The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which are subject to currency fluctuation and political uncertainty; and derivative securities, which may carry market, credit, and liquidity risks. The Fund may use hedging techniques to help achieve its objective. These risks may result in greater share price volatility. There is no assurance the Fund's objective will be achieved.
Average weighted market capitalization is the average market capitalization of stocks in a fund, each weighted by its proportion of assets. Beta measures a fund's sensitivity to changes in the overall market relative to its benchmark. The P/E ratio (Source: Morningstar, Inc.) relates the price of a stock to the per-share earnings of the company. P/E is calculated using a harmonic weighted average, which excludes outliers that can easily skew results. Standard deviation depicts how widely returns vary around its average and is used to understand the range of returns most likely for a given fund. A higher standard deviation generally implies greater volatility. Turnover (12-month) is the rate of trading in a portfolio, higher values imply more frequent trading. Beta is benchmarked against the S&P 500, an unmanaged index, which is a broad indicator of domestic stock price movements. An investment cannot be made directly in an index. Due to data availability, statistics may not be as of the current reporting period.
