There are risks involved with investing in ETFs including possible loss of
money. Shares are not actively managed and are subject to risk similar to
stocks and covered call options, as well as those risks related to short
selling and margin maintenance. Ordinary brokerage commissions apply.
Shares are not FDIC insured, may lose value and have no bank guarantee.
Small and Medium-Sized Company Risk Information
An investment in securities of small and medium-sized companies involves
greater risk than is customarily associated with investing in more
established, larger sized companies.
Foreign Risk Information
An investment in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves risks beyond
those associated with investments in U.S. securities, including, but not
limited to: greater market volatility, the availability of less reliable
financial information, higher transactional and custody costs, taxation by
foreign governments, decreased market liquidity, political instability,
negative impact of changes in currency exchange rates or foreign
governmental regulation, currency risk, fluctuation due to changes in
interest rates, effects of monetary policies issued by the United States,
foreign governments, central banks or supranational entities and currency
controls or other national or global political economic developments, among
others.
Non-Diversified Fund Risk Information
The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of
assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a
result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause
greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a diversified fund.
Industry and Sector Risk
When a Fund is focused in a specific industry or sector, it presents
greater risks than if it were broadly diversified over numerous industries
and sectors of the economy. There are additional risks associated with
investing in companies involved in the transportation industry. Please read
the prospectus for a summary of these risks pertaining to each industry or
sector.
