GreenHaven Continuous Commodity Index Master Fund
March 31, 2012
(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 Index Master 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 Fund’s portfolio also includes United States Treasury securities for deposit with the Master Fund’s commodity broker 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.

(e) “The Distributor” — The Managing Owner, on behalf of the Fund and the Master Fund, has appointed ALPS Distributors, Inc., or the Distributor, to assist the Managing Owner and the Administrator with certain functions and duties relating to the creation and redemption of Baskets, including receiving and processing orders from Authorized Participants to create and redeem Baskets, coordinating the processing of such orders and related functions and duties. The Distributor retains all marketing materials and Basket creation and redemption books and records at c/o ALPS Distributors, Inc., 1290 Broadway, Suite 1100, Denver, CO 80203; Telephone number (303) 623-2577. Investors may contact the Distributor toll-free in the U.S. at (800) 320-2577. The Fund has entered into a Distribution Services Agreement with the Distributor.

(f) “Authorized Participant” — Authorized Participants may create or redeem shares of the Master Fund. Each Authorized Participant must (1) be a registered broker-dealer or other securities market participant such as a bank or other financial institution which is not required to register as a broker-dealer to engage in securities transactions, (2) be a participant in the Depository Trust Company, or DTC, and (3) have entered into an agreement (“Participant Agreement”) with the Fund and the Managing Owner. The Participant Agreement sets forth the procedures for the creation and redemption of Baskets of Shares and for the delivery of cash required for such creations or redemptions. A list of the current Authorized Participants can be obtained from the Administrator. A similar agreement between the Fund and the Master Fund sets forth the procedures for the creation and redemption of Master Unit Baskets by the Fund.
(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, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the amounts of reported income and expenses. 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 Fund’s 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 Master 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 Master Fund holds United States Treasury Obligations for deposit with the Master Fund’s commodity broker as margin for trading and holding against initial margin of the open futures contracts. 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.
(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 may 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 Fund’s reassessment of its tax positions did not have a material impact on the Fund’s 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 Fund’s share of the Master Fund’s income, gain, loss, deductions and other items.
(e) Futures Contracts
The Master 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 accord 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.
(f) Basis of Presentation & Consolidation
100% of the capital raised by the Fund is used to purchase common units of beneficial interest of the Master Fund. The financial statement balances of the Master Fund are consolidated with the Fund’s financial statement balances and all significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated. Separate financial statements of the Master Fund are presented to comply with SEC reporting requirements as the Master Fund is a separate SEC registrant.
(g) Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Fund is required to follow recent disclosure guidance which includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value. The new guidance requires reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, the guidance requires reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The disclosures required by this guidance are reflected in Note (4).
In December 2011, additional disclosure guidance was issued requiring financial statements prepared under principles generally accepted in the United States of America to be more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. The new disclosure requirements mandate that entities disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of assets and liabilities as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements is required. New disclosures are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Management is evaluating the impact of this additional disclosure guidance on the financial statements and disclosures.
(h) Subsequent Events
For purposes of disclosure in the financial statements, the Fund has evaluated events occurring between the period ended, March 31, 2012 and when the financial statements were issued.
During that period, 0 Limited Shares were created and 1,750,000 Limited Shares were redeemed resulting in 19,500,000 Limited Shares outstanding.
Other than these events, the evaluation did not result in any subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments.
(4) Fair Value Measurements
The existing 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 (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 — unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
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 securities or government securities that are valued using dealer and broker quotations or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. A summary of the Fund’s assets and liabilities at fair value as of March 31, 2012, classified according to the levels used to value them, are as follows:

(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 future commitments to have a reasonable possibility to be settled in cash or through physical delivery. These instruments are traded on an exchange and are standardized contracts.
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 Fund’s 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
The “purchase and” redemption procedures allow only Authorized Participants to purchase and redeem Baskets. Individual Shareholders may not purchase or redeem Shares directly from the Fund.
(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.
By placing a redemption order, an Authorized Participant agrees to deliver the Baskets to be redeemed through DTC’s book-entry system to the Fund not 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 Participant’s DTC account will be charged the non-refundable 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 Participant’s 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 DTC’s book entry system.
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 Fund’s DTC account has been credited with the Baskets to be redeemed. If the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 DTC’s 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 Participant’s 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 is paid by the Fund. The Management Fee is 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 fees incurred for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $1,328,067 and $1,356,513, respectively. The Management Fees were charged to the Fund and paid to the Managing Owner.
(b) Organization and Offering Expenses
Expenses incurred in connection with organizing the Fund and the Master Fund and the offering of the Shares were paid by the Managing Owner.
(c) Brokerage Commissions and Fees
The Managing Owner currently does not expect brokerage commissions and fees as well as routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses for which the Funds are responsible, including, but not limited to, the fees and expenses of the Trustee, legal and accounting fees and expenses, tax preparation expenses, filing fees, and printing, mailing and duplication costs, to exceed 0.20% of the net asset value of the Master Fund in any year, although the actual amount of such fees and expenses in any year may be greater. The Fund’s brokerage commissions and fees and routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses are accrued at a rate of 0.20% per annum in the aggregate. Of the amounts so accrued, the Master Fund first pays brokerage fees, and secondly from the remainder of the amounts so accrued, reimburses the Managing Owner for the Fund’s and Master Fund’s routine operational, administrative, and other ordinary expenses paid by the Managing Owner. Such amounts reimbursed are reflected in the expenses paid in the Statement of Income and Expenses.
Brokerage commissions and fees are charged against the Master Fund’s Assets on a per transaction basis on the date of the transaction. The brokerage commissions and trading fees accrued for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $70,914 and $383,015, 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.
(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 paid 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. The Managing Owner may be reimbursed for routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses. See Note 8 (c) for details of the Fund’s brokerage commissions and fees and routine operational, administrative and other ordinary expenses accrual policy.
(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 period ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. 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 investor’s return and ratios may vary based on the timing of capital transactions.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
|
Overview / Introduction
The initial offering period for the GreenHaven Continuous Commodity Index Fund (the “Fund”) 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. On November 24, 2008 the Fund de-listed from the American Stock Exchange and on November 25, 2008 the Fund listed on NYSE Arca. 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 Index’s 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 are 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.
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 Fund’s 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).
The Fund values United States Treasury Obligations using broker and dealer quotations. The Fund values commodity futures contracts using the quotations from the futures exchanges where the futures contracts are traded. 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 Fund’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.
Capital Resources
The Fund had no commitments for capital expenditures as of March 31, 2012. 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 near future.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
As of March 31, 2012 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 not leveraged, 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 future 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, 2012 and March 31, 2011, the Fund’s Net Asset Value outperformed the Index by 0.44% and 0.40%, respectively.
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 Fund’s 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 world’s 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.
|
|
•
|
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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s Trading Risk
The following qualitative disclosures regarding the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 coupon-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 Owner’s discretionary power is limited to determining whether the Fund will make a distribution. Under emergency or extraordinary circumstances, the Managing Owner’s 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.
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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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. The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, the Fund’s 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 the Bank of New York Mellon Corporation.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, 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.
