Risk Disclosures

There are risks associated with investing in securities of foreign countries, such as erratic market conditions, economic and political instability and fluctuations in currency exchange rates. These risks may be more pronounced with respect to investments in emerging markets.

Investment in gold and gold related investments present certain risks, and returns on gold related investments have traditionally been more volatility than investments in broader equity or debt markets. Physical gold does not produce income.

A principal risk of investing in value stocks is that the price of the security may not approach its anticipated value or may decline in value. “Value” investments, as a category, or entire industries or sectors associated with such investments, may lose favor with investors as compared to those that are more “growth” oriented.

Diversification does not guarantee investment returns and does not eliminate the risk of loss.

All investments involve the risk of loss.

The Global Fund may invest in gold and precious metals through investment in a wholly owned subsidiary of the Global Fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “Subsidiary”). Gold bullion and commodities include the Global Fund’s investment in the Subsidiary.

Funds that invest in bonds are subject to interest-rate risk and can lose principal value when interest rates rise. Bonds are also subject to credit risk, in which the bond issuer may fail to pay interest and principal in a timely manner, or that negative perception of the issuer’s ability to make such payments may cause the price of that bond to decline.

The Global Income Builder Fund invests in high yield securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”) which are generally considered speculative because they may be subject to greater levels of interest rate, credit (including issuer default) and liquidity risk than investment grade securities and may be subject to greater volatility. High yield securities are rated lower than investment-grade securities because there is a greater possibility that the issuer may be unable to make interest and principal payments on those securities.

Bank loans are often less liquid than other types of debt instruments. There is no assurance that the liquidation of any collateral from a secured bank loan would satisfy the borrower’s obligation, or that such collateral could be liquidated.

Income generation and dividends are not guaranteed. All investments involve the risk of loss. If dividend paying stocks in the Global Income Builder Fund’s portfolio stop paying or reduce dividends, the fund’s ability to generate income will be adversely affected. One cannot invest directly in an index. Indices do not incur management fees or other operating expenses.

A target-date fund (TDF) is a fund offered by an investment company that seeks to grow assets over a specified period of time for a targeted goal. While target-date funds aim to reduce risk overtime, they—like any investment—are not risk free, even when the target date has reached. Target-date funds do not provide guaranteed income in retirement and can lose money if the stocks and bonds owned by the fund drop in value.
