The Funds invest in foreign securities which will involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and difference in accounting methods. The Funds are non-diversified meaning they may concentrate their assets in fewer individual holdings than diversified funds. Therefore, the Funds are more exposed to individual stock volatility than diversified funds. The Asia Focus Fund and Alternative Energy Fund also invest in smaller companies, which will involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility.
