Fixed income investments involve risks including credit risk, interest rate risk, default risk, and prepayment and extension risk. In general, bond prices rise when interest rates fall. .As the demand for or prices of natural resources increase, the Fund`s equity investment generally would be expected to also increase. Conversely, declines in demand for or prices of natural resources generally would be expected to cause declines in value of such equity securities. Such declines may occur quickly and without warning and may negatively impact your investment in the Fund.
