The portfolio's performance will vary from that of the strategy stocks because the portfolio may not be weighted the same as the strategy stocks and may not be fully invested at all times. The portfolios are often heavily weighted in only a few stocks, making them more volatile than an equally weighted portfolio. It is important to note that the strategy may underperform the index in certain years and may produce negative results. There may be tax consequences unless units are purchased in an IRA or other qualified plan. The strategy returns take into consideration annual sales charges, fees and expenses, but not taxes.
