Investors buy stock because they expect its value to increase, or because they expect the corporation to pay them dividend income, or a portion of its profits. In fact, many stocks provide both growth and income.
Stocks are volatile by nature, in part because they closely reflect the constantly changing prospects of the corporations that issue them. But they are also affected by investor psychology that can fluctuate between extreme optimism and deep pessimism.

Investors should be aware that performance returns are affected by market fluctuations. Investing entails risks, including possible loss of principal. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. Investors should note that the use of derivatives and investments involving a currency other than their own will create foreign exchange exposure, which involves special risks. It is the aim of the Company to preserve capital and, where applicable, to maintain a stable net asset value per share; these aims are not guaranteed. Additionally, investors should consider their investment objectives, whether or not they can assume these risks and should undertake their own appropriate professional advice.
