Important Legal Information

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Special risks are associated with foreign investing, including currency fluctuations, economic instability and political developments. Investments in developing markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors, in addition to those associated with these markets’ smaller size, lesser liquidity and lack of established legal, political, business and social frameworks to support securities markets. Because the funds invest their assets primarily in companies in a specific country or region the funds may also experience greater volatility than a fund that is more broadly diversified geographically. Non-diversified funds may invest in a relatively small number of issuers and, as a result, be subject to greater risk of loss with respect to their portfolio securities. These are other risks are discussed in each of the fund’s prospectuses.
For more information on any funds, contact your financial advisor or download a prospectus. Investors should carefully consider a fund's investment goals, risks, sales charges and expenses before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing or sending money.
ETFs trade like stocks, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below their net asset value. Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.
