Important Risks: Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. • 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 developments. These risks may be greater, and include additional risks, for investments in emerging markets. These risks may also be greater, and there may be additional risks, if the Fund focuses in a particular geographic region or country, such as Japan. • Small- and mid-cap securities can have greater risks and volatility than large-cap securities. • Different investment styles may go in and out of favor, which may cause the Fund to underperform the broader stock market. • Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market.
