Level 1 – |
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access. |
Level 2 – |
Observable inputs other than quoted prices
included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices
for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield
curves, default rates, discounts and similar data. |
Level 3 – |
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability,
to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market
participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. |

• |
Stock Market Risk, which is the chance that
stock prices overall will decline. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices.
When the stock market is subject to significant volatility, the risks associated with an investment in the Fund may increase. Markets
may |
|
15 |
|
• |
Convertible Securities Risk, which is the risk
that, with respect to a convertible security and prior to its conversion to equity, the price of the convertible security will normally
vary with changes in the price of the underlying equity security, and the convertible security will generally offer interest or dividend
yields that are lower than nonconvertible debt securities of similar quality. |
• |
Interest Rate Risk, which is the chance that
the value of debt securities overall will decline because of rising interest rates. Interest rate risk is generally greater for fixed-income
securities with longer maturities or durations, but increasing interest rates may have an adverse effect on the value of the Funds’
investment portfolio as a whole. The Funds may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates than would normally be the case due
to the recent end of a period of historically low rates and the effects of potential central bank monetary policy, and government fiscal
policy, initiatives and resulting market reactions to those initiatives. |
• |
Income Risk, which is the chance that the Funds’
income will decline because of falling interest rates. |
• |
Credit Risk, which is the chance that a debt
issuer will fail to pay interest and principal in a timely manner, or that negative perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make
such payments will cause the price of that debt to decline. |
• |
High Yield Securities Risk, which is the risk
that debt securities in the lower rating categories are subject to a greater probability of loss in principal and interest than higher-rated
securities and are generally considered to be predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and
repay principal |
• |
Foreign Securities Risk, which is the risk
associated with investments in foreign countries. The following factors make foreign securities more volatile: political, economic and
social instability; foreign securities may be harder to sell; brokerage commissions and other fees may be higher for foreign securities;
and foreign companies may not be subject to the same disclosure and reporting standards as U.S. companies. |
• |
Currency Risk, which is the risk that the value
of foreign securities may be affected by changes in currency exchange rates. |
• |
Smaller and Mid-Sized Companies Risk, which
is the risk that the securities of such issuers may be comparatively more volatile in price than those of companies with larger capitalizations,
and may lack the depth of management and established markets for their products and/or services that may be associated with investments
in larger issuers. |
• |
Value Investing Risk, which is the risk that
value securities may not increase in price as anticipated by the Investment Manager, and may even decline further in value, if other investors
fail to recognize the company’s value, or favor investing in faster-growing companies, or if the events or factors that the Investment
Manager believes will increase a security’s market value do not occur. |
• |
Restricted Securities Risk, which is the risk
that restricted securities may have terms that limit their resale to other investors or may require registration under applicable securities
laws before they may be sold publicly. It may not be possible to sell certain restricted securities at any particular time or at an acceptable
price. |
