Commodity Catalysts – ALPS Portfolio Solutions – 2.5.18

Summary:

Now On Demand.

Underinvestment in commodities in recent years coupled with synchronized global growth, low unemployment and rising interest rates have created a favorable environment for commodity prices to rise. With the U.S. dollar trading at 3-year lows, inflation expectations at 3-year highs, and most risk assets trading at or near their peak, commodities may represent a significant value opportunity in today’s market.

For nearly a decade, Core Commodity Management has been advising some of largest investors in the world on how to allocate to this sector.

Please join us for an educational webcast where the team from Core Commodity Management and ALPS Advisors will discuss the following:

  • Relative Valuation for Commodities
  • Catalysts for Growth in the Sector
  • Strategies for Implementing Commodities in a Portfolio

Important Disclosures & Definitions Investors should consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing, including “Additional Risks” as described in the prospectus. To obtain a prospectus, which contains this and other information, call 1.866.759.5679 or visit www.alpsfunds.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing. ALPS Advisors, Inc. and CoreCommodity Management, LLC are registered with the CFTC as the Commodity Pool Operator and respectively as the Commodity Trading Advisor and both are NFA members. The Fund’s investments may subject the Fund to significantly greater volatility than investments in traditional securities and involve substantial risks, including risk of a significant portion on their principal value. The commodities markets and the prices of various commodities may fluctuate widely based on a variety of factors. Because the Fund’s performance is linked to the performance of highly volatile commodities, investors should consider purchasing shares of the Fund only as part of an overall diversified portfolio and should be willing to assume the risks of potentially significant fluctuations in the value of the Fund. The Fund invests in commodity futures related investments, which are derivative instruments that allow access to a diversified portfolio of commodities without committing substantial amounts of capital. Additional risks of Commodity Futures Related Investments include liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Counterparty Risk is the risk that a party to a transaction will fail to fulfill its obligations. The term is often applied specifically to swap agreements in which no clearinghouse guarantees the performance of the contract. Liquidity Risk is the risk stemming from the lack of marketability of an investment that cannot be bought or sold quickly enough to prevent or minimize a loss. Another principal risk of investing in the Fund is equity risk, which is the risk that the value of the securities held by the Fund will fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries in which the issuers of securities held by the Fund participate or factors relating to specific companies in which the Fund invests. The Fund’s investments in non-U.S. issuers may be even more volatile and may present more risks than investments in U.S. issuers. Equity investments in commodity-related companies may not move in the same direction and to the same extent as the underlying commodities.
