Equity strategies are primarily subject to all the investment risks associated with stocks. Stocks have shown greater growth potential than other types of securities, but they have also shown greater volatility and risk of loss. Strategies that focus on small- or mid-cap stocks are generally more volatile and subject to greater risk. Strategies that invest in foreign or emerging markets are subject to special risks that are not normally associated with domestic investment, including possible adverse currency fluctuations and political, social and economic risks. There can be no assurance that any strategy will achieve its objective.
