RISK CONSIDERATIONS
Diversificationneither assures a profit nor guarantees against loss in a declining market.
There is no assurance that a portfolio will achieve its investment objective. Portfolios are subject tomarket risk, which is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the portfolio will decline and that the value of portfolio shares may therefore be less than what you paid for them. Market values can change daily due to economic and other events (e.g. natural disasters, health crises, terrorism, conflicts and social unrest) that affect markets, countries, companies or governments. It is difficult to predict the timing, duration, and potential adverse effects (e.g. portfolio liquidity) of events. Accordingly, you can lose money investing in a portfolio.Fixed-income securitiesare subject to the ability of an issuer to make timely principal and interest payments (credit risk), changes in interest rates (interest rate risk), the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (market risk). In a rising interest-rate environment, bond prices may fall and may result in periods of volatility and increased portfolio redemptions. In a declining interest-rate environment, the portfolio may generate less income.Longer-term securitiesmay be more sensitive to interest rate changes. CertainU.S. government securitiespurchased by the strategy, such as those issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. It is possible that these issuers will not have the funds to meet their payment obligations in the future.Public bank loansare subject to liquidity risk and the credit risks of lower-rated securities.High-yield securities (junk bonds)are lower-rated securities that may have a higher degree of credit and liquidity risk.Sovereign debt securitiesare subject to default risk.Mortgage- and asset-backed securitiesare sensitive to early prepayment risk and a higher risk of default, and may be hard to value and difficult to sell (流动性风险). They are also subject to credit, market and interest rate risks. Thecurrency marketis highly volatile. Prices in these markets are influenced by, among other things, changing supply and demand for a particular currency; trade; fiscal, money and domestic or foreign exchange control programs and policies; and changes in domestic and foreign interest rates. Investments inforeign marketsentail special risks such as currency, political, economic and market risks. The risks of investing inemerging marketcountries are greater than the risks generally associated with foreign investments.Derivative instrumentsmay disproportionately increase losses and have a significant impact on performance. They also may be subject to counterparty, liquidity, valuation, and correlation and market risks.Restricted and illiquid securitiesmay be more difficult to sell and value than publicly traded securities (liquidity risk). Due to the possibility that prepayments will alter the cash flows oncollateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), it is not possible to determine in advance their final maturity date or average life. In addition, if the collateral securing the CMOs or any third-party guarantees are insufficient to make payments, the portfolio could sustain a loss.
