reflected in Note 4.
(h) Subsequent Events
For purposes of disclosure in the financial statements, the Fund has evaluated events occurring between the end of its first quarter, March 31, 2010 and when the financial statements were issued. Other than the 300,000 Limited Shares created and 100,000 Limited Shares redeemed resulting in 9,750,000 Limited Shares outstanding, this evaluation did not result in any subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments.
For purposes of disclosure in the financial statements, the Fund has evaluated events occurring between the end of its first quarter, March 31, 2010 and when the financial statements were issued. Other than the 300,000 Limited Shares created and 100,000 Limited Shares redeemed resulting in 9,750,000 Limited Shares outstanding, this evaluation did not result in any subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments.
(4) Fair Value Measurements
The guidance for fair value measurements establishes the authoritative definition for fair value,
sets out a framework for measuring fair value and outlines the required disclosures regarding fair
value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The
Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs as
follows:
Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar
securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds own assumptions in
determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk
associated with investing in those securities. The assets of the Fund are either exchange-traded or
government securities that have widely disseminated market prices. A summary of the Funds assets
and liabilities at fair value as of March 31, 2010, classified according to the levels used to
value them, are as follows:

(5) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Fund uses derivative instruments as part of its principal investment strategy to achieve its
investment objective. As of March 31, 2010, the Funds were invested in futures contracts.
At March 31, 2010, the fair value of derivative instruments were as follows:

$ | (2,167,262 | ) | $ | 1,279,329 |
(6) Financial Instrument Risk
In the normal course of its business, the Fund is party to financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk. The term off-balance sheet risk refers to an unrecorded potential liability that,
even though it does not appear on the balance sheet, may result in a future obligation or loss. The
financial instruments used by the Fund are commodity futures, whose values are based upon an
underlying asset and generally represent a commitment to make or take delivery of a commodity at a
future date. At expiration, settlement is typically via physical delivery, though cash settlement
is the norm in some contracts, such as lean hogs. The Fund does not intend to carry long futures
positions to expiration, but will instead roll them to more distant contracts in a manner
consistent with its underlying index, the Thomson Reuters Continuous Commodity Index.
13
Table of Contents
Market risk is the potential for changes in the value of the financial instruments traded by the
Fund due to market changes, including fluctuations in commodity prices. In entering into these
contracts, there exists a market risk that such contracts may be significantly influenced by
conditions, resulting in such contracts being less valuable. If the markets should move against all
of the futures interest positions at the same time, and the Managing Owner was unable to offset
such positions, the Fund could experience substantial losses.
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of an exchange
clearinghouse to perform according to the terms of a contract. Credit risk with respect to
exchange-traded instruments is reduced to the extent that an exchange or clearing organization acts
as counterparty to the transactions. The Funds risk of loss in the event of counterparty default
is typically limited to the amounts recognized in the statement of assets and liabilities and not
represented by the contract or notional amounts of the instruments.
The Fund and the Master Fund have not utilized, nor do they expect to utilize in the future,
special purpose entities to facilitate off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have no loan
guarantee arrangements or off-balance sheet arrangements of any kind other than agreements entered
into in the normal course of business.
(7) Share Purchases and Redemptions
(a) Purchases
Shares may be purchased from the Fund only by certain eligible financial institutions (Authorized
Participants) in one or more blocks of 50,000 Shares, called Baskets. The Fund will issue Shares
in Baskets only to Authorized Participants continuously as of noon, New York time, on the business
day immediately following the date on which a valid order to create a Basket is accepted by the
Fund, at the net asset value of 50,000 Shares as of the closing time of the NYSE Arca or the last
to close of the exchanges on which the Index Commodities are traded, whichever is later, on the
date that a valid order to create a Basket is accepted by the Fund.
(b) Redemptions
On any business day, an Authorized Participant may place an order with the Distributor to redeem
one or more Baskets. Redemption orders must be placed by 10:00 a.m., New York time. The day on
which the Distributor receives a valid redemption order is the redemption order date. The
redemption procedures allow only Authorized Participants to purchase and redeem Baskets. Individual
Shareholders may not redeem Shares directly from the Fund.
By placing a redemption order, an Authorized Participant agrees to deliver the Baskets to be
redeemed through DTCs book-entry system to the Fund no later than noon, New York time, on the
business day immediately following the redemption order date. By placing a redemption order, and
prior to receipt of the redemption distribution, an Authorized Participants DTC account will be
charged the nonrefundable transaction fee due for the redemption order.
The redemption distribution from the Fund consists of the cash redemption amount. The cash
redemption amount is equal to the net asset value of the number of Basket(s) requested in the
Authorized Participants redemption order as of the closing time of the NYSE Arca or the last to
close of the exchanges on which the Index Commodities are traded, whichever is later, on the
redemption order date. The Fund will distribute the cash redemption amount at noon, New York time,
on the business day immediately following the redemption order date through DTC to the account of
the Authorized Participant as recorded on DTCs book entry system.

Table of Contents
The redemption distribution due from the Fund is delivered to the Authorized Participant at noon,
New York time, on the business day immediately following the redemption order date if, by such time
on such business day immediately following the redemption order date, the Funds DTC account has
been credited with the Baskets to be redeemed. If the Funds DTC account has not been credited with
all of the Baskets to be redeemed by such time, the redemption distribution is delivered to the
extent of whole Baskets received.
Any remainder of the redemption distribution is delivered on the next business day to the extent of
remaining whole Baskets received if the Administrator receives the fee applicable to the extension
of the redemption distribution date which the Managing Owner may, from time to time, determine and
the remaining Baskets to be redeemed are credited to the Funds DTC account by noon, New York time,
on such next business day. Any further outstanding amount of the redemption order shall be
canceled. The Administrator is also authorized to deliver the redemption distribution
notwithstanding that the Baskets to be redeemed are not credited to the Funds DTC account by noon,
New York time, on the business day immediately following the redemption order date if the
Authorized Participant has collateralized its obligation to deliver the Baskets through DTCs book
entry system on such terms as the Administrator and the Managing Owner may from time to time agree
upon.
The Distributor may, in its discretion, and will when directed by the Managing Owner, suspend the
right of redemption or postpone the redemption settlement date, (1) for any period during which an
emergency exists as a result of which the redemption distribution is not reasonably practicable, or
(2) for such other period as the Managing Owner determines to be necessary for the protection of
the Shareholders. In addition, the Distributor will reject a redemption order if the order is not
in proper form as described in the Participant Agreement or if the fulfillment of the order, in the
opinion of its counsel, might be unlawful. Any such postponement, suspension or rejection could
adversely affect a redeeming Authorized Participant. For example, the resulting delay may adversely
affect the value of the Authorized Participants redemption proceeds if the net asset value of the
Fund declines during the period of the delay. Under the Distribution Services Agreement, the
Managing Owner and the Distributor may disclaim any liability for any loss or damage that may
result from any such suspension or postponement.
(8) Operating Expenses, Organizational and Offering Costs
(a) Management Fee
The Master Fund pays the Managing Owner a management fee (the Management Fee) monthly in arrears,
in an amount equal to 0.85% per annum of the net asset value of the Master Fund. No separate
management fee will be paid by the Fund. The Management Fee will be paid in consideration of the
use of the license for the Thomson Reuters Continuous Commodity Index held by the Managing Owner, as well
as for commodity futures trading advisory services. The management fee
incurred for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $512,899 and $46,592,
respectively.
(b) Organization and Offering Expenses
Expenses incurred in connection with organizing the Fund and the Master Fund and the offering of
the Shares will be paid by the Managing Owner. The Fund and the Master Fund do not have an obligation to reimburse the Managing Owner or its
affiliates for organization and offering expenses paid on their behalf.
(c) Brokerage Commissions and Fees
The Master Fund pays to the Commodity Broker all brokerage commissions, including applicable
exchange fees, give-up fees, pit brokerage fees and other transaction related fees and expenses
charged in connection with trading activities. On average, total charges paid to the Commodity
Broker are expected to be less than $20 per round-turn trade. A round-turn trade is a buy and sell
pair. The Managing Owner does not expect brokerage commissions and fees to exceed 0.24% of the net
asset value of the Master Fund in any year. Brokerage commissions and fees will be charged against
the Master Funds Assets on a per transaction basis on the date of the transaction. The brokerage
commissions and trading fees incurred for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were
$144,818 and $13,155, respectively. These fees were charged to the Fund and paid to the Commodity
Broker. Brokerage commissions and trading fees are typically charged by the Commodity Broker to the
Fund on a half-turn basis, i.e. half is charged when a contract is opened and half is charged when
a position is closed. Currently, the Fund accrues monthly an amount equal to 0.02% of the net asset
value of the Master Fund to cover these costs.
15
Table of Contents
(d) Extraordinary Fees and Expenses
The Master Fund will pay all the extraordinary fees and expenses, if any, of the Fund and the
Master Fund. Such extraordinary fees and expenses, by their nature, are unpredictable in terms of
timing and amount. There have been no extraordinary fees or expenses since the Fund commenced
investment operations on January 23, 2008.
(e) Routine Operational, Administrative and Other Ordinary Expenses
During the Continuous Offering Period the Managing Owner will pay all of the routine operational,
administrative and other ordinary expenses of the Index Fund and the Master Fund, including, but
not limited to, accounting and computer services, the fees and expenses of the Trustee, legal fees
and expenses, tax preparation expenses, filing fees, fees in connection with fund administration,
and printing, mailing and duplication costs.
(9) Termination
The term of the Fund is perpetual (unless terminated earlier in certain circumstances) as defined
in the Prospectus.
(10) Profit and Loss Allocations and Distributions
The Managing Owner and the Shareholders share in any profits and losses of the Fund attributable to
the Fund in proportion to the percentage interest owned by each. Distributions may be made at the
sole discretion of the Managing Owner on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective capital
balances of the shareholders.
(11) Net Asset Value and Financial Highlights
The Fund is presenting the following net asset value and financial highlights related to investment
performance and operations for a Share outstanding for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010
and 2009. The net investment income and total expense ratios have been annualized. The total return
is based on the change in net asset value of the Shares during the period. An individual investors
return and ratios may vary based on the timing of capital transactions.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview / Introduction
The initial offering period began and ended on January 23, 2008 during which time 350,000 shares
were sold at $30 per share for total proceeds of $10,500,000. The entire proceeds were received by
the Fund which then invested them in the Master Fund. Shares were then listed for trading on the
American Stock Exchange on January 24, 2008, marking the beginning of the continuous offering
period. The ticker symbol of the Fund is GCC.
Performance Summary
There is no performance history prior to the beginning of trading on January 24, 2008. For
performance history subsequent to the beginning of trading, see the Results of Operations section
below.
Net Asset Value
The Administrator calculates a daily Net Asset Value per share of the Fund, based on closing prices
of the underlying futures contracts. The first such calculation was as of market close on January
24, 2008, the first day of trading on the NYSE Arca, formerly the American Stock Exchange. Values
of the underlying Index are computed by Thomson Reuters America, LLC, and disseminated by NYSE Arca
every fifteen (15) seconds during the trading day. Only settlement and last-sale prices are used in
the Indexs calculation, bids and offers are not recognized including limit-bid and limit-offer
price quotes. Where no last-sale price exists, typically in the more deferred contract months, the
previous days settlement price is used. This means that the underlying Index may lag its
theoretical value. This tendency to lag is evident at the end of the day when the Index value is
based on the settlement prices of the component commodities, and explains why the underlying Index
often closes at or near the high or low for the day.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Funds critical accounting policies are as follows:
Preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires the application of appropriate accounting rules and
guidance, as well as the use of estimates, and requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expense and
related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities during the reporting period of the
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Funds application of these policies
involves judgments and actual results may differ from the estimates used.
The Master Fund holds a significant portion of its assets in futures contracts and United States
Treasury Obligations, both of which will be recorded on a trade date basis and at fair value in the
consolidated financial statements, with changes in fair value reported in the consolidated
statement of income and expenses. Generally, fair values are based on quoted market closing prices.
However, when market closing prices are not available, the Managing Owner may value an asset of the
Master Fund pursuant to policies the Managing Owner has adopted, which are consistent with normal
industry standards.
17
Table of Contents
The use of fair value to measure financial instruments, with related unrealized gains or losses
recognized in earnings in each period is fundamental to the Funds financial statements. The fair
value of a financial
instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price).
In determining fair value of United States Treasury Obligations and commodity futures contracts,
the Fund uses unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets. The objective of a fair value
measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit
price). The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets
or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3
measurements). Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of
input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
When market closing prices are not available, the Managing Owner may value an asset of the Master
Fund pursuant to policies the Managing Owner has adopted, which are consistent with normal industry
standards.
Realized gains (losses) and changes in unrealized gain (loss) on open positions are determined on a
specific identification basis and recognized in the consolidated statement of income and expenses
in the period in which the contract is closed or the changes occur, respectively.
Liquidity
The Managing Owner knows of no trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will
result in or that are reasonably likely to result in the Funds liquidity increasing or decreasing
in any material way.
Capital Resources
The Fund had no commitments for capital expenditures as of March 31, 2010. Currently, the Fund
invests only in U.S. Treasury bills and in long positions in exchange-traded commodity futures
contracts. Therefore, it has no expectation of entering into commitments for capital expenditures
at any time in the future.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
As of March 31, 2010 the Fund had no commitments or contractual obligations other than its long
positions in futures contracts as detailed in the included Consolidated Schedule of Investments.
Typically, those positions require the Fund to deposit initial margin funds with its Commodity
Brokers in amounts equal to approximately 10% of the notional value of the contracts. In addition,
the Fund may be required to make additional margin deposits if prices fall for the underlying
commodities. Since the Fund is unleveraged, it holds in reserve the shareholder funds not required
for margin and invests these in U.S. Treasury bills. These funds are available to meet variation
margin calls.
In the normal course of its business, the Fund is party to financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk. The term off-balance sheet risk refers to an unrecorded potential liability that,
even though it does not appear on the balance sheet, may result in a future obligation or loss. The
financial instruments used by the Fund are commodity futures, whose values are based upon an
underlying asset and generally represent future commitments which have a reasonable possibility to
be settled in cash or through physical delivery. The financial instruments are traded on an
exchange and are standardized contracts.
The Fund has not utilized, nor does it expect to utilize in the future, special purpose entities to
facilitate off-balance sheet financing arrangements and has no loan guarantee arrangements or
off-balance sheet arrangements of any kind, The Funds contractual obligations are with the
Managing Owner and the Commodity Broker. Management Fee payments made to the Managing Owner are
calculated as a fixed percentage of the Master Funds net asset value. Commission payments to the
Commodity Broker are on a contract-by-contract, or round-turn, basis. As such, the Managing Owner
cannot anticipate the amount of payments that will be required under these arrangements for future
periods as net asset values are not known until a future date.

The Fund and the Master Fund seek to track changes in the Thomson Reuters Continuous Commodity
Index-Total Return, or the Index, over time. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and three
months ended March 31, 2009, the Funds Net Asset Value outperformed the Index by .21% and .81%,
respectively.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Introduction
The Fund aims to track the Thomson Reuters Continuous Commodity Index, which consists of seventeen
commodities and is rebalanced daily. Due to the rebalancing, the Fund on a given day holds an equal
amount of each of the seventeen index components. Thus, the exposure of the Fund to a given
component remains over time very close to 1/17, or 5.88%. Unless the Index Owner (Thomson Reuters)
changes the construction of the Index, the Fund will maintain the same allocation to the same
commodities. The value of the Shares relates directly to the value of the commodity futures and
other assets held by the Master Fund and fluctuations in the price of these assets could materially
adversely affect an investment in the Shares. The Shares are designed to reflect, as closely as
possible, the performance of the Index through the Master Funds portfolio of exchange-traded
futures on the Index Commodities. The value of the Shares relate directly to the value of the
portfolio, less the liabilities (including estimated accrued but unpaid expenses) of the Fund and
the Master Fund. The price of the Index Commodities may fluctuate widely based on many factors.
Some of those factors are:
| changing supply and demand relationships; | ||
| general economic activities and conditions; | ||
| weather and other environmental conditions; | ||
| acts of God; | ||
| agricultural, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and policies of governments; | ||
| national and international political and economic events and policies; | ||
| changes in rates of inflation; or | ||
| the general emotions and psychology of the marketplace, which at times can be volatile and unrelated to other more tangible factors. |
In addition to the factors set forth above, each commodity has risks that are inherent in the
investment in such commodity.
Metals Commodities: Price movements in futures contracts held by the Master Fund in metals
commodities such as gold, silver, platinum and copper are affected by many specific factors. Some
of these metal specific factors include, but are not limited to:
| A change in economic conditions, such as a recession, can adversely affect the price of both industrial and precious metals. An economic downturn may have a negative impact on the usage and demand of metals which may result in a loss for the Master Fund. | ||
| A sudden shift in political conditions of the worlds leading metal producers may have a negative effect on the global pricing of metals. | ||
| An increase in the hedging of precious metals may result in the price of precious metals to decline. | ||
| Changes in global supply and demand for industrial and precious metals. | ||
| The price and quantity of imports and exports of industrial and precious metals. | ||
| Technological advances in the processing and mining of industrial and precious metals. |
Agricultural Commodities: Price movements in futures contracts held by the Master Fund in
agricultural commodities, such as wheat, corn and soybeans, are affected by many factors. Some of
these agricultural specific factors include, but are not limited to:
| Farmer planting decisions, general economic, market and regulatory factors. | ||
| Weather conditions, including hurricanes, tornadoes, storms and droughts, may have a material adverse effect on crops, live cattle, live hogs and lumber, which may result in significant fluctuations in prices in such commodities. |
21
Table of Contents
| Changes in global supply and demand for agricultural products. | ||
| The price and quantity of imports and exports of agricultural commodities. | ||
| Political conditions, including embargoes and war, in or affecting agricultural production, imports and exports. | ||
| Technological advances in agricultural production. | ||
| The price and availability of alternative agricultural commodities. |
Energy Commodities: Price movements in futures contracts held by the Master Fund in energy
commodities, such as crude oil, heating oil and natural gas, are subject to risks due to frequent
and often substantial fluctuations in energy commodity prices. In the past, the prices of natural
gas and crude oil have been extremely volatile, and the Managing Owner expects this volatility to
continue. The markets and prices for energy commodities are affected by many factors. Some of those
factors include, but are not limited to:
| Changes in global supply and demand for oil and natural gas. | ||
| The price and quantity of imports and exports of oil and natural gas. | ||
| Political conditions, including embargoes and war, in or affecting other oil producing activities. | ||
| The level of global oil and natural gas exploration and production. | ||
| The level of global oil and natural gas inventories, production or pricing. | ||
| Weather conditions. | ||
| Technological advances effecting energy consumption. | ||
| The price and availability of alternative fuels. |
None of these factors can be controlled by the Managing Owner. Even if current and correct
information as to substantially all factors are known or thought to be known, prices still will not
always react as predicted. The profitability of the Fund and the Master Fund will depend on whether
the Master Funds commodities portfolio increases in value over time. If the value increases, the
Fund will only be profitable if such
increases exceed the fees and expenses of the Fund. If these values do not increase, the Fund will
not be profitable and will incur losses.
Quantitative Forward-looking Statements
Quantifying the Funds Trading Risk
The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Funds risk exposures except for those
disclosures that are statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act.
The Funds primary market risk exposures are subject to numerous uncertainties, contingencies and
risks. Government interventions, defaults and expropriations, illiquid markets, the emergence of
dominant fundamental factors, political upheavals, changes in historical price relationships, an
influx of new market participants, increased regulation and many other factors could result in
material losses as well as in material changes to the risk exposures of the Fund. There can be no
assurance that the Funds current market exposure will not change materially. Investors may lose
all or substantially all of their investment in the Fund.

Non-Trading Risk
The Fund invests its excess funds in short-term U.S. Treasury bills. These instruments are not
interest-bearing and therefore trade at a discount to their value at maturity. The Fund expects
that the market risk of holding these investments is not material.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Non-Trading Risk Exposures
The Fund is unaware of any (i) anticipated known demands, commitments or capital expenditures; (ii)
material trends, favorable or unfavorable, in its capital resources; or (iii) trends or
uncertainties that will have a material effect on operations.
Qualitative Disclosures Regarding Means of Managing Risk Exposure
Under ordinary circumstances, the Managing Owners discretionary power is limited to determining
whether the Fund will make a distribution. Under emergency or extraordinary circumstances, the
Managing Owners discretionary powers increase, but remain circumscribed. These special
circumstances, for example, include the unavailability of the Index or certain natural or man-made
disasters. The Managing Owner does not apply risk management techniques. The Fund initiates
positions only on the long side of the market and does not employ stop-loss techniques.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure controls and procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the management of the Managing Owner, including
its chief executive officer and principal financial officer, the Fund carried out an evaluation of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the chief
executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Funds disclosure controls and
procedures with respect to the Fund were effective as of the end of the period covered by this
report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Fund commenced trading on January 24, 2008 and began to exercise its internal control over
financial reporting thereafter. The Funds investing activity is limited to the purchase and sale
of commodity futures contracts and of short-term U.S. Treasury bills. Futures transactions are made
through Morgan Stanley, the Commodity Broker, which provides the Fund with statements on a daily
basis. Bank of New York, the Funds Custodian, reconciles the reports from Morgan Stanley with its
own records of Fund transactions. In addition, the Managing Owner each day reconciles its own
records with those of Morgan Stanley and Bank of New York.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Fund made no changes to its internal control over
financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its
internal control over financial reporting.
