1

The leverage factor is applied to cumulative Reference Index return. If trust expenses exceed trust income, the degree of underlying value (UV) tracking accuracy will be compromised. The calculation of underlying value is described in the prospectus.  For more information regarding the S&P/Case-Shiller Composite-10 Home Price Index, please refer to the S&P index methodology document, which can be found at www.standardandpoors.com or www.MacroMarkets.com.

2

For all MacroShares products, premium and discounted market prices (relative to UV) are normal. These market prices reflect supply and demand, as well as factors that the prices of other exchange-traded products may not be affected by, including investor expectations for Reference Index performance over the remaining term of the security.

3

Income derived from United States Government securities is exempt from state and local taxes; income from repurchase agreements is not. Consult your tax advisor.

4

Subject to early termination as described in the prospectus.

5

The Reference Index Range is the maximum performance range of the Reference Index that can be tracked by the UV of the Major Metro Housing MacroShares. If the Reference Index rises to or above 216.23 or falls to or below 108.11, and, in either case, remains at or above that level (or at or below that level, as applicable) for three consecutive index publication days, these securities will terminate but continue to trade until the business day before the next scheduled quarterly distribution date and then be redeemed at their underlying value. For more information regarding this and other termination triggers, please read the prospectus.

6

Excludes a fixed trust fee that diminishes on a per-share basis as fund assets under management grow. These and other details can be found in the prospectus.

Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

How MacroShares™ Work

MacroShares are issued in pairs:  When MacroShares Major Metro Housing Down are created, an equal number of MacroShares Major Metro Housing Up are also created.

MacroShares funds are invested in short-term Treasury Bills, overnight repurchase agreements secured by Treasuries and cash.

Major Metro Housing Down funds are invested in the “Major Metro Housing Down Trust.” Major Metro Housing Up investor funds are invested in a separate “Major Metro Housing Up Trust”.  These trusts enter into a settlement contract: a binding agreement to pledge assets to one another over time, according to a predetermined formula that is driven by changes in the Reference Index.

The Underlying Value (UV) of these MacroShares changes by three times the inverse cumulative movement, in percent terms, of the S&P/Case-Shiller Composite-10 Home Price Index. When the index level decreases, the UV of MacroShares Major Metro Housing Down increases (and vice versa). Like the market prices for most other securities (e.g., corporate stocks and bonds), MacroShares prices naturally diverge from underlying value. Premium or discounted prices for these securities reflect a variety of market factors and expectations.  For example, the market price of MacroShares Major Metro Housing Down will reflect supply, demand, and investor expectations regarding the future path of home prices over the remaining term of the security.
