Footnotes
The investment return and principal value of an investment will
fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Non-diversified fund investments concentrated in a specific industry or sector may be subject to greater risks than traditional diversified equity funds.
A percentage of the Fund may be invested in securities of non-U.S. companies and/or non-dollar securities. Investing in foreign
securities may involve different and additional risks associated with foreign currencies, investment disclosure, accounting,
securities regulation, commissions, taxes, political or social instability, war or expropriation.
