RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INVESTING. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. Equity securities are subject to “stock market risk” meaning that stock prices in general (or in particular, the prices of the types of securities in which a portfolio invests) may decline over short or extended periods of time. When the value of a portfolio’s securities goes down, an investment in a fund decreases in value. There is no guarantee that the use of long and short positions will succeed in limiting a strategy’s exposure to domestic stock market movements, capitalization, sector-swings or other risk factors. Investing in emerging markets carry additional risk relative to investments in developed markets.
