A Word On Risk

An investment in the Fund is subject to market risk or the risk that stocks in the portfolio will decline in response to such factors as adverse company news or industry developments or a general economic decline. Investments in foreign stocks present additional risks, including foreign company risk, market risk, currency risk and correlation risk. Furthermore, investing in securities of developing countries involves greater risk than, or in addition to, investing in developed foreign countries. As with any mutual fund, possible loss of principal is a risk of investing.
