There is no assurance that a portfolio will
achieve its investment objective or an investment strategy will work
under all market conditions. Portfolios are subject to market risk,
which is the possibility that the market value of securities owned by
the portfolio will decline. 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 this portfolio.
Please be aware that this portfolio may be subject to certain additional
risks. Changes in the worldwide economy, consumer spending,
competition, demographics and consumer preferences, government
regulation and economic conditions may adversely affect global franchise companies
and may negatively impact the strategy to a greater extent than if the
strategy's assets were invested in a wider variety of companies. ESG strategies
that incorporate impact investing and/or Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) factors could result in relative investment performance
deviating from other strategies or broad market benchmarks, depending
on whether such sectors or investments are in or out of favor in the
market. As a result, there is no assurance ESG strategies could result
in more favorable investment performance. In general, equities securities' values also fluctuate in response to activities specific to a company. Investments in foreign markets entail special risks such as currency, political, economic, market and liquidity risks. The risks of investing in emerging market countries are greater than risks associated with investments in foreign developed countries. Stocks of small- and medium capitalization
companies entail special risks, such as limited product lines, markets
and financial resources, and greater market volatility than securities
of larger, more established companies. Non-diversified portfolios
often invest in a more limited number of issuers. As such, changes in
the financial condition or market value of a single issuer may cause
greater volatility. Derivative instruments may disproportionately
increase losses and have a significant impact on performance. They also
may be subject to counterparty, liquidity, valuation, correlation and
market risks. Illiquid securities may be more difficult to sell and value than publicly traded securities (liquidity risk).
