Risks

The Fund’s shares may change in value and may go down as well as up. You could lose money by investing in the Fund. You may not get back all of the money you invest.

Actively managed funds are subject to management. In managing a fund's investment portfolio, the advisor will apply investment techniques and risk analyses that may not have the desired result. There can be no assurance that a fund's investment objectives will be achieved. The Fund is subject to market risk, which means that shares of the Fund may fall in value due to market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic, political, regulatory or market developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in securities prices. Shares of the Fund could decline in value or underperform other investments as a result of the risk of loss associated with these market fluctuations. In addition, local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, spread of infectious diseases or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant negative impact on the Fund and its investments. Such events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors and industries more significantly than others. The outbreak of the respiratory disease designated as COVID-19 in December 2019 has caused significant volatility and declines in global financial markets, which have caused losses for investors. The impact of this COVID-19 pandemic may last for an extended period of time and will continue to impact the economy for the foreseeable future. The use of derivative instruments can lead to losses because of adverse movements in the price or value of the underlying asset, index or rate, which may be magnified by certain features of the derivatives. These risks are heightened when a fund's portfolio managers use derivatives to enhance a fund's return or as a substitute for position or security, rather than solely to hedge (or offset) the risk of a position or security held by a fund. The Fund will invest in bond markets which may result in exposure to the risk that the bond issuer defaults on its obligations resulting in a loss of value for the bondholder. Additionally, the fund will invest in higher yielding bonds and emerging market bonds which are perceived to carry a higher risk of default and a greater possibility of loss to the fund. As the Fund's investments may be denominated in currencies other than the Fund's currency, an investment in this Fund may expose you to currency risk. This Fund's Net Asset Value (NAV) is likely to have high volatility due to the portfolio composition and/or the index replication technique. As such, potential investors should be aware that the Fund's shares may change in value, and may do so in a volatile fashion; potential investors could lose money by investing in the Fund.

Neither FTGP nor any of its affiliates, guarantees the performance or the future returns of the Fund. For more details relating to risks of investing in the Fund, please refer to the "Risk Factors" section of the Fund's prospectus.
