Mutual Funds involve risk including possible loss of principal.

The Fund’s indirect and direct exposure to foreign currencies subjects the Fund to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. Dollar, or, in the case of short positions, that the U.S. Dollar will decline in value relative to the currency that the Fund is short. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates and the imposition of currency controls or other political developments in the U.S. or abroad. In addition, the Fund may incur transaction costs in connection with conversions between various currencies. The Fund will invest a percentage of its assets in derivatives, such as futures and options contracts. The use of such derivatives may expose the Fund to additional risks that it would not be subject to if it invested directly in the securities and commodities underlying those derivatives. The Fund may experience losses that exceed losses experienced by funds that do not use futures contracts and options. There may be an imperfect correlation between the changes in market value of the securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures and options on futures. Although futures contracts are generally liquid instruments, under certain market conditions there may not always be a liquid secondary market for a futures contract. As a result, the Fund may be unable to close out its futures contracts at a time which is advantageous. Trading restrictions or limitations may be imposed by an exchange, and government regulations may restrict trading in futures contracts and options. Because option premiums paid or received by the Fund are small in relation to the market value of the investments underlying the options, buying and selling put and call options can be more speculative than investing directly in securities. Over-the-counter transactions are subject to little, if any, regulation and may be subject to the risk of counterparty default. A portion of the Fund’s assets may be used to trade OTC commodity interest contracts, such as forward contracts, option contracts in foreign currencies and other commodities, or swaps or spot contracts. A substantial portion of the trades of the global macro programs are expected to take place on markets or exchanges outside the United States. Some foreign markets present additional risk, because they are not subject to the same degree of regulation as their U.S. counterparts. Trading on foreign exchanges is subject to the risks presented by exchange controls, expropriation, increased tax burdens and exposure to local economic declines and political instability. An adverse development with respect to any of these variables could reduce the profit or increase the loss earned on trades in the affected international markets. International trading activities are subject to foreign exchange risk. The Fund may employ leverage and may invest in leveraged instruments. The more the Fund invests in leveraged instruments, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those investments. Leverage will cause the value of the Fund’s shares to be more volatile than if the Fund did not use leverage. The Fund may take short positions, directly and indirectly through the Subsidiary, in derivatives. If a derivative in which the Fund has a short position increases in price, the underlying Fund may have to cover its short position at a higher price than the short sale price, resulting in a loss.
