Agility Multi-Asset Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization
Agility Multi-Asset Income Fund (the “Fund”), is a Delaware statutory trust, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as a closed-end management investment company. Perella Weinberg Partners Capital Management LP (the “Adviser” or “Agility”), a Delaware limited partnership, serves as the investment adviser to the Fund.
The principal investment objective of the Fund is to seek positive investment returns over various market cycles, with a majority of such returns derived from income. The Fund also seeks, over time, to preserve the “real purchasing power” of an investment in the Fund through capital appreciation of the Fund’s investments in an amount that is equal to or exceeds the rate of inflation (as measured by the consumer price index).
The Fund invests primarily in pooled investment vehicles, including, but not limited to, mutual funds, private investment funds and exchange traded products (collectively, “Investment Funds”). Investment Funds will be managed by investment advisers or investment managers (collectively, “Investment Managers”) who are not expected to be affiliated with the Adviser. Exchange traded products may include exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), as well as commodity pools and other commodity-based vehicles that seek to track a commodity index or benchmark and are traded on an exchange. The Fund may also invest in exchange traded notes (“ETNs”) or invest its assets directly. Direct investments may include, among others, equity securities, other securities and other investments that are expected to generate income, as well as non-income oriented securities and investments, such as swaps or other types of derivatives for investment, hedging, risk management or other purposes. The Adviser may cause the Fund to maintain such cash holdings as the Adviser may from time to time deem to be appropriate, and those holdings may at times comprise a material portion of the Fund’s assets. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved or that the Fund will not incur losses.
The Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) provides broad oversight over the operations and affairs of the Fund, and has overall responsibility to manage and control the business affairs of the Fund, including the complete and exclusive authority to establish policies regarding the management, conduct, and operation of the Fund’s business. The Board exercises the same powers, authority and responsibilities on behalf of the Fund as are customarily exercised by the board of directors of a registered investment company organized as a corporation.
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund and are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying financial statements of the Fund are stated in U.S. dollars. The Fund is an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
(a) Valuation of Investments
The Fund values its investments in Investment Funds that are publicly traded on an active exchange or that prepare and publish a daily net asset value per share (“Mutual Funds and ETFs”) and its investments in securities that trade on active exchanges at fair value and its investments in private Investment Funds (“Private Investment Funds”) in accordance with procedures established in good faith by the Board using net asset value per share. The fair value of Mutual Funds is based on reported net asset value per share, and the fair value of ETFs and investments in securities is based on quoted market prices at the close of trading on the active exchanges on which the securities are traded on the reporting date. The fair value of a Private Investment Fund ordinarily will be the net asset value of that Private Investment Fund determined and reported by the Private Investment Fund in accordance with the valuation policies established by the Private Investment Fund and/or its investment manager, absent information indicating that such net asset value does not represent the fair value of the Private Investment Fund. The Fund could reasonably expect to receive the net asset value of its interests from the Private Investment Fund if the Fund’s interest were redeemed at the time of valuation, based on information reasonably available at the time the valuation is made and that the Fund believes to be reliable. In particular, FASB Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”) permits a reporting entity to measure the fair value of an investment that does not have a readily determinable fair value based on the net asset value per share (the “NAV”), or its equivalent, of the investment as a practical expedient, without further adjustment, unless it is probable that the investment would be sold at a value significantly different than the NAV. If the practical expedient NAV is not as of the reporting entity’s measurement date, then the NAV should be adjusted to reflect any significant events that may change the valuation. In using the NAV as a practical expedient, certain attributes of the investment that may impact its fair value are not considered in measuring fair value. Attributes of those investments include the investment strategies of the investment and may also include, but are not limited to, restrictions on the investor’s
12
Agility Multi-Asset Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
ability to redeem its investments at the measurement date and any unfunded commitments. The Fund is permitted to invest in alternative investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value, and as such, has elected to use the NAV as calculated on the reporting entity’s measurement date as the fair value of the investment. A listing of each investment made by the Fund by strategy can be found in the tables within the Schedule of Investments.
Due to the nature of the investments held by the Private Investment Funds, changes in market conditions and the economic environment may significantly impact the value of the Private Investment Funds and the fair value of the Fund’s interests in the Private Investment Funds. Furthermore, changes to the liquidity provisions of the Private Investment Funds may significantly impact the fair value of the Fund’s interests in the Private Investment Funds. Under some circumstances, the Fund or the Adviser may determine, based on other information available to the Fund or the Adviser, that a Private Investment Fund’s reported valuation does not represent fair value. If it is determined that the Private Investment Fund’s reported valuation does not represent fair value, the Adviser may choose to make adjustments to reflect the fair value. During the six months ended March 31, 2022, no such adjustments were deemed necessary by the Adviser. In addition, the Fund may not have a Private Investment Fund’s reported valuation as of a particular fiscal period end. In such cases, the Fund would determine the fair value of such a Private Investment Fund based on any relevant information available at the time. The Board has also established procedures for the valuation of investment securities other than securities of Investment Funds, if any, held directly by the Fund.
The Fund may invest in Investment Funds that purchase and sell futures contracts and options on futures contracts or engage in swap transactions, or may purchase and sell such instruments and engage in such transactions directly. The Adviser currently relies on the no-action relief afforded by Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) Staff Letter No. 12-38. Therefore, the Adviser will not be required to deliver a CFTC disclosure document to Fund investors (“Shareholders”), nor will it be required to provide Shareholders certified annual reports that satisfy the requirements of CFTC regulations generally applicable to registered Commodity Pool Operators. Although the Adviser is registered as a “commodity trading advisor” with the CFTC, it will operate the Fund pursuant to CFTC Rule 4.14(a)(8). As of the date of these financial statements, there is no certainty that the Adviser or other parties will be able to rely on these exclusions and any other exemptions in the future. Additional CFTC regulation (or a choice to no longer use strategies that trigger additional regulation) may cause the Fund to change its investment strategies or to incur additional expenses.
In entering into futures contracts and options on futures contracts, there is a credit risk that a counterparty will not be able to meet its obligations to an Investment Fund. The counterparty for futures contracts and options on futures contracts traded in the United States and on most foreign futures exchanges is the clearinghouse associated with such exchange. In general, clearinghouses are backed by the corporate members of the clearinghouse who are required to share any financial burden resulting from the non-performance by one of its members and, as such, should significantly reduce this credit risk. In cases where the clearinghouse is not backed by the clearing members (i.e., some foreign exchanges), it is normally backed by a consortium of banks or other financial institutions. There can be no assurance that any counterparty, clearing member or clearinghouse will be able to meet its obligations to an Investment Fund.
(b) Federal Income Taxes
The Fund elects to be treated as, and qualifies as, a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required. In accounting for income taxes, the Fund follows the guidance in FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FASB ASC 740 prescribes the minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet in connection with accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions taken or expected to be taken by an entity before being measured and recognized in the financial statements. There were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements as of March 31, 2022.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting the 2019, 2020, and 2021 returns are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities.
The Fund’s policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with underpayment of federal and state income taxes, if any, as income tax expense on its Statement of Operations. As of March 31, 2022, the Fund did not have any interest or penalties associated with the underpayment of any income taxes.
13
Agility Multi-Asset Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(c) Investment Transactions and Related Income
The Fund’s investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are determined using the first-in first-out cost basis method for financial reporting. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. The Fund will indirectly bear a portion of the Investment Funds’ income and expenses, including management fees and incentive fees charged by the Investment Funds. That income and those expenses are recorded in the Fund’s financial statements as unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) and not as income or expense on the Statement of Operations.
(d) Cash
Cash and cash equivalents may include demand deposits and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Fund deposits its cash and cash equivalents with highly-rated banking corporations and, at times, may exceed the insured limits under applicable law. The Fund has not experienced any losses in such account and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on such bank deposits.
(e) Distributions to Shareholders
The Fund intends to make regular quarterly distributions to Shareholders sourced from the Fund’s amount available for distribution consisting of the Fund’s dividend income, and net realized and unrealized gains on investments, after accounting for Fund expenses. All distributions will be paid to Shareholders and automatically reinvested pursuant to the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (“DRP”) unless a Shareholder has elected not to participate in the DRP. An election by a Shareholder not to participate in the DRP, and to receive all income distributions and/or capital gain distributions, if any, directly rather than having such distribution reinvested in the Fund, must be made by indicating such election in the Shareholder’s subscription agreement or by notice to a Shareholder’s intermediary (who should be directed to provide notice to the Fund, if applicable, or the Fund’s administrator).
Distributions to Shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The timing and character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. To the extent that these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications.
(f) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.
(g) Fund Expenses
The Fund bears all expenses incurred in its business and operations, and records them on an accrual basis. Expenses include, but are not limited to, administrative and extraordinary expenses and legal, tax, audit, escrow, fund accounting and printing expenses. Operating expenses also include: (1) certain investment related expenses, (2) interest and commitment expense on any borrowings, if any; and (3) all costs and expenses associated with the registration of the Fund and/or its securities under, and in compliance with, any applicable federal and state laws.
Note 3 – Investment Advisory and Other Agreements
Pursuant to the advisory agreement between the Fund and the Adviser, the Fund pays the Adviser each month a Management Fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.75% of the aggregate net asset value of outstanding Shares (borne by Class A and Class I Shares on a pro rata basis) determined as of the last business day of that month (before any repurchases of Shares).
14
Agility Multi-Asset Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)
Note 3 – Investment Advisory and Other Agreements (continued)
The Fund has entered into an expense limitation agreement that limits the Fund’s annualized ordinary fund-wide operating expenses to 2.00% through June 30, 2022 (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”) and which may or may not be renewed annually thereafter. Class I Shares have no class-specific expenses. Shareholders holding Class A Shares will pay (in addition to up to 2.00% annually of the Fund’s average net assets attributable to each share class in ordinary fund-wide operating expenses) an additional annualized amount of up to 0.75% (the “Shareholder Distribution and Servicing Fee”), for a total of up to 2.75%. Ordinary fund-wide operating expenses exclude the Fund’s borrowing and other investment-related costs, Investment Fund and Investment Manager fees and expenses, taxes, litigation and indemnification expenses, judgments, other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, and the Shareholder Distribution and Servicing Fee charged to Class A Shareholders. Ordinary fund-wide operating expenses include, for the avoidance of doubt, the Management Fee and the Fund’s start-up, offering and organizational expenses. In addition, the Adviser is permitted to recover from the Fund expenses it has borne (whether through reduction of its management fee or otherwise) in later periods to the extent that the Fund’s ordinary fund-wide operating expenses (exclusive of the Shareholder Distribution and Servicing Fee charged to Class A Shareholders) fall below the annualized rate of 2.00% per year. The Fund, however, is not obligated to pay any such amount more than three years after the Adviser deferred a fee or reimbursed an expense. Any such recovery by the Adviser will not cause the Fund to exceed the annual limitation rate set forth above. As of March 31, 2022, there was no amount subject to recoupment within three years after the end of the fiscal year in which the Adviser reimbursed the expenses. As of March 31, 2022, there were no expenses reimbursable by the Adviser.
Under the terms of the wholesaling and placement agent agreement between the Fund and UMB Distribution Services, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) (the “Wholesaling and Placement Agent Agreement”), the Placement Agent is authorized to retain brokers, dealers and certain financial advisors for distribution services and to provide ongoing investor services and account maintenance services to Shareholders purchasing Shares that are their customers (“Investor Service Providers”). These services include, but are not limited to, handling Shareholder inquiries regarding the Fund (e.g. responding to questions concerning investments in the Fund, capital account balances, and reports and tax information provided by the Fund); assisting in the enhancement of relations and communications between Shareholders and the Fund; assisting in the establishment and maintenance of Shareholder accounts with the Fund; assisting in the maintenance of Fund records containing Shareholder information; and providing such other information and Shareholder liaison services as the Fund or the Placement Agent may reasonably request.
Under the Wholesaling and Placement Agent Agreement, the Fund will pay a quarterly Shareholder Distribution and Servicing Fee out of Class A Share net assets at the annual rate of 0.75% of the aggregate NAV of Class A Shares that have been outstanding for more than twelve (12) months, determined and accrued as of the last day of each calendar month (before any repurchases of Class A Shares) and paid quarterly. The Shareholder Distribution and Servicing Fee is charged on an aggregate class-wide basis, and investors in Class A Shares will be subject to the Shareholder Distribution and Servicing Fee regardless of how long they have held their Class A Shares. The Shareholder Distribution and Servicing Fee is paid to the Placement Agent to reimburse it for payments made to Investor Service Providers and for the Placement Agent’s ongoing investor servicing. The Placement Agent may pay all or a portion of the Shareholder Distribution and Servicing Fee it receives to other Investor Service Providers, acting as sub-placement agents, which may include affiliates of the Adviser. Each Investor Service Provider is paid based on the aggregate net asset value of outstanding Class A Shares held by Shareholders that receive services from such Investor Service Provider that have been outstanding for more than twelve (12) months. Pursuant to the conditions of an exemptive order issued by the SEC, the Shareholder Distribution and Servicing Fee is paid pursuant to a plan adopted by the Fund in compliance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to Class A Shares.
Class I Shares are not subject to the Shareholder Distribution and Servicing Fee.
Under the terms of the Wholesaling and Placement Agent Agreement, the Placement Agent’s sub-agents are entitled to receive a placement fee based on the net amount of Class A Shares purchased by a Shareholder (the “Class A Share Placement Fee”). In determining the applicable Class A Share Placement Fee at the time of investment in Class A Shares, the amount of a Shareholder’s investment in Class A Shares (whether initial or additional) will be aggregated with the value of (i) the Shareholder’s investments in shares subject to a placement fee of any collective investment vehicle advised by the Adviser and (ii) investments in shares subject to a placement fee of any collective investment vehicle advised by the Adviser held by the Shareholder’s “Immediate Family Members” (as defined in the Fund’s subscription agreement). The Shareholder must indicate in the subscription agreement who such “Immediate Family Members” are and the amounts of their investments.

Note 3 – Investment Advisory and Other Agreements (continued)
The Class A Share Placement Fee shall be deducted from the initial or additional subscriptions provided by the Shareholder and, subject to certain exceptions and waivers listed in the Fund’s Private Placement Memorandum, is as follows:
Current Value of Class A Shares |
Placement Fee |
|||
Less than $500,000 |

$1,000,000 or more |
0.50 | % |
For the six months ended March 31, 2022, Class A Share Placement Fees paid to sub-agents of the Placement Agent by Shareholders upon subscription into the Fund were $400.
In addition, the Placement Agent (or one of its affiliates) may, from its own resources, make payments to brokers, dealers and Investor Service Providers for the provision of sales training, product education and access to sales staff, the support and conduct of due diligence, balance maintenance, the provision of information and support services to clients, inclusion on preferred provider lists and the provision of other services with respect to Shares.
UMB Fund Services, Inc. (“UMBFS”) serves as the Fund’s fund accountant, transfer agent and administrator; UMB Bank, n.a., an affiliate of UMBFS, serves as the Fund’s custodian.
Certain trustees and officers of the Fund are employees of UMBFS. The Fund does not compensate trustees and officers affiliated with the Fund’s administrator. For the six months ended March 31, 2022, the Fund’s allocated fees incurred for trustees who are not affiliated with the Fund’s administrator are reported on the Statement of Operations.
Vigilant Compliance, LLC provides Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) services to the Fund. The Fund’s allocated fees incurred for CCO services for the six months ended March 31, 2022, are reported on the Statement of Operations.
Note 4 – Federal Income Taxes
At March 31, 2022, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments owned by the Fund, based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
Cost of investments |
$ | 109,453,574 | ||
Gross unrealized appreciation |
$ | 16,067,914 | ||
Gross unrealized depreciation |
(5,105,826 | ) | ||
Net unrealized depreciation on investments |
$ | 10,962,088 |
The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in security transactions.
GAAP requires that certain components of net assets to be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. For the year ended September 30, 2021, permanent differences in book and tax accounting primarily from investments in passive foreign investment companies, have been reclassified to paid-in capital and total distributable earnings as follows:

As of September 30, 2021, the Fund has short term and net long-term non-expiring capital loss carryovers of $1,468,473 and $30,951,469, respectively. Capital loss carryovers are available to offset future realized capital gains and thereby reduce further taxable gain distributions.
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 were as follows:
Distribution paid from: |

The difference in the amount of distributions against the Statement of Changes relates to the timing of certain distributions being reported on a cash basis for tax purposes. At September 30, 2021, there were $1,421,930 of distributions payable that will be considered paid in the tax year ending September 30, 2022 for tax purposes.
Note 5 – Investment Transactions
For the six months ended March 31, 2022, purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, were $15,950,932 and $22,686,795, respectively.
Note 6 – Investments in Private Investment Funds
The Adviser monitors the performance of Private Investment Funds. Such monitoring procedures include, but are not limited to, monitoring market movements and the Private Investment Funds’ portfolio investments, comparing performance to industry benchmarks, in depth conference calls and site visits and/or virtual meetings with Investment Managers.
Complete information about the underlying investments held by certain Private Investment Funds is not readily available, so it is unknown whether the Fund, through its aggregate investment in Investment Funds, holds any single investment whereby the Fund’s proportionate share exceeds 5% of the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2022.
The following table summarizes the Fund’s investments in the Private Investment Funds during the six months ended March 31, 2022, none of which were related parties. The Fund indirectly bears fees and expenses as an investor in the Private Investment Funds. Each investor of each Investment Fund will pay the Investment Manager of the Private Investment Fund a management fee. The fee rate varies and ranges from 0.15% to 2.00% per annum of the NAV of that Investment Fund.

Additionally, the Investment Manager of each Private Investment Fund will generally receive an incentive fee/allocation from each investor ranging from 10% to 20% of any net new appreciation of that Private Investment Fund as of the end of each performance period for which an incentive fee/allocation is calculated.

Note 6 – Investments in Private Investment Funds (continued)
The following is a summary of the investment strategies of the Private Investment Funds held in the Fund as of March 31, 2022:
Fixed Income strategies generally include investments in secured leveraged loans, high yield bonds, distressed debt, and global debt. Distressed debt strategies may include restricted securities and securities that may not be registered and for which a market may not be readily available.
Reinsurance strategies generally include investments in various insurance-based investment instruments, including insurance-linked securities and other financial instruments, the returns of which are tied primarily to insurance risk.
Multi-Strategy funds engage in a variety of investment strategies. This variety may help to smooth returns, reduce volatility and decrease asset-class and single-strategy risks. These strategies may include, but are not limited to, convertible bond arbitrage, equity long/short and merger arbitrage.
Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure
The Fund measures fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
● |
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in an active market. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily-accessible at the measurement date, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment. |
● |
Level 2 – Quoted prices in non-active markets for which all significant inputs are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may also include pricing models whose inputs are observable or derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. |
● |
Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value and unobservable. Little if any market activity exists for Level 3 securities. |

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)
Note 8 – Capital Share Transactions
The Fund offers two separate classes of Shares, Class I Shares and Class A Shares, to investors eligible to invest in the Fund.
The Fund accepts initial and additional subscriptions for Shares on subscription dates, which occur only once each month, effective as of the beginning of the first calendar day of the month at the relevant NAV per Share of the Fund as of the end of the last calendar day of the prior month. All Class A Share subscriptions accepted into the Fund are received net of Class A Share Placement Fees. The Fund Board may discontinue accepting subscriptions at any time.
Because the Fund is a closed-end fund, and Shareholders do not have the right to require the Fund to redeem Shares, the Fund may from time to time offer to repurchase Shares pursuant to written tenders by Shareholders, in order to provide a limited degree of liquidity to Shareholders. Repurchases will be made at such times, in such amounts and on such terms as may be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. In determining whether the Fund should offer to repurchase Shares, the Board will consider a variety of operational, business and economic factors. The Adviser expects to ordinarily recommend that the Board authorize the Fund to offer to repurchase Shares from Shareholders quarterly with March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 valuation dates (or, if any such date is not a Business Day, on the last Business Day of such calendar quarter).
If the interval between the date of purchase of Shares and the valuation date with respect to the repurchase of such Shares is less than one year, then such repurchase will be subject to a 2% early withdrawal fee payable to the Fund. In determining whether the repurchase of Shares is subject to an early withdrawal fee, the Fund will repurchase those shares held the longest first.
Note 9 – Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Note 10 – Risk Factors
An investment in the Fund involves various risks. The Fund allocates assets to Investment Funds that invest in and actively trade securities and other financial instruments using a variety of strategies and investment techniques with significant risk characteristics, including the risks arising from the volatility of the equity, fixed income, commodity and currency markets, the risks of borrowings and short sales, the risks arising from leverage associated with trading in the equities, currencies and over-the-counter derivatives markets, the illiquidity of derivative instruments and the risk of loss from counterparty defaults.
No guarantee or representation is made that the investment program will be successful.
In early 2020, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged globally. This coronavirus has resulted in closing international borders, enhanced health screenings, healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general public concern and uncertainty. The impact of this outbreak has negatively affected the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial health of individual companies and the market in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Although vaccines for COVID- 19 are becoming more widely available, it is unknown how long circumstances related to the pandemic will persist, whether they will reoccur in the future, whether efforts to support the economy and financial markets will be successful, and what additional implications may follow from the pandemic. The impact of these events and other epidemics or pandemics in the future could adversely affect Fund performance.
In February 2022, Russia commenced a military attack on Ukraine. The outbreak of hostilities between the two countries and the threat of wider-spread hostilities could have a severe adverse effect on the region and global economies, including significant negative impacts on the markets for certain securities and commodities, such as oil and natural gas. In addition, sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and other countries, and any sanctions imposed in the future, could have a significant adverse impact on the Russian economy and related markets. The price and liquidity of investments may fluctuate widely as a result of the conflict and related events. How long the armed conflict and related events will last cannot be predicted. These tensions and any related events could have a significant impact on Fund performance and the value of Fund investments.
