Stock markets, especially foreign markets, are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. The securities of smaller, less well-known companies can be more volatile than those of larger companies.  'Growth' stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than other types of stocks. Foreign securities are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic, and political risks, all of which are magnified in emerging markets. The strategy may invest in a limited number of securities or sectors. This lack of diversification may increase volatility and risk of loss compared to more diversified portfolios. The strategy may not achieve its intended results and could underperform the market as a whole.

DEFINITIONS AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Russell 2000 Growth Index is a market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the performance of the small cap growth segment of the U.S. equity market. It includes those Russell 2000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth rates. Effective March 24, 2025, the index applies a capping methodology. Index constituents are capped quarterly so that no more than 22.5% of the index weight may be allocated to a single constituent, and the sum of the weights of all constituents representing more than 4.5% of the index should not exceed 45% of the total index weight. For periods prior to March 24, 2025, the index was uncapped.
