General risk factors
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. The funds are subject to various risks and investments in the funds may go down as well as up and an investor may not get back the amount originally invested. Certain funds may invest substantially in any one or a combination of (i) emerging market securities, subjecting the fund to higher liquidity, currency, political, regulatory and economic risks; (ii) securities in a single market/sector, which are subject to higher concentration risk than investments with a more diversified portfolio; (iii) small cap companies, which are subject to higher default, liquidity and volatility risk than investment in large cap companies; and (iv) below-investment grade securities, which are subject to higher counter-party/credit, market and liquidity risks than investment grade securities. These investments may subject a fund’s NAV to substantial loss. The funds may invest in financial derivative instruments, which may subject a fund to substantial counterparty/credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk and potential substantial loss.
