Legal Disclaimers
All investments involve risk, including possible loss of principal. Investments made in small and mid-capitalization companies may be more volatile and less liquid due to limited resources or product lines and more sensitive to economic factors. 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. 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. The Fund invests in foreign securities and ADRs, which involves certain risks such as currency volatility, political and social instability and reduced market liquidity.
