Investments in commodities, options on them, and commodity-linked notes are not suitable for all persons or entities and the risk of loss may be substantial. Therefore, in the absence of principal protection, only risk or hedge capital should be invested in them. Any principal protection guarantees are based solely on the creditworthiness of the issuer and so are subject to default risk which could still result in the investor losing his or her entire investment.
