 company or industry, changing economic, political or market conditions, inflation, changes in interest rate levels, lack of liquidity in the markets, volatility in the equities or other securities markets, adverse investor sentiment or political events.

There is also a risk that the Fund’s investments will underperform either the securities markets generally or particular segments of the securities markets.

Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risk.The
Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets.
Governments may respond aggressively to such events, including by closing borders, restricting international and domestic travel, and
the imposition of prolonged quarantines or similar restrictions, as well as the forced or voluntary closure of, or operational changes
to, many retail and other businesses, which could have negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on markets worldwide.
War, terrorism, and related geopolitical events (and their aftermath) have led, and in the future may lead, to increased short-term market
volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on U.S. and world economies and markets generally. Likewise, natural and environmental
disasters, such as, for example, earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and weather-related phenomena generally, as well as
the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, including widespread epidemics or pandemics such as the COVID-19 outbreak
in 2020, and systemic market dislocations can be highly disruptive to economies and markets. Those events as well as other changes in
non-U.S. and domestic economic and political conditions also could adversely affect individual issuers or related groups of issuers,
securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of Fund investments.
