FUND RISKS
Stock markets, especially foreign markets, are volatile and can
decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political,
regulatory, market, or economic developments. Foreign securities
are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic, and
political risks. The fund may have additional volatility because it can
invest a significant portion of assets in securities of a small number of
individual issuers.

the fund's primary benchmark (index) unless a secondary benchmark
is provided to assess performance.

INDICES

are unmanaged. All indices include reinvestment of dividends and
interest income unless otherwise noted.
