  • Literature

Mutual funds involve risk including the possible loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund's ethical values screening criteria could cause it to under-perform similar funds that do not have such screening criteria. The Fund can have risk related to option investing. Investors in the Fund should be aware that interest rates may change at any time based on government policy. In general, the price of a fixed income security falls when interest rates rise. Longer term securities may be more sensitive to changes in interest rates. The intermediate-term bond portion of the Fund's portfolio may represent 0% to 100% of the Fund's portfolio with an average duration of between two and eight years. The Fund may invest, directly or indirectly, in “junk bonds.” Such securities are speculative investments that carry greater risks than higher quality debt securities. The Fund can invest in smaller-sized companies which may experience higher failure rates than larger companies and normally have a lower trading volume than larger companies. There are unique risks associated with asset-backed securities, convertible securities, credit, foreign securities, hedging, income, LIBOR, MLPs, mortgage-backed securities, preferred stocks, prepayment, REITs, securities, U.S. Agency securities, and yieldcos that are covered in the Fund's prospectus and SAI.
