Risk Considerations:

The Funds' may invest in equity or fixed-income securities of issuers located in
countries considered to be emerging markets. Investments in such securities are
considered speculative. In addition to the general risks of investing in
non-U.S. securities, heightened risks of investing in emerging markets
securities include: smaller market capitalization of securities markets, which
may suffer periods of relative illiquidity; significant price volatility;
restrictions on foreign investment; and possible restrictions on repatriation of
investment income and capital. Furthermore, foreign investors may be required to
register the proceeds of sales, and future economic or political crises could
lead to price controls, forced mergers, expropriation or confiscatory taxation,
seizure, nationalization or creation of government monopolies. The currencies of
emerging market countries may experience significant declines against the U.S.
dollar, and devaluation may occur subsequent to investments in these currencies
by the Fund. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates have had, and
may continue to have, negative effects on the economies and securities markets
of certain emerging market countries.

Risk, Management Risk, Non-Investment Grade Securities Risk, Fixed-Income
Securities Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Non-U.S. Securities Risk, Government

Leverage Risk.
