This fund offers the significant long-term growth potential of companies located in the developing economies of Latin America, the Far East, Europe, and Africa. By specifically targeting developing economies that appear to be poised for substantial long-term growth, the fund is committed to providing the highest possible returns. Because of this concentration in rapidly developing economies, the fund involves a high degree of risk. Share prices are subject to market risk, as well as risks associated with unfavorable currency exchange rates and political or economic uncertainty abroad.
