Risk considerations

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Past Performance does not guarantee future results. All financial investments involve an element of risk. Therefore, the value of the investment and the income from it will vary and the initial investment amount cannot be guaranteed. 

Asset allocation and diversification do not ensure a profit or protect against a loss. International and global investing involves greater risks such as currency fluctuations, political/social instability and differing accounting standards. Fixed-income investments are subject to interest rate risk; as interest rates rise their value will decline. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to state and/or local taxes, and it may be subject to federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) for certain investors. Risks of preferred securities differ from risks inherent in other investments. In particular, in a bankruptcy preferred securities are senior to common stock but subordinate to other corporate debt. Lower-rated securities are subject to additional credit and default risks. Potential investors should be aware that Investment grade corporate bonds carry credit risks, default risk, liquidity risks, currency risks, operational risks, legal risks, counterparty risk and valuation risks.
