An investment in any Fund involves risk, including possible loss of principal. The principal risks of investing in Funds include equity, market, management and non-diversification risks. The market value of a security or instrument may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally.
Other risks include:
Small- and Medium-Sized Company Risk: Investing in the securities of small- and medium-sized companies generally will be more volatile, and loss of principal could be greater than investing in the securities of larger, more established companies.
Dividend Investment Risk: Dividends are not guaranteed. A company’s future abilities to pay dividends may be limited and a company may cease paying dividends at any time.
Indirect Foreign Exposure Risk: Investments in foreign companies are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations, social, economic, and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility.
Sector Concentration Risk: The Fund may concentrate its investments in companies that are in a single sector or related sector. Concentrating investments in a single sector may make the Fund more susceptible to adverse economic, business, regulatory or other developments affecting that sector. If an economic downturn occurs in a sector in which the Fund’s investments are concentrated, the Fund may perform poorly during that period.
ESG Investing Risk: Investing primarily in investments that meet ESG criteria carries the risk that the fund may forgo otherwise attractive investment opportunities or increase or decrease its exposure to certain types of issuers and, therefore, may underperform funds that do not consider ESG factors.
Fixed Income Risks: Fixed income funds are subject to additional risk in that they may invest in high-yield/high-risk bonds and may be subject to greater levels of liquidity risk. Additionally, investing in bonds entails interest rate risk and credit risk.
Municipal Securities Risk: Municipal bond fund income may be subject to state and local income taxes and the alternative minimum tax. Capital gains, if any, will be subject to capital gains tax. Investments in municipal bonds are subject to interest rate risk, or the risk that the bonds will decline in value because of changes in market interest rates. Municipal bonds are also subject to call risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, below investment grade securities risk, and interest rate futures risk.
Single-State Investment Risk: A fund that invests primarily in instruments issued by or on behalf of one state will generally be more volatile and loss of principal could be greater due to state specific risk. Please refer to the prospectus for each fund’s specific risks.
Foreign investment and Emerging Markets risk: Foreign investments can be riskier than U.S. investments. Potential risks include adverse political and legal developments affecting issuers located and/or doing business in foreign countries, currency risk that may result from unfavorable exchange rates, liquidity risk if decreased demand for a security makes it difficult to sell at the desired price, and risks that stem from substantially lower trading volume on foreign markets. These risks are generally greater for investments in emerging markets, which are also subject to greater price volatility, and custodial and regulatory risks.

Investing involves risk. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, and an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), may trade at a discount or premium to NAV, and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. ETFs are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. ETFs are subject to issuer risks and other risks specific to the Fund. The Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or sectors. There is no guarantee the Fund will meet its investment objective.
