Disclosures

Principal Risk

The principal risks are generally those attributable to investing in stocks 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. More particularly, the strategy invests in smaller companies which may be more susceptible to price swings than larger companies because they have fewer resources and more limited products, and many are dependent on a few key managers.
