Overall stock market risks will affect the value of individual instruments in which the Fund invests.

When the value of the Fund's investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money.

The Fund has a greater potential to realize losses upon the occurrence of adverse events affecting a particular issuer. The value of small or medium capitalization company stocks may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than those of larger, more established companies or the market averages in general.
