Past performance is no assurance of future results. Investment return and market
value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be
worth more or less than their original cost.
Risk Considerations:
The Funds may invest in fixed-income securities of issuers located in countries
considered to be emerging markets. Investments in such securities are considered
speculative. In addition to the general risks of investing in non-U.S.
securities, heightened risks of investing in emerging markets securities
include: smaller market capitalization of securities markets, which may suffer
periods of relative illiquidity; significant price volatility; restrictions on
foreign investment; and possible restrictions on repatriation of investment
income and capital. Furthermore, foreign investors may be required to register
the proceeds of sales, and future economic or political crises could lead to
price controls, forced mergers, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, seizure,
nationalization or creation of government monopolies. The currencies of emerging
market countries may experience significant declines against the U.S. dollar,
and devaluation may occur subsequent to investments in these currencies by the
Fund. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates have had, and may
continue to have, negative effects on the economies and securities markets of
certain emerging market countries.
