This was what it says it Oppenheimer's web site:

I have a problem on the last paragraph on 'Special Risk'. It says it deals in "derivative instruments".

Good Luck! You'll need it.

-------------------------------

Strategy 1
A Unique Investment Opportunity - The Fund is the first of its kind - providing retail investors with exposure to commodities. Through investments in securities whose value is linked to the commodity markets, investors receive full dollar-for-dollar exposure to this asset class.

Broader Diversification - Commodities may help protect your portfolio against volatility in the financial markets. That's because tangible goods, such as agriculture or petroleum, are impacted by different factors than stocks or bonds, especially in difficult markets.

A Hedge Against Inflation - Typically, when inflation rises, the cost of producing goods or borrowing funds increases, negatively impacting stock or bond investments. Commodities, however, can benefit in this environment, as rising prices for raw materials (which are commodities) may drive up performance.

Special Risks - The Fund invests primarily in derivative instruments that are subject to market risks that relate to the movements of the returns of the commodity markets, and entail potentially higher volatility and risk of loss than traditional stock or bond investments. It may also invest in foreign securities, which may be more volatile and involve additional expenses and special risks, including currency exchanges, political and economic uncertainties and up to 10% in lower rated 'junk' bonds, which are more at risk of default than other bond investments and are subject to liquidity risk. The Fund may hold a higher concentration of energy related natural resources, which may significantly influence results. Appropriate for investors seeking total return over the long term, plus the potential to enhance diversification of an existing mixed asset portfolio. Investing in securities may be volatile.
