Fund Risks
Investing in the Fund involves risk, including possible loss of principal invested. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.
The Fund invests in equity securities of emerging market companies as part of its principal investment strategy.
Foreign securities involve additional risks, including but not limited to exchange rate changes, political and economic upheaval, and relatively low market liquidity. As a result, the risks described relating to investments in foreign securities, including the risks of nationalization or expropriation of assets, would be heightened in emerging markets. In addition, unanticipated political or social developments may affect the values of the Fund's investments and the availability to the Fund of additional investments in such emerging markets.
The small size and inexperience of the securities markets in certain emerging markets and the limited volume of trading in securities in those markets may make the Fund's investments in such countries less liquid and more volatile than investments in countries with more developed securities markets (such as the U.S., Japan and most Western European countries).
The Fund is new, with a limited operating history, and there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow or maintain an economically viable size, in which case the Board of Trustees of the Fund may decide to liquidate the Fund.
