Principal Risk
The investment strategy's principal risks are generally those attributable to investing in stocks, bonds and related derivative instruments. Holdings are subject to market, issuer and other risks, and their values may fluctuate. Market risk is the risk that securities or other instruments may decline in value due to factors affecting the securities markets or particular industries. Issuer risk is the risk that the value of a security or instrument may decline for reasons specific to the issuer, such as changes in its financial condition. The strategy may also be exposed to risks involved with international investing, including currency fluctuation and economic and political risk not found in investments that are solely domestic. Additionally, the concentration of holdings may lead to high volatility and tracking error relative to the benchmark. Furthermore, there is the risk that needed hedges may not always be available in the derivatives markets or available at attractive prices.
