There is no guarantee that the strategy of the fund will be profitable or protect against loss. All investments carry some level of risk including loss of principal. The fund invests in the stocks of international companies. These companies often are more volatile and can represent more risks than US-based companies. The Fund may have a relatively high percentage of assets in a particular country, region or sector of international markets—as well as in a small number of issuers. As a result, a decline in the value of an investment in a single region, sector or issuer could cause the Fund’s overall value to decline to a greater degree than if the Fund held a more diverse portfolio. Securities of foreign issuers and ADRs are subject to certain inherent risks, such as political or economic instability, difficulty predicting international trade patterns, currency exchange rates, lack of uniform accounting and financial reporting standards and the possibility of imposition of exchange controls. These risks are more pronounced in emerging market countries. Mid-cap stocks may perform differently from large-cap stocks, as mid-cap stocks may be less liquid and more volatile than large-cap stocks.
