Important Risks: Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Fixed income security risks include credit, liquidity, call, duration, event, inflation and interest-rate risk. As interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than US 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. • Focusing on one or more sectors, including the information technology, consumer discretionary and communication services sectors, may subject investors to increased volatility and risk of loss if adverse developments occur. • Private equity, private credit and private infrastructure investments involve substantial risk, including the possible loss of principal. These investments may be illiquid, difficult to value and subject to extended holding periods. • Private equity investments are subject to risks associated with the financial and operating performance of portfolio companies and the ability to successfully execute exit strategies. • Private credit investments are subject to credit and default risk, including the possibility that borrowers may fail to make required interest or principal payments. • Private infrastructure investments are subject to risks associated with the development, construction, operation and maintenance of infrastructure assets, as well as changes in economic conditions, demand, regulation, government policies and environmental factors. • Private investments may also involve leverage, limited transparency and less publicly available information than traditional publicly traded investments.• Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss.
