A non-diversified portfolio may invest a larger portion of assets in securities of a smaller number of issuers and performance of a single issuer may affect overall portfolio performance greater than in a diversified portfolio.
The portfolio’s use of derivative instruments may create additional leverage and involve risks different from, or greater than, the risks associated with investing in more traditional investments.
High portfolio turnover may adversely affect returns due to increased transaction costs and creation of additional tax consequences.
Securities of small- and medium-sized companies tend to have a shorter history of operations, be more volatile and less liquid and may have underperformed securities of large companies during some periods.
International investments involve special risks, including currency fluctuation, lower liquidity, different accounting methods and economic and political systems, and higher transaction costs. These risks typically are greater in emerging markets.
These risks are discussed in the prospectus. Please read it carefully before you invest or send money.

All options positions are displayed on a delta-adjusted basis. Delta adjustment is necessary to properly account for the sensitivity of options to changes in price of the underlying security, as well as for making exposure comparisons to the underlying security (measuring options exposure as premium will understate the economic exposure and risk, while measuring exposure as notional value will overstate the economic exposure). Delta-adjusted exposure is a measure for the exposure on the equity market created by the options. This estimation of the equity exposure of a portfolio is only approximate. The delta-adjusted exposure changes over time and is a function of the size and the precise composition of the options portfolio.
