        Investing involves risk including the risk of loss of principal. Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.

         

        Risk associated with equity investing includes stock values which may fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions.

         

        ETFs trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, fluctuate in market value and may trade at prices above or below the ETF’s net asset value. ETFs typically invest by sampling an index, holding a range of securities that, in the aggregate, approximates the full index in terms of key risk factors and other characteristics. This may cause the fund to experience tracking errors relative to performance of the index.
