Investment risks
Concentration: Concentration of investments in a relatively small number of securities, sectors or industries, or geographical regions may significantly affect performance.
Currency: Investments in currencies, currency futures contracts, forward currency exchange contracts or similar instruments, as well as in securities that are denominated in foreign currency, are subject to the risk that the value of a particular currency will change in relation to one or more other currencies.
Equity markets: Equity markets are subject to many factors, including economic conditions, government regulations, market sentiment, local and international political events, and environmental and technological issues.
Foreign markets (includes emerging markets): Investments in foreign markets may present risks not typically associated with domestic markets. These risks may include changes in currency exchange rates; less-liquid markets and less available information; less government supervision of exchanges, brokers, and issuers; increased social, economic, and political uncertainty; and greater price volatility. These risks may be greater in emerging markets, which may also entail different risks than developed markets.
Smaller-capitalization stocks: The share prices of smalland midcap companies may exhibit greater volatility than the share prices of larger-cap companies. In addition, shares of small- and mid-cap companies are often less liquid than largercap companies.
