The Inc-2 Share Class may at the Board of Directors' discretion pay dividends gross of expense and therefore may effectively pay dividend out of capital. Inc-3 Share Class may at the Board of Directors' discretion pay dividend gross of expense or out from its capital. Paying dividend gross of expense or out of capital may amount to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. This may result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per Share.
IRD Share Class and Reference Currency Hedged Share Class may be subject to risks arising from uncertainty in interest rate and foreign exchange.
