This fund aggressively pursues capital growth by seeking to tap the long-term potential of small and medium-sized non-U.S. companies. Smaller companies throughout the world can react relatively quickly to changes in the marketplace and the economy, giving them the edge they need to capitalize on investment opportunities faster than their larger counterparts.
The fund has a high-risk profile because of investments in small-caps and in some less-developed markets. Share prices are subject to market risk, as well as risks associated with unfavorable currency exchange rates and political or economic uncertainty abroad.
