  Investment Objective & Strategy  
The investment seeks long-term capital appreciation.
The fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in emerging markets investments. Its investments in equity securities may include investments in the securities of companies of any capitalization, including a portion in small and mid capitalization companies. The fund, from time to time, may have significant investments in one or more countries, such as China or South Korea, or in particular industries or sectors. It may invest up to 20% of its net assets in the securities of issuers in developed market countries. The fund is non-diversified.
  Morningstar Category: Diversified Emerging Mkts
Diversified emerging-markets portfolios tend to divide their assets among 20 or more nations, although they tend to focus on the emerging markets of Asia and Latin America rather than on those of the Middle East, Africa, or Europe. These portfolios invest predominantly in emerging market equities, but some funds also invest in both equities and fixed income investments from emerging markets. 
  Investment Risks
Foreign Securities Funds/Emerging Market Funds: Risks include, but are not limited to, currency risk, political risk, and risk associated with varying accounting standards. Investing in emerging markets may accentuate these risks.
Non-Diversified Funds: Funds that invest more of their assets in a single issuer involve additional risks, including share price fluctuations, because of the increased concentration of investments.
