Fund Risks
The Fund is non-diversified and may focus its investments in the securities of a
comparatively small number of issuers. Concentration in securities of a limited
number of issuers exposes a fund to greater market risk and potential monetary
losses than if its assets were diversified among the securities of a greater
number of issuers. The Fund may invest in small- and medium-sized companies
which involve greater risk than investing in larger, more established companies,
such as increased volatility of earnings and prospects, higher failure rates, and
limited markets, product lines or financial resources.
The Fund may invest in foreign or emerging markets securities which involve
special risks, including the volatility of currency exchange rates and, in some
cases, limited geographic focus, political and economic instability, and relatively
illiquid markets.
The Fund may invest in debt securities which are subject to interest rate risk. An
increase in interest rates typically causes a fall in the value of the debt securities
in which the Fund may invest. The Fund may also invest in high yield, lower rated
(junk) bonds which involve a greater degree of risk and price fluctuation than
investment grade bonds in return for higher yield potential. The Fund's distressed
debt strategy may involve a substantial degree of risk, including investments in
sub-prime mortgage securities.
The Fund may purchase securities of companies in initial public offerings.
Special risks associated with these securities may include a limited number of
shares available for trading, unseasoned trading, lack of investor knowledge of
the company and limited operating history. The Fund may leverage transactions
which include selling securities short as well as borrowing for other than
temporary or emergency purposes. Leverage creates the risk of magnified capital
losses.
The Fund may also invest in derivatives which can be volatile and involve various
types and degrees of risks, depending upon the characteristics of a particular
derivative. The Fund may invest in options and futures which are subject to
special risks and may not fully protect the Fund against declines in the value of
its stocks. In addition, an option writing strategy limits the upside profit potential
normally associated with stocks. Futures trading is very speculative, largely due
to the traditional volatility of futures prices.
