DISCLOSURE

Investing involves risk including possible loss of principal.
Emerging markets are subject to greater market volatility, lower trading volume, political and economic instability,
uncertainty regarding the existence of trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment than more
developed markets.
In addition, Frontier financial markets, markets in the earliest stages of development, may be impacted by political
instability, war, terrorist activities and religious, ethnic and/or socioeconomic unrest. These and other factors make investing
in frontier market countries significantly riskier than investing in developed market or Emerging markets, emerging market
countries.
Changes in currency exchange rates and the relative value of non-U.S. currencies will affect the value of the Fund’s
investment and the value of your shares. Because the Fund’s NAV is determined in U.S. dollars, the Fund’s net asset value
(“NAV”) could decline if the currency of the non-U.S. market in which the Fund invests depreciates against the U.S. dollar,
even if the value of the Fund’s holdings, measured in the foreign currency, increases. Currency exchange rates can be very
volatile and can change quickly and unpredictably.
Before investing carefully consider the Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses contained in the
prospectus available at http://www.dawnglobal.com/ . Read Carefully before investing.
