When shares are sold, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Consequently, you can lose money by investing in the Fund. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data presented. The S&P 500 is an unmanaged indicator of stock market performance. Dividends are considered reinvested. You cannot invest directly in an index.
