Insights & Literature

A WORD ABOUT RISK

Important Risks: Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • The Fund is not actively managed but rather attempts to track the performance of an index. The Fund's returns may diverge from that of the index. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory and economic developments. These risks may be greater, and include additional risks, in particular geographic regions or countries. • Investments focused in a country, region, sector, industry or group of industries may increase volatility and risk. • Mid-cap securities can have greater risks and volatility than large-cap securities.
