Risks to Consider: The value of investments in equity securities will fluctuate in response to general economic conditions and to changes in the prospects of particular companies, including market, liquidity, currency, and political risks. Small cap company stocks tend to be more volatile and may be less liquid than large cap company stocks. Small cap companies also may have more limited product lines, markets, or financial resources and typically experience a higher risk of failure than large cap companies. The strategy may invest in foreign or emerging market securities, which may be adversely affected by economic, political, or regulatory factors and subject to currency volatility and greater liquidity risk.
