Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
The Fund invests in options which have risks of unlimited losses of the underlying holdings due to unanticipated market movements and failure to correctly predict the direction of the securities prices, interest rates and currency exchange rates. This investment may not be suitable for all investors. Investing in Non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to foreign economic and political developments, and may be subject to currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater in emerging markets. ETFs are subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including the risks that the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value, an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact a Fund’s ability to sell its shares.
