Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. The Fund invests in smaller companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility than large companies. The fund may also invest in foreign securities which involve political, economic and currency risks, greater volatility and differences in accounting methods.
