NOTE: As you move from left to right on the graph - increasing risk - there are different portfolios that can offer higher return potential, which is also matched by higher loss potential. As with any type of portfolio structuring, attempting to increase return or reduce risk can result in unintentional reduction of returns. See the prospectus section "Who should invest in this fund?" for more information.
