Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.

Like any other stock, market price will fluctuate with the market. Upon sale, your shares may have a market price that is above or below net asset value and may be worth more or less than your original investment.
