The Funds are not suitable for all investors. There are
risks involved with investing in ETFs, including the loss of money.
The Funds are non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of
assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund.
As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment
could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in
a diversified fund.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are bought and sold
through exchange trading at market price (not NAV) and are not
individually redeemed from the Fund. Shares
may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary
market. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. "Authorized
participants" may trade directly with the Fund, typically in blocks
of 10,000 shares.
Funds that emphasize investments in small/mid-cap companies will
generally experience greater price volatility. Diversification does
not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses. ETFs are
considered to have continuous liquidity because they allow for an
individual to trade throughout the day. A higher portfolio turnover
rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher
taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs,
which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses, affect
the Fund’s performance.
