A WORD ABOUT RISK

 

There is no assurance that the trust will achieve its investment objective.  The trust is subject to market risk, which is the possibility that the market values of the stocks owned by the trust will decline and that the value of the trust shares may therefore be less than what you paid for them.  Accordingly, you can lose money investing in this trust.
