(a) Market Risk: Potential losses that may arise from changes in the market conditions which in turn affect the market prices of the investments of the Fund.
(b) Fixed Income Securities Risk: Fixed income securities fluctuate in price based on changes in an issuer’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. The value of a fixed income security may also fall due to specific conditions that affect a particular sector of the securities market or a particular issuer. Fixed income securities are subject to, among other risks, credit risk, extension risk, issuer risk, interest rate risk, market risk and prepayment risk.
(c) Active Management Risk: The Fund is subject to the risk that the Adviser or Subadviser may make poor security selections.
(d) Municipal Securities Risk: Municipal bonds can be significantly affected by political and economic changes, including inflation, as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation, legislative changes, or the rights of municipal security holders.
(e) Yield Risk: The amount of income received by the Fund will go up or down depending on day-to-day variations in short-term interest rates, and when interest rates are very low the Fund’s expenses could absorb all or a significant portion of the Fund’s income. Please read the prospectus for more detailed information regarding these and other risks.
