In general, equity securities will fall due to general market and economic conditions, perceptions regarding the industries or specific companies in which the ETF invest. Non-diversified ETFs invest a greater portion of assets in securities of individual issuers than a diversified ETF and therefore, may cause greater volatility. Investing in non-U.S. issuers, although limited to ADRs, may involve unique risks, such as currency, political, economic and market risk. ETFs are not are not "actively" managed and would not necessarily sell a stock because the stock's issuer was in financial trouble unless that stock is removed from the index. ETFs are subject to potential tracking errors and returns may not match the returns of the indices. ETFs that focus on small or medium-sized companies generally experience greater price volatility and risk than investing in more established companies. Investing in securities of real estate companies, Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs), other investment companies, and preferred securities involve additional risk than a fund that doesn't invest in these types of securities. The Fund is also subject to risk associated with investing in closed-end funds, such as, credit risk, high yield risk, convertible security risk, and prepayment risk Prepayment Risk The uncertainty related to unscheduled prepayment in excess of scheduled principal repayment.

If, for any monthly distribution, the Fund's investment company taxable income, if any (which term includes net short-term capital gain Short-term capital gain A profit on the sale of a security or mutual fund share that has been held for one year or less. A short-term capital gain is taxed as ordinary income. ) is less than the amount of the distribution, the difference will generally be a tax-free "return of capital" distributed from the Fund's assets. The ultimate tax characterization of the Fund's distributions in a calendar year may not finally be determined until after the end of that calendar year. This distribution policy may, under certain circumstances, have certain adverse consequences to the Fund and its shareholders because it may result in a "return of capital," resulting in less of a shareholder's assets being invested in the Fund and, over time, increase the Fund's expense ratio.
