About risk
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An
investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund
can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks
of investing in the Fund are:
Market Risk. The market values of the Fund’s investments, and
therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes
rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or
section of the economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of
the Fund’s investments may go up or down due to general market
conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as
real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general
outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency
rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters,
widespread disease or other public health issues, war, military conflict, acts
of terrorism, economic crisis or adverse investor sentiment generally. During
a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may
decline in value. When markets perform well, there can be no assurance
that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Investing in Stocks Risk. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be
affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience
significant short-term volatility and may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse
events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have
unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock
markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets
may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.
The prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same
direction at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up
and down more dramatically than those of certain other types of
investments, such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the
price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include, but are not
limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the
company, general unfavorable performance of the company’s sector or
industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its
industry. To the extent that securities of a particular type are emphasized (for
example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or
value stocks, or stocks of companies in a particular industry), fund share
values may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for
those types of securities.
Small- and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk. Investing in
securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies involves greater risk
than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established
companies. Stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to be
more vulnerable to changing market conditions, may have little or no
operating history or track record of success, and may have more limited
product lines and markets, less experienced management and fewer
financial resources than larger companies. These companies’ securities may
be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies.
They may be more sensitive to changes in a company’s earnings
expectations and may experience more abrupt and erratic price movements.
Smaller companies’ securities often trade in lower volumes and in many
instances, are traded over-the-counter or on a regional securities exchange,
where the frequency and volume of trading is substantially less than is
typical for securities of larger companies traded on national securities
exchanges. Therefore, the securities of smaller companies may be subject
to wider price fluctuations and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of
its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. Since small-
and mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings
in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time, particularly if
they are newer companies. It may take a substantial period of time to realize
a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-cap company, if any gain is
realized at all.
Growth Investing Risk. If a growth company’s earnings or stock price
fails to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the
expected results, the value of its securities may decline sharply. Growth
companies may be newer or smaller companies that may experience
greater stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more
established companies. Newer growth companies tend to retain a large part
of their earnings for research, development or investments in capital assets.
Therefore, they may not pay any dividends for some time. Growth investing
has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to
continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out of favor or
when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company
securities at an acceptable price and the securities of growth companies
may underperform the securities of value companies or the overall stock
market. Growth stocks may also be more volatile than other securities
because of investor speculation.
Sector Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant
amount of its assets invested in one market sector or group of related
industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater
extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there
is increased risk that the Fund will lose significant value if conditions
adversely affect that sector or group of industries.
Foreign Securities Risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be
adversely affected by political and social instability, changes in economic or
taxation policies, difficulty in enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity or
increased volatility. Foreign investments also involve the risk of the possible
seizure, nationalization or expropriation of the issuer or foreign deposits (in
which the Fund could lose its entire investments in a certain market) and
the possible adoption of foreign governmental restrictions such as exchange
controls. Foreign companies generally may be subject to less stringent
regulations than U.S. companies, including financial reporting requirements
and auditing and accounting controls, and may therefore be more
susceptible to fraud or corruption. There may be less public information
available about foreign companies than U.S. companies, making it difficult
to evaluate those foreign companies. Unless the Fund has hedged its
foreign currency exposure, foreign securities risk also involves the risk of
negative foreign currency rate fluctuations, which may cause the value of
securities denominated in such foreign currency (or other instruments
through which the Fund has exposure to foreign currencies) to decline in
value. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short
periods of time. Currency hedging strategies, if used, are not always
successful.
Emerging Market Securities Risk. Emerging markets (also referred
to as developing markets) are generally subject to greater market volatility,
political, social and economic instability, uncertain trading markets and more
governmental limitations on foreign investment than more developed
markets. In addition, companies operating in emerging markets may be
subject to lower trading volume and greater price fluctuations than
companies in more developed markets. Such countries’ economies may be
more dependent on relatively few industries or investors that may be highly
vulnerable to local and global changes. Companies in emerging market
countries generally may be subject to less stringent regulatory, disclosure,
financial reporting, accounting, auditing and recordkeeping standards than
companies in more developed countries. As a result, information, including
financial information, about such companies may be less available and
reliable, which can impede the Fund’s ability to evaluate such companies.
Securities law and the enforcement of systems of taxation in many
emerging market countries may change quickly and unpredictably, and the
ability to bring and enforce actions (including bankruptcy, confiscatory
taxation, expropriation, nationalization of a company’s assets, restrictions on
foreign ownership of local companies, restrictions on withdrawing assets
from the country, protectionist measures and practices such as share
blocking), or to obtain information needed to pursue or enforce such
actions, may be limited. In addition, the ability of foreign entities to
participate in privatization programs of certain developing or emerging
market countries may be limited by local law. Investments in emerging
market securities may be subject to additional transaction costs, delays in
settlement procedures, unexpected market closures, and lack of timely
information.
Cyclical Opportunities Risk. At times, the Fund might seek to take
advantage of short-term market movements or changes in the business
cycle by investing in companies or industries that are sensitive to those
changes. For example, when the economy is expanding, companies in
consumer durables and the technology sector might benefit. There is a risk
that, if a cyclical event does not have the anticipated effect or when the
issuer or industry is out of phase in the business cycle, the value of the
Fund’s investment could fall.
Investing in Special Situations Risk. At times, the Fund may seek
to benefit from what it considers to be “special situations,” such as mergers,
reorganizations, restructurings or other unusual events that are expected to
affect a particular issuer. There is a risk that the expected change or event
might not occur, which could cause the price of the security to fall, perhaps
sharply. In that case, the investment might not produce the expected gains
or might cause a loss. This is an aggressive investment technique that may
be considered speculative.
Management Risk. The Fund is actively managed and depends
heavily on the Adviser’s judgment about markets, interest rates or the
attractiveness, relative values, liquidity, or potential appreciation of particular
investments made for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund could experience
losses if these judgments prove to be incorrect. Additionally, legislative,
regulatory, or tax developments may adversely affect management of the
Fund and, therefore, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment
objective.
