The funds may not be suitable for all investors. Certain funds may be affected by risks that include those associated with sector concentration, international investing, investing in
small and/or medium size companies, and/or the Funds’ possible use of investment techniques and strategies such as leverage, derivatives and short sales of securities and alternative or nontraditional
asset classes and strategies such as absolute return, long/short, commodities, currencies and managed futures. Please see the Funds’ prospectus for more information. Shares of the
Funds are not deposits of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any financial institution; are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Federal Reserve Board, or any other
agency; and involve risk, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. Diversification neither assures a profit nor eliminates the risk of experiencing investment losses.
Alternative funds may not be suitable for all investors because of the sophisticated and aggressive investment techniques the funds employ, such as
leverage, derivatives and short selling. Investing in alternative strategies presents the opportunity for significant losses. There is no assurance that the investment objective will be attained. See a prospectus for additional details on these and other risks.
Inverse and leveraged Funds are not suitable for all investors. • These Funds should be utilized only by investors who (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage, (b) understand the consequences of seeking daily leveraged investment results, (c) understand the risk of shorting, and (d) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. • The more a Fund invests in leveraged instruments, the more the leverage will magnify any gains or losses on those investments. • Inverse Funds involve certain risks, which include increased volatility due to the Funds’ possible use of short sales of securities and derivatives, such as options and futures. • The Funds’ use of derivatives, such as futures, options and swap agreements, may expose the Funds’ shareholders to additional risks that they would not be subject to if they invested directly in the securities underlying those derivatives. • Short-selling involves increased risks and costs. You risk paying more for a security than you received from its sale. • Leveraged and inverse Funds seek to provide investment results that match the performance of a specific benchmark, before fees and expenses, on a daily basis. Because the Funds seek to track the performance of their benchmark on a daily basis, mathematical compounding, especially with respect to those Funds that use leverage as part of their investment strategy, may prevent a fund from correlating with the monthly, quarterly, annual or other period performance of its benchmark. Due to the compounding of daily returns, leveraged and inverse Funds’ returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the benchmark return for the same period. For those Funds that consistently apply leverage, the value of the fund’s shares will tend to increase or decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in its benchmark index. The Funds rebalance their portfolios on a daily basis, increasing exposure in response to that day’s gains or reducing exposure in response to that day’s losses. Daily rebalancing will impair a fund’s performance if the benchmark experiences volatility. Investors should monitor their leveraged and inverse Funds’ holdings consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily. • For more on these and other risks, please read the prospectus.
