Consider these risks before investing: International investing involves certain risks, such as currency fluctuations, economic instability, and political developments. Additional risks may be associated with emerging-market securities, including illiquidity and volatility. The funds may invest a portion of assets in small and/or midsize companies. Such investments increase the risk of greater price fluctuations. The funds invest in fewer issuers or concentrate their investments by region or sector, and involve more risk than a fund that invests more broadly. The use of derivatives involves additional risks, such as the potential inability to terminate or sell derivatives positions and the potential failure of the other party to the instrument to meet its obligations. Funds that engage in short sales of securities may incur losses if the securities appreciate in value and may experience higher volatility due to leverage resulting from investing the proceeds of securities sold short.
