Investing in Mutual Funds involves risk including the possible loss of principal. There is a risk that issuers and counterparties willnot make payments on securities and other investments held by the Fund, resulting in losses to the Fund. The Fund's use ofderivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly insecurities and other traditional investments. Emerging market countries may have relatively unstable governments, weakereconomies, and less-developed legal systems with fewer security holder rights. Closed-end funds are subject to investmentadvisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. The value of the Fund's investments in fixed incomesecurities and derivatives will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Currency trading risks include market risk, credit risk andcountry risk. Investments in foreign securities could subject the Fund to greater risks including, currency fluctuation, economicconditions, and different governmental and accounting standards. The Fund may invest in high yield securities, also known as"junk bonds." High yield securities provide greater income and opportunity for gain, but entail greater risk of loss of principal.Using derivatives to increase the Fund's combined long and short exposure creates leverage, which can magnify the Fund'spotential for gain or loss. The default rate on underlying mortgage loans or asset loans may be higher than anticipated, potentiallyreducing payments to the Fund. As a non-diversified fund, the Fund may invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securitiesof one or more issuers. The Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short position if the price of the short position instrumentincreases in value between the date of the short position sale and the date on which the Fund purchases an offsetting position.
