Consumer
Discretionary Sector Risk. To the extent
that the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in the consumer discretionary
sector, the Fund will be particularly susceptible to the risks associated with companies operating in such |
|
|
sector.
Companies in the consumer discretionary sector are subject to risks, including fluctuations in the performance of the overall
domestic and international economy, shipment and supply chain disruptions, interest rate changes, currency exchange
rates, increased competition and consumer confidence. Performance of such companies may also be adversely affected
by factors such as reduced disposable household income, reduced consumer spending, and changing demographics
and consumer tastes. |

sector, such as rapid changes in technology product cycles, product obsolescence, government regulation, and competition,
and may fluctuate more than that of a fund that does not invest significantly in companies in the technology sector.

Equity
Securities. In general, prices of equity
securities are more volatile than those of fixed-income securities. U.S. and foreign
stock markets, and equity securities of individual issuers, have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the
past and it is possible that they will do so again in the future. The prices of equity securities fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or
widely, in response to activities specific to the issuer of the security as well as factors unrelated to the fundamental condition
of the issuer, including general market, economic, political and public health conditions. During periods when equity
securities experience heightened volatility, such as during periods of market, economic or financial uncertainty or distress,
the Fund’s investments in equity securities are subject to heightened risks. |
| |
The
value of equity securities and
related instruments decline in response to
perceived or actual adverse changes in the economy,
economic outlook or financial markets; deterioration in investor sentiment; inflation, interest rate, currency, and commodity
price fluctuations; adverse geopolitical, social or environmental developments; issuer- and sector-specific considerations;
unexpected trading activity among retail investors; and other factors. Market conditions affect certain types of
equity securities to a greater extent than other types of equity securities. If the stock market declines, the value of the Fund’s
equity securities will also likely decline, which will result in a decrease in the value of your investment in the Fund. Although
prices can rebound, there is no assurance that prices of the Fund’s equity securities will return to previous levels.

Private
Placements and Restricted Securities.
The Fund’s investments may include privately placed and restricted securities,
which are generally subject to resale or transfer restrictions or prohibitions. Private placements and restricted securities
may not be listed on an exchange and may have no active trading market. The Fund may be unable to dispose of privately
placed and restricted securities promptly or may be able to sell privately placed and restricted securities only at disadvantageous
times or prices, especially under adverse market or economic conditions or in the event of adverse changes
in the financial condition of the issuer. There is no assurance that a liquid market will exist for privately placed and restricted
securities and these securities could have the effect of increasing the level of Fund illiquidity. In addition, the market
for certain investments deemed liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid under adverse market or economic
conditions. Restricted securities, including privately placed securities, may be difficult to value and may experience
significant price volatility, and there is typically less information available about issuers of private placements and
restricted securities and there is no assurance that the information obtained by the Adviser is reliable. Private placements
and restricted securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses
to the Fund. |

Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities. Investments
in foreign markets entail special risks, such as currency, political (including
geopolitical), economic and market risks and heightened risks, that may result in losses to the Fund. There also may
be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, less stringent investor protections and disclosure standards,
higher transaction and custody costs and risks, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation
associated with investments in foreign markets. In addition, investments in certain foreign markets that have historically
been considered stable may become more volatile and subject to increased risk due to developments and changing
conditions in such markets. Moreover, the growing interconnectivity of global economies and financial markets has
increased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies
and financial markets in other countries or regions. Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries
or foreign capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military or other
conflicts), the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, companies, entities
and/or individuals, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers (including tariffs) and other protectionist or
retaliatory measures. Investments in foreign markets may also be adversely affected by governmental interventions or other
actions,
such as the imposition of capital controls, nationalization of companies or industries, expropriation of assets or
the imposition of punitive taxes. The governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign
investing in their capital markets or in certain sectors or industries. In addition, a foreign government may limit or cause
delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity
of investments denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid and decline in value
in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly
during periods of market, economic, political and social turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio
may be harder to value. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks associated with
investments in foreign developed countries. Certain
emerging market countries may be subject to
less
stringent requirements regarding accounting,
auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related
to an investment may not be available or reliable. Certain
emerging market or developing countries are among the largest
debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment
of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance with
the terms of such obligations. In addition, foreign governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders
of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments. Moreover, there
is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part.
In addition, the Fund is limited in its ability
to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside
of the United States, in particular, in emerging market countries. In addition, the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers
may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged, the value of those investments will
fluctuate with U.S. dollar exchange rates. Economic sanctions or other similar measures may be, and have been, imposed
against certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar
measures could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell securities (in
the sanctioned country and other markets), negatively impact the value or liquidity of the Fund’s investments, significantly
delay or prevent the settlement of the Fund’s securities transactions, force the Fund to sell or otherwise dispose
of investments at inopportune times or prices, or impair the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in
accordance with its investment strategies. |

Foreign
Currency Forward Exchange Contracts. To
the extent the Fund seeks to hedge its foreign currency exposure by the
use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, the precise matching of the foreign currency forward exchange contract
amounts and the value of the securities involved will not generally be possible because the future value of such securities
in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements in the value of those securities between the
date on which the contract is entered into and the date it matures. There is additional risk that such transactions may reduce
or preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the currency should move in the direction opposite to the position taken
and that foreign currency forward exchange contracts create exposure to currencies in which the Fund’s securities are
not denominated. The use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts involves the risks associated with derivatives and
the risk of loss from the insolvency or bankruptcy of the counterparty to the contract or the failure of the counterparty to
make payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the contract. |

Liquidity.
The Fund may make investments that are less liquid, illiquid or restricted or that may become illiquid or less liquid in
response to overall economic conditions or adverse investor perceptions, and which may entail greater risk than investments
in other types of securities. These investments may be more difficult to value or sell, particularly in times of market
turmoil, and there may be little trading in the secondary market available for particular securities. If the Fund is forced
to sell an illiquid or restricted security to fund redemptions or for other cash needs, it may be forced to sell the security
at a loss or for less than its fair value and may be unable to sell the security at all. |

Focused
Investing. Although the Fund is a diversified
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940
Act”), the Fund typically invests a significant portion of its portfolio in a limited number of issuers, which may be in the same
industry, sector or geographic region. As a result, the Fund will be more susceptible to risks associated with, and negative
events affecting those issuers, industries, sectors or geographic regions, and a decline in the value of a particular instrument
may cause the Fund’s overall value to be more volatile and decline to a greater degree than if the Fund were invested
more widely. |

|
| Risk [Text Block] |
|
● |
Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which
change due to economic, geopolitical and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those
that affect or are perceived or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset
classes or governments. These types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or
income generated by) and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities
and/or its ability to meet redemptions. The risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social,
political, economic and other conditions and events (such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics,
terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions and the threat
and/or actual imposition of tariffs, trade
barriers and other protectionist or retaliatory measures) adversely interrupt or
otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets. It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global
financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects (which
may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations
and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely
affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price
and exacerbate pre-existing risks to the Fund. The frequency
and magnitude of resulting changes in the value of the Fund’s investments cannot be predicted. |

Active
Management Risk. In pursuing the Fund’s
investment objective, the Adviser has considerable leeway in deciding which
investments to buy, hold or sell on a day-to-day basis, and which trading strategies to use. For example, the Adviser, in
its discretion, may determine to use some permitted trading strategies while not using others. The success or failure of such
decisions will affect the Fund’s performance. |

Healthcare
Sector Risk. The profitability of companies
in the healthcare sector may be adversely affected by, among other things,
extensive government regulation, restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical
products and services, pricing pressure, costs associated with obtaining and protecting patents, product liability and
other claims, an increased emphasis on outpatient services, changes in the demand for medical products and services, a
limited number of products, industry innovation, changes in technologies and other market, economic and public health developments.
To the extent that the Fund concentrates its investments in one or more individual industries comprising the healthcare
sector (such as, but not limited to, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment and supplies, healthcare technology,
healthcare providers and services, and life sciences tools and services companies), the Fund will be particularly susceptible
to the risks associated with such industry or industries, which may include the risks described above as well as other
risks specific to such industry or industries. |

ETFs.
Shares of ETFs have many of the same risks as direct investments in common stocks or bonds and their market value may
differ from their NAV because the supply and demand in the market for ETF shares at any point in time is not always identical
to the supply and demand in the market for the underlying securities. As a shareholder in an ETF, the Fund would bear
its ratable share of that entity’s expenses while continuing to pay its own investment management fees and other expenses.
As a result, the Fund and its shareholders will, in effect, be absorbing fees at two levels. Furthermore, disruptions in
the markets for the securities underlying ETFs purchased or sold by the Fund could result in losses on the Fund’s investment
in ETFs. |

Technology Sector Risk. To the extent
the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in the information technology
sector, the value of Fund shares may be particularly impacted by events that adversely affect the information technology
sector, such as rapid changes in technology product cycles, product obsolescence, government regulation, and competition,

Equity
Securities. In general, prices of equity
securities are more volatile than those of fixed-income securities. U.S. and foreign
stock markets, and equity securities of individual issuers, have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the
past and it is possible that they will do so again in the future. The prices of equity securities fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or
widely, in response to activities specific to the issuer of the security as well as factors unrelated to the fundamental condition
of the issuer, including general market, economic, political and public health conditions. During periods when equity
securities experience heightened volatility, such as during periods of market, economic or financial uncertainty or distress,
the Fund’s investments in equity securities are subject to heightened risks. |
| |
The
value of equity securities and
related instruments decline in response to
perceived or actual adverse changes in the economy,
economic outlook or financial markets; deterioration in investor sentiment; inflation, interest rate, currency, and commodity
price fluctuations; adverse geopolitical, social or environmental developments; issuer- and sector-specific considerations;
unexpected trading activity among retail investors; and other factors. Market conditions affect certain types of
equity securities to a greater extent than other types of equity securities. If the stock market declines, the value of the Fund’s
equity securities will also likely decline, which will result in a decrease in the value of your investment in the Fund. Although
prices can rebound, there is no assurance that prices of the Fund’s equity securities will return to previous levels.

Private
Placements and Restricted Securities.
The Fund’s investments may include privately placed and restricted securities,
which are generally subject to resale or transfer restrictions or prohibitions. Private placements and restricted securities
may not be listed on an exchange and may have no active trading market. The Fund may be unable to dispose of privately
placed and restricted securities promptly or may be able to sell privately placed and restricted securities only at disadvantageous
times or prices, especially under adverse market or economic conditions or in the event of adverse changes
in the financial condition of the issuer. There is no assurance that a liquid market will exist for privately placed and restricted
securities and these securities could have the effect of increasing the level of Fund illiquidity. In addition, the market
for certain investments deemed liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid under adverse market or economic
conditions. Restricted securities, including privately placed securities, may be difficult to value and may experience
significant price volatility, and there is typically less information available about issuers of private placements and
restricted securities and there is no assurance that the information obtained by the Adviser is reliable. Private placements
and restricted securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses
to the Fund. |

Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities.
Investments in foreign markets entail special risks, such as currency, political (including
geopolitical), economic and market risks and heightened risks, that may result in losses to the Fund. There also may
be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, less stringent investor protections and disclosure standards,
higher transaction and custody costs and risks, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation
associated with investments in foreign markets. In addition, investments in certain foreign markets that have historically
been considered stable may become more volatile and subject to increased risk due to developments and changing
conditions in such markets. Moreover, the growing interconnectivity of global economies and financial markets has
increased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies
and financial markets in other countries or regions. Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries
or foreign capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military or other
conflicts), the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, companies, entities
and/or individuals, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers (including tariffs) and other protectionist or
retaliatory measures. Investments in foreign markets may also be adversely affected by governmental interventions or other
actions, such as the imposition of capital controls, nationalization of companies or industries, expropriation of assets or
the imposition of punitive taxes. The governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign
investing in their capital markets or in certain sectors or industries. In addition, a foreign government may limit or cause
delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity
of investments denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid and decline in value
in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly
during periods of market, economic, political and social turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio
may be harder to value. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks associated with
investments in foreign developed countries. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements
regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related
to an investment may not be available or reliable. Certain
emerging market or developing countries are among the largest
debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment
of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance with
the terms of such obligations. In addition, foreign governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders
of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments. Moreover, there
is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part.
In addition, the Fund
is limited in its ability to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside
of the United States, in particular, in emerging market countries. In addition, the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers
may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged, the value of those investments will
fluctuate with U.S. dollar exchange rates. Economic sanctions or other similar measures may be, and have been, imposed
against certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar
measures could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell securities
|
|
|
(in
the sanctioned country and other markets), negatively impact the value or liquidity of the Fund’s investments, significantly
delay or prevent the settlement of the Fund’s securities transactions, force the Fund to sell or otherwise dispose
of investments at inopportune times or prices, or impair the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in
accordance with its investment strategies. |

Foreign
Currency Forward Exchange Contracts. To
the extent the Fund seeks to hedge its foreign currency exposure by the
use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, the precise matching of the foreign currency forward exchange contract
amounts and the value of the securities involved will not generally be possible because the future value of such securities
in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements in the value of those securities between the
date on which the contract is entered into and the date it matures. There is additional risk that such transactions may reduce
or preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the currency should move in the direction opposite to the position taken
and that foreign currency forward exchange contracts create exposure to currencies in which the Fund’s securities are
not denominated. The use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts involves the risks associated with derivatives and
the risk of loss from the insolvency or bankruptcy of the counterparty to the contract or the failure of the counterparty to
make payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the contract. |

The Fund may make investments that are less liquid, illiquid or restricted or that may become illiquid or less liquid in
response to overall economic conditions or adverse investor perceptions, and which may entail greater risk than investments
in other types of securities. These investments may be more difficult to value or sell, particularly in times of market
turmoil, and there may be little trading in the secondary market available for particular securities. If the Fund is forced
to sell an illiquid or restricted security to fund redemptions or for other cash needs, it may be forced to sell the security
at a loss or for less than its fair value and may be unable to sell the security at all. |

investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940

events affecting those issuers, industries, sectors or geographic regions, and a decline in the value of a particular instrument
may cause the Fund’s overall value to be more volatile and decline to a greater degree than if the Fund were invested
more widely. |

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which
change due to economic, geopolitical and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those
that affect or are perceived or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset
classes or governments. These types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or
income generated by) and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities
and/or its ability to meet redemptions. The risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social,
political, economic and other conditions and events (such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics,
terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions and the threat
and/or actual imposition of tariffs, trade
barriers and other protectionist or retaliatory measures) adversely interrupt or
otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets. It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global
financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects (which
may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations
and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely
affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price
and exacerbate pre-existing risks to the Fund. The frequency
and magnitude of resulting changes in the value of the Fund’s investments cannot be predicted. |

Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities.
Investments in foreign markets entail special risks, such as currency, political (including
geopolitical), economic and market risks and heightened risks, that may result in losses to the Fund. There also may
be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, less stringent investor protections and disclosure standards,
higher transaction and custody costs and risks, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation
associated with investments in foreign markets. In addition, investments in certain foreign markets that have historically
been considered stable may become more volatile and subject to increased risk due to developments and changing
conditions in such markets. Moreover, the growing interconnectivity of global economies and financial markets has
increased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies
and financial markets in other countries or regions. Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries
or foreign capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military or other
conflicts), the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, companies, entities
and/or individuals, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers (including tariffs) and other protectionist or
retaliatory measures. Investments in foreign markets may also be adversely affected by governmental interventions or other
actions, such as the imposition of capital controls, nationalization of companies or industries, expropriation of assets or
the imposition of punitive taxes. The governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign
investing in their capital markets or in certain sectors or industries. In addition, a foreign government may limit or cause
delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity
of investments denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid and decline in value
in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly
during periods of market, economic, political and social turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio
may be harder to value. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks associated with
investments in foreign developed countries. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements
regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related
to an investment may not be available or reliable. Certain
emerging market or developing countries are among the largest
debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment
of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance with
the terms of such obligations. In addition, foreign governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders
of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments. Moreover, there
is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part.
In addition, the Fund
is limited in its ability to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside
of the United States, in particular, in emerging market countries. In addition, the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers
may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged, the value of those investments will
fluctuate with U.S. dollar exchange rates. Economic sanctions or other similar measures may be, and have been, imposed
against certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar
measures could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell securities (in
the sanctioned country and other markets), negatively impact the value or liquidity of the Fund’s investments, significantly
delay or prevent the settlement of the Fund’s securities transactions, force the Fund to sell or otherwise dispose
of investments at inopportune times or prices, or impair the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in
accordance with its investment strategies. |

Foreign
Currency Forward Exchange Contracts. To
the extent the Fund seeks to hedge its foreign currency exposure by the
use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, the precise matching of the foreign currency forward exchange contract
amounts and the value of the securities involved will not generally be possible because the future value of such securities
in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements in the value of those securities between the
date on which the contract is entered into and the date it matures. There is additional risk that such transactions may
|
|
|
reduce
or preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the currency should move in the direction opposite to the position taken
and that foreign currency forward exchange contracts create exposure to currencies in which the Fund’s securities are
not denominated. The use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts involves the risks associated with derivatives and
the risk of loss from the insolvency or bankruptcy of the counterparty to the contract or the failure of the counterparty to
make payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the contract. |

Liquidity.
The Fund may make investments that are less liquid, illiquid or restricted or that may become illiquid or less liquid in
response to overall economic conditions or adverse investor perceptions, and which may entail greater risk than investments
in other types of securities. These investments may be more difficult to value or sell, particularly in times of market
turmoil, and there may be little trading in the secondary market available for particular securities. If the Fund is forced
to sell an illiquid or restricted security to fund redemptions or for other cash needs, it may be forced to sell the security
at a loss or for less than its fair value and may be unable to sell the security at all. |

Focused
Investing. Although the Fund is a diversified
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940
Act”), the Fund typically invests a significant portion of its portfolio in a limited number of issuers, which may be in the same
industry, sector or geographic region. As a result, the Fund will be more susceptible to risks associated with, and negative
events affecting those issuers, industries, sectors or geographic regions, and a decline in the value of a particular instrument
may cause the Fund’s overall value to be more volatile and decline to a greater degree than if the Fund were invested
more widely. |

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which
change due to economic, geopolitical and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those
that affect or are perceived or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset
classes or governments. These types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or
income generated by) and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities
and/or its ability to meet redemptions. The risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social,
political, economic and other conditions and events (such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics,
terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions and the threat
and/or actual imposition of tariffs, trade
barriers and other protectionist or retaliatory measures) adversely interrupt or
otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets. It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global
financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects (which
may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations
and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely
affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price
and exacerbate pre-existing risks to the Fund. The frequency
and magnitude of resulting changes in the value of the Fund’s investments cannot be predicted. |

Equity
Securities. In general, prices of equity
securities are more volatile than those of fixed-income securities. U.S. and foreign
stock markets, and equity securities of individual issuers, have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the
past and it is possible that they will do so again in the future. The prices of equity securities fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or
widely, in response to activities specific to the issuer of the security as well as factors unrelated to the fundamental condition
of the issuer, including general market, economic, political and public health conditions. During periods when equity
securities experience heightened volatility, such as during periods of market, economic or financial uncertainty or distress,
the Fund’s investments in equity securities are subject to heightened risks. |

The
value of equity securities and
related instruments decline in response to
perceived or actual adverse changes in the economy,
economic outlook or financial markets; deterioration in investor sentiment; inflation, interest rate, currency, and commodity
price fluctuations; adverse geopolitical, social or environmental developments; issuer- and sector-specific considerations;
unexpected trading activity among retail investors; and other factors. Market conditions affect certain types of
equity securities to a greater extent than other types of equity securities. If the stock market declines, the value of the Fund’s
equity securities will also likely decline, which will result in a decrease in the value of your investment in the Fund. Although
prices can rebound, there is no assurance that prices of the Fund’s equity securities will return to previous levels.

in the financial condition of the issuer. There is no assurance that a liquid market will exist for privately placed and restricted

delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity
of investments denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid and decline in value
in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly
during periods of market, economic, political and social turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio
may be harder to value. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks associated with
investments in foreign developed countries. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements
regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related
to an investment may not be available or reliable. Certain
emerging market or developing countries are among the largest
debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment
of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance with
the terms of such obligations. In addition, foreign governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders
of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments. Moreover, there
is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part.
In addition, the Fund
is limited in its ability to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside
of the United States, in particular, in emerging market countries. In addition, the Fund’s investments in foreign
|
|
|
issuers
may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged, the value of those investments will
fluctuate with U.S. dollar exchange rates. Economic sanctions or other similar measures may be, and have been, imposed
against certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar
measures could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell securities (in
the sanctioned country and other markets), negatively impact the value or liquidity of the Fund’s investments, significantly
delay or prevent the settlement of the Fund’s securities transactions, force the Fund to sell or otherwise dispose
of investments at inopportune times or prices, or impair the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in
accordance with its investment strategies. |

Foreign
Currency Forward Exchange Contracts. To
the extent the Fund seeks to hedge its foreign currency exposure by the
use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, the precise matching of the foreign currency forward exchange contract
amounts and the value of the securities involved will not generally be possible because the future value of such securities
in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements in the value of those securities between the
date on which the contract is entered into and the date it matures. There is additional risk that such transactions may reduce
or preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the currency should move in the direction opposite to the position taken
and that foreign currency forward exchange contracts create exposure to currencies in which the Fund’s securities are
not denominated. The use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts involves the risks associated with derivatives and
the risk of loss from the insolvency or bankruptcy of the counterparty to the contract or the failure of the counterparty to
make payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the contract. |

The Fund may make investments that are less liquid, illiquid or restricted or that may become illiquid or less liquid in
response to overall economic conditions or adverse investor perceptions, and which may entail greater risk than investments
in other types of securities. These investments may be more difficult to value or sell, particularly in times of market

to sell an illiquid or restricted security to fund redemptions or for other cash needs, it may be forced to sell the security
at a loss or for less than its fair value and may be unable to sell the security at all. |

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which
change due to economic, geopolitical and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those
that affect or are perceived or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset
classes or governments. These types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or
income generated by) and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities
and/or its ability to meet redemptions. The risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social,
political, economic and other conditions and events (such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and |

may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations
and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely
affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price

Equity
Securities. In general, prices of equity
securities are more volatile than those of fixed-income securities. U.S. and foreign
stock markets, and equity securities of individual issuers, have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the
past and it is possible that they will do so again in the future. The prices of equity securities fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or
widely, in response to activities specific to the issuer of the security as well as factors unrelated to the fundamental condition
of the issuer, including general market, economic, political and public health conditions. During periods when equity
securities experience heightened volatility, such as during periods of market, economic or financial uncertainty or distress,
the Fund’s investments in equity securities are subject to heightened risks. |
| |
The
value of equity securities and
related instruments decline in response to
perceived or actual adverse changes in the economy,
economic outlook or financial markets; deterioration in investor sentiment; inflation, interest rate, currency, and commodity
price fluctuations; adverse geopolitical, social or environmental developments; issuer- and sector-specific considerations;
unexpected trading activity among retail investors; and other factors. Market conditions affect certain types of
equity securities to a greater extent than other types of equity securities. If the stock market declines, the value of the Fund’s
equity securities will also likely decline, which will result in a decrease in the value of your investment in the Fund. Although
prices can rebound, there is no assurance that prices of the Fund’s equity securities will return to previous levels.

a bond, debenture, note, preferred stock, right, warrant or other security that

Private
Placements and Restricted Securities.
The Fund’s investments may include privately placed and restricted securities,
which are generally subject to resale or transfer restrictions or prohibitions. Private placements and restricted securities
may not be listed on an exchange and may have no active trading market. The Fund may be unable to dispose of privately
placed and restricted securities promptly or may be able to sell privately placed and restricted securities only at disadvantageous
times or prices, especially under adverse market or economic conditions or in the event of adverse changes
in the financial condition of the issuer. There is no assurance that a liquid market will exist for privately placed and restricted
securities and these securities could have the effect of increasing the level of Fund illiquidity. In addition, the market
for certain investments deemed liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid under adverse market or economic
conditions. Restricted securities, including privately placed securities, may be difficult to value and may experience
significant price volatility, and there is typically less information available about issuers of private placements and
restricted securities and there is no assurance that the information obtained by the Adviser is reliable. Private placements
and restricted securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses
to the Fund. |

Preferred
Securities. Preferred
securities have many of the characteristics of and are subject to many of the risks associated
with both fixed-income securities and equity securities. Preferred securities may pay fixed or adjustable rates of return.
As with fixed-income securities, the market value of preferred securities is sensitive to changes in interest rates. Preferred
securities generally decrease in value if interest rates rise and increase in value if interest rates fall. In addition, preferred
securities are also subject to risks applicable generally to equity securities, such as issuer-specific and market risks.
A company’s preferred securities generally pay dividends only after the company makes required payments to |
|
|
holders
of its bonds and other debt, so the value of preferred securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and other
debt to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. |

ETFs.
Shares of ETFs have many of the same risks as direct investments in common stocks or bonds and their market value may
differ from their NAV because the supply and demand in the market for ETF shares at any point in time is not always identical
to the supply and demand in the market for the underlying securities. As a shareholder in an ETF, the Fund would bear
its ratable share of that entity’s expenses while continuing to pay its own investment management fees and other expenses.
As a result, the Fund and its shareholders will, in effect, be absorbing fees at two levels. Furthermore, disruptions in
the markets for the securities underlying ETFs purchased or sold by the Fund could result in losses on the Fund’s investment
in ETFs. |

Healthcare
Concentration Risk. The Fund will concentrate
its investments in the group of industries comprising the healthcare
sector and, from time to time, may concentrate its investments in one or more individual industries in the group of
industries comprising the healthcare sector. By concentrating its investments in the group of industries comprising the healthcare
sector, the Fund has greater exposure to the potential adverse economic, regulatory, political and other changes affecting
companies operating within such sector. The profitability of companies in the healthcare sector may be adversely affected
by, among other things, extensive government regulation, restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses,
rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure, costs associated with obtaining and protecting patents,
product liability and other claims, an increased emphasis on outpatient services, changes in the demand for medical
products and services, a limited number of products, industry innovation, changes in technologies and other market,
economic and public health developments. To the extent that the Fund concentrates its investments in one or more individual
industries comprising the healthcare sector (such as, but not limited to, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment
and supplies, healthcare technology, healthcare providers and services, and life sciences tools and services companies),
the Fund will be particularly susceptible to the risks associated with such industry or industries. |
| |
Biotechnology,
healthcare technology, pharmaceutical and life sciences tools and services companies are heavily dependent
on patents and intellectual property rights and the loss or impairment of such rights will negatively impact a company’s
profitability. In addition, these companies are subject to the risk of new technologies and competition, large expenditures
on research and development of products and services that may not prove commercially successful, regulations
and restrictions imposed by the Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, state and local
governments and foreign regulatory authorities, and thin capitalization. Medical equipment and supply companies are heavily
dependent on patent protection and may be subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims.
In addition, medical equipment companies are subject to the risk that products can become obsolete due to industry innovation,
changes in technology or other market developments, and may not receive necessary regulatory approvals to become
commercially viable. Healthcare providers and services companies are particularly subject to certain risks, including
restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, an increased emphasis on outpatient services, rising
costs of medical products and public health conditions. |

Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities.
Investments in foreign markets entail special risks, such as currency, political (including
geopolitical), economic and market risks and heightened risks, that may result in losses to the Fund. There also may
be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, less stringent investor protections and disclosure standards,
higher transaction and custody costs and risks, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation
associated with investments in foreign markets. In addition, investments in certain foreign markets that have historically
been considered stable may become more volatile and subject to increased risk due to developments and changing
conditions in such markets. Moreover, the growing interconnectivity of global economies and financial markets has
increased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies
and financial markets in other countries or regions. Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries
or foreign capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military or |
|
|
other
conflicts), the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, companies, entities
and/or individuals, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers (including tariffs) and other protectionist or
retaliatory measures. Investments in foreign markets may also be adversely affected by governmental interventions or other
actions, such as the imposition of capital controls, nationalization of companies or industries, expropriation of assets or
the imposition of punitive taxes. The governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign
investing in their capital markets or in certain sectors or industries. In addition, a foreign government may limit or cause
delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity
of investments denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid and decline in value
in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly
during periods of market, economic, political and social turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio
may be harder to value. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks associated with
investments in foreign developed countries. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements
regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related
to an investment may not be available or reliable. Certain
emerging market or developing countries are among the largest
debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment
of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance with
the terms of such obligations. In addition, foreign governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders
of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments. Moreover, there
is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part.
In addition, the Fund
is limited in its ability to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside
of the United States, in particular, in emerging market countries. In addition, the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers
may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged, the value of those investments will

increased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies
and financial markets in other countries or regions. Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries
or foreign capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military, or other
conflicts), the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, companies, entities
and/or individuals, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers (including tariffs) and other protectionist or
retaliatory measures. Investments in foreign markets may also be adversely affected by governmental interventions or other
actions, such as the imposition of capital controls, nationalization of companies or industries, expropriation of assets or
the imposition of punitive taxes. The governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign
investing in their capital markets or in certain sectors or industries. In addition, a foreign government may limit or cause
delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value and/or |
|
|
liquidity
of investments denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid and decline in value
in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly
during periods of market, economic, political and social turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio
may be harder to value. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks associated with
investments in foreign developed countries. Certain
emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements
regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related
to an investment may not be available or reliable. Certain emerging market or developing countries are among the largest
debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment
of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance with
the terms of such obligations. In addition, foreign governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders
of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments. Moreover, there
is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part.
In addition, the Fund
is limited in its ability to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside
of the United States, in particular, in emerging market countries. In addition, the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers
may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged, the value of those investments will
fluctuate with U.S. dollar exchange rates. Economic sanctions or other similar measures may be, and have been, imposed
against certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar
measures could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell securities (in
the sanctioned country and other markets), negatively impact the value or liquidity of the Fund’s investments, significantly
delay or prevent the settlement of the Fund’s securities transactions, force the Fund to sell or otherwise dispose
of investments at inopportune times or prices, or impair the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in
accordance with its investment strategies. |

Foreign
Currency Forward Exchange Contracts.
To the extent the Fund seeks to hedge its foreign currency exposure by the
use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, the precise matching of the foreign currency forward exchange contract
amounts and the value of the securities involved will not generally be possible because the future value of such securities
in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements in the value of those securities between the
date on which the contract is entered into and the date it matures. There is additional risk that such transactions may reduce
or preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the currency should move in the direction opposite to the position taken
and that foreign currency forward exchange contracts create exposure to currencies in which the Fund’s securities are
not denominated. The use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts involves the risks associated with derivatives and
the risk of loss from the insolvency or bankruptcy of the counterparty to the contract or the failure of the counterparty
to make payments or otherwise
comply with the terms of the contract. |

Liquidity.
The Fund may make investments that are less liquid, illiquid or restricted or that may become illiquid or less liquid in
response to overall economic conditions or adverse investor perceptions, and which may entail greater risk than investments
in other types of securities. These investments may be more difficult to value or sell, particularly in times of market
turmoil, and there may be little trading in the secondary market available for particular securities. If the Fund is forced
to sell an illiquid or restricted security to fund redemptions or for other cash needs, it may be forced to sell the security
at a loss or for less than its fair value and may be unable to sell the security at all. |

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which
change due to economic, geopolitical and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those
that affect or are perceived or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset
classes or governments. These types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or
income generated by) and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities
and/or its ability to meet redemptions. The risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social,
political, economic and other conditions and events (such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics,
terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions and the threat
and/or actual imposition of tariffs, trade
barriers and other protectionist or retaliatory measures) adversely interrupt or
otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets. It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global
financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects (which
may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations
and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely
affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price
and exacerbate pre-existing risks to the Fund. The frequency
and magnitude of resulting changes in the value of the Fund’s investments cannot be predicted. |

Asia
Market. The small size of securities markets
and the low trading volume in many countries in Asia may lead to a lack of liquidity.
The share prices of companies in the region tend to be volatile and there is a significant possibility of loss. Many of the
countries in the region are developing, both politically and economically, and as a result companies in the region may be subject
to risks like nationalization or other forms of government interference, and/or may be heavily reliant on only a few industries
or commodities. Investments in the region may also be subject to currency risks, such as restrictions on the flow of
money in and out of the country, extreme volatility relative to the U.S. dollar and devaluation, all of which could decrease the
value of the Fund. Some countries in the region have previously experienced currency devaluations that resulted in higher
interest rates, reductions in economic activity and drops in securities prices. In
addition, because the Fund concentrates in
a single region of the world, the Fund’s performance may be more volatile than that of a fund that invests globally.
Consequently, if Asian securities fall out of favor, it may cause the Fund to underperform funds that do not concentrate
in a single region of the world. |

Financials
Sector Risk. To the
extent the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in the financials sector, factors that have

be affected by global and local economic conditions, such as the levels and liquidity of the global and local financial and
asset markets, the absolute and relative level and volatility of interest rates and equity prices, investor sentiment, inflation,
and the availability and cost of credit. Adverse developments in these conditions can have a greater adverse effect on
the financials sector of an emerging market economy than on other industries of its economy. The enactment of new legislation

China
Risk. Investments
in securities of Chinese issuers involve risks associated with investments in foreign markets as well as
special considerations not typically associated with investments in the U.S. markets or other foreign (including emerging) markets.
For example, the Chinese government has historically exercised substantial control over virtually every sector of the
Chinese economy through administrative regulation, state ownership and/or other involvement. Actions of the Chinese |
|
|
central
and local government authorities continue to have a substantial effect on economic conditions in China and operations
of particular Chinese companies. In addition, the Chinese government has actively intervened in Chinese companies’
operations and structures and taken (and may continue to take) actions that influenced the prices at which certain
goods may be sold, encouraged companies to invest or concentrate in particular industries, induced mergers between
companies in certain industries and induced private companies to publicly offer their securities. Investments in China
involve risk of a total loss due to government action or inaction or other adverse circumstances. |
| |
Additionally,
the Chinese economy is export-driven and highly reliant on trade. Adverse changes to the economic conditions,
trading policies and taxation of imports of its primary trading partners, such as the United States, Japan and South
Korea, would adversely impact the Chinese economy and the Fund’s investments. Moreover, a slowdown in other significant
economies of the world, such as the United States, the European Union and certain Asian countries, may adversely
affect economic growth or the value of investments in China. An economic downturn in China would adversely impact
the Fund’s investments. In addition, certain securities are, or may in the future, become restricted and/or sanctioned by
the U.S. government or other governments and the Fund may be forced to sell or unable to sell such securities and incur a
loss as a result and the Fund may be unable to purchase securities of Chinese issuers from time to time. |
| |
U.S.
relations with China are strained, because of, among other things, a series of trade, international treaty, tax, and sanctions
actions taken by the United States and China against each other, including the designation of China as a “foreign adversary”
of the U.S., as well as countersanctions or countermeasures from the Chinese government that have been triggered
or are expected to be triggered. Moreover, recent developments in relations between the U.S., other trading partners
and China have heightened concerns (and the realization) of increased tariffs and restrictions on trade between the two
countries, such as the potential for an escalation in trade tensions or a trade war. Increases in tariffs or trade restrictions (and
threats thereof) could lead to a significant reduction in international trade, which could have a negative impact on China’s
export industry, Chinese issuers, the liquidity or price of the Fund’s direct or indirect investments in China and, therefore,
the Fund’s investments. |
| |
These
and other developments, including government actions or inactions, would likely result in significant illiquidity risk or losses
or forced disposition for Chinese investments. The Chinese securities markets are emerging markets characterized by
a relatively small number of equity issues and relatively low trading volume, resulting in decreased liquidity, greater price
volatility (caused by, among other things, military, diplomatic, or trade conflicts and government intervention in economic
and securities markets), and potentially fewer investment opportunities for the Fund. The Fund’s investments in Chinese
securities are also subject to additional risks associated with differing regulatory and audit requirements in the Chinese
securities market as compared to the U.S. securities market, including a lack of reliable audits and other financial information
regarding many Chinese companies and heightened risk of market manipulation and fraud, which may be increased
through actions taken by the Chinese government. In addition, the relationship between China and Taiwan is particularly
sensitive, and hostilities between China and Taiwan, including continued threats by China to invade and control Taiwan,
present a significant risk to the Fund’s investments in China. Ongoing political tension between the People’s Republic
of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region may have impacts on the economy of Hong Kong, and these
impacts remain uncertain. |

Risks
of Investing through Stock Connect. The
Fund may invest in A-shares listed and traded through Stock Connect, or on such
other stock exchanges in China which participate in Stock Connect from time to time or in the future. Trading through Stock
Connect is subject to a number of restrictions that may affect the Fund’s investments and returns. Moreover, Stock Connect
A-shares generally may not be sold, purchased or otherwise transferred other than through Stock Connect in accordance
with applicable rules. The Stock Connect program is a relatively new program and may be subject to further interpretation
and guidance. There can be no assurance as to the program’s continued existence or whether future developments
regarding the program may restrict or adversely affect the Fund’s investments or returns. Because certain transactions
through Stock Connect may not be subject to certain investor protection programs, the Fund may be exposed to
the risks of default of the broker(s) they engage in their trading in China A Shares. |

Variable
Interest Entities.
Chinese operating companies sometimes rely on variable interest entity (“VIE”) structures to raise
capital from non-Chinese investors because of Chinese government limitations or prohibitions on direct foreign ownership
in certain industries. In a VIE structure, a series of contractual arrangements are entered into between a holding company
domiciled outside of China and a Chinese operating company or companies, which are intended to mimic direct ownership
in the operating company, but in many cases these arrangements have not been tested in court and it is not clear that
the contracts are enforceable or that the structures will otherwise work as intended. The offshore holding company, which
is not a Chinese operating company, then issues exchange-traded shares that are sold to the public, including non-Chinese
investors (such as the Fund). In addition to the risks generally associated with investing in China and a Chinese operating
company, the shares of the holding company purchased by the Fund would not be equity ownership interests in the
Chinese operating company and the Fund’s interest would be subject to substantial legal, operational and other risks associated
with the company’s use of the VIE structure. For example, the Chinese government has not approved VIE |
|
|
structures
and at any time without advance notice the Chinese government or a Chinese regulator or court could determine that
the contractual arrangements constituting part of the VIE structure are unenforceable or do not comply with applicable law
or regulations, these laws or regulations could change or be interpreted differently in the future, and the Chinese government
also may with no advance notice otherwise intervene in or exert influence over VIE structures or the related Chinese
operating companies. If any of these or similar risks or developments materialize, the Fund’s investment in the holding
company may suddenly and significantly decline in value or become worthless because of, among other things, difficulty
enforcing (or the inability to enforce) the contractual arrangements or materially adverse effects on the Chinese operating
company’s performance. In these circumstances, the Fund could experience significant or total losses with no recourse
available. From time to time, the Fund’s investments in U.S.-listed shell companies relying on VIE structures to obtain
exposure to Chinese operating companies could be significant. A decline or worsening in diplomatic or other relations between
the U.S. and China could increase the risks associated with the VIE structure. |

Securities. In general, prices of equity
securities are more volatile than those of fixed-income securities. U.S. and foreign
stock markets, and equity securities of individual issuers, have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the
past and it is possible that they will do so again in the future. The prices of equity securities fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or
widely, in response to activities specific to the issuer of the security as well as factors unrelated to the fundamental condition
of the issuer, including general market, economic, political and public health conditions. During periods when equity
securities experience heightened volatility, such as during periods of market, economic or financial uncertainty or distress,
the Fund’s investments in equity securities are subject to heightened risks. |
| |
The
value of equity securities and
related instruments decline in response to
perceived or actual adverse changes in the economy,
economic outlook or financial markets; deterioration in investor sentiment; inflation, interest rate, currency, and commodity
price fluctuations; adverse geopolitical, social or environmental developments; issuer- and sector-specific considerations;
unexpected trading activity among retail investors; and other factors. Market conditions affect certain types of
equity securities to a greater extent than other types of equity securities. If the stock market declines, the value of the Fund’s
equity securities will also likely decline, which will result in a decrease in the value of your investment in the Fund.
Although prices can rebound, there is no assurance that prices of the Fund’s equity securities will return to previous levels.

Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities.
Investments in foreign markets entail special risks, such as currency, political (including
geopolitical), economic and market risks and heightened risks, that may result in losses to the Fund. There also may
be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, less stringent investor protections and disclosure standards,
higher transaction and custody costs and risks, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation
associated with investments in foreign markets. In addition, investments in certain foreign markets that have historically
been considered stable may become more volatile and subject to increased risk due to developments and changing
conditions in such markets. Moreover, the growing interconnectivity of global economies and financial markets has
increased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies
and financial markets in other countries or regions. Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries

in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly
during periods of market, economic, political and social turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio
may be harder to value. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks associated with
investments in foreign developed countries. Certain
emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements
regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related
to an investment may not be available or reliable. Certain emerging market or developing countries are among the largest
debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment
of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance with
the terms of such obligations. In addition, foreign governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders
of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments. Moreover, there

Frontier
Emerging Market Securities.
Investing in the securities of issuers operating in frontier emerging markets involves a
high degree of risk and special considerations not typically associated with investing in the securities of other foreign or U.S.
issuers. In addition, the risks associated with investing in the securities of issuers operating in emerging market countries
are magnified when investing in frontier emerging market countries. These types of investments could be affected by
factors not usually associated with investments in U.S. issuers, including risks associated with expropriation and/or nationalization,
political or social instability, pervasiveness of corruption and crime, armed conflict, the impact on the economy
of civil war, religious or ethnic unrest and the withdrawal or non-renewal of any license enabling the Fund to trade in
securities of a particular country, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on transfers of assets, lack of uniform accounting, auditing
and financial reporting standards, less publicly available financial and other information, less stringent investor protections
and disclosure standards, diplomatic development which could affect U.S. investments in those countries and potential
difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations. These risks and special considerations make investments in companies
operating in frontier emerging market countries highly speculative in nature and, accordingly, an investment in |

the
Fund must be viewed as highly speculative in nature and may not be suitable for an investor who is not able to afford the
loss of his or her entire investment. To the extent that the Fund invests a significant percentage of its assets in a single frontier

countries and additional risks associated with that particular country.
A government of a frontier emerging market country
may limit or cause delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency and therefore could adversely affect the U.S.
dollar value and/or liquidity of investments denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid
in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly
during periods of market turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio may be harder to value. From
time to time, certain of the companies in which the Fund expects to invest may operate in, or have dealings with, countries
subject to sanctions or embargoes imposed by the U.S. Government and the United Nations and/or countries identified
by the U.S. Government as state sponsors of terrorism. A company may suffer damage to its reputation if it is identified
as such a company and, as an investor in such companies, the Fund will be indirectly subject to those risks. Certain
frontier market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting
and record keeping and therefore, material information related to an investment may not be available or reliable. In
addition, the Fund is limited in its ability to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain
jurisdictions outside of the United States,
in particular, in frontier markets countries. In addition, a substantial portion of the Fund’s
investments in foreign issuers may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged, the value
of those investments will fluctuate with U.S. dollar exchange rates. Economic
sanctions may be, and have been, imposed against
certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar
governmental actions could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell securities
or groups of securities, and thus may make the Fund’s investments in such securities less liquid or more difficult to value.
In addition, as a result of economic sanctions, the Fund may be forced to sell or otherwise dispose of investments at inopportune
times or prices. |

Financials
Sector Risk. To the extent the Fund invests
a substantial portion of its assets in the financials sector, factors that have
an adverse impact on this sector may have a disproportionate impact on the Fund’s performance. The financials sector can
be affected by global and local economic conditions, such as the levels and liquidity of the global and local financial and
asset markets, the absolute and relative level and volatility of interest rates and equity prices, investor sentiment, inflation,
and the availability and cost of credit. Adverse developments in these conditions can have a greater adverse effect on
the financials sector of an emerging market economy than on other industries of its economy. The enactment of new legislation
or regulations, as well as changes in interpretation and enforcement of current laws, may affect the manner of operations
and profitability of the financials sector. |

China
Risk. Investments
in securities of Chinese issuers involve risks associated with investments in foreign markets as well as
special considerations not typically associated with investments in the U.S. markets or other foreign (including emerging) markets.
For example, the Chinese government has historically exercised substantial control over virtually every sector of the
Chinese economy through administrative regulation, state ownership and/or other involvement. Actions of the Chinese central
and local government authorities continue to have a substantial effect on economic conditions in China and operations
of particular Chinese companies. In addition, the Chinese government has actively intervened in Chinese companies’
operations and structures and taken (and may continue to take) actions that influenced the prices at which certain
goods may be sold, encouraged companies to invest or concentrate in particular industries, induced mergers between
companies in certain industries and induced private companies to publicly offer their securities. Investments in China
involve risk of a total loss due to government action or inaction or other adverse circumstances. |
| |
Additionally,
the Chinese economy is export-driven and highly reliant on trade. Adverse changes to the economic conditions,
trading policies and taxation of imports of its primary trading partners, such as the United States, Japan and South
Korea, would adversely impact the Chinese economy and the Fund’s investments. Moreover, a slowdown in other significant
economies of the world, such as the United States, the European Union and certain Asian countries, may adversely
affect economic growth or the value of investments in China. An economic downturn in China would adversely impact
the Fund’s investments. In addition, certain securities are, or may in the future, become restricted and/or sanctioned by
the U.S. government or other governments and the Fund may be forced to sell or unable to sell such securities and incur a
loss as a result and the Fund may be unable to purchase securities of Chinese issuers from time to time. |
| |
U.S.
relations with China are strained, because of, among other things, a series of trade, international treaty, tax, and sanctions
actions taken by the United States and China against each other, including the designation of China as a “foreign adversary”
of the U.S., as well as countersanctions or countermeasures from the Chinese government that have been triggered
or are expected to be triggered. Moreover, recent developments in relations between the U.S., other trading partners
and China have heightened concerns (and the realization) of increased tariffs and restrictions on trade between the two
countries, such as the potential for an escalation in trade tensions or a trade war. Increases in tariffs or trade restrictions (and
threats thereof) could lead to a significant reduction in international trade, which could have a negative impact on China’s
export industry, Chinese issuers, the liquidity or price of the Fund’s direct or indirect investments in China and, therefore,
the Fund’s investments. |
| |
These
and other developments, including government actions or inactions, would likely result in significant illiquidity risk or losses
or forced disposition for Chinese investments. The Chinese securities markets are emerging markets characterized by
a relatively small number of equity issues and relatively low trading volume, resulting in decreased liquidity, greater price
volatility (caused by, among other things, military, diplomatic, or trade conflicts and government intervention in economic
and securities markets), and potentially fewer investment opportunities for the Fund. The Fund’s investments in Chinese
securities are also subject to additional risks associated with differing regulatory and audit requirements in the Chinese
securities market as compared to the U.S. securities market, including a lack of reliable audits and other financial information
regarding many Chinese companies and heightened risk of market manipulation and fraud, which may be increased
through actions taken by the Chinese government. In addition, the relationship between China and Taiwan is particularly
sensitive, and hostilities between China and Taiwan, including continued threats by China to invade and control Taiwan,
present a significant risk to the Fund’s investments in China. Ongoing political tension between the People’s Republic
of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region may have impacts on the economy of Hong Kong, and these
impacts remain uncertain. |

Risks
of Investing through Stock Connect. The
Fund may invest in A-shares listed and traded through Stock Connect, or on such
other stock exchanges in China which participate in Stock Connect from time to time or in the future. Trading through Stock
Connect is subject to a number of restrictions that may affect the Fund’s investments and returns. Moreover, Stock Connect
A-shares generally may not be sold, purchased or otherwise transferred other than through Stock Connect in accordance
with applicable rules. The Stock Connect program is a relatively new program and may be subject to further interpretation
and guidance. There can be no assurance as to the program’s continued existence or whether future developments
regarding the program may restrict or adversely affect the Fund’s investments or returns. Because certain transactions
through Stock Connect may not be subject to certain investor protection programs, the Fund may be exposed to
the risks of default of the broker(s) they engage in their trading in China A Shares. |

Variable
Interest Entities.
Chinese operating companies sometimes rely on variable interest entity (“VIE”) structures to raise
capital from non-Chinese investors because of Chinese government limitations or prohibitions on direct foreign ownership
in certain industries. In a VIE structure, a series of contractual arrangements are entered into between a holding company
domiciled outside of China and a Chinese operating company or companies, which are intended to mimic direct |
|
|
ownership
in the operating company, but in many cases these arrangements have not been tested in court and it is not clear that
the contracts are enforceable or that the structures will otherwise work as intended. The offshore holding company, which
is not a Chinese operating company, then issues exchange-traded shares that are sold to the public, including non-Chinese
investors (such as the Fund). In addition to the risks generally associated with investing in China and a Chinese operating
company, the shares of the holding company purchased by the Fund would not be equity ownership interests in the
Chinese operating company and the Fund’s interest would be subject to substantial legal, operational and other risks associated
with the company’s use of the VIE structure. For example, the Chinese government has not approved VIE structures
and at any time without advance notice the Chinese government or a Chinese regulator or court could determine that
the contractual arrangements constituting part of the VIE structure are unenforceable or do not comply with applicable law
or regulations, these laws or regulations could change or be interpreted differently in the future, and the Chinese government
also may with no advance notice otherwise intervene in or exert influence over VIE structures or the related Chinese
operating companies. If any of these or similar risks or developments materialize, the Fund’s investment in the holding
company may suddenly and significantly decline in value or become worthless because of, among other things, difficulty
enforcing (or the inability to enforce) the contractual arrangements or materially adverse effects on the Chinese operating
company’s performance. In these circumstances, the Fund could experience significant or total losses with no recourse
available. From time to time, the Fund’s investments in U.S.-listed shell companies relying on VIE structures to obtain
exposure to Chinese operating companies could be significant. A decline or worsening in diplomatic or other relations between
the U.S. and China could increase the risks associated with the VIE structure. |

Equity
Securities. In general, prices of equity
securities are more volatile than those of fixed-income securities. U.S. and foreign
stock markets, and equity securities of individual issuers, have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the
past and it is possible that they will do so again in the future. The prices of equity securities fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or
widely, in response to activities specific to the issuer of the security as well as factors unrelated to the fundamental condition
of the issuer, including general market, economic, political and public health conditions. During periods when equity
securities experience heightened volatility, such as during periods of market, economic or financial uncertainty or distress,
the Fund’s investments in equity securities are subject to heightened risks. |
| |
The
value of equity securities and
related instruments decline in response to
perceived or actual adverse changes in the economy,
economic outlook or financial markets; deterioration in investor sentiment; inflation, interest rate, currency, and commodity
price fluctuations; adverse geopolitical, social or environmental developments; issuer- and sector-specific considerations;
unexpected trading activity among retail investors; and other factors. Market conditions affect certain types of
equity securities to a greater extent than other types of equity securities. If the stock market declines, the value of the Fund’s
equity securities will also likely decline, which will result in a decrease in the value of your investment in the Fund.
Although prices can rebound, there is no assurance that prices of the Fund’s equity securities will return to previous levels.

Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities. Investments
in foreign markets entail special risks, such as currency, political (including
geopolitical), economic and market risks and heightened risks, that may result in losses to the Fund. There also may
be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, less stringent investor protections and disclosure standards,
higher transaction and custody costs and risks, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation
associated with investments in foreign markets. In addition, investments in certain foreign markets that have historically
been considered stable may become more volatile and subject to increased risk due to developments and changing
conditions in such markets. Moreover, the growing
interconnectivity of global economies and financial markets has
increased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies
and financial markets in other countries or regions. Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries
or foreign capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military, or other
conflicts), the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, companies, entities
and/or individuals, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers (including tariffs) and other protectionist or
retaliatory measures. Investments in foreign markets may also be adversely affected by governmental interventions or other
actions, such as the imposition of capital controls, nationalization of companies or industries, expropriation of assets or
the imposition of punitive taxes. The governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign
investing in their capital markets or in certain sectors or industries. In addition, a foreign government may limit or cause
delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which would adversely affect the
U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity of investments
denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid and decline in value
in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly
during periods of market, economic, political and social turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio
may be harder to value. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks associated with
investments in foreign developed countries.
Certain
emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements
regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related
to an investment may not be available or reliable. Certain emerging market or developing countries are among the largest
debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment
of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance with
the terms of such obligations. In addition, foreign governments may default on their debt securities, which may require
|
|
|
holders
of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments. Moreover, there
is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part.
In addition, the Fund is limited in its ability
to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside
of the United States, in particular, in emerging market countries. In addition, the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers
may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged, the value of those investments will
fluctuate with U.S. dollar exchange rates. Economic
sanctions or other similar measures may be, and have been, imposed
against certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar
measures could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell securities (in
the sanctioned country and other markets), negatively impact the value or liquidity of
the Fund’s investments, significantly
delay or prevent the settlement of the Fund’s securities transactions, force the Fund to sell or otherwise dispose
of investments at inopportune times or prices, or impair the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in
accordance with its investment strategies. |

Foreign
Currency Forward Exchange Contracts.
To the extent the Fund seeks to hedge its foreign currency exposure by the
use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, the precise matching of the foreign currency forward exchange contract
amounts and the value of the securities involved will not generally be possible because the future value of such securities
in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements in the value of those securities between the
date on which the contract is entered into and the date it matures. There is additional risk that such transactions may reduce
or preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the currency should move in the direction opposite to the position taken
and that foreign currency forward exchange contracts create exposure to currencies in which the Fund’s securities are
not denominated. The use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts involves the risks associated with derivatives and
the risk of loss from the insolvency or bankruptcy of the counterparty to the contract or the failure of the counterparty
to make payments or otherwise
comply with the terms of the contract. |

turmoil, and there may be little trading in the secondary market available for particular securities. If the Fund is forced
to sell an illiquid or restricted security to fund redemptions or for other cash needs, it may be forced to sell the security
at a loss or for less than its fair value and may be unable to sell the security at all. |

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which
change due to economic, geopolitical and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those
that affect or are perceived or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset
classes or governments. These types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or
income generated by) and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities
and/or its ability to meet redemptions. The risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social,
political, economic and other conditions and events (such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics,
terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions and the threat
and/or actual imposition of tariffs, trade
barriers and other protectionist or retaliatory measures) adversely interrupt or
otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets. It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global
financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects (which
may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations
and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely
affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price
and exacerbate pre-existing risks to the Fund. The frequency
and magnitude of resulting changes in the value of the Fund’s investments cannot be predicted. |

Variable
Interest Entities.
Chinese operating companies sometimes rely on variable interest entity (“VIE”) structures to raise
capital from non-Chinese investors because of Chinese government limitations or prohibitions on direct foreign ownership
in certain industries. In a VIE structure, a series of contractual arrangements are entered into between a holding company
domiciled outside of China and a Chinese operating company or companies, which are intended to mimic direct ownership
in the operating company, but in many cases these arrangements have not been tested in court and it is not clear that
the contracts are enforceable or that the structures will otherwise work as intended. The offshore holding company, which
is not a Chinese operating company, then issues exchange-traded shares that are sold to the public, including non-Chinese
investors (such as the Fund). In addition to the risks generally associated with investing in China and a Chinese operating
company, the shares of the holding company purchased by the Fund would not be equity ownership interests in the
Chinese operating company and the Fund’s interest would be subject to substantial legal, operational and other risks associated
with the company’s use of the VIE structure. For example, the Chinese government has not approved VIE structures
and at any time without advance notice the Chinese government or a Chinese regulator or court could determine that
the contractual arrangements constituting part of the VIE structure are unenforceable or do not comply with applicable law
or regulations, these laws or regulations could change or be interpreted differently in the future, and the Chinese government
also may with no advance notice otherwise intervene in or exert influence over VIE structures or the related Chinese
operating companies. If any of these or similar risks or developments materialize, the Fund’s investment in the holding
company may suddenly and significantly decline in value or become worthless because of, among other things, difficulty
enforcing (or the inability to enforce) the contractual arrangements or materially adverse effects on the Chinese operating
company’s performance. In these circumstances, the Fund could experience significant or total losses with no recourse
available. From time to time, the Fund’s investments in U.S.-listed shell companies relying on VIE structures to

|
|
obtain
exposure to Chinese operating companies could be significant. A decline or worsening in diplomatic or other relations between

Equity
Securities. In general, prices of equity
securities are more volatile than those of fixed-income securities. U.S. and foreign
stock markets, and equity securities of individual issuers, have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the
past and it is possible that they will do so again in the future. The prices of equity securities fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or
widely, in response to activities specific to the issuer of the security as well as factors unrelated to the fundamental condition
of the issuer, including general market, economic, political and public health conditions. During periods when equity
securities experience heightened volatility, such as during periods of market, economic or financial uncertainty or distress,
the Fund’s investments in equity securities are subject to heightened risks. |
| |
The
value of equity securities and
related instruments decline in response to
perceived or actual adverse changes in the economy,
economic outlook or financial markets; deterioration in investor sentiment; inflation, interest rate, currency, and commodity
price fluctuations; adverse geopolitical, social or environmental developments; issuer- and sector-specific considerations;
unexpected trading activity among retail investors; and other factors. Market conditions affect certain types of
equity securities to a greater extent than other types of equity securities. If the stock market declines, the value of the Fund’s
equity securities will also likely decline, which will result in a decrease in the value of your investment in the Fund.
Although prices can rebound, there is no assurance that prices of the Fund’s equity securities will return to previous levels.

Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities. Investments
in foreign markets entail special risks, such as currency, political (including
geopolitical), economic and market risks and heightened risks, that may result in losses to the Fund. There also may
be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, less stringent investor protections and disclosure standards,
higher transaction and custody costs and risks, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation
associated with investments in foreign markets. In addition, investments in certain foreign markets that have historically
been considered stable may become more volatile and subject to increased risk due to developments and changing
conditions in such markets. Moreover, the growing
interconnectivity of global economies and financial markets has
increased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies
and financial markets in other countries or regions. Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries
or foreign capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military, or other
conflicts), the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, companies, entities
and/or individuals, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers (including tariffs) and other protectionist or
retaliatory measures. Investments in foreign markets may also be adversely affected by governmental interventions or other
actions, such as the imposition of capital controls, nationalization of companies or industries, expropriation of assets or
the imposition of punitive taxes. The governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign
investing in their capital markets or in certain sectors or industries. In addition, a foreign government may limit or cause
delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which would adversely affect the
U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity of investments
denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid and decline in value
in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly
during periods of market, economic, political and social turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio
may be harder to value. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks associated with
investments in foreign developed countries.
Certain
emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements
regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related
to an investment may not be available or reliable. Certain emerging market or developing countries are among the |
|
|
largest
debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment
of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance with
the terms of such obligations. In addition, foreign governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders
of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments. Moreover, there
is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part.
In addition, the Fund is limited in its ability
to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside
of the United States, in particular, in emerging market countries. In addition, the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers
may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged, the value of those investments will
fluctuate with U.S. dollar exchange rates. Economic
sanctions or other similar measures may be, and have been, imposed
against certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar
measures could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell securities (in
the sanctioned country and other markets), negatively impact the value or liquidity of
the Fund’s investments, significantly
delay or prevent the settlement of the Fund’s securities transactions, force the Fund to sell or otherwise dispose
of investments at inopportune times or prices, or impair the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in
accordance with its investment strategies. |

Foreign
Currency Forward Exchange Contracts.
To the extent the Fund seeks to hedge its foreign currency exposure by the
use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, the precise matching of the foreign currency forward exchange contract
amounts and the value of the securities involved will not generally be possible because the future value of such securities
in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements in the value of those securities between the
date on which the contract is entered into and the date it matures. There is additional risk that such transactions may reduce
or preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the currency should move in the direction opposite to the position taken
and that foreign currency forward exchange contracts create exposure to currencies in which the Fund’s securities are
not denominated. The use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts involves the risks associated with derivatives |
|
|
and
the risk of loss from the insolvency or bankruptcy of the counterparty to the contract or the failure of the counterparty
to make payments or otherwise
comply with the terms of the contract. |

Liquidity.
The Fund may make investments that are less liquid, illiquid or restricted or that may become illiquid or less liquid in
response to overall economic conditions or adverse investor perceptions, and which may entail greater risk than investments
in other types of securities. These investments may be more difficult to value or sell, particularly in times of market
turmoil, and there may be little trading in the secondary market available for particular securities. If the Fund is forced
to sell an illiquid or restricted security to fund redemptions or for other cash needs, it may be forced to sell the security
at a loss or for less than its fair value and may be unable to sell the security at all. |

investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940

industry, sector or geographic region. As a result, the Fund will be more susceptible to risks associated with, and negative
events affecting those issuers, industries, sectors or geographic regions, and a decline in the value of a particular instrument
may cause the Fund’s overall value to be more volatile and decline to a greater degree than if the Fund were invested

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which
change due to economic, geopolitical and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those
that affect or are perceived or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset
classes or governments. These types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or
income generated by) and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities
and/or its ability to meet redemptions. The risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social,
political, economic and other conditions and events (such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics,
terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions and the threat
and/or actual imposition of tariffs, trade
barriers and other protectionist or retaliatory measures) adversely interrupt or
otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets. It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global
financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects (which
may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations
and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely
affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price
and exacerbate pre-existing risks to the Fund. The frequency
and magnitude of resulting changes in the value of the Fund’s investments cannot be predicted. |

China
Risk. Investments
in securities of Chinese issuers involve risks associated with investments in foreign markets as well as
special considerations not typically associated with investments in the U.S. markets or other foreign (including emerging) markets.
For example, the Chinese government has historically exercised substantial control over virtually every sector of the
Chinese economy through administrative regulation, state ownership and/or other involvement. Actions of the Chinese central
and local government authorities continue to have a substantial effect on economic conditions in China and operations
of particular Chinese companies. In addition, the Chinese government has actively intervened in Chinese companies’
operations and structures and taken (and may continue to take) actions that influenced the prices at which certain
goods may be sold, encouraged companies to invest or concentrate in particular industries, induced mergers between
companies in certain industries and induced private companies to publicly offer their securities. Investments in China
involve risk of a total loss due to government action or inaction or other adverse circumstances. |
| |
Additionally,
the Chinese economy is export-driven and highly reliant on trade. Adverse changes to the economic conditions,
trading policies and taxation of imports of its primary trading partners, such as the United States, Japan and South
Korea, would adversely impact the Chinese economy and the Fund’s investments. Moreover, a slowdown in other significant
economies of the world, such as the United States, the European Union and certain Asian countries, may adversely
affect economic growth or the value of investments in China. An economic downturn in China would adversely impact
the Fund’s investments. In addition, certain securities are, or may in the future, become restricted and/or sanctioned by
the U.S. government or other governments and the Fund may be forced to sell or unable to sell such securities and incur a
loss as a result and the Fund may be unable to purchase securities of Chinese issuers from time to time. |
| |
U.S.
relations with China are strained, because of, among other things, a series of trade, international treaty, tax, and sanctions
actions taken by the United States and China against each other, including the designation of China as a “foreign adversary”
of the U.S., as well as countersanctions or countermeasures from the Chinese government that have been triggered
or are expected to be triggered. Moreover, recent developments in relations between the U.S., other trading partners
and China have heightened concerns (and the realization) of increased tariffs and restrictions on trade between the two
countries, such as the potential for an escalation in trade tensions or a trade war. Increases in tariffs or trade restrictions (and
threats thereof) could lead to a significant reduction in international trade, which could have a negative impact on China’s
export industry, Chinese issuers, the liquidity or price of the Fund’s direct or indirect investments in China and, therefore,
the Fund’s investments. |
| |
These
and other developments, including government actions or inactions, would likely result in significant illiquidity risk or losses
or forced disposition for Chinese investments. The Chinese securities markets are emerging markets characterized by
a relatively small number of equity issues and relatively low trading volume, resulting in decreased liquidity, greater price
volatility (caused by, among other things, military, diplomatic, or trade conflicts and government intervention in economic
and securities markets), and potentially fewer investment opportunities for the Fund. The Fund’s investments in Chinese
securities are also subject to additional risks associated with differing regulatory and audit requirements in the Chinese
securities market as compared to the U.S. securities market, including a lack of reliable audits and other financial information
regarding many Chinese companies and heightened risk of market manipulation and fraud, which may be increased
through actions taken by the Chinese government. In addition, the relationship between China and Taiwan is particularly
sensitive, and hostilities between China and Taiwan, including continued threats by China to invade and control Taiwan,
present a significant risk to the Fund’s investments in China. Ongoing political tension between the People’s Republic
of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region may have impacts on the economy of Hong Kong, and these
impacts remain uncertain. |

Risks
of Investing through Stock Connect.
The Fund may invest in A-shares listed and traded through Stock Connect, or on such
other stock exchanges in China which participate in Stock Connect from time to time or in the future. Trading through Stock
Connect is subject to a number of restrictions that may affect the Fund’s investments and returns. Moreover, Stock Connect
A-shares generally may not be sold, purchased or otherwise transferred other than through Stock Connect in accordance
with applicable rules. The Stock Connect program is a relatively new program and may be subject to further interpretation
and guidance. There can be no assurance as to the program’s continued existence or whether future developments
regarding the program may restrict or adversely affect the Fund’s investments or returns. Because certain transactions
through Stock Connect may not be subject to certain investor protection programs, the Fund may be exposed to
the risks of default of the broker(s) they engage in their trading in China A Shares. |

Variable
Interest Entities.
Chinese operating companies sometimes rely on variable interest entity (“VIE”) structures to raise
capital from non-Chinese investors because of Chinese government limitations or prohibitions on direct foreign ownership
in certain industries. In a VIE structure, a series of contractual arrangements are entered into between a holding |
|
|
company
domiciled outside of China and a Chinese operating company or companies, which are intended to mimic direct ownership
in the operating company, but in many cases these arrangements have not been tested in court and it is not clear that
the contracts are enforceable or that the structures will otherwise work as intended. The offshore holding company, which
is not a Chinese operating company, then issues exchange-traded shares that are sold to the public, including non-Chinese
investors (such as the Fund). In addition to the risks generally associated with investing in China and a Chinese operating
company, the shares of the holding company purchased by the Fund would not be equity ownership interests in the
Chinese operating company and the Fund’s interest would be subject to substantial legal, operational and other risks associated
with the company’s use of the VIE structure. For example, the Chinese government has not approved VIE structures
and at any time without advance notice the Chinese government or a Chinese regulator or court could determine that
the contractual arrangements constituting part of the VIE structure are unenforceable or do not comply with applicable law
or regulations, these laws or regulations could change or be interpreted differently in the future, and the Chinese government
also may with no advance notice otherwise intervene in or exert influence over VIE structures or the related Chinese
operating companies. If any of these or similar risks or developments materialize, the Fund’s investment in the holding
company may suddenly and significantly decline in value or become worthless because of, among other things, difficulty
enforcing (or the inability to enforce) the contractual arrangements or materially adverse effects on the Chinese operating
company’s performance. In these circumstances, the Fund could experience significant or total losses with no recourse
available. From time to time, the Fund’s investments in U.S.-listed shell companies relying on VIE structures to obtain
exposure to Chinese operating companies could be significant. A decline or worsening in diplomatic or other relations between
the U.S. and China could increase the risks associated with the VIE structure. |

securities are more volatile than those of fixed-income securities. U.S. and foreign
stock markets, and equity securities of individual issuers, have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the
past and it is possible that they will do so again in the future. The prices of equity securities fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or
widely, in response to activities specific to the issuer of the security as well as factors unrelated to the fundamental condition
of the issuer, including general market, economic, political and public health conditions. During periods when equity
securities experience heightened volatility, such as during periods of market, economic or financial uncertainty or distress,
the Fund’s investments in equity securities are subject to heightened risks. |
| |
The
value of equity securities and
related instruments decline in response to
perceived or actual adverse changes in the economy,
economic outlook or financial markets; deterioration in investor sentiment; inflation, interest rate, currency, and commodity
price fluctuations; adverse geopolitical, social or environmental developments; issuer- and sector-specific considerations;
unexpected trading activity among retail investors; and other factors. Market conditions affect certain types |
| |
of
equity securities to a greater extent than other types of equity securities. If the stock market declines, the value of the Fund’s
equity securities will also likely decline, which will result in a decrease in the value of your investment in the Fund. Although
prices can rebound, there is no assurance that prices of the Fund’s equity securities will return to previous levels.

Preferred
Securities. Preferred
securities have many of the characteristics of and are subject to many of the risks associated
with both fixed-income securities and equity securities. Preferred securities may pay fixed or adjustable rates of return.
As with fixed-income securities, the market value of preferred securities is sensitive to changes in interest rates. Preferred
securities generally decrease in value if interest rates rise and increase in value if interest rates fall. In addition, preferred
securities are also subject to risks applicable generally to equity securities, such as issuer-specific and market risks.
A company’s preferred securities generally pay dividends only after the company makes required payments to holders
of its bonds and other debt, so the value of preferred securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and other
debt to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. |

ETFs.
Shares of ETFs have many of the same risks as direct investments in common stocks or bonds and their market value may
differ from their NAV because the supply and demand in the market for ETF shares at any point in time is not always identical
to the supply and demand in the market for the underlying securities. As a shareholder in an ETF, the Fund would bear
its ratable share of that entity’s expenses while continuing to pay its own investment management fees and other expenses.
As a result, the Fund and its shareholders will, in effect, be absorbing fees at two levels. Furthermore, disruptions in
the markets for the securities underlying ETFs purchased or sold by the Fund could result in losses on the Fund’s investment
in ETFs. |

Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities.
Investments in foreign markets entail special risks such as currency, political (including
geopolitical), economic and market risks, and heightened risks, that may result in losses to the Fund. There also may
be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, less stringent investor protections and disclosure standards,
higher transaction and custody costs and risks, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation
associated with investments in foreign markets. In addition, investments in certain foreign markets that have historically
been considered stable may become more volatile and subject to increased risk due to developments and changing
conditions in such markets. Moreover, the growing interconnectivity of global economies and financial markets has
increased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies
and financial markets in other countries or regions. Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries
or foreign capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military or other
conflicts), the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, companies, entities
and/or individuals, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers (including tariffs) and other protectionist or
retaliatory measures. Investments in foreign markets may also be adversely affected by governmental interventions or other
actions such as the imposition of capital controls, nationalization of companies or industries, expropriation of assets or the
imposition of punitive taxes. The governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign
investing in their capital markets or in certain sectors or industries. In addition, a foreign government may limit or cause
delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity
of investments denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid and decline in value
in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly
during periods of market, economic, political and social turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio
may be harder to value. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks associated with
investments in foreign developed countries. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements
regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related
to an investment may not be available or reliable. Certain emerging market or developing countries are among the largest
debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment
of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance with
the terms of such obligations. In addition, foreign governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders
of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments. Moreover, there
is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part. In addition, the Fund
is limited in its ability to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside
of the United States, in particular, in emerging market countries. In addition, the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers
may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged, the value of those investments will
fluctuate with U.S. dollar exchange rates. Economic sanctions or other similar measures may be, and have been, imposed
against certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar
measures could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell securities (in
the sanctioned country and other markets), negatively impact the value or liquidity of the Fund’s investments, |
|
|
significantly
delay or prevent the settlement of the Fund’s securities transactions, force the Fund to sell or otherwise dispose
of investments at inopportune times or prices, or impair the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in
accordance with its investment strategies. |

turmoil, and there may be little trading in the secondary market available for particular securities. If the Fund is forced
to sell an illiquid or restricted security to fund redemptions or for other cash needs, it may be forced to sell the security
at a loss or for less than its fair value and may be unable to sell the security at all. |

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which
change due to economic, geopolitical and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those
that affect or are perceived or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset
classes or governments. These types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or
income generated by) and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities
and/or its ability to meet redemptions. The risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social,
political, economic and other conditions and events (such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics,
terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions and the threat
and/or actual imposition of tariffs, trade
barriers and other protectionist or retaliatory measures) adversely interrupt or
otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets. It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global
financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects (which
may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations
and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely
affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price
and exacerbate pre-existing risks to the Fund. The frequency

The Fund may make investments that are less liquid, illiquid or restricted or that may become illiquid or less liquid in
response to overall economic conditions or adverse investor perceptions, and which may entail greater risk than investments
in other types of securities. These investments may be more difficult to value or sell, particularly in times of market
turmoil, and there may be little trading in the secondary market available for particular securities. If the Fund is forced
to sell an illiquid or restricted security to fund redemptions or for other cash needs, it may be forced to sell the security
at a loss or for less than its fair value and may be unable to sell the security at all. |

classes or governments. These types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or
income generated by) and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities
and/or its ability to meet redemptions. The risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social,

terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions and the threat
and/or actual imposition of tariffs, trade

Financials
Sector Risk. To the extent the Fund invests
a substantial portion of its assets in the financials sector, factors that have
an adverse impact on this sector may have a disproportionate impact on the Fund’s performance. The financials sector can
be affected by global and local economic conditions, such as the levels and liquidity of the global and local financial and
asset markets, the absolute and relative level and volatility of interest rates and equity prices, investor sentiment, inflation,
and the availability and cost of credit. Adverse developments in these conditions can have a greater adverse effect on
the financials sector of an emerging market economy than on other industries of its economy. The enactment of new legislation
or regulations, as well as changes in interpretation and enforcement of current laws, may affect the manner of operations
and profitability of the financials sector. |

To the extent that the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in the consumer discretionary

Companies in the consumer discretionary sector are subject to risks, including fluctuations in the performance of the overall

Equity
Securities. In general, prices of equity
securities are more volatile than those of fixed-income securities. U.S. and foreign
stock markets, and equity securities of individual issuers, have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the
past and it is possible that they will do so again in the future. The prices of equity securities fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or
widely, in response to activities specific to the issuer of the security as well as factors unrelated to the fundamental condition
of the issuer, including general market, economic, political and public health conditions. During periods when equity
securities experience heightened volatility, such as during periods of market, economic or financial uncertainty or distress,
the Fund’s investments in equity securities are subject to heightened risks. |
| |
The
value of equity securities and
related instruments decline in response to
perceived or actual adverse changes in the economy,
economic outlook or financial markets; deterioration in investor sentiment; inflation, interest rate, currency, and commodity
price fluctuations; adverse geopolitical, social or environmental developments; issuer- and sector-specific considerations;
unexpected trading activity among retail investors; and other factors. Market conditions affect certain types of
equity securities to a greater extent than other types of equity securities. If the stock market declines, the value of the Fund’s
equity securities will also likely decline, which will result in a decrease in the value of your investment in the Fund. Although
prices can rebound, there is no assurance that prices of the Fund’s equity securities will return to previous levels.

Private
Placements and Restricted Securities.
The Fund’s investments may include privately placed and restricted securities,
which are generally subject to resale or transfer restrictions or prohibitions. Private placements and restricted securities
may not be listed on an exchange and may have no active trading market. The Fund may be unable to dispose of privately
placed and restricted securities promptly or may be able to sell privately placed and restricted securities only at disadvantageous
times or prices, especially under adverse market or economic conditions or in the event of adverse changes
in the financial condition of the issuer. There is no assurance that a liquid market will exist for privately placed and restricted
securities and these securities could have the effect of increasing the level of Fund illiquidity. In addition, the market
for certain investments deemed liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid under adverse market or economic
conditions. Restricted securities, including privately placed securities, may be difficult to value and may experience
significant price volatility, and there is typically less information available about issuers of private placements and
restricted securities and there is no assurance that the information obtained by the Adviser is reliable. Private placements
and restricted securities may involve a high degree of business and financial risk and may result in substantial losses
to the Fund. |

Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities. Investments
in foreign markets entail special risks, such as currency, political (including
geopolitical), economic and market risks and heightened risks, that may result in losses to the Fund. There also may
be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, less stringent investor protections and disclosure standards,
higher transaction and custody costs and risks, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation
associated with investments in foreign markets. In addition, investments in certain foreign markets that have historically
been considered stable may become more volatile and subject to increased risk due to developments and changing
conditions in such markets. Moreover, the growing interconnectivity of global economies and financial markets has
increased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies
and financial markets in other countries or regions. Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries
or foreign capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military or other
conflicts), the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, companies, entities
and/or individuals, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers (including tariffs) and other protectionist or
retaliatory measures. Investments in foreign markets may also be adversely affected by governmental interventions or other
actions, such as the imposition of capital controls, nationalization of companies or industries, expropriation of assets or
the imposition of punitive taxes. The governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on
|
|
|
foreign
investing in their capital markets or in certain sectors or industries. In addition, a foreign government may limit or cause
delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity
of investments denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid and decline in value
in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly
during periods of market, economic, political and social turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio
may be harder to value. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks associated with
investments in foreign developed countries.
Certain
emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements
regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related
to an investment may not be available or reliable.
Certain emerging market
or developing countries are among the largest
debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment
of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance with
the terms of such obligations. In addition, foreign governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders
of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments. Moreover, there
is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part.
In addition, the Fund is limited in its ability
to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside
of the United States, in particular, in emerging market countries. In addition, the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers
may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged, the value of those investments will
fluctuate with U.S. dollar exchange rates. Economic sanctions or other similar measures may be, and have been, imposed
against certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar
measures could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell securities (in
the sanctioned country and other markets), negatively impact the value or liquidity of the Fund’s investments, significantly
delay or prevent the settlement of the Fund’s securities transactions, force the Fund to sell or otherwise dispose
of investments at inopportune times or prices, or impair the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in
accordance with its investment strategies. |

Foreign
Currency Forward Exchange Contracts. To
the extent the Fund seeks to hedge its foreign currency exposure by the
use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, the precise matching of the foreign currency forward exchange contract
amounts and the value of the securities involved will not generally be possible because the future value of such securities
in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements in the value of those securities between the
date on which the contract is entered into and the date it matures. There is additional risk that such transactions may reduce
or preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the currency should move in the direction opposite to the position taken
and that foreign currency forward exchange contracts create exposure to currencies in which the Fund’s securities are
not denominated. The use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts involves the risks associated with derivatives and
the risk of loss from the insolvency or bankruptcy of the counterparty to the contract or the failure of the counterparty to
make payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the contract. |

China
Risk. Investments
in securities of Chinese issuers involve risks associated with investments in foreign markets as well as
special considerations not typically associated with investments in the U.S. markets or other foreign (including emerging)
markets. For example,
the Chinese government has historically exercised substantial control over virtually every sector of the
Chinese economy through administrative regulation, state ownership and/or other involvement. Actions of the Chinese central
and local government authorities continue to have a substantial effect on economic conditions in China and operations
of particular Chinese companies. In addition, the Chinese government has actively intervened in Chinese companies’
operations and structures and taken (and may continue to take) actions that influenced the prices at which certain
goods may be sold, encouraged companies to invest or concentrate in particular industries, induced mergers between
companies in certain industries and induced private companies to publicly offer their securities. Investments in China
involve risk of a total loss due to government action or inaction or other adverse circumstances. |
| |
Additionally,
the Chinese economy is export-driven and highly reliant on trade. Adverse changes to the economic conditions,
trading policies and taxation of imports of its primary trading partners, such as the United States, Japan and South
Korea, would adversely impact the Chinese economy and the Fund’s investments. Moreover, a slowdown in other significant
economies of the world, such as the United States, the European Union and certain Asian countries, may adversely
affect economic growth or the value of investments in China. An economic downturn in China would adversely impact
the Fund’s investments. In addition, certain securities are, or may in the future, become restricted and/or sanctioned by
the U.S. government or other governments and the Fund may be forced to sell or unable to sell such securities and incur a
loss as a result and the Fund may be unable to purchase securities of Chinese issuers from time to time. |

relations with China are strained, because of, among other things, a series of trade, international treaty, tax, and sanctions
actions taken by the United States and China against each other, including the designation of China as a “foreign adversary”
of the U.S., as well as countersanctions or countermeasures from the Chinese government that have been triggered
or are expected to be triggered. Moreover, recent developments in relations between the U.S., other trading partners
and China have heightened concerns (and the realization) of increased tariffs and restrictions on trade between the two
countries, such as the potential for an escalation in trade tensions or a trade war. Increases in tariffs or trade restrictions (and
threats thereof) could lead to a significant reduction in international trade, which could have a negative impact on China’s
export industry, Chinese issuers, the liquidity or price of the Fund’s direct or indirect investments in China and, therefore,
the Fund’s investments. |
| |
These
and other developments, including government actions or inactions, would likely result in significant illiquidity risk or
losses or forced disposition
for Chinese investments. The Chinese securities markets are emerging markets characterized by
a relatively small number of equity issues and relatively low trading volume, resulting in decreased liquidity, greater price
volatility (caused by, among other things, military, diplomatic, or trade conflicts and government intervention in economic
and securities markets), and potentially fewer investment opportunities for the Fund. The Fund’s investments in Chinese
securities are also subject to additional risks associated with differing regulatory and audit requirements in the Chinese
securities market as compared to the U.S. securities market, including a lack of reliable audits and other financial information
regarding many Chinese companies and heightened risk of market manipulation and fraud, which may be increased
through actions taken by the Chinese government. In addition, the relationship between China and Taiwan is particularly
sensitive, and hostilities between China and Taiwan, including continued threats by China to invade and control Taiwan,
present a significant risk to the Fund’s investments in China. Ongoing political tension between the People’s Republic
of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region may have impacts on the economy of Hong Kong, and these
impacts remain uncertain. |

Risks
of Investing through Stock Connect.
The Fund may invest in A-shares listed and traded through Stock Connect, or on such
other stock exchanges in China which participate in Stock Connect from time to time or in the future. Trading through Stock
Connect is subject to a number of restrictions that may affect the Fund’s investments and returns. Moreover, Stock Connect
A-shares generally may not be sold, purchased or otherwise transferred other than through Stock Connect in accordance
with applicable rules. The Stock Connect program is a relatively new program and may be subject to further interpretation
and guidance. There can be no assurance as to the program’s continued existence or whether future developments
regarding the program may restrict or adversely affect the Fund’s investments or returns. Because certain |
| |
transactions
through Stock Connect may not be subject to certain investor protection programs, the Fund may be exposed to
the risks of default of the broker(s) they engage in their trading in China A Shares. |

Variable
Interest Entities.
Chinese operating companies sometimes rely on variable interest entity (“VIE”) structures to raise
capital from non-Chinese investors because of Chinese government limitations or prohibitions on direct foreign ownership
in certain industries. In a VIE structure, a series of contractual arrangements are entered into between a holding company
domiciled outside of China and a Chinese operating company or companies, which are intended to mimic direct ownership
in the operating company, but in many cases these arrangements have not been tested in court and it is not clear that
the contracts are enforceable or that the structures will otherwise work as intended. The offshore holding company, which
is not a Chinese operating company, then issues exchange-traded shares that are sold to the public, including non-Chinese
investors (such as the Fund). In addition to the risks generally associated with investing in China and a Chinese operating
company, the shares of the holding company purchased by the Fund would not be equity ownership interests in the
Chinese operating company and the Fund’s interest would be subject to substantial legal, operational and other risks associated
with the company’s use of the VIE structure. For example, the Chinese government has not approved VIE structures
and at any time without advance notice the Chinese government or a Chinese regulator or court could determine that
the contractual arrangements constituting part of the VIE structure are unenforceable or do not comply with applicable law
or regulations, these laws or regulations could change or be interpreted differently in the future, and the Chinese government
also may with no advance notice otherwise intervene in or exert influence over VIE structures or the related Chinese
operating companies. If any of these or similar risks or developments materialize, the Fund’s investment in the holding
company may suddenly and significantly decline in value or become worthless because of, among other things, difficulty
enforcing (or the inability to enforce) the contractual arrangements or materially adverse effects on the Chinese operating
company’s performance. In these circumstances, the Fund could experience significant or total losses with no recourse
available. From time to time, the Fund’s investments in U.S.-listed shell companies relying on VIE structures to obtain
exposure to Chinese operating companies could be significant. A decline or worsening in diplomatic or other relations between
the U.S. and China could increase the risks associated with the VIE structure. |

Equity
Securities. In general, prices of equity
securities are more volatile than those of fixed-income securities. U.S. and foreign
stock markets, and equity securities of individual issuers, have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the
past and it is possible that they will do so again in the future. The prices of equity securities fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or
widely, in response to activities specific to the issuer of the security as well as factors unrelated to the fundamental condition
of the issuer, including general market, economic, political and public health conditions. During periods when equity
securities experience heightened volatility, such as during periods of market, economic or financial uncertainty or distress,
the Fund’s investments in equity securities are subject to heightened risks. |
| |
The
value of equity securities and
related instruments decline in response to
perceived or actual adverse changes in the economy,
economic outlook or financial markets; deterioration in investor sentiment; inflation, interest rate, currency, and commodity
price fluctuations; adverse geopolitical, social or environmental developments; issuer- and sector-specific considerations;
unexpected trading activity among retail investors; and other factors. Market conditions affect certain types of
equity securities to a greater extent than other types of equity securities. If the stock market declines, the value of the Fund’s
equity securities will also likely decline, which will result in a decrease in the value of your investment in the Fund.
Although prices can rebound, there is no assurance that prices of the Fund’s equity securities will return to previous levels.

Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities. Investments
in foreign markets entail special risks, such as currency, political (including
geopolitical), economic and market risks and heightened risks, that may result in losses to the Fund. There also may
be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, less stringent investor protections and disclosure standards,
higher transaction and custody costs and risks, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation
associated with investments in foreign markets. In addition, investments in certain foreign markets that have historically
been considered stable may become more volatile and subject to increased risk due to developments and changing
conditions in such markets. Moreover, the growing
interconnectivity of global economies and financial markets has
increased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies
and financial markets in other countries or regions. Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries
or foreign capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military, or other
conflicts), the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, companies, entities
and/or individuals, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers (including tariffs) and other protectionist or
retaliatory measures. Investments in foreign markets may also be adversely affected by governmental interventions or other
actions, such as the imposition of capital controls, nationalization of companies or industries, expropriation of assets or
the imposition of punitive taxes. The governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign
investing in their capital markets or in certain sectors or industries. In addition, a foreign government may limit or cause
delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which would adversely affect the
U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity of investments
denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid and decline in value
in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly
during periods of market, economic, political and social turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio
may be harder to value. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks associated with
investments in foreign developed countries.
Certain
emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements
regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related
to an investment may not be available or reliable. Certain emerging market or developing countries are among the largest
debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment
of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance with
the terms of such obligations. In addition, foreign governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders
of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments. Moreover, there
is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part.
In addition, the Fund is limited in its ability
to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside
of the United States, in particular, in emerging market countries. In addition, the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers
may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged, the value of those investments will
fluctuate with U.S. dollar exchange rates. Economic
sanctions or other similar measures may be, and have been, imposed
against certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar
measures could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell securities (in
the sanctioned country and other markets), negatively impact the value or liquidity of
the Fund’s investments, significantly
delay or prevent the settlement of the Fund’s securities transactions, force the Fund to sell or otherwise dispose
of investments at inopportune times or prices, or impair the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in
accordance with its investment strategies. |

Foreign
Currency Forward Exchange Contracts.
To the extent the Fund seeks to hedge its foreign currency exposure by the
use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, the precise matching of the foreign currency forward exchange contract
amounts and the value of the securities involved will not generally be possible because the future value of such securities
in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements in the value of those securities between the
date on which the contract is entered into and the date it matures. There is additional risk that such transactions may reduce
or preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the currency should move in the direction opposite to the position taken
and that foreign currency forward exchange contracts create exposure to currencies in which the Fund’s securities are
not denominated. The use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts involves the risks associated with derivatives and
the risk of loss from the insolvency or bankruptcy of the counterparty to the contract or the failure of the counterparty
to make payments or otherwise
comply with the terms of the contract. |

Liquidity.
The Fund may make investments that are less liquid, illiquid or restricted or that may become illiquid or less liquid in
response to overall economic conditions or adverse investor perceptions, and which may entail greater risk than investments
in other types of securities. These investments may be more difficult to value or sell, particularly in times of market
turmoil, and there may be little trading in the secondary market available for particular securities. If the Fund is forced
to sell an illiquid or restricted security to fund redemptions or for other cash needs, it may be forced to sell the security
at a loss or for less than its fair value and may be unable to sell the security at all. |

Focused
Investing. Although the Fund is a diversified

Act”), the Fund typically invests a significant portion of its portfolio in a limited number of issuers, which may be in the
|
|
|
same
industry, sector or geographic region. As a result, the Fund will be more susceptible to risks associated with, and negative
events affecting those issuers, industries, sectors or geographic regions, and a decline in the value of a particular instrument
may cause the Fund’s overall value to be more volatile and decline to a greater degree than if the Fund were invested
more widely. |

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which
change due to economic, geopolitical and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those
that affect or are perceived or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset
classes or governments. These types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or
income generated by) and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities
and/or its ability to meet redemptions. The risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social,
political, economic and other conditions and events (such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics,
terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions and the threat
and/or actual imposition of tariffs, trade
barriers and other protectionist or retaliatory measures) adversely interrupt or
otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets. It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global
financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects (which
may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations
and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely
affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price
and exacerbate pre-existing risks to the Fund. The frequency
and magnitude of resulting changes in the value of the Fund’s investments cannot be predicted. |

Sector Risk. To the

be affected by global and local economic conditions, such as the levels and liquidity of the global and local financial and
asset markets, the absolute and relative level and volatility of interest rates and equity prices, investor sentiment, inflation,
and the availability and cost of credit. Adverse developments in these conditions can have a greater adverse effect on
the financials sector of an emerging market economy than on other industries of its economy. The enactment of new legislation
or regulations, as well as changes in interpretation and enforcement of current laws, may affect the manner of operations
and profitability of the financials sector. |

China
Risk. Investments
in securities of Chinese issuers involve risks associated with investments in foreign markets as well as
special considerations not typically associated with investments in the U.S. markets or other foreign (including emerging)
markets. For example,
the Chinese government has historically exercised substantial control over virtually every sector of the
Chinese economy through administrative regulation, state ownership and/or other involvement. Actions of the Chinese central
and local government authorities continue to have a substantial effect on economic conditions in China and operations
of particular Chinese companies. In addition, the Chinese government has actively intervened in Chinese companies’
operations and structures and taken (and may continue to take) actions that influenced the prices at which certain
goods may be sold, encouraged companies to invest or concentrate in particular industries, induced mergers between
companies in certain industries and induced private companies to publicly offer their securities. Investments in China
involve risk of a total loss due to government action or inaction or other adverse circumstances. |
| |
Additionally,
the Chinese economy is export-driven and highly reliant on trade. Adverse changes to the economic conditions,
trading policies and taxation of imports of its primary trading partners, such as the United States, Japan and South
Korea, would adversely impact the Chinese economy and the Fund’s investments. Moreover, a slowdown in other significant
economies of the world, such as the United States, the European Union and certain Asian countries, may adversely
affect economic growth or the value of investments in China. An economic downturn in China would adversely impact
the Fund’s investments. In addition, certain securities are, or may in the future, become restricted and/or sanctioned by
the U.S. government or other governments and the Fund may be forced to sell or unable to sell such securities and incur a
loss as a result and the Fund may be unable to purchase securities of Chinese issuers from time to time. |
| |
U.S.
relations with China are strained, because of, among other things, a series of trade, international treaty, tax, and sanctions
actions taken by the United States and China against each other, including the designation of China as a “foreign adversary”
of the U.S., as well as countersanctions or countermeasures from the Chinese government that have been triggered
or are expected to be triggered. Moreover, recent developments in relations between the U.S., other trading partners
and China have heightened concerns (and the realization) of increased tariffs and restrictions on trade between the two

export industry, Chinese issuers, the liquidity or price of the Fund’s direct or indirect investments in China and, therefore,
the Fund’s investments. |

These

Equity
Securities. In general, prices of equity
securities are more volatile than those of fixed-income securities. U.S. and foreign
stock markets, and equity securities of individual issuers, have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the
past and it is possible that they will do so again in the future. The prices of equity securities fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or
widely, in response to activities specific to the issuer of the security as well as factors unrelated to the fundamental condition
of the issuer, including general market, economic, political and public health conditions. During periods when equity
securities experience heightened volatility, such as during periods of market, economic or financial uncertainty or distress,
the Fund’s investments in equity securities are subject to heightened risks. |

The
value of equity securities and

price fluctuations; adverse geopolitical, social or environmental developments; issuer- and sector-specific considerations;

equity securities to a greater extent than other types of equity securities. If the stock market declines, the value of the Fund’s
equity securities will also likely decline, which will result in a decrease in the value of your investment in the Fund. Although
prices can rebound, there is no assurance that prices of the Fund’s equity securities will return to previous levels.

Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities.
Investments in foreign markets entail special risks such as currency, political (including
geopolitical), economic and market risks, and heightened risks, that may result in losses to the Fund. There also may
be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, less stringent investor protections and disclosure standards,
higher transaction and custody costs and risks, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation
associated with investments in foreign markets. In addition, investments in certain foreign markets that have historically
been considered stable may become more volatile and subject to increased risk due to developments and changing
conditions in such markets. Moreover, the growing interconnectivity of global economies and financial markets has
increased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies
and financial markets in other countries or regions. Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries
or foreign capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military or other
conflicts), the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, companies, entities
and/or individuals, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers (including tariffs) and other protectionist or
retaliatory measures. Investments in foreign markets may also be adversely affected by governmental interventions or other
actions such as the imposition of capital controls, nationalization of companies or industries, expropriation of assets or the
imposition of punitive taxes. The governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign
investing in their capital markets or in certain sectors or industries. In addition, a foreign government may limit or cause
delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity
of investments denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid and decline in value
in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly
during periods of market, economic, political and social turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio
may be harder to value. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks associated with
investments in foreign developed countries. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements
regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related
to an investment may not be available or reliable. Certain emerging market or developing countries are among the largest
debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment
of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance with
the terms of such obligations. In addition, foreign governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders
of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments. Moreover, there
is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part. In addition, the Fund
is limited in its ability to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside
of the United States, in particular, in emerging market countries. In addition, the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers
may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged, the value of those investments will
fluctuate with U.S. dollar exchange rates. Economic sanctions or other similar measures may be, and have been, imposed
against certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar
measures could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell securities
|
|
|
(in
the sanctioned country and other markets), negatively impact the value or liquidity of the Fund’s investments, significantly
delay or prevent the settlement of the Fund’s securities transactions, force the Fund to sell or otherwise dispose

accordance with its investment strategies. |

in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements in the value of those securities between the
date on which the contract is entered into and the date it matures. There is additional risk that such transactions may reduce
or preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the currency should move in the direction opposite to the position taken
and that foreign currency forward exchange contracts create exposure to currencies in which the Fund’s securities are
not denominated. The use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts involves the risks associated with derivatives and
the risk of loss from the insolvency or bankruptcy of the counterparty to the contract or the failure of the counterparty
to make payments or otherwise comply with

Derivatives.
Derivatives and other similar instruments that create synthetic exposure often are subject to risks similar to those
of the underlying asset or instrument, including market risk, and may be subject to additional risks, including imperfect correlation
between the value of the derivative and the underlying asset, risks of default by the counterparty to certain transactions,
magnification of losses incurred due to changes in the market value of the securities, instruments, indices or interest
rates to which the derivative instrument relates, risks that the transactions may not be liquid, risks arising from margin
and payment requirements, risks arising from mispricing or valuation complexity and operational and legal risks. Certain
derivative transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and the risk of loss.

investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which
change due to economic, geopolitical and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those
that affect or are perceived or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset
classes or governments. These types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or
income generated by) and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities
and/or its ability to meet redemptions. The risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social,
political, economic and other conditions and events (such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics,
terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions and the threat
and/or actual imposition of tariffs, trade
barriers and other protectionist or retaliatory measures) adversely interrupt or
otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets. It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global
financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects (which
may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations
and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely
affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price
and exacerbate pre-existing risks to the Fund. The frequency

Foreign
Currency. The Fund’s investments
in foreign securities may be denominated in foreign currencies. The value of foreign
currencies may fluctuate relative to the value of the U.S. dollar. Since the Fund may invest in such non-U.S. dollar-denominated
securities, and therefore may convert the value of such securities into U.S. dollars, changes in currency exchange
rates can increase or decrease the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s assets. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly
over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates and the overall economic health
of the issuer. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact
on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. The Adviser may use derivatives to seek to reduce this
risk. The Adviser may in its discretion choose not to hedge against currency risk. In addition, certain market conditions may
make it impossible or uneconomical to hedge against currency risk. |

Equity
Securities. In general, prices of equity
securities are more volatile than those of fixed-income securities. U.S. and foreign
stock markets, and equity securities of individual issuers, have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the
past and it is possible that they will do so again in the future. The prices of equity securities fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or
widely, in response to activities specific to the issuer of the security as well as factors unrelated to the fundamental condition
of the issuer, including general market, economic, political and public health conditions. During periods when equity
securities experience heightened volatility, such as during periods of market, economic or financial uncertainty or distress,
the Fund’s investments in equity securities are subject to heightened risks. |

The
value of equity securities and
related instruments decline in response to
perceived or actual adverse changes in the economy,
economic outlook or financial markets; deterioration in investor sentiment; inflation, interest rate, currency, and commodity
price fluctuations; adverse geopolitical, social or environmental developments; issuer- and sector-specific considerations;
unexpected trading activity among retail investors; and other factors. Market conditions affect certain types of
equity securities to a greater extent than other types of equity securities. If the stock market declines, the value of the Fund’s
equity securities will also likely decline, which will result in a decrease in the value of your investment in the Fund. Although
prices can rebound, there is no assurance that prices of the Fund’s equity securities will return to previous levels.

Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities.
Investments in foreign markets entail special risks such as currency, political (including
geopolitical), economic and market risks, and heightened risks, that may result in losses to the Fund. There also may
be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, less stringent investor protections and disclosure standards,
higher transaction and custody costs and risks, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation
associated with investments in foreign markets. In addition, investments in certain foreign markets that have historically
been considered stable may become more volatile and subject to increased risk due to developments and changing
conditions in such markets. Moreover, the growing interconnectivity of global economies and financial markets has
increased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies
and financial markets in other countries or regions. Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries
or foreign capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military or other
conflicts), the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, companies, entities
and/or individuals, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers (including tariffs) and other protectionist or
retaliatory measures. Investments in foreign markets may also be adversely affected by governmental interventions or other
actions such as the imposition of capital controls, nationalization of companies or industries, expropriation of assets or the
imposition of punitive taxes. The governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign
investing in their capital markets or in certain sectors or industries. In addition, a foreign government may limit or cause
delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity
of investments denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid and decline in value
in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly
during periods of market, economic, political and social turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio
may be harder to value. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks associated with
investments in foreign developed countries. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent |
|
|
requirements
regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related
to an investment may not be available or reliable. Certain emerging market or developing countries are among the largest
debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment
of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance with
the terms of such obligations. In addition, foreign governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders
of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments. Moreover, there
is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part. In addition, the Fund
is limited in its ability to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside
of the United States, in particular, in emerging market countries. In addition, the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers
may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged, the value of those investments will
fluctuate with U.S. dollar exchange rates. Economic sanctions or other similar measures may be, and have been, imposed
against certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar
measures could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell securities (in
the sanctioned country and other markets), negatively impact the value or liquidity of the Fund’s investments, significantly
delay or prevent the settlement of the Fund’s securities transactions, force the Fund to sell or otherwise dispose
of investments at inopportune times or prices, or impair the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in
accordance with its investment strategies. |

China
Risk. Investments
in securities of Chinese issuers involve risks associated with investments in foreign markets as well as
special considerations not typically associated with investments in the U.S. markets or other foreign (including emerging)
markets. For example,
the Chinese government has historically exercised substantial control over virtually every sector of the
Chinese economy through administrative regulation, state ownership and/or other involvement. Actions of the Chinese central
and local government authorities continue to have a substantial effect on economic conditions in China and operations
of particular Chinese companies. In addition, the Chinese government has actively intervened in Chinese companies’
operations and structures and taken (and may continue to take) actions that influenced the prices at which |
|
|
certain
goods may be sold, encouraged companies to invest or concentrate in particular industries, induced mergers between
companies in certain industries and induced private companies to publicly offer their securities. Investments in China
involve risk of a total loss due to government action or inaction or other adverse circumstances. |
| |
Additionally,
the Chinese economy is export-driven and highly reliant on trade. Adverse changes to the economic conditions,
trading policies and taxation of imports of its primary trading partners, such as the United States, Japan and South
Korea, would adversely impact the Chinese economy and the Fund’s investments. Moreover, a slowdown in other significant
economies of the world, such as the United States, the European Union and certain Asian countries, may adversely
affect economic growth or the value of investments in China. An economic downturn in China would adversely impact
the Fund’s investments. In addition, certain securities are, or may in the future, become restricted and/or sanctioned by
the U.S. government or other governments and the Fund may be forced to sell or unable to sell such securities and incur a
loss as a result and the Fund may be unable to purchase securities of Chinese issuers from time to time. |
| |
U.S.
relations with China are strained, because of, among other things, a series of trade, international treaty, tax, and sanctions
actions taken by the United States and China against each other, including the designation of China as a “foreign adversary”
of the U.S., as well as countersanctions or countermeasures from the Chinese government that have been triggered
or are expected to be triggered. Moreover, recent developments in relations between the U.S., other trading partners
and China have heightened concerns (and the realization) of increased tariffs and restrictions on trade between the two
countries, such as the potential for an escalation in trade tensions or a trade war. Increases in tariffs or trade restrictions (and
threats thereof) could lead to a significant reduction in international trade, which could have a negative impact on China’s
export industry, Chinese issuers, the liquidity or price of the Fund’s direct or indirect investments in China and, therefore,
the Fund’s investments. |
| |
These
and other developments, including government actions or inactions, would likely result in significant illiquidity risk or
losses or forced disposition
for Chinese investments. The Chinese securities markets are emerging markets characterized by
a relatively small number of equity issues and relatively low trading volume, resulting in decreased liquidity, greater price
volatility (caused by, among other things, military, diplomatic, or trade conflicts and government intervention in economic
and securities markets), and potentially fewer investment opportunities for the Fund. The Fund’s investments in Chinese
securities are also subject to additional risks associated with differing regulatory and audit requirements in the Chinese
securities market as compared to the U.S. securities market, including a lack of reliable audits and other financial information
regarding many Chinese companies and heightened risk of market manipulation and fraud, which may be increased
through actions taken by the Chinese government. In addition, the relationship between China and Taiwan is particularly
sensitive, and hostilities between China and Taiwan, including continued threats by China to invade and control Taiwan,
present a significant risk to the Fund’s investments in China. Ongoing political tension between the People’s Republic
of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region may have impacts on the economy of Hong Kong, and these
impacts remain uncertain. |

Risks
of Investing through Stock Connect.
The Fund may invest in A-shares listed and traded through Stock Connect, or on such
other stock exchanges in China which participate in Stock Connect from time to time or in the future. Trading through Stock
Connect is subject to a number of restrictions that may affect the Fund’s investments and returns. Moreover, Stock Connect
A-shares generally may not be sold, purchased or otherwise transferred other than through Stock Connect in accordance
with applicable rules. The Stock Connect program is a relatively new program and may be subject to further interpretation
and guidance. There can be no assurance as to the program’s continued existence or whether future developments
regarding the program may restrict or adversely affect the Fund’s investments or returns. Because certain transactions
through Stock Connect may not be subject to certain investor protection programs, the Fund may be exposed to
the risks of default of the broker(s) they engage in their trading in China A Shares. |

Variable
Interest Entities.
Chinese operating companies sometimes rely on variable interest entity (“VIE”) structures to raise
capital from non-Chinese investors because of Chinese government limitations or prohibitions on direct foreign ownership
in certain industries. In a VIE structure, a series of contractual arrangements are entered into between a holding company
domiciled outside of China and a Chinese operating company or companies, which are intended to mimic direct ownership
in the operating company, but in many cases these arrangements have not been tested in court and it is not clear that
the contracts are enforceable or that the structures will otherwise work as intended. The offshore holding company, which
is not a Chinese operating company, then issues exchange-traded shares that are sold to the public, including non-Chinese
investors (such as the Fund). In addition to the risks generally associated with investing in China and a Chinese operating
company, the shares of the holding company purchased by the Fund would not be equity ownership interests in the
Chinese operating company and the Fund’s interest would be subject to substantial legal, operational and other risks associated
with the company’s use of the VIE structure. For example, the Chinese government has not approved VIE structures
and at any time without advance notice the Chinese government or a Chinese regulator or court could determine that
the contractual arrangements constituting part of the VIE structure are unenforceable or do not comply with applicable law
or regulations, these laws or regulations could change or be interpreted differently in the future, and the Chinese |
|
|
government
also may with no advance notice otherwise intervene in or exert influence over VIE structures or the related Chinese
operating companies. If any of these or similar risks or developments materialize, the Fund’s investment in the holding
company may suddenly and significantly decline in value or become worthless because of, among other things, difficulty
enforcing (or the inability to enforce) the contractual arrangements or materially adverse effects on the Chinese operating
company’s performance. In these circumstances, the Fund could experience significant or total losses with no recourse
available. From time to time, the Fund’s investments in U.S.-listed shell companies relying on VIE structures to obtain
exposure to Chinese operating companies could be significant. A decline or worsening in diplomatic or other relations between
the U.S. and China could increase the risks associated with the VIE structure. |

Foreign
Currency. The Fund’s investments
in foreign securities may be denominated in foreign currencies. The value of foreign
currencies may fluctuate relative to the value of the U.S. dollar. Since the Fund may invest in such non-U.S. dollar-denominated
securities, and therefore may convert the value of such securities into U.S. dollars, changes in currency exchange
rates can increase or decrease the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s assets. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly
over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates and the overall economic health
of the issuer. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact
on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. The Adviser may use derivatives to seek to reduce this
risk. The Adviser may in its discretion choose not to hedge against currency risk. In addition, certain market conditions may
make it impossible or uneconomical to hedge against currency risk. |

Equity
Securities. In general, prices of equity
securities are more volatile than those of fixed-income securities. U.S. and foreign
stock markets, and equity securities of individual issuers, have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the
past and it is possible that they will do so again in the future. The prices of equity securities fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or
widely, in response to activities specific to the issuer of the security as well as factors unrelated to the fundamental condition
of the issuer, including general market, economic, political and public health conditions. During periods when equity
securities experience heightened volatility, such as during periods of market, economic or financial uncertainty or distress,
the Fund’s investments in equity securities are subject to heightened risks. |
| |
The
value of equity securities and
related instruments decline in response to
perceived or actual adverse changes in the economy,
economic outlook or financial markets; deterioration in investor sentiment; inflation, interest rate, currency, and commodity
price fluctuations; adverse geopolitical, social or environmental developments; issuer- and sector-specific considerations;
unexpected trading activity among retail investors; and other factors. Market conditions affect certain types of
equity securities to a greater extent than other types of equity securities. If the stock market declines, the value of the Fund’s
equity securities will also likely decline, which will result in a decrease in the value of your investment in the Fund. Although
prices can rebound, there is no assurance that prices of the Fund’s equity securities will return to previous levels.

Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities.
Investments in foreign markets entail special risks such as currency, political (including
geopolitical), economic and market risks, and heightened risks, that may result in losses to the Fund. There also may
be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, less stringent investor protections and disclosure standards,
higher transaction and custody costs and risks, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation
associated with investments in foreign markets. In addition, investments in certain foreign markets that have historically
been considered stable may become more volatile and subject to increased risk due to developments and changing
conditions in such markets. Moreover, the growing interconnectivity of global economies and financial markets has
increased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies
and financial markets in other countries or regions. Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries
or foreign capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military or other
conflicts), the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, companies, entities
and/or individuals, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers (including tariffs) and other protectionist or
retaliatory measures. Investments in foreign markets may also be adversely affected by governmental interventions or other
actions such as the imposition of capital controls, nationalization of companies or industries, expropriation of assets or the
imposition of punitive taxes. The governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign
investing in their capital markets or in certain sectors or industries. In addition, a foreign government may limit or cause
delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity
of investments denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid and decline in value
in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly
during periods of market, economic, political and social turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio
may be harder to value. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks associated with
investments in foreign developed countries. Certain emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements
regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related
to an investment may not be available or reliable. Certain emerging market or developing countries are among the largest
debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment
of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance with
the terms of such obligations. In addition, foreign governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders
of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments. Moreover, there
is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part. In addition, the Fund
is limited in its ability to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside
of the United States, in particular, in emerging market countries. In addition, the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers
may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged, the value of those investments will
fluctuate with U.S. dollar exchange rates. Economic sanctions or other similar measures may be, and have been, |
|
|
imposed
against certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar
measures could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell securities (in
the sanctioned country and other markets), negatively impact the value or liquidity of the Fund’s investments, significantly
delay or prevent the settlement of the Fund’s securities transactions, force the Fund to sell or otherwise dispose
of investments at inopportune times or prices, or impair the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in
accordance with its investment strategies. |

Derivatives.
Derivatives and other similar instruments that create synthetic exposure often are subject to risks similar to those
of the underlying asset or instrument, including market risk, and may be subject to additional risks, including imperfect correlation
between the value of the derivative and the underlying asset, risks of default by the counterparty to certain transactions,
magnification of losses incurred due to changes in the market value of the securities, instruments, indices or interest
rates to which the derivative instrument relates, risks that the transactions may not be liquid, risks arising from margin
and payment requirements, risks arising from mispricing or valuation complexity and operational and legal risks. Certain
derivative transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and the risk of loss.
Investments in currency derivatives may substantially
change the Fund’s exposure to currency exchange rates and could
result in losses to the Fund if currencies do not perform as the Adviser expects. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts
and currency futures and options contracts create exposure to currencies in which the Fund’s securities are not denominated.

Liquidity.
The Fund may make investments that are less liquid, illiquid or restricted or that may become illiquid or less liquid in
response to overall economic conditions or adverse investor perceptions, and which may entail greater risk than investments
in other types of securities. These investments may be more difficult to value or sell, particularly in times of market
turmoil, and there may be little trading in the secondary market available for particular securities. If the Fund is forced
to sell an illiquid or restricted security to fund redemptions or for other cash needs, it may be forced to sell the security
at a loss or for less than its fair value and may be unable to sell the security at all. |

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which
change due to economic, geopolitical and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those
that affect or are perceived or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset
classes or governments. These types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or
income generated by) and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities
and/or its ability to meet redemptions. The risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social,
political, economic and other conditions and events (such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics,
terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions and the threat
and/or actual imposition of tariffs, trade
barriers and other protectionist or retaliatory measures) adversely interrupt or
otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets. It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global
financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects (which
may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations
and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely
affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price
and exacerbate pre-existing risks to the Fund. The frequency
and magnitude of resulting changes in the value of the Fund’s investments cannot be predicted. |

Management Risk. In pursuing the Fund’s
investment objective, the Adviser has considerable leeway in deciding which
investments to buy, hold or sell on a day-to-day basis, and which trading strategies to use. For example, the Adviser, in
its discretion, may determine to use some permitted trading strategies while not using others. The success or failure of such
decisions will affect the Fund’s performance. |

Financials
Sector Risk. To the extent the Fund invests
a substantial portion of its assets in the financials sector, factors that have
an adverse impact on this sector may have a disproportionate impact on the Fund’s performance. The financials sector can
be affected by global and local economic conditions, such as the levels and liquidity of the global and local financial and
asset markets, the absolute and relative level and volatility of interest rates and equity prices, investor sentiment, inflation,
and the availability and cost of credit. Adverse developments in these conditions can have a greater adverse effect on
the financials sector of an emerging market economy than on other industries of its economy. The enactment of new legislation
or regulations, as well as changes in interpretation and enforcement of current laws, may affect the manner of operations
and profitability of the financials sector. |

China
Risk. Investments
in securities of Chinese issuers involve risks associated with investments in foreign markets as well as
special considerations not typically associated with investments in the U.S. markets or other foreign (including emerging) markets.
For example, the Chinese government has historically exercised substantial control over virtually every sector of the
Chinese economy through administrative regulation, state ownership and/or other involvement. Actions of the Chinese central
and local government authorities continue to have a substantial effect on economic conditions in China and operations
of particular Chinese companies. In addition, the Chinese government has actively intervened in Chinese companies’
operations and structures and taken (and may continue to take) actions that influenced the prices at which certain
goods may be sold, encouraged companies to invest or concentrate in particular industries, induced mergers between
companies in certain industries and induced private companies to publicly offer their securities. Investments in China
involve risk of a total loss due to government action or inaction or other adverse circumstances. |
Additionally, the Chinese
economy is export-driven and highly reliant on trade. Adverse changes to the economic conditions, trading
policies and taxation of imports of its primary trading partners, such as the United States, Japan and South Korea, would
adversely impact the Chinese economy and the Fund’s investments. Moreover, a slowdown in other significant economies
of the world, such as the United States, the European Union and certain Asian countries, may adversely affect economic
growth or the value of investments in China. An economic downturn in China would adversely impact the Fund’s investments.
In addition, certain securities are, or may in the future, become restricted and/or sanctioned by the U.S. government
or other governments and the Fund may be forced to sell or unable to sell such securities and incur a loss as a result
and the Fund may be unable to purchase securities of Chinese issuers from time to time.
U.S. relations with China
are strained, because of, among other things, a series of trade, international treaty, tax, and sanctions actions
taken by the United States and China against each other, including the designation of China as a “foreign adversary” of
the U.S., as well as
countersanctions or countermeasures from the Chinese government that have been triggered or are expected
to be triggered. Moreover, recent developments in relations between the U.S., other trading partners and China have
heightened concerns (and
the realization) of increased tariffs and restrictions on trade between the two countries, such as the potential
for an escalation in trade tensions or a trade war. Increases in tariffs or trade restrictions (and threats thereof) could lead
to a significant reduction in international trade, which could have a negative impact on China’s export industry, Chinese issuers,
the liquidity or price of the Fund’s direct or indirect investments in China and, therefore, the Fund’s investments.
These and other developments,
including government actions or inactions, would likely result in significant illiquidity risk or losses
or forced disposition for Chinese investments. The Chinese securities markets are emerging markets characterized by a relatively
small number of equity issues and relatively low trading volume, resulting in decreased liquidity, greater price volatility
(caused by, among other things, military, diplomatic, or trade conflicts and government intervention in economic and securities
markets), and potentially fewer investment opportunities for the Fund. The Fund’s investments in Chinese securities are
also subject to additional risks associated with differing regulatory and audit requirements in the Chinese securities market as
compared to the U.S. securities market, including a lack of reliable audits and other financial information regarding many Chinese
companies and heightened risk of market manipulation and fraud, which may be increased through actions taken by the
Chinese government. In addition, the relationship between China and Taiwan is particularly sensitive, and hostilities between
China and Taiwan, including continued threats by China to invade and control Taiwan, present a significant risk to the Fund’s
investments in China. Ongoing political tension between the People’s Republic of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative
Region may have impacts on the economy of Hong Kong, and these impacts remain uncertain.
Risks
of Investing through Stock Connect.
The Fund may invest in A-shares listed and traded through Stock Connect, or on such other
stock exchanges in China which participate in Stock Connect from time to time or in the future. Trading through Stock Connect
is subject to a number of restrictions that may affect the Fund’s investments and returns. Moreover, Stock Connect A-shares
generally may not be sold, purchased or otherwise transferred other than through Stock Connect in accordance with applicable
rules. The Stock Connect program is a relatively new program and may be subject to further interpretation and guidance.
There can be no assurance as to the program’s continued existence or whether future developments regarding the program
may restrict or adversely affect the Fund’s investments or returns. Because certain transactions through Stock Connect
may not be subject to certain investor protection programs, the Fund may be exposed to the risks of default of the broker(s)
they engage in their trading in China A Shares.

Variable
Interest Entities.
Chinese operating companies sometimes rely on variable interest entity (“VIE”) structures to raise
capital from non-Chinese investors because of Chinese government limitations or prohibitions on direct foreign ownership
in certain industries. In a VIE structure, a series of contractual arrangements are entered into between a holding company
domiciled outside of China and a Chinese operating company or companies, which are intended to mimic direct ownership
in the operating company, but in many cases these arrangements have not been tested in court and it is not clear that
the contracts are enforceable or that the structures will otherwise work as intended. The offshore holding company, which
is not a Chinese operating company, then issues exchange-traded shares that are sold to the public, including non-Chinese
investors (such as the Fund). In addition to the risks generally associated with investing in China and a Chinese operating
company, the shares of the holding company purchased by the Fund would not be equity ownership interests in the
Chinese operating company and the Fund’s interest would be subject to substantial legal, operational and other risks associated
with the company’s use of the VIE structure. For example, the Chinese government has not approved VIE structures
and at any time without advance notice the Chinese government or a Chinese regulator or court could determine that
the contractual arrangements constituting part of the VIE structure are unenforceable or do not comply with applicable law
or regulations, these laws or regulations could change or be interpreted differently in the future, and the Chinese government
also may with no advance notice otherwise intervene in or exert influence over VIE structures or the related Chinese
operating companies. If any of these or similar risks or developments materialize, the Fund’s investment in the holding
company may suddenly and significantly decline in value or become worthless because of, among other things, difficulty
enforcing (or the inability to enforce) the contractual arrangements or materially adverse effects on the Chinese operating
company’s performance. In these circumstances, the Fund could experience significant or total losses with no recourse
available. From time to time, the Fund’s investments in U.S.-listed shell companies relying on VIE structures to obtain
exposure to Chinese operating companies could be significant. A decline or worsening in diplomatic or other relations between
the U.S. and China could increase the risks associated with the VIE structure. |

actions in the future could have a significant effect on the Indian economy, which could affect private sector companies
and the Fund, market conditions, and prices and yields of securities in the Fund’s portfolio. To the extent the Fund
invests a significant portion of its assets in Indian businesses and the Indian economy, factors that have an adverse impact
on Indian businesses and the Indian economy may have a disproportionate impact on the Fund’s performance. |

Foreign
Currency Forward Exchange Contracts. To
the extent the Fund seeks to hedge its foreign currency exposure by the

amounts and the value of the securities involved will not generally be possible because the future value of such securities

or preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the currency should move in the direction opposite to the position taken

change due to economic, geopolitical and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those
that affect or are perceived or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset
classes or governments. These types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or
income generated by) and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities
and/or its ability to meet redemptions. The risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social,
political, economic and other conditions and events (such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics,
terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions and the threat
and/or actual imposition of tariffs, trade
barriers and other protectionist or retaliatory measures) adversely interrupt |

|
or
otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets. It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global
financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects (which
may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations
and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely
affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price
and exacerbate pre-existing risks to the Fund. The frequency
and magnitude of resulting changes in the value of the Fund’s investments cannot be predicted. |

Foreign
Currency. The Fund’s investments
in foreign securities may be denominated in foreign currencies. The value of foreign
currencies may fluctuate relative to the value of the U.S. dollar. Since the Fund may invest in such non-U.S. dollar-denominated
securities, and therefore may convert the value of such securities into U.S. dollars, changes in currency exchange
rates can increase or decrease the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s assets. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly
over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates and the overall economic health
of the issuer. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact
on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. The Adviser may use derivatives to seek to reduce this
risk. The Adviser may in its discretion choose not to hedge against currency risk. In addition, certain market conditions may

Equity
Securities. In general, prices of equity
securities are more volatile than those of fixed-income securities. U.S. and foreign
stock markets, and equity securities of individual issuers, have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the
past and it is possible that they will do so again in the future. The prices of equity securities fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or
widely, in response to activities specific to the issuer of the security as well as factors unrelated to the fundamental condition
of the issuer, including general market, economic, political and public health conditions. During periods when equity
securities experience heightened volatility, such as during periods of market, economic or financial uncertainty or distress,
the Fund’s investments in equity securities are subject to heightened risks. |

The
value of equity securities and
related instruments decline in response to
perceived or actual adverse changes in the economy,
economic outlook or financial markets; deterioration in investor sentiment; inflation, interest rate, currency, and commodity
price fluctuations; adverse geopolitical, social or environmental developments; issuer- and sector-specific considerations;
unexpected trading activity among retail investors; and other factors. Market conditions affect certain types of
equity securities to a greater extent than other types of equity securities. If the stock market declines, the value of the Fund’s
equity securities will also likely decline, which will result in a decrease in the value of your investment in the Fund. Although

Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities. Investments
in foreign markets entail special risks, such as currency, political (including
geopolitical), economic and market risks and heightened risks, that may result in losses to the Fund. There also may
be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, less stringent investor protections and disclosure standards,
higher transaction and custody costs and risks, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation
associated with investments in foreign markets. In addition, investments in certain foreign markets that have historically
been considered stable may become more volatile and subject to increased risk due to developments and changing
conditions in such markets. Moreover, the growing interconnectivity of global economies and financial markets has
increased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies
and financial markets in other countries or regions. Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries
or foreign capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military or other
conflicts), the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, companies, entities
and/or individuals, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers (including tariffs) and other protectionist or
retaliatory measures. Investments in foreign markets may also be adversely affected by governmental interventions or other
actions, such as the imposition of capital controls, nationalization of companies or industries, expropriation of assets or
the imposition of punitive taxes. The governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign
investing in their capital markets or in certain sectors or industries. In addition, a foreign government may limit or cause
delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity
of investments denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid and decline in value
in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly
during periods of market, economic, political and social turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio
may be harder to value. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks associated with
investments in foreign developed countries. Certain
emerging market countries may be subject to
less
stringent requirements regarding accounting,
auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related
to an investment may not be available or reliable. Certain
emerging market or developing countries are among the largest
debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment
of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance with
the terms of such obligations. In addition,
foreign governments may
default on their debt securities, which may require holders
of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments. Moreover, there
is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part. In addition, the
Fund is limited in its ability to exercise
its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s
legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside
of the United States, in particular, in emerging market countries. In addition, the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers
may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged, the value of those investments will
fluctuate with U.S. dollar exchange rates. Economic sanctions or other similar measures may be, and have been, imposed
against certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar
measures could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell securities (in
the sanctioned country and other markets), negatively impact the value or liquidity of the Fund’s investments, significantly
delay or prevent the settlement of the Fund’s securities transactions, force the Fund to sell or otherwise dispose
of investments at inopportune times or prices, or impair the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in

China
Risk. Investments
in securities of Chinese issuers involve risks associated with investments in foreign markets as well as
special considerations not typically associated with investments in the U.S. markets or other foreign (including emerging)
markets. For example,
the Chinese government has historically exercised substantial control over virtually every sector of the
Chinese economy through administrative regulation, state ownership and/or other involvement. Actions of the Chinese central
and local government authorities continue to have a substantial effect on economic conditions in China and operations
of particular Chinese companies. In addition, the Chinese government has actively intervened in Chinese companies’
operations and structures and taken (and may continue to take) actions that influenced the prices at which certain
goods may be sold, encouraged companies to invest or concentrate in particular industries, induced mergers between
companies in certain industries and induced private companies to publicly offer their securities. Investments in China
involve risk of a total loss due to government action or inaction or other adverse circumstances.Additionally,
the Chinese economy is export-driven and highly reliant on trade. Adverse changes to the economic conditions,
trading policies and taxation of imports of its primary trading partners, such as the United States, Japan and South
Korea, would adversely impact the Chinese economy and the Fund’s investments. Moreover, a slowdown in other significant
economies of the world, such as the United States, the European Union and certain Asian countries, may adversely
affect economic growth or the value of investments in China. An economic downturn in China would adversely impact
the Fund’s investments. In addition, certain securities are, or may in the future, become restricted and/or sanctioned by
the U.S. government or other governments and the Fund may be forced to sell or unable to sell such securities and incur a
loss as a result and the Fund may be unable to purchase securities of Chinese issuers from time to time.U.S.
relations with China are strained, because of, among other things, a series of trade, international treaty, tax, and sanctions
actions taken by the United States and China against each other, including the designation of China as a “foreign adversary”
of the U.S., as well as countersanctions or countermeasures from the Chinese government that have been triggered
or are expected to be triggered. Moreover, recent developments in relations between the U.S., other trading partners
and China have heightened concerns (and the realization) of increased tariffs and restrictions on trade between the two
countries, such as the potential for an escalation in trade tensions or a trade war. Increases in tariffs or trade restrictions (and
threats thereof) could lead to a significant reduction in international trade, which could have a negative impact on China’s
export industry, Chinese issuers, the liquidity or price of the Fund’s direct or indirect investments in China and, therefore,
the Fund’s investments.These
and other developments, including government actions or inactions, would likely result in significant illiquidity risk or losses
or forced disposition for Chinese investments. The Chinese securities markets are emerging markets characterized by
a relatively small number of equity issues and relatively low trading volume, resulting in decreased liquidity, greater price
volatility (caused by, among other things, military, diplomatic, or trade conflicts and government intervention in economic
and securities markets), and potentially fewer investment opportunities for the Fund. The Fund’s investments in Chinese
securities are also subject to additional risks associated with differing regulatory and audit requirements in the Chinese
securities market as compared to the U.S. securities market, including a lack of reliable audits and other financial information
regarding many Chinese companies and heightened risk of market manipulation and fraud, which may be increased
through actions taken by the Chinese government. In addition, the relationship between China and Taiwan is particularly
sensitive, and hostilities between China and Taiwan, including continued threats by China to invade and control Taiwan,
present a significant risk to the Fund’s investments in China. Ongoing political tension between the People’s Republic
of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region may have impacts on the economy of Hong Kong, and these
impacts remain uncertain.Risks
of Investing through Stock Connect.
The Fund may invest in A-shares listed and traded through Stock Connect, or on such
other stock exchanges in China which participate in Stock Connect from time to time or in the future. Trading through Stock
Connect is subject to a number of restrictions that may affect the Fund’s investments and returns. Moreover, Stock Connect
A-shares generally may not be sold, purchased or otherwise transferred other than through Stock Connect in accordance
with applicable rules. The Stock Connect program is a relatively new program and may be subject to further interpretation
and guidance. There can be no assurance as to the program’s continued existence or whether future developments
regarding the program may restrict or adversely affect the Fund’s investments or returns. Because certain transactions
through Stock Connect may not be subject to certain investor protection programs, the Fund may be exposed to
the risks of default of the broker(s) they engage in their trading in China A Shares.

Variable
Interest Entities.
Chinese operating companies sometimes rely on variable interest entity (“VIE”) structures to raise
capital from non-Chinese investors because of Chinese government limitations or prohibitions on direct foreign ownership
in certain industries. In a VIE structure, a series of contractual arrangements are entered into between a holding company
domiciled outside of China and a Chinese operating company or companies, which are intended to mimic direct ownership
in the operating company, but in many cases these arrangements have not been tested in court and it is not clear that
the contracts are enforceable or that the structures will otherwise work as intended. The offshore holding company, which
is not a Chinese operating company, then issues exchange-traded shares that are sold to the public, including non-Chinese
investors (such as the Fund). In addition to the risks generally associated with investing in China and a Chinese operating
company, the shares of the holding company purchased by the Fund would not be equity ownership interests in the
Chinese operating company and the Fund’s interest would be subject to substantial legal, operational and other risks associated
with the company’s use of the VIE structure. For example, the Chinese government has not approved VIE structures
and at any time without advance notice the Chinese government or a Chinese regulator or court could determine that
the contractual arrangements constituting part of the VIE structure are unenforceable or do not comply with applicable law
or regulations, these laws or regulations could change or be interpreted differently in the future, and the Chinese government
also may with no advance notice otherwise intervene in or exert influence over VIE structures or the related Chinese
operating companies. If any of these or similar risks or developments materialize, the Fund’s investment in the holding
company may suddenly and significantly decline in value or become worthless because of, among other things, difficulty
enforcing (or the inability to enforce) the contractual arrangements or materially adverse effects on the Chinese operating
company’s performance. In these circumstances, the Fund could experience significant or total losses with no recourse
available. From time to time, the Fund’s investments in U.S.-listed shell companies relying on VIE structures to obtain
exposure to Chinese operating companies could be significant. A decline or worsening in diplomatic or other relations between
the U.S. and China could increase the risks associated with the VIE structure.

been considered stable may become more volatile and subject to increased risk due to developments and changing
conditions in such markets. Moreover, the growing interconnectivity of global economies and financial markets |
|
|
has
increased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies
and financial markets in other countries or regions. Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries
or foreign capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military or other
conflicts), the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, companies, entities
and/or individuals, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers (including tariffs) and other protectionist or
retaliatory measures. Investments in foreign markets may also be adversely affected by governmental interventions or other
actions, such as the imposition of capital controls, nationalization of companies or industries, expropriation of assets or
the imposition of punitive taxes. The governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign
investing in their capital markets or in certain sectors or industries. In addition, a foreign government may limit or cause
delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity
of investments denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid and decline in value
in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly
during periods of market, economic, political and social turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio
may be harder to value. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks associated with
investments in foreign developed countries. Certain
emerging market countries may be subject to
less
stringent requirements regarding accounting,
auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related
to an investment may not be available or reliable. Certain
emerging market or developing countries are among the largest
debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment
of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance with
the terms of such obligations. In addition,
foreign governments may
default on their debt securities, which may require holders
of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments. Moreover, there
is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part. In addition, the
Fund is limited in its ability to exercise
its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s
legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside
of the United States, in particular, in emerging market countries. In addition, the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers
may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged, the value of those investments will
fluctuate with U.S. dollar exchange rates. Economic sanctions or other similar measures may be, and have been, imposed
against certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar
measures could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell securities (in
the sanctioned country and other markets), negatively impact the value or liquidity of the Fund’s investments, significantly
delay or prevent the settlement of the Fund’s securities transactions, force the Fund to sell or otherwise dispose
of investments at inopportune times or prices, or impair the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in
accordance with its investment strategies. |

Derivatives.
Derivatives and other similar instruments that create synthetic exposure often are subject to risks similar to those
of the underlying asset or instrument, including market risk, and may be subject to additional risks, including imperfect correlation
between the value of the derivative and the underlying asset, risks of default by the counterparty to certain transactions,
magnification of losses incurred due to changes in the market value of the securities, instruments, indices or interest
rates to which the derivative instrument relates, risks that the transactions may not be liquid, risks arising from margin
and payment requirements, risks arising from mispricing or valuation complexity and operational and legal risks. Certain
derivative transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and the risk of loss.
Investments in currency derivatives may substantially
change the Fund’s exposure to currency exchange rates and could
result in losses to the Fund if currencies do not perform as the Adviser expects. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts
and currency futures and options contracts create exposure to currencies in which the Fund’s securities are not denominated.

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your

change due to economic, geopolitical and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those
that affect or are perceived or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset
classes or governments. These types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or
income generated by) and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities
and/or its ability to meet redemptions. The risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social,

China
Risk. Investments
in securities of Chinese issuers involve risks associated with investments in foreign markets as well as
special considerations not typically associated with investments in the U.S. markets or other foreign (including emerging) markets.
For example, the Chinese government has historically exercised substantial control over virtually every sector of the
Chinese economy through administrative regulation, state ownership and/or other involvement. Actions of the Chinese central
and local government authorities continue to have a substantial effect on economic conditions in China and operations
of particular Chinese companies. In addition, the Chinese government has actively intervened in Chinese companies’
operations and structures and taken (and may continue to take) actions that influenced the prices at which certain
goods may be sold, encouraged companies to invest or concentrate in particular industries, induced mergers between
companies in certain industries and induced private companies to publicly offer their securities. Investments in China
involve risk of a total loss due to government action or inaction or other adverse circumstances. |
| |
Additionally,
the Chinese economy is export-driven and highly reliant on trade. Adverse changes to the economic conditions,
trading policies and taxation of imports of its primary trading partners, such as the United States, Japan and South
Korea, would adversely impact the Chinese economy and the Fund’s investments. Moreover, a slowdown in other significant
economies of the world, such as the United States, the European Union and certain Asian countries, may adversely
affect economic growth or the value of investments in China. An economic downturn in China would adversely impact
the Fund’s investments. In addition, certain securities are, or may in the future, become restricted and/or sanctioned by
the U.S. government or other governments and the Fund may be forced to sell or unable to sell such securities and incur a
loss as a result and the Fund may be unable to purchase securities of Chinese issuers from time to time. |
| |
U.S.
relations with China are strained, because of, among other things, a series of trade, international treaty, tax, and sanctions
actions taken by the United States and China against each other, including the designation of China as a “foreign adversary”
of the U.S., as well as countersanctions or countermeasures from the Chinese government that have been triggered
or are expected to be triggered. Moreover, recent developments in relations between the U.S., other trading partners
and China have heightened concerns (and the realization) of increased tariffs and restrictions on trade between the two
countries, such as the potential for an escalation in trade tensions or a trade war. Increases in tariffs or trade restrictions (and
threats thereof) could lead to a significant reduction in international trade, which could have a negative impact on China’s
export industry, Chinese issuers, the liquidity or price of the Fund’s direct or indirect investments in China and, therefore,
the Fund’s investments. |
| |
These
and other developments, including government actions or inactions, would likely result in significant illiquidity risk or losses
or forced disposition for Chinese investments. The Chinese securities markets are emerging markets characterized by
a relatively small number of equity issues and relatively low trading volume, resulting in decreased liquidity, greater price
volatility (caused by, among other things, military, diplomatic, or trade conflicts and government intervention in economic
and securities markets), and potentially fewer investment opportunities for the Fund. The Fund’s investments in Chinese
securities are also subject to additional risks associated with differing regulatory and audit requirements in the Chinese
securities market as compared to the U.S. securities market, including a lack of reliable audits and other financial information
regarding many Chinese companies and heightened risk of market manipulation and fraud, which may be increased
through actions taken by the Chinese government. In addition, the relationship between China and Taiwan is particularly
sensitive, and hostilities between China and Taiwan, including continued threats by China to invade and control Taiwan,
present a significant risk to the Fund’s investments in China. Ongoing political tension between the People’s Republic
of China and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region may have impacts on the economy of Hong Kong, and these
impacts remain uncertain. |

Risks
of Investing through Stock Connect. The
Fund may invest in A-shares listed and traded through Stock Connect, or on such
other stock exchanges in China which participate in Stock Connect from time to time or in the future. Trading through Stock
Connect is subject to a number of restrictions that may affect the Fund’s investments and returns. Moreover, Stock Connect
A-shares generally may not be sold, purchased or otherwise transferred other than through Stock Connect in accordance
with applicable rules. The Stock Connect program is a relatively new program and may be subject to further interpretation
and guidance. There can be no assurance as to the program’s continued existence or whether future developments
regarding the program may restrict or adversely affect the Fund’s investments or returns. Because certain transactions
through Stock Connect may not be subject to certain investor protection programs, the Fund may be exposed to
the risks of default of the broker(s) they engage in their trading in China A Shares. |

Variable
Interest Entities.
Chinese operating companies sometimes rely on variable interest entity (“VIE”) structures to raise
capital from non-Chinese investors because of Chinese government limitations or prohibitions on direct foreign ownership
in certain industries. In a VIE structure, a series of contractual arrangements are entered into between a holding company
domiciled outside of China and a Chinese operating company or companies, which are intended to mimic direct |
|
|
ownership
in the operating company, but in many cases these arrangements have not been tested in court and it is not clear that
the contracts are enforceable or that the structures will otherwise work as intended. The offshore holding company, which
is not a Chinese operating company, then issues exchange-traded shares that are sold to the public, including non-Chinese
investors (such as the Fund). In addition to the risks generally associated with investing in China and a Chinese operating
company, the shares of the holding company purchased by the Fund would not be equity ownership interests in the
Chinese operating company and the Fund’s interest would be subject to substantial legal, operational and other risks associated
with the company’s use of the VIE structure. For example, the Chinese government has not approved VIE structures
and at any time without advance notice the Chinese government or a Chinese regulator or court could determine that
the contractual arrangements constituting part of the VIE structure are unenforceable or do not comply with applicable law
or regulations, these laws or regulations could change or be interpreted differently in the future, and the Chinese government
also may with no advance notice otherwise intervene in or exert influence over VIE structures or the related Chinese
operating companies. If any of these or similar risks or developments materialize, the Fund’s investment in the holding
company may suddenly and significantly decline in value or become worthless because of, among other things, difficulty
enforcing (or the inability to enforce) the contractual arrangements or materially adverse effects on the Chinese operating
company’s performance. In these circumstances, the Fund could experience significant or total losses with no recourse
available. From time to time, the Fund’s investments in U.S.-listed shell companies relying on VIE structures to obtain
exposure to Chinese operating companies could be significant. A decline or worsening in diplomatic or other relations between
the U.S. and China could increase the risks associated with the VIE structure. |

Foreign
Currency. The Fund’s investments
in foreign securities may be denominated in foreign currencies. The value of foreign
currencies may fluctuate relative to the value of the U.S. dollar. Since the Fund may invest in such non-U.S. dollar-denominated
securities, and therefore may convert the value of such securities into U.S. dollars, changes in currency exchange
rates can increase or decrease the U.S. dollar value of the Fund’s assets. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly
over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates and the overall economic health
of the issuer. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact
on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. The Adviser may use derivatives to seek to reduce this
risk. The Adviser may in its discretion choose not to hedge against currency risk. In addition, certain market conditions may
make it impossible or uneconomical to hedge against currency risk. |

Equity
Securities. In general, prices of equity
securities are more volatile than those of fixed-income securities. U.S. and foreign
stock markets, and equity securities of individual issuers, have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the
past and it is possible that they will do so again in the future. The prices of equity securities fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or
widely, in response to activities specific to the issuer of the security as well as factors unrelated to the fundamental condition
of the issuer, including general market, economic, political and public health conditions. During periods when equity
securities experience heightened volatility, such as during periods of market, economic or financial uncertainty or distress,
the Fund’s investments in equity securities are subject to heightened risks. |
| |
The
value of equity securities and
related instruments decline in response to
perceived or actual adverse changes in the economy,
economic outlook or financial markets; deterioration in investor sentiment; inflation, interest rate, currency, and commodity
price fluctuations; adverse geopolitical, social or environmental developments; issuer- and sector-specific considerations;
unexpected trading activity among retail investors; and other factors. Market conditions affect certain types of
equity securities to a greater extent than other types of equity securities. If the stock market declines, the value of the Fund’s
equity securities will also likely decline, which will result in a decrease in the value of your investment in the Fund. Although
prices can rebound, there is no assurance that prices of the Fund’s equity securities will return to previous levels.

Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities. Investments
in foreign markets entail special risks, such as currency, political (including

be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, less stringent investor protections and disclosure standards,
higher transaction and custody costs and risks, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation
associated with investments in foreign markets. In addition, investments in certain foreign markets that have historically

Non-Diversification.
The Fund is non-diversified, which means that the Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in
a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. Because the Fund is non-diversified, it may be more susceptible to an adverse
event affecting a single issuer or portfolio investment than a diversified portfolio and a decline in the value of that
|
|
|
issuer’s
securities or that portfolio investment may cause the Fund’s overall value to decline to a greater degree than a diversified

Equity
Securities. In general,
prices of equity securities are more volatile than those of fixed-income securities. U.S. and foreign
stock markets, and equity securities of individual issuers, have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the
past and it is possible that they will do so again in the future. The prices of equity securities fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or
widely, in response to activities specific to the issuer of the security as well as factors unrelated to the fundamental condition
of the issuer, including general market, economic, political and public health conditions. During periods when |
|
|
equity
securities experience heightened volatility, such as during periods of market, economic or financial uncertainty or distress,
the Fund’s investments in equity securities are subject to heightened risks. |
| |
The
value of equity securities and related instruments decline in response to perceived or actual adverse changes in the economy,
economic outlook or financial markets; deterioration in investor sentiment; inflation, interest rate, currency, and commodity
price fluctuations; adverse geopolitical, social or environmental developments; issuer- and sector-specific considerations;
unexpected trading activity among retail investors; and other factors. Market conditions affect certain types of
equity securities to a greater extent than other types of equity securities. If the stock market declines, the value of the Fund’s
equity securities will also likely decline, which will result in a decrease in the value of your investment in the Fund. Although
prices can rebound, there is no assurance that prices of the Fund’s equity securities will return to previous levels.

Convertible
Securities. A convertible security is
a bond, debenture, note, preferred stock, right, warrant or other security that
may be converted into or exchanged for a prescribed amount of common stock or other security of the same or a different
issuer or into cash within a particular period of time at a specified price or formula. To the extent that the Fund invests
in convertible securities, and the convertible security’s investment value is greater than its conversion value, its price will
be likely to increase when interest rates fall and decrease when interest rates rise. If the conversion value exceeds the investment
value, the price of the convertible security will tend to fluctuate directly with the price of the underlying security. |

Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities. Investments
in foreign markets entail special risks, such as currency, political (including
geopolitical), economic and market risks and heightened risks, that may result in losses to the Fund. There also may
be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, less stringent investor protections and disclosure standards,
higher transaction and custody costs and risks, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation
associated with investments in foreign markets. In addition, investments in certain foreign markets that have historically
been considered stable may become more volatile and subject to increased risk due to developments and changing
conditions in such markets. Moreover, the growing interconnectivity of global economies and financial markets has
increased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies
and financial markets in other countries or regions. Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries
or foreign capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military or other
conflicts), the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, companies, entities
and/or individuals, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers (including tariffs) and other protectionist or
retaliatory measures. Investments in foreign markets may also be adversely affected by governmental interventions or other
actions, such as the imposition of capital controls, nationalization of companies or industries, expropriation of assets or
the imposition of punitive taxes. The governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign
investing in their capital markets or in certain sectors or industries. In addition, a foreign government may limit or cause
delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity
of investments denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid and decline in value
in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly
during periods of market, economic, political and social turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio
may be harder to value. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks associated with
investments in foreign developed countries. Certain
emerging market countries may be subject to
less
stringent requirements regarding accounting,
auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related
to an investment may not be available or reliable. Certain
emerging market or developing countries are among the largest
debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment
of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance with
the terms of such obligations. In addition,
foreign governments may
default on their debt securities, which may require holders
of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments. Moreover, there
is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part. In addition, the
Fund is limited in its ability to exercise
its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside
of the United States, in particular, in emerging market countries. In addition, the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers
may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged, the value of those investments will
fluctuate with U.S. dollar exchange rates. Economic sanctions or other similar measures may be, and have been, imposed
against certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar
measures could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell securities (in
the sanctioned country and other markets), negatively impact the value or liquidity of the Fund’s investments, significantly
delay or prevent the settlement of the Fund’s securities transactions, force the Fund to sell or otherwise |

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your

change due to economic, geopolitical and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those
that affect or are perceived or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset
classes or governments. These types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or
income generated by) and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities
and/or its ability to meet redemptions. The risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social,
political, economic and other conditions and events (such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics,
terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions and the threat
and/or actual imposition of tariffs, trade

otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets. It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global
financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects (which
may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations
and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely
affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price
and exacerbate pre-existing risks to the Fund. The frequency

Information
Technology Sector Risk.
To the extent the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in the information technology
sector, the value of Fund shares may be particularly impacted by events that adversely affect the information technology
sector, such as rapid changes in technology product cycles, product obsolescence, government regulation, and competition,
and may fluctuate more than that of a fund that does not invest significantly in companies in the technology sector.

Industrials
Sector Risk. To the
extent that the Fund invests significantly in the industrials sector, the Fund will be particularly
susceptible to the risks associated with companies operating in this sector. For example, the value of securities issued
by companies in the industrials sector may be adversely affected by changes in government regulations, domestic and
world events and economic conditions. In addition, companies in the industrials sector may be adversely affected by, among
other developments, environmental damages, product liability claims, commodity prices and exchange rates as well as
changes in the supply of and demand for both their specific products or services and for industrials sector products in general.

Equity
Securities. In general, prices of equity
securities are more volatile than those of fixed-income securities. U.S. and foreign
stock markets, and equity securities of individual issuers, have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the
past and it is possible that they will do so again in the future. The prices of equity securities fluctuate, sometimes rapidly or
widely, in response to activities specific to the issuer of the security as well as factors unrelated to the fundamental condition
of the issuer, including general market, economic, political and public health conditions. During periods when |
|
|
equity
securities experience heightened volatility, such as during periods of market, economic or financial uncertainty or distress,
the Fund’s investments in equity securities are subject to heightened risks. |
| |
The
value of equity securities and
related instruments decline in response to
perceived or actual adverse changes in the economy,
economic outlook or financial markets; deterioration in investor sentiment; inflation, interest rate, currency, and commodity
price fluctuations; adverse geopolitical, social or environmental developments; issuer- and sector-specific considerations;
unexpected trading activity among retail investors; and other factors. Market conditions affect certain types of
equity securities to a greater extent than other types of equity securities. If the stock market declines, the value of the Fund’s
equity securities will also likely decline, which will result in a decrease in the value of your investment in the Fund. Although
prices can rebound, there is no assurance that prices of the Fund’s equity securities will return to previous levels.

Convertible
Securities. A convertible security is
a bond, debenture, note, preferred stock, right, warrant or other security that
may be converted into or exchanged for a prescribed amount of common stock or other security of the same or a different
issuer or into cash within a particular period of time at a specified price or formula. To the extent that the Fund invests
in convertible securities, and the convertible security’s investment value is greater than its conversion value, its price will
be likely to increase when interest rates fall and decrease when interest rates rise. If the conversion value exceeds the investment
value, the price of the convertible security will tend to fluctuate directly with the price of the underlying security. |

Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities. Investments
in foreign markets entail special risks, such as currency, political (including
geopolitical), economic and market risks and heightened risks, that may result in losses to the Fund. There also may
be greater market volatility, less reliable financial information, less stringent investor protections and disclosure standards,
higher transaction and custody costs and risks, decreased market liquidity and less government and exchange regulation
associated with investments in foreign markets. In addition, investments in certain foreign markets that have historically
been considered stable may become more volatile and subject to increased risk due to developments and changing
conditions in such markets. Moreover, the growing interconnectivity of global economies and financial markets has
increased the probability that adverse developments and conditions in one country or region will affect the stability of economies
and financial markets in other countries or regions. Certain foreign markets may rely heavily on particular industries
or foreign capital and are more vulnerable to diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military or other
conflicts), the imposition of economic sanctions against a particular country or countries, organizations, companies, entities
and/or individuals, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers (including tariffs) and other protectionist or
retaliatory measures. Investments in foreign markets may also be adversely affected by governmental interventions or other
actions, such as the imposition of capital controls, nationalization of companies or industries, expropriation of assets or
the imposition of punitive taxes. The governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign
investing in their capital markets or in certain sectors or industries. In addition, a foreign government may limit or cause
delay in the convertibility or repatriation of its currency which would adversely affect the U.S. dollar value and/or liquidity
of investments denominated in that currency. Certain foreign investments may become less liquid and decline in value
in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, or become illiquid after purchase by the Fund, particularly
during periods of market, economic, political and social turmoil. When the Fund holds illiquid investments, its portfolio
may be harder to value. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than the risks associated with
investments in foreign developed countries.
Certain
emerging market countries may be subject to less stringent requirements
regarding accounting, auditing, financial reporting and record keeping and therefore, material information related
to an investment may not be available or reliable.
Certain emerging market
or developing countries are among the largest
debtors to commercial banks and foreign governments. The issuer or governmental authority that controls the repayment
of sovereign debt may not be willing or able to repay the principal and/or pay interest when due in accordance with
the terms of such obligations. In addition, foreign governments may default on their debt securities, which may require holders
of such securities to participate in debt rescheduling or additional lending to defaulting governments. Moreover, there
is no bankruptcy proceeding by which defaulted sovereign debt may be collected in whole or in part.
In addition, the Fund is limited in its ability
to exercise its legal rights or enforce a counterparty’s legal obligations in certain jurisdictions outside
of the United States, in particular, in emerging market countries. In addition, the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers
may be denominated in foreign currencies and therefore, to the extent unhedged, the value of those investments will
fluctuate with U.S. dollar exchange rates. Economic sanctions or other similar measures may be, and have been, imposed
against certain countries, organizations, companies, entities and/or individuals. Economic sanctions and other similar
measures could, among other things, effectively restrict or eliminate the Fund’s ability to purchase or sell securities (in
the sanctioned country and other markets), negatively impact the value or liquidity of the Fund’s investments, significantly
delay or prevent the settlement of the Fund’s securities transactions, force the Fund to sell or otherwise |
|
|
dispose
of investments at inopportune times or prices, or impair the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective or invest in
accordance with its investment strategies. |

Foreign
Currency Forward Exchange Contracts. To
the extent the Fund seeks to hedge its foreign currency exposure by the
use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, the precise matching of the foreign currency forward exchange contract
amounts and the value of the securities involved will not generally be possible because the future value of such securities
in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements in the value of those securities between the
date on which the contract is entered into and the date it matures. There is additional risk that such transactions may reduce
or preclude the opportunity for gain if the value of the currency should move in the direction opposite to the position taken
and that foreign currency forward exchange contracts create exposure to currencies in which the Fund’s securities are
not denominated. The use of foreign currency forward exchange contracts involves the risks associated with derivatives and
the risk of loss from the insolvency or bankruptcy of the counterparty to the contract or the failure of the counterparty to
make payments or otherwise comply with the terms of the contract. |

Derivatives.
Derivatives and other similar instruments that create synthetic exposure often are subject to risks similar to those
of the underlying asset or instrument, including market risk, and may be subject to additional risks, including imperfect
|
|
|
correlation
between the value of the derivative and the underlying asset, risks of default by the counterparty to certain transactions,
magnification of losses incurred due to changes in the market value of the securities, instruments, indices or interest
rates to which the derivative instrument relates, risks that the transactions may not be liquid, risks arising from margin
and payment requirements, risks arising from mispricing or valuation complexity and operational and legal risks. Certain
derivatives transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage magnifies the potential for gain and the risk of loss.

Liquidity.
The Fund may make investments that are less liquid, illiquid or restricted or that may become illiquid or less liquid in
response to overall economic conditions or adverse investor perceptions, and which may entail greater risk than investments
in other types of securities. These investments may be more difficult to value or sell, particularly in times of market
turmoil, and there may be little trading in the secondary market available for particular securities. If the Fund is forced
to sell an illiquid or restricted security to fund redemptions or for other cash needs, it may be forced to sell the security
at a loss or for less than its fair value and may be unable to sell the security at all. |

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which
change due to economic, geopolitical and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those
that affect or are perceived or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset
classes or governments. These types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or
income generated by) and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities
and/or its ability to meet redemptions. The risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social,
political, economic and other conditions and events (such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics,
terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions and the threat
and/or actual imposition of tariffs, trade
barriers and other protectionist or retaliatory measures) adversely interrupt or
otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets. It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global
financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects (which
may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations
and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely
affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price
and exacerbate pre-existing risks to the Fund. The frequency

Non-Diversification.
The Fund is non-diversified, which means that the Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in
a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. Because the Fund is non-diversified, it may be more susceptible to an adverse
event affecting a single issuer or portfolio investment than a diversified portfolio and a decline in the value of that issuer’s
securities or that portfolio investment may cause the Fund’s overall value to decline to a greater degree than a diversified
portfolio. |
