Note

Annual negative returns can occur in consecutive years and may exceed the estimated standard risk measure. For example, the Trustee Selection Strategy is estimated to experience on average 4 to 6 negative annual returns in any 20 years. Despite this expectation, negative annual returns can occur consecutively. Further negative annual returns may also be experienced after these negative returns and within the same 20 year time frame.
