Issuer Risk: the risk that the value of a security may decline for reasons related to the issuer, such as management performance, changes in financial condition or credit
rating, financial leverage, reputation or reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services
Liquidity Risk: the risk that a particular investment may be difficult to purchase or sell and that the Fund may be unable to sell investments at an advantageous time or price or
achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector. Liquidity risk may result from the lack of an active market, reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income
securities, credit tightening and may be magnified in changing interest rate environments or other
circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income funds may be higher than normal,
causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity. The liquidity of the Fund’s shares may be constrained by the liquidity of the Fund’s portfolio holdings
Derivatives Risk: the risk of investing in derivative instruments (such as forwards, futures, options, swaps and structured
securities) and other similar investments, including leverage, liquidity, interest rate, market,
counterparty (including credit), operational, legal and management risks, and valuation
complexity. Changes in the value of a derivative or other similar investment may not correlate perfectly with, and may be more sensitive to market events than, the underlying asset, rate or index, and the Fund could lose more than
the initial amount invested. Derivatives used for hedging or risk management may not operate as
intended or may expose the Fund to additional risks. Changes in the value of a derivative or
other similar instrument may also create margin delivery or settlement payment obligations for the Fund. The Fund’s use of derivatives or other similar investments may result in losses to the Fund, a reduction in the Fund’s
returns and/or increased volatility. Non-centrally-cleared over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives or other similar investments are also subject to the risk that a counterparty to the transaction will not fulfill its
contractual obligations to the other party, as many of the protections afforded to centrally-cleared derivative transactions might not be available for non-centrally-cleared OTC derivatives or other similar investments.
The primary credit risk on derivatives or other similar investments that are exchange-traded or
traded through a central clearing counterparty resides with the Fund's clearing broker or the
clearinghouse. Changes in regulations relating to a registered fund’s use of derivatives and related instruments could potentially limit or impact the Fund’s ability to invest in derivatives, limit the Fund’s ability
to employ certain strategies that use derivatives or other similar investments and/or adversely affect the value of derivatives or other similar investments and the Fund’s performance
Commodity Risk: the risk that investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments and commodities, either directly or
indirectly through a subsidiary, may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in
traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments or commodities may be affected by changes in overall market movements, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity index volatility, changes in inflation,
interest rates, or supply and demand factors affecting a particular industry or commodity market,
such as drought, floods, climate changes, weather, livestock disease,
pandemics and public health emergencies,
embargoes, taxation, war, terrorism, cyber hacking, economic and political developments,
environmental proceedings, tariffs, sanctions, export controls, changes in storage costs,
availability of transportation systems, and international economic, political and regulatory developments. Investments in commodities can also present risks associated with transportation and delivery, custody, storage and
maintenance, illiquidity, and the unavailability of accurate market valuations of the commodity
Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk: the risks
of investing in mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, extension risk, prepayment risk and credit risk. The Fund may invest in any tranche of mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, including
junior and/or equity tranches (to the extent consistent with the Fund's guidelines), which generally carry higher levels of the foregoing risks
Foreign (Non-U.S.) Investment Risk: the risk that investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due
to smaller or less developed markets, differing financial reporting, accounting, corporate governance and auditing standards, increased risk of delayed settlement of portfolio transactions or loss of certificates
of portfolio securities, and the risk of unfavorable U.S. or foreign government actions, including
nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, currency blockage, political changes,
diplomatic developments, trade restrictions (including tariffs) or the imposition of sanctions and other similar measures. Foreign securities may also be less liquid and more difficult to value than securities of U.S.
issuers
Real Estate Risk: the risk that the Fund’s investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) or real estate-linked derivative instruments will subject the Fund to
risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including risks related to losses from casualty or condemnation, changes in local and general economic conditions, fluctuations in supply and demand, interest
rate changes, availability of mortgage financing and refinancing, defaults by borrowers or tenants,
zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes, insurance costs, lack of
availability of insurance coverage, and operating expenses. The Fund’s investments in REITs or real estate-linked derivative instruments subject it to management and tax risks. In addition, REITs that are privately held or not traded
on a national securities exchange may subject the Fund to liquidity and valuation risk
Emerging Markets Risk: the risk of investing in emerging market securities, primarily increased foreign (non-U.S.) investment
risk
Sovereign Debt Risk: the risk that investments in fixed income instruments issued by sovereign entities may decline in value as a result of default or other adverse credit
events resulting from an issuer’s inability or unwillingness to make principal or interest payments in a timely fashion
Currency Risk: the risk that foreign (non-U.S.) currencies may fluctuate in value relative to the U.S. dollar, which can
affect the value of
