Small- and Medium-Sized Company Risk Information
An investment in securities of small and medium-sized companies involves
greater risk than is customarily associated with investing in more
established, larger sized companies.
Foreign Risk Information
An investment in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves risks beyond
those associated with investments in U.S. securities, including, but not
limited to: greater market volatility, the availability of less reliable
financial information, higher transactional and custody costs, taxation by
foreign governments, decreased
market liquidity, political instability, negative impact of changes in
currency exchange rates or foreign governmental regulation, currency risk,
fluctuation due to changes in interest rates, effects of monetary policies
issued by the United States, foreign governments, central banks or
supranational entities and currency controls or other national or global
political economic developments, among others.
Emerging Market Securities Risk
Investment in securities in emerging market countries involves risks not
associated with investments in securities in developed countries.
Industry and Sector Risk
When a Fund is focused in a specific industry or sector, it presents
greater risks than if it were broadly diversified over numerous industries
and sectors of the economy. Please read the prospectus for a summary of
these risks pertaining to each industry or sector.
The Fund has greater exposure to the potential adverse economic,
regulatory, political and other changes affecting infrastructure companies
because of investments in such entities. Infrastructure companies are
