Important Risks: Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • The Fund invests in China A shares through Stock Connect, which is subject to a number of restrictions that may affect the Fund's investments and returns. To the extent the Fund invests in China A shares listed on the STAR market of the Shanghai stock exchange and/or the ChiNext market of the Shenzhen stock exchange, the risks are heightened. • Risks associated with investments in China include currency fluctuation, political, economic, social, environmental, regulatory and other risks, including risks associated with differing legal standards. Focusing investments in China subjects the Fund to more volatility and greater risk of loss than a fund with more geographically diverse investments. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory developments. These risks may be greater, and include additional risks, for investments in emerging markets, such as China. • Small- and mid-cap securities can have greater risks and volatility than large-cap securities. • The securities of large market capitalization companies may underperform other segments of the market. • The Fund's investments may fluctuate in value over a short period of time. • Derivatives are generally more volatile and sensitive to changes in market or economic conditions than other securities; their risks include currency, leverage, liquidity, index, pricing, valuation, and counterparty risk. • Because the Fund is non-diversified, it may invest in a smaller number of issuers, and may be more exposed to risks and volatility than a more broadly diversified fund. • To the extent the Fund focuses on one or more sectors, the Fund may be subject to increased volatility and risk of loss if adverse developments occur. • Financially material environmental, social and/or governance (ESG) characteristics are one of several factors that may be considered. The Fund may perform differently from funds that do not integrate ESG into their analysis.
