Legal Disclaimers
All investments involve risk, including possible loss of principal. The Fund invests in ETFs and is therefore subject to the same risks as the underlying securities in which the ETF invests as well as entails higher expenses than if invested into the underlying ETF directly. As interest rates rise the value of bond prices will decline. Credit risk refers to the loss in the value of a security based on a default in the payment of principal and/or interest of the security, or the perception of the market of such default. High-yield bonds have a higher risk of default or other adverse credit events, but have the potential to pay higher earnings over investment grade bonds. The value of convertible securities tends to decline as interest rates rise and, because of the conversion feature, tends to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities. Bank loans in which the Fund may invest have similar risks to below investment grade fixed income securities. In the event of the insolvency of an agent bank, a loan could be subject to settlement risk as well as the risk of interruptions in the administrative duties performed in the day to day administration of the loan. The Fund invests in foreign securities and ADRs, which involves certain risks such as currency volatility, political and social instability and reduced market liquidity.
