The value of investments and the income from them, and therefore the value of and income from Shares relating to each Fund can go down as well as up and an investor may not get back the amount he invests. Changes in exchange rates between currencies or the conversion from one currency to another may also cause the value of the investments to diminish or increase. An investment in a Fund should not constitute a substantial proportion of an investment portfolio and may not be appropriate for all investors.  For further discussion of risk factors, refer to the Risk Factors section of the Company’s prospectus and the applicable Fund’s Supplement to the Prospectus.
