Important Information
Investing in foreign securities, particularly those of
emerging markets, presents certain risks, such as currency
fluctuations, political and economic changes, and market risks. Any
fund that concentrates in a particular segment of the market will
generally be more volatile than a fund that invests more
broadly.
The shares of most closed-end funds, including the Fund, are
not continuously offered. Once issued, shares of closed-end funds
are bought and sold in the open market through a stock exchange.
Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to net
asset value. The price of a fund’s shares is determined by a number
of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the fund.
Therefore, a fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at,
below, or above net asset value.
Investments in funds involve risk. Additional risks of the
Fund are associated with international investing, such as currency
fluctuations, political and economic changes, market risks,
government regulations and differences in liquidity, which may
increase the volatility of your investment. Foreign security
markets generally exhibit greater price volatility and are less
liquid than the US market. Additionally, the Fund focuses its
investments in certain geographical regions, thereby increasing its
vulnerability to developments in that region and potentially
subjecting the Fund’s shares to greater price volatility. Some
funds have more risk than others. These include funds, such as the
Fund, that allow exposure to or otherwise concentrate investments
in certain sectors, geographic regions, security types, market
capitalization, or foreign securities (e.g., political or economic
instability, which can be accentuated in emerging market
countries).
The European Union, the United States and other countries
have imposed sanctions on Russia in response to Russian military
and other actions in recent years. These sanctions have adversely
affected Russian individuals, issuers and the Russian economy.
Russia, in turn, has imposed sanctions targeting Western
individuals, businesses and products. The various sanctions have
adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, not only
the Russian economy, but also the economies of many countries in
Europe, including countries in Central and Eastern Europe. The
continuation of current sanctions or the imposition of additional
sanctions may materially adversely affect the value of the Fund’s
portfolio.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a
solicitation to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these
securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer or
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or
qualification under the laws of such state or jurisdiction.
