Fixed-income securities involve interest-rate, credit, inflation and
reinvestment risks; and possible loss of principal. As interest rates
rise, the value of fixed-income securities falls. International
investments are subject to special risks, including currency
fluctuations and social, economic and political uncertainties, which
could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging
markets.
Municipal securities are vulnerable to unfavorable developments in
their particular state and municipalities. An investor in a municipal
security may be subject to the Federal Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT),
and state and local taxes may apply. Capital gains, if any, are fully
taxable.
Before investing, carefully consider a fund's investment objectives,
risks, charges and expenses. You can find this and other information
in each prospectus, which is available at
