Mutual fund investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. There can be no assurance that the portfolio will achieve its stated objectives. Bond and bond funds will decrease in value as interest rates rise. A company may reduce or eliminate its dividend, causing losses to the fund. International investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, differences in generally accepted accounting principals, or from social economic, or political instability in other nations.
To determine if the fund is an appropriate investment for you, carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risk factors, charges and expenses before investing.
