Prices and returns will vary, so investors may lose money. View .

Returns at net asset value (NAV) do not reflect a sales charge. If a sales charge had been deducted, the results would have been lower.

Investments are not FDIC-insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity, so they may lose value.

Investors should carefully consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other important information is contained in the fund , which can be obtained from a financial professional and should be read carefully before investing.

Investing outside the United States involves risks, such as currency fluctuations, periods of illiquidity and price volatility. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in developing countries.

Smaller company stocks entail additional risks, and they can fluctuate in price more than larger company stocks.
