Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Funds that concentrate their investments in limited sectors, such as information technology, are more vulnerable to adverse market, economic, regulatory, political, or other developments affecting those sectors. Non-diversified funds are more vulnerable to market or economic events impacting issuers of individual portfolio securities than a diversified fund. Smaller company stocks tend to be more volatile and less liquid than those of larger companies. Consult the fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.
