Regardless of near-term developments on the trade front, I expect growth to slow and think investors should consider more defensive positioning.

Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Mid-cap securities can have greater risk and volatility than large-cap securities. • The Fund's focus on investments in particular sectors may increase its volatility and risk of loss if adverse developments occur.
