Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The risks associated with Senior Loans are similar to the risks of below investment grade securities, although Senior Loans are typically senior and secured in contrast to other below investment grade securities, which are often subordinated and unsecured. Below investment grade securities may involve greater levels of interest rate, credit, liquidity, and valuation risk than higher-rated instruments. Narrowly focused funds typically exhibit higher volatility.
