Documentos do Fundo de Itens Relacionados Salvo indicação em contrário, todas as informações aqui contidas são as do Fundo de Estratégia de Futuros Gerenciados do Estado StreetRamius - Classe I O Conselheiro acordou contratualmente renunciar a suas taxas e pagar as despesas operacionais do Fundo para garantir que as despesas operacionais totais do fundo anual ( Excluindo quaisquer (i) despesas da Subsidiária e despesas da Entidade de Negociação, (ii) taxas e despesas do fundo adquirido, (iii) juros, (iv) impostos, (v) dividendos em posições curtas, (vi) comissões de corretagem, (vii) Cargas diferidas de fim ou contingente, (viii) despesas incorridas em conexão com qualquer fusão ou reorganização e (ix) despesas extraordinárias, tais como despesas judiciais) não excedem 1,84 e 1,59 do patrimônio líquido diário médio das ações de Classe A e Classe I , Respectivamente. Este acordo entrará em vigor até 30 de abril de 2017 e poderá ser rescindido antes dessa data apenas pelo Conselho de Curadores dos Fideicomissários. O Conselheiro é autorizado a solicitar o reembolso do Fundo, sujeito a certas limitações, às taxas que renunciou e às despesas do Fundo que reembolsou por um período que termina três anos fiscais completos após a data da renúncia ou pagamento. Além disso, o Conselheiro concordou contratualmente, desde que o Fundo investe na Subsidiária, renuncie à taxa de administração que recebe do Fundo em um valor igual à taxa de administração paga ao Conselheiro pela Subsidiária de acordo com o aviso de investimento Acordo entre a Subsidiária eo Conselheiro. Esta empresa não pode ser rescindida pelo Consultor, desde que o acordo de consultoria de investimento entre a Subsidiária e o Conselheiro esteja em vigor, a menos que o Conselheiro obtenha a aprovação prévia do Conselho de Curadores dos Fundos. 1 As despesas da Subsidiária incluem taxas e despesas das Entidades de Negociação que são suportadas indiretamente pelo Fundo como resultado do investimento nas Entidades de Negociação através da Subsidiária, incluindo taxas de administração pagas pelas Entidades de Negociação aos Conselheiros de Negociação e taxas de desempenho com base nos lucros de negociação (Ambos realizados e não realizados) aos Consultores de Negociação. As taxas e despesas reais podem variar de ano para ano, incluindo, dependendo dos lucros e do montante das Entidades de Negociação atribuídas a cada Entidade de Negociação. O Fundo deve ser considerado um investimento especulativo que implique um alto grau de risco e não é adequado para todos os investidores. O Fundo investirá uma porcentagem de seus ativos em derivativos, como futuros e contratos de opções. O uso de tais derivados pode expor o Fundo a riscos adicionais que não estariam sujeitos se investido diretamente nos valores mobiliários e commodities subjacentes a esses derivativos. O uso de derivados pode ser altamente volátil, ilíquido e difícil de gerenciar. As derivadas envolvem riscos maiores do que as obrigações subjacentes porque, além dos riscos gerais de mercado, estão sujeitos a risco de iliquidez, risco de contraparte, risco de crédito, risco de preço e risco de alavancagem. O uso de derivativos, incluindo futuros e contratos a prazo, e ETFs podem reduzir os retornos e aumentar a volatilidade. Pode haver uma correlação imperfeita entre as mudanças no valor de mercado dos títulos detidos pelo Fundo e os preços dos futuros. Embora os contratos de futuros sejam, geralmente, instrumentos líquidos, em determinadas condições de mercado, nem sempre haverá um mercado líquido ordinário para um contrato de futuros. Como resultado, o Fundo pode não conseguir fechar seus contratos de futuros em um momento que seja vantajoso. As restrições ou limitações de negociação podem ser impostas por uma troca, e os regulamentos governamentais podem restringir a negociação em contratos de futuros. As transações de balcão (OTC) estão sujeitas a um pequeno regulamento, se houver, e podem estar sujeitas ao risco de inadimplência da contraparte. Uma parcela dos ativos do Fundo pode ser usada para negociar contratos de juros de commodities OTC, tais como contratos a termo e outros contratos de commodities ou spot. Os conselheiros de negociação podem negociar em mercados ou trocas fora dos Estados Unidos, tais posições podem representar uma parcela substancial dos ativos dos Fundos e podem representar até 100 dos ativos totais do Fundo. As vendas a descoberto são transações especulativas e envolvem riscos especiais. Se o preço da garantia ou outro instrumento vendido curto aumenta entre a data da venda a descoberto e a data em que o Fundo substituir a garantia ou outro instrumento emprestado para fazer a venda a descoberto, o Fundo sofrerá uma perda, potencialmente ilimitada . O Fundo não é diversificado, o que significa que pode investir uma porcentagem relativamente alta de seus ativos em um número limitado de posições, tornando-o mais vulnerável a mudanças no valor de mercado de uma única posição. O Fundo pode investir uma parcela maior de seus ativos em um ou mais setores do que muitos outros fundos de investimento e, portanto, seria mais suscetível a eventos negativos que afetem esses setores. Os investimentos estrangeiros apresentam riscos adicionais devido a flutuações cambiais, fatores econômicos e políticos, menor liquidez e outros fatores. A exposição indireta e direta dos fundos a moedas estrangeiras sujeita o Fundo ao risco de que essas moedas diminuam em relação ao dólar norte-americano ou, no caso de posições curtas, que o dólar norte-americano diminuirá em valor relativo à moeda que O Fundo é curto. As taxas de câmbio em países estrangeiros podem flutuar significativamente em curtos períodos de tempo por muitas razões, incluindo mudanças nas taxas de juros e imposição de controles cambiais ou outros desenvolvimentos políticos nos EUA ou no exterior. Além disso, o Fundo pode incorrer em custos de transação em relação a conversões entre várias moedas. Alguns mercados estrangeiros apresentam risco adicional, porque não estão sujeitos ao mesmo grau de regulamentação que os seus homólogos dos EUA. A negociação de câmbio estrangeiro está sujeita aos riscos apresentados, entre outras coisas, pelos controles cambiais, expropriação, aumento dos encargos tributários e exposição a declínios econômicos locais e instabilidade política. Um desenvolvimento adverso em relação a qualquer uma dessas variáveis poderia reduzir o lucro ou aumentar a perda acumulada em negócios nos mercados internacionais afetados. As atividades de comércio internacional estão sujeitas a risco cambial. O Fundo pode empregar alavancagem e pode investir em instrumentos alavancados. Quanto mais o Fundo investe em instrumentos alavancados, mais essa alavancagem ampliará quaisquer ganhos ou perdas nesses investimentos. O valor do seu investimento no Fundo provavelmente flutuará com as mudanças nas taxas de juros. Normalmente, um aumento nas taxas de juros causa uma queda no valor dos títulos de renda fixa de propriedade do Fundo. Em geral, o preço de mercado dos títulos de dívida com vencimentos mais longos aumentará ou diminuirá mais em resposta a mudanças nas taxas de juros do que os títulos de curto prazo. Outros fatores de risco incluem o risco de crédito (o devedor pode inadimplemento) e o risco de pagamento antecipado (o devedor pode pagar sua obrigação antecipadamente, reduzindo o montante dos pagamentos de juros). A taxa de rotatividade anual da carteira dos Fundos pode variar muito de ano para ano. A negociação freqüente pode resultar em custos de transação, o que pode prejudicar o desempenho dos Fundos e as possíveis consequências fiscais. As ações da ETF podem, às vezes, negociar com um prêmio ou desconto para seus valores patrimoniais líquidos e não podem replicar exatamente o desempenho do índice de referência que ele procura rastrear e pode envolver duplicação de taxas de consultoria e certas outras despesas. Os ETNs podem ser mantidos até o vencimento, mas, ao contrário dos títulos, não há pagamentos de juros periódicos e o principal não está protegido. O Fundo será indiretamente exposto aos riscos associados às Subsidiárias e às Entidades de Negociação respectivos investimentos. A Subsidiária e as Entidades de Negociação não estão registradas nos termos da Lei das Sociedades de Investimento de 1940 (a Lei de 1940) e, salvo indicação em contrário neste material de marketing, não estão sujeitas a todas as proteções dos investidores da Lei de 1940. As mudanças nas leis dos Estados Unidos, dos estados dos EUA ou das Ilhas Cayman, nos termos das quais o Fundo, as Entidades de Negociação e a Subsidiária são organizadas e operadas, conforme aplicável, poderiam impedir o Fundo, a Subsidiária ou as Entidades de Negociação de operar como Descrito no prospecto do Fundo e pode afetar negativamente o Fundo e seus acionistas. Além disso, as Ilhas Cayman atualmente não impõem nenhuma receita, incorporação, ganho de capital ou imposto retido na fonte na Subsidiária. Se isso mudasse e a Subsidiária fosse obrigada a pagar os impostos da Ilha Cayman, os retornos de investimento do Fundo seriam prejudicados. A Subsidiária concentra seus investimentos nos mercados de commodities futuros, que historicamente experimentaram uma volatilidade substancial dos preços. Esta concentração sujeita o Fundo a um maior risco de perda como resultado de desenvolvimentos econômicos, comerciais ou outros adversos do que se os investimentos das Subsidiárias fossem diversificados em diferentes setores e mercados. As taxas baseadas no desempenho pagas aos consultores de negociação podem criar um incentivo para que os consultores de negociação façam investimentos que sejam mais arriscados ou mais especulativos do que aqueles que poderiam ter feito na ausência de tais taxas baseadas em desempenho. Um Consultor de Negociação com desempenho positivo pode receber uma remuneração baseada no desempenho da Entidade de Negociação, que será suportada indiretamente pelo Fundo, mesmo que os resultados globais dos Fundos sejam negativos.

BofA Merrill Lynch Índice mensal de faturamento do Tesouro dos Estados Unidos O índice de faturamento do Tesouro dos Estados Unidos de 3 meses da BofA Merrill Lynch é composto por uma única emissão comprada no início do mês e mantida por um mês inteiro. A cada mês, o índice é reequilibrado e a questão selecionada é o Bill do Tesouro em circulação que mora mais próximo, mas não além de 3 meses a partir da data de reequilíbrio. O desempenho do índice não reflete a dedução de despesas associadas a um fundo, como taxas de gerenciamento de investimentos. Em contrapartida, o desempenho do Fundo reflete a dedução das taxas e despesas do fundo. Um indivíduo não pode investir diretamente em um índice. Informações importantes sobre riscos Os principais riscos do risco de investimento são inerentes a todos os investimentos. Uma vez que o Fundo pode ser considerado investir indiretamente nas Entidades de Negociação através da sua Subsidiária, as referências aos riscos da Fundrsquos também incluem riscos associados ao investimento na Subsidiária e nas Entidades de Negociação. Uma descrição resumida de certos principais riscos de investir no Fundo é apresentada abaixo. Antes de decidir se deve investir no Fundo, considere cuidadosamente esses fatores de risco associados ao investimento no Fundo, o que pode levar os investidores a perder dinheiro. Não há garantia de que o Fundo atinja seu objetivo de investimento. Managed Futures StrategyCommodities Risk. A exposição aos mercados de commodities (incluindo os mercados de futuros financeiros) através do investimento em programas de futuros gerenciados pode sujeitar o Fundo a uma maior volatilidade do que os investimentos no mercado de caixa em títulos. Os preços de commodities e contratos relacionados podem flutuar significativamente em períodos curtos por uma variedade de razões, incluindo: mudanças nas taxas de juros, relações de oferta e demanda e saldos de pagamentos e clima de comércio e desastres naturais e governamentais, agrícolas, comerciais, fiscais, monetárias e Programas e políticas de controle de câmbio. Os mercados de commodities estão sujeitos a distorções temporárias e outras interrupções. As bolsas de futuros dos EUA e algumas bolsas de câmbio têm regulamentos que limitam a quantidade de flutuação nos preços do contrato de futuros que podem ocorrer durante um único dia útil. Os preços-limite têm o efeito de excluir a negociação de um determinado contrato ou forçar a liquidação de contratos em tempos ou preços desvantajosos. Risco de derivativos. As derivadas incluem instrumentos e contratos baseados e avaliados em relação a um ou mais títulos subjacentes, benchmarks financeiros, índices ou outras obrigações de referência ou medidas de valor. Os principais tipos de derivados incluem futuros, opções, swaps e contratos a prazo. Dependendo de como o Fundo utiliza derivativos e a relação entre o valor de mercado de um derivado e o instrumento subjacente, o uso de derivativos pode aumentar ou diminuir a exposição da Fundrsquos aos riscos do instrumento subjacente. O uso de derivativos pode ter um efeito de alavanca e aumentar a volatilidade do fundo. As transações de derivativos podem ser altamente ilíquidas e difíceis de desenrolar ou valor, e as mudanças no valor de um derivativo detido pelo Fundo podem não se correlacionar com o valor do instrumento subjacente ou os outros investimentos da Fundrsquos. Muitos dos riscos aplicáveis à negociação dos instrumentos derivativos subjacentes também são aplicáveis à negociação de derivativos. No entanto, riscos adicionais estão associados à negociação de derivativos que possivelmente são maiores que os riscos associados ao investimento diretamente nos instrumentos subjacentes. Esses riscos adicionais incluem, mas não estão limitados a, risco de liquidez e risco de crédito da contraparte. Para os derivados que são obrigados a ser compensados por uma câmara de compensação regulamentada, outros riscos podem surgir do relacionamento da Fundrsquos com uma empresa de corretagem através da qual elegeria operações de derivativos para compensação, inclusive em alguns casos de clientes de clearing da corretora. O Fundo também seria exposto ao risco de contraparte em relação à câmara de compensação. Um pequeno investimento em derivativos poderia ter um impacto potencialmente grande no desempenho da Fundrsquos. As leis de reforma financeira mudaram muitos aspectos da regulamentação financeira aplicável aos derivativos. Uma vez implementados, os novos regulamentos, incluindo os requisitos de margem, compensação e execução comercial, podem tornar os derivados mais onerosos, podem limitar a sua disponibilidade, podem apresentar riscos diferentes ou podem afetar negativamente o valor ou o desempenho desses instrumentos. A extensão e o impacto desses regulamentos ainda não são totalmente conhecidos e podem não ser conhecidos há algum tempo. Risco Fixo de Renda. Os preços dos títulos de renda fixa tendem a se mover inversamente com as mudanças nas taxas de juros. Normalmente, um aumento nas taxas afetará negativamente os preços de segurança de renda fixa e, consequentemente, o Fundrsquos retorna e compartilha o preço. Além disso, o Fundo pode estar sujeito ao risco ldquocallrdquo, que é o risco de que, durante um período de queda das taxas de juros, o emissor pode resgatar uma garantia mediante o reembolso antecipado (o que pode reduzir a receita da Fundrsquos se o produto for reinvestido a taxas de juros mais baixas ) E ldquoextensionrdquo risk, que ocorre durante um ambiente de taxa de juros crescente, porque certas obrigações serão amortizadas por um emissor mais devagar do que o previsto (fazendo com que o valor desses títulos detidos pelo Fundo caira). Risco de crédito. Se um emitente ou garante de um título de dívida detido pelo Fundo ou de uma contraparte em um contrato financeiro com o Fundo inadimplente ou for rebaixado ou for considerado menos solvente ou se o valor dos ativos subjacentes a um título declinar, o valor de O portfólio da Fundrsquos tipicamente declinará. Risco de taxas elevadas. O custo de investimento no Fundo pode ser maior do que o custo de investir em outros fundos de investimento que investem diretamente nos tipos de derivativos detidos pelas Entidades de Negociação. Além das taxas e despesas diretas do Fundo, você suportará indiretamente taxas e despesas pagas pela Subsidiária e pelas Entidades de Negociação, incluindo taxas de administração e comissões baseadas em desempenho, comissões de corretagem de commodities e com perdas operacionais Risco de taxas de desempenho. As taxas baseadas no desempenho pagas aos consultores de negociação podem criar um incentivo para que os consultores de negociação façam investimentos que sejam mais arriscados ou mais especulativos do que aqueles que poderiam ter feito na ausência de tais taxas baseadas em desempenho. Um Consultor de Negociação com desempenho positivo pode receber uma remuneração baseada no desempenho da Entidade de Negociação, que será suportada indiretamente pelo Fundo, mesmo que os resultados globais da Fundrsquos sejam negativos. Risco subsidiário. Ao investir na Subsidiária e, indiretamente, nas Entidades de Negociação, o Fundo estará indiretamente exposto aos riscos associados aos Subsidiários e às Entidades de Negociação, os respectivos investimentos. A Subsidiária e as Entidades de Negociação não estão registradas nos termos da Lei de 1940 e, salvo indicação em contrário neste Prospecto, não estão sujeitas a todas as proteções dos investidores da Lei de 1940. As mudanças nas leis dos Estados Unidos, dos estados dos EUA ou das Ilhas Cayman, nos termos das quais o Fundo, as Entidades de Negociação e a Subsidiária são organizadas e operadas, conforme aplicável, poderiam impedir o Fundo, a Subsidiária ou as Entidades de Negociação de operar como Descrito neste Prospecto e pode afetar negativamente o Fundo e seus acionistas. Risco tributário. Para se qualificar para o tratamento tributário disponível para as empresas de investimento regulamentadas de acordo com o Código, o Fundo deve ter pelo menos 90 de seu lucro bruto para cada ano tributável de fontes tratadas como renda lquocalizável. Riqueza derivada de investimentos diretos em commodities não é uma receita significativa. Além disso, o Internal Revenue Service (the ldquoIRSrdquo) emitiu uma decisão de receita concluindo que os ganhos e ganhos de certos derivados ligados a commodities não constituem renda ldquoqualifying. rdquo É possível que o Fundo, de tempos em tempos, faça investimentos em commodities E derivativos ligados a commodities diretamente, ao invés de através da Subsidiária, e, portanto, é possível que alguns dos rendimentos da Fundrsquos não constituam renda ldquoqualifying. rdquo O IRS indicou em outra receita que determina que os rendimentos de certos instrumentos, como certas notas estruturadas , Que criam exposição de mercadorias podem constituir renda linda, rdquo e Emitiu sentenças de cartas privadas que decompõem que os rendimentos provenientes de certas notas vinculadas a commodities constituem rendas significativas. Por outro lado, o IRS emitiu sentenças de cartas particulares que concluíram que determinados rendimentos obtidos por uma empresa de investimentos regulada de uma subsidiária integral, como a Subsidiária , Que investe em commodities e derivativos ligados a commodities constitui renda lquocalizável. rdquo Cada uma dessas decisões de cartas particulares aplica-se apenas ao contribuinte que a solicitou e não pode ser usado ou citado como precedente. Além disso, o IRS suspendeu a emissão de tais decisões nesta área. O Fundo não solicitou ou recebeu tal decisão do IRS, e não determinou se deve ou não proferir tal decisão se o IRS retomar a emissão de tais decisões. O Fundo pretende assumir a posição de que os rendimentos de seus investimentos em certas notas vinculadas a commodities e na Subsidiária constituirão a quantia equivalente, mesmo que a Subsidiária não distribua todos os seus rendimentos anualmente. Na ausência de uma decisão, no entanto, não pode haver certeza a este respeito, e o Fundo não procurou uma opinião dos advogados sobre esta posição. É possível que o IRS reverte sua posição anterior e publique orientações sob as quais assumirá a posição de que esses itens não constituiriam renda ldquoqualifying. rdquo O tratamento fiscal do investimento da Fundrsquos em notas vinculadas a commodities ou na Subsidiária também poderia ser Prejudicados pela legislação futura ou pelos regulamentos do Tesouro. Se os rendimentos obtidos pelo Fundo de seus investimentos em notas vinculadas a commodities e na Subsidiária não constituem rendimentos significativos, por vezes, o Fundo poderá não ser elegível como uma companhia de investimento regulada ao abrigo do Código nesse caso, o Fundo estaria sujeito Para o imposto de renda federal dos EUA em taxas corporativas regulares sobre seus lucros tributáveis, incluindo o seu ganho de capital líquido, mesmo que tais rendimentos fossem distribuídos aos seus acionistas e todas as distribuições de ganhos e lucros fossem tributados aos acionistas como receita de dividendos. Se a legislação futura, os regulamentos do Tesouro ou a orientação do IRS impedem o Fundo de tratar os seus rendimentos de seus investimentos em notas vinculadas a commodities ou na Subsidiária como subsídio de qualificação e o Fundo não atende a certas disposições de cura (o que geralmente exigiria que o Fundo pague determinadas Impostos sobre o nível do fundo), o Fundo e o Conselheiro considerarão as ações a serem tomadas, incluindo potencialmente liquidadas do Fundo. Risco de rotação da carteira. A negociação ativa e freqüente dos títulos da carteira da Fundrsquos e outros investimentos pode levar a custos de transação mais elevados e pode resultar em um maior número de transações tributáveis do que seria o caso, o que poderia afetar negativamente o desempenho da Fundrsquos. Uma alta taxa de volume de negócios é de 100 ou mais. Risco de gestão. Os processos de investimento utilizados pelo Conselheiro, o Subconsultor e os Consultores de Negociação podem deixar de atingir o objetivo de investimento da Fundrsquos e fazer com que seu investimento perca o valor. Por conseguinte, o Fundo deve ser considerado um investimento especulativo que implique um alto grau de risco e não é adequado para todos os investidores. Intervenção governamental e risco de mudanças regulatórias. Em resposta à crise financeira global que começou em 2008, o que causou uma queda significativa no valor e liquidez de muitos títulos e volatilidade sem precedentes nos mercados, o governo dos EUA e o Federal Reserve, bem como alguns governos estrangeiros e seus bancos centrais , Tomaram medidas para apoiar os mercados financeiros, inclusive mantendo as taxas de juros baixas. A retirada desse apoio, o fracasso dos esforços em resposta à crise ou a percepção dos investidores de que tais esforços não estão conseguindo afetar negativamente os mercados financeiros em geral, bem como reduzir o valor e a liquidez de certos títulos. Além disso, as mudanças políticas e legislativas nos Estados Unidos e em outros países estão afetando muitos aspectos da regulamentação financeira. A este respeito, a Lei Dodd-Frank Wall Street e Lei de Proteção do Consumidor (o ldquoDodd-Frank Actrdquo) aumentou significativamente a autoridade de regulamentação, supervisão e fiscalização dos reguladores federais de bancos, valores mobiliários e commodities. Esses reguladores continuam a implementar regulamentos sob a Lei Dodd-Frank, alguns dos quais podem afetar negativamente o Fundo. Por exemplo, mudanças importantes ao abrigo da Lei Dodd-Frank ou outras ações legislativas ou regulatórias podem afetar materialmente a rentabilidade do Fundo ou o valor dos investimentos feitos pelo Fundo ou forçar o Fundo a revisar sua estratégia de investimento ou alienar certos investimentos. Qualquer um desses desenvolvimentos poderia expor o Fundo a custos adicionais, impostos, responsabilidades, ações de execução e risco de reputação. O Dodd-Frank Act estabeleceu uma nova estrutura regulatória para derivativos. Se limites de posição mais restritivos forem impostas aos investidores nos futuros de commodities e outros mercados de derivativos, os programas de futuros gerenciados em que as Entidades de Negociação investem e, como resultado, o Fundo poderá ser afetado de forma adversa. Da mesma forma, as mudanças na regulamentação das negociações relacionadas a moeda estrangeira decorrentes da Lei Dodd-Frank podem tornar essa negociação mais dispendiosa para o Fundo e, de outro modo, limitar a capacidade do Fundrsquick de se envolver em tais operações, o que poderá afetar negativamente o Fundo. O Conselheiro é registrado como um operador de pool de commodities sob o Commodity Exchange Act. Como um operador de pool de commodities registrado, o Conselheiro está sujeito a um esquema abrangente de regulamentos administrados pela CFTC e a National Futures Association, o órgão de auto-regulação para empresas de futuros e swaps (o ldquoNFArdquo), tanto em suas próprias operações como Os do Fundo. O Conselheiro procura confiar no alívio de certos requisitos de registro, relatórios e divulgação da CFTC, de outra forma aplicáveis ao Fundo, à Subsidiária e às Entidades de Negociação, na medida permitida pelos regulamentos da CFTC e pela orientação da equipe da CFTC. Risco do consultor de negociação estrangeira. Todos os atuais conselheiros de negociação estão localizados fora dos Estados Unidos e o Advisor antecipa que, no futuro, pelo menos alguns dos Consultores de Negociação estarão localizados fora dos Estados Unidos. Dependendo de suas jurisdições, tais consultores de negociação podem estar sujeitos, entre outras coisas, a requisitos de relatório menos rigorosos do que os consultores de negociação dos EUA, requisitos de regulamentação e conformidade menos rígidos e menos sistemas legais e leis legais referentes aos direitos dos clientes e aos investidores. Também pode ser mais difícil para o Fundo fazer valer julgamentos legais contra os Consultores Comerciais localizados fora dos Estados Unidos. Risco de investimento estrangeiro. Os preços dos títulos estrangeiros podem ser mais voláteis do que os preços dos títulos de emissores dos EUA devido a condições econômicas e sociais no exterior, desenvolvimentos políticos e mudanças nos ambientes regulatórios de países estrangeiros. Além disso, mudanças nas taxas de câmbio e taxas de juros podem afetar negativamente os valores dos investimentos estrangeiros da Fundrsquos. As empresas estrangeiras geralmente estão sujeitas a diferentes padrões legais e contábeis do que as empresas americanas, e os intermediários financeiros estrangeiros podem estar sujeitos a menos supervisão e regulamentação que as empresas financeiras dos EUA. Os mercados emergentes tendem a ser mais voláteis do que os mercados de economias mais maduras e geralmente têm estruturas econômicas menos diversas e menos maduras e sistemas políticos menos estáveis do que os países desenvolvidos. Risco cambial. The values of investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies increase or decrease as the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U. S. Dollar change. Currency conversion costs and currency fluctuations could erase investment gains or add to investment losses. Currency exchange rates can be volatile and are affected by factors such as general economic conditions, the actions of the U. S. and foreign governments or central banks, the imposition of currency controls, and speculation. Leveraging Risk. Certain Fund transactions, including entering into futures contracts and taking short positions in financial instruments, may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage can magnify the effects of changes in the value of the Fundrsquos investments and make the Fund more volatile. Leverage creates a risk of loss of value on a larger pool of assets than the Fund would otherwise have had, potentially resulting in the loss of all assets. The Fund may also have to sell assets at inopportune times to satisfy its obligations in connection with such transactions. Liquidity Risk. The Fund may not be able to sell some or all of the investments that it holds due to a lack of demand in the marketplace or other factors such as market turmoil, or if the Fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset to meet redemption requests or other cash needs it may only be able to sell those investments at a loss. Illiquid assets may also be difficult to value. ETF Risk. Investing in an ETF will provide the Fund with exposure to the securities comprising the index on which the ETF is based and will expose the Fund to risks similar to those of investing directly in those securities. Shares of ETFs typically trade on securities exchanges and may at times trade at a premium or discount to their net asset values. In addition, an ETF may not replicate exactly the performance of the benchmark index it seeks to track for a number of reasons, including transaction costs incurred by the ETF, the temporary unavailability of certain index securities in the secondary market or discrepancies between the ETF and the index with respect to the weighting of securities or the number of securities held. Investing in ETFs, which are investment companies, may involve duplication of advisory fees and certain other expenses. The Fund will pay brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase and sale of shares of ETFs. ETN Risk. ETNs are debt securities that combine certain aspects of ETFs and bonds. ETNs are not investment companies and thus are not regulated under the 1940 Act. ETNs, like ETFs, are traded on stock exchanges and generally track specified market indices, and their values depend on the performance of the underlying index and the credit rating of the issuer. ETNs may be held to maturity, but unlike bonds there are no periodic interest payments and principal is not protected. Sector Focus Risk. The Fund may invest a larger portion of its assets in one or more sectors than many other mutual funds, and thus would be more susceptible to negative events affecting those sectors. At times the performance of the Fundrsquos investments may lag the performance of other sectors or the broader market as a whole. Such underperformance may continue for extended periods of time. Short Sales Risk. In connection with a short sale of a security or other instrument, the Fund is subject to the risk that instead of declining, the price of the security or other instrument sold short will rise. If the price of the security or other instrument sold short increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the security or other instrument borrowed to make the short sale, the Fund will experience a loss, which is theoretically unlimited since there is a theoretically unlimited potential for the market price of a security or other instrument sold short to increase. Selling options or futures short may have an imperfect correlation to the assets held by the Fund and may not adequately protect against losses in or may result in greater losses for the Fundrsquos portfolio. Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk. The instability in the Middle East and terrorist attacks in the United States and around the world may result in market volatility and may have long-term effects on the U. S. and worldwide financial markets and may cause further economic uncertainties in the United States and worldwide. The Fund cannot predict the effects of geopolitical events in the future on the U. S. economy and securities markets. Regulatory Risk. Governments, agencies or other regulatory bodies may adopt or change laws or regulations that could adversely affect the issuer, or market value, of an instrument held by the Fund or the Fundrsquos performance. Market Risk. The market price of a security or instrument may decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions throughout the world, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. The market value of a security or instrument may also decline because of factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Non-Diversification Risk. The Fund is classified as ldquonon-diversified, rdquo which means the Fund may invest a larger percentage of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. Investment in securities of a limited number of issuers exposes the Fund to greater market risk and potential losses than if its assets were diversified among the securities of a greater number of issuers.
