DISCLOSURES For additional information, including definitions of related terms and indexes, see the Financial Glossary and Benchmark Index Glossary. A Word About Risk Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates, and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices. Issuers of fixed-income securities may fail to pay interest or principal on those securities when due, which may reduce the value of the Fund’s portfolio holdings, its share price and its performance. High-yield, lower-rated securities generally entail greater market, credit/default and liquidity risks, and may be more volatile than investment grade securities. There are no guarantees that dividend-paying stocks will continue to pay dividends. In addition, dividend-paying stocks may not experience the same capital appreciation potential as non-dividend-paying stocks. The value of some mortgage-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates, and although the securities are generally supported by some form of government or private insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations. Foreign investing involves special risks including currency risk, increased volatility, political risks, and differences in auditing and other financial standards. Investments involve risk and fluctuate in value. Asset allocation and diversification do not assure a profit nor protect against loss. Prices of emerging markets securities can be significantly more volatile than the prices of securities in developed countries and currency risk and political risks are accentuated in emerging markets. Yield Curve: Graph showing the comparative yields of securities in a particular class according to maturity. Securities on the long end of the yield curve have longer maturities. Exchange-Traded Funds Fund shares are bought and sold on an exchange at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. However, shares may be redeemed at NAV directly by certain authorized broker-dealers (Authorized Participants) in very large creation/redemption units. Shares may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV in the secondary market. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Market price returns are based on the official closing price of an ETF share or, if the official closing price isn't available, the midpoint between the national best bid and national best offer ("NBBO") as of the time the ETF calculates the current NAV per share. NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time. Investors should carefully consider the fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing.
