Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
Investors should be aware of the risks involved with investing in a fund concentrating in REITs and real estate securities, such as declines in the value of real estate and increased susceptibility to adverse economic or regulatory developments. Investments in infrastructure entities involve greater exposure to the potential adverse economic, regulatory, political and other changes affecting such entities. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in foreign securities involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods.
