Risk Considerations

Foreign securities are more volatile, harder to price and less liquid than U.S. securities; and are subject to different accounting and regulatory standards, and political and economic risks. These risks are enhanced in emerging markets countries. The Fund’s investments in high-yield bonds may subject the Fund to substantial risk of loss.
