Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Fund invests in small and medium-sized companies which tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. Investments in foreign securities involve greater volatility and political, economic, and currency risk and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for investments in emerging markets. The Fund will experience portfolio turnover, which may result in adverse tax consequences to the Fund’s shareholders. Because the Fund invests in ETFs, it is subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including the risks that the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value (“NAV”), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact a fund’s ability to sell its shares.
