Important Risk Considerations
Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) trade like stocks, are subject to investment risk, and will fluctuate in market value. Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price, not NAV, and are not individually redeemed from the fund. The market price at the time of sale may be higher or lower than the fund’s NAV, and any applicable brokerage commissions will reduce returns. There can be no guarantee that an active market for the funds will develop or be maintained.
The fund may not achieve its objective and/or you could lose money on your investment in the fund.
Stock: Stock markets and investments in individual stocks are volatile and can decline significantly in response to or investor perception of, issuer, market, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, environmental, public health, and other conditions.
International: Investments in foreign markets can involve greater risk and volatility than U.S. investments because of adverse market, currency, economic, industry, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions.
Please see the prospectus for further information on these and other risk considerations.
