IQ Commodity Rotation Index

The IQ Commodity Rotation Index seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation through exposure, on a rotating basis, to various commodities as represented by commodity ETFs. The strategy's approach is based on a price momentum, rules-based methodology that rotates through commodity ETFs in a manner designed to enhance the risk-adjusted returns of the portfolio. The portfolio is always 100% invested in commodities and seeks to achieve all of its performance through commodity rotation. The product has a low correlation to the S&P 500 and is a powerful addition to an asset allocation platform.

The performance data quoted above represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Performance may be lower or higher than performance data quoted. Index performance is for illustrative purposes only. One cannot invest directly in an index. Index performance information prior to its publication date of December 31, 2007 is based on a hypothetical back test based on calculations of what would have been the exposure and returns of the Index had it existed at that time, which has inherent limitations. Performance data for the Index assumes reinvestment of dividends, but it does not reflect management fees, transaction costs or other expenses that you would pay if you invested in a fund directly. The DJ-AIG Commodity Index is composed of futures contracts on physical commodities traded on U.S. exchanges, with the exception of aluminum, nickel and zinc, which trade on the London Metal Exchange (LME) (performance data represent total returns, but it does not reflect management fees, transaction costs or other expenses). The Index is the exclusive property of IndexIQ which has contracted with Standard & Poor's ("S&P") to maintain and calculate the Index. S&P shall have no liability for any errors or omissions in calculating the Index.
