Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
The fund invests in smaller companies, which involves additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. The fund may also make short sales of securities, which involves the risk that losses may exceed the original amount invested. Investments in foreign securities and emerging markets involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. The use of options and future contracts have special risks such as unlimited losses of the underlying holdings due to unanticipated market movements and failure to correctly predict the direction of securities prices, interest rates and currency exchange rates.
Market Cap is the value of a company that is traded on the stock market, calculated by multiplying the total number of shares by the present share price.
The funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses must be considered carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the investment company and can be obtained by calling 1-877-232-1222. Read it carefully before investing.
