| 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 those of stocks, including those related to short selling and margin maintenance. Ordinary brokerage commissions may apply. |
| Investments in the securities of issuers in emerging market countries involve risks not associated
with investments in the securities of issuers in developed countries. Emerging markets are subject
to greater market volatility, lower trading volume, political and economic instability, uncertainty
regarding the existence of trading markets and more governmental limitations on foreign investment
than more developed markets. In addition, securities in emerging markets may be subject to greater
price fluctuations than securities in more developed markets. |
| 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 change in currency
exchange rates or foreign governmental regulation. |
| Investments in sovereign debt securities involve
special risks. The governmental authority that
controls the repayment of the debt may be
unwilling or unable to repay the principal and/
or interest when due in accordance with the
terms of such securities due to: the extent of
its foreign reserves; the availability of sufficient
foreign exchange on the date a payment is due;
the relative size of the debt service burden to
the economy as a whole; or the government
debtor's policy toward the International Monetary
Fund and the political constraints to which a
government debtor may be subject. If an issuer
of sovereign debt defaults on payments of
principal and/or interest, the Fund may have
limited legal recourse against the issuer and/
or guarantor. In certain cases, remedies must
be pursued in the courts of the defaulting party
itself, and the Fund's ability to obtain recourse
may be limited. Government obligors in emerging
market countries are among the world's largest
debtors to commercial banks, other governments,
international financial organizations and other
financial institutions. Historically, certain
issuers of the government debt securities in
which the Fund may invest have experienced
substantial difficulties in meeting their external
debt obligations, resulting in defaults on certain
obligations and the restructuring of certain
indebtedness. Such restructuring arrangements
have included obtaining additional credit to
finance outstanding obligation and the reduction
and rescheduling of payments of interest and
principal through the negotiation of new or
amended credit agreements. Please see the
prospectus for more complete information
regarding the risks of investing in emerging
markets and sovereign debt. |
