Important Fund Risk Disclosure

Global Value Fund
International investments involve special risks, including currency fluctuation, lower liquidity, different accounting methods and economic and political systems, and higher transaction costs. These risks typically are greater in emerging markets. Stocks of medium-sized companies tend to be more volatile than those of large companies, and have underperformed the stocks of small and large companies during some periods. Value stocks may underperform other asset types during a given period. These risks are discussed in the prospectus. Please read it carefully before you invest or send money.

The Fund may invest in debt securities that may be unrated or lower-rated and tend to have speculative characteristics, including risk of default and bankruptcy. These securities are likely to be less marketable and more adversely affected by economic downturns than higher quality debt securities.

The Fund may hold convertible securities, the value of which will vary based on the perceived value of the equity security underlying the convertible security. Convertible securities are frequently issued with a call feature that could result in the Fund being forced to redeem, convert, or sell the convertible security under circumstances unfavorable to the Fund. In addition, if the value of the underlying security declines enough in value, the convertible security is more likely to be valued as a debt security, subject to the debt security risks described above.
