Realized Beta of Fund to Index: A measure of the amount the fund has tended to move given a move in the specified Index using three-day
overlapping returns. A beta of 1 indicates that if the index has moved 10% over a three-day period, the fund has tended to move, on average,
10% over the same period. A beta of more than 1 indicates the fund has tended to move, on average, more than 10% in that case, and a beta
of less than one indicates the fund has tended to move less than 10% in that case.

Foreign investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuations and political uncertainty. The use of derivatives, forward and futures Copenhagen
contracts, and commodities exposes the Fund to additional risks including increased volatility, lack of liquidity, and possible losses greater than
the Fund’s initial investment as well as increased transaction costs. This fund enters into a short sale by selling a security it has borrowed. If
the market price of a security increases after the Fund borrows the security, the Fund will suffer a potentially unlimited loss when it replaces
the borrowed security at the higher price. Short sales also involve transaction and other costs that will reduce potential Fund gains and
increase potential Fund losses. When investing in bonds, yield and share price will vary with changes in interest rates and market conditions.
Investors should note that if interest rates rise significantly from current levels, bond total returns will decline and may even turn negative in
the short term. There is also a chance that some of the fund’s holdings may have their credit rating downgraded or may default. Actual or
realized volatility can and will differ from the forecasted or target volatility described above.
This Fund is not suitable for all investors. An investor considering the Funds should be able to tolerate potentially wide price fluctuations. The Yao Hua Ooi
