Space Exploration (including design of commercial spacecrafts, space tourism, scientific research, or delivery of equipment or cargo to space); Rockets and Propulsion Systems (including products and services directly related to or to space vehicle systems or equipment, space payload, or other materials and equipment used to build spacecrafts or other vehicles used in space); Satellite Equipment and Communications Solutions (including systems and software for satellite-based communication but excluding Pay-TV and communications service providers); and Other Satellite Equipment (including satellite equipment, systems or software for areas such as research, earth observation, space imaging or GPS).
Because all or a portion of the Fund are being invested in securities denominated in foreign currencies, the Fund’s exposure to foreign currencies and changes in the value of foreign currencies versus the base currency may result in reduced returns for the Fund, and the value of certain foreign currencies may be subject to a high degree of fluctuation.
Investments in emerging market countries are subject to specific risks and securities are generally less liquid and less efficient and securities markets may be less well regulated. Specific risks may be heightened by currency fluctuations and exchange control; imposition of restrictions on the repatriation of funds or other assets; governmental interference; higher inflation; social, economic and political uncertainties.
The Fund’s assets may be concentrated in one or more particular sectors or industries. The Fund may be subject to the risk that economic, political or other conditions that have a negative effect on the relevant sectors or industries will negatively impact the Fund's performance to a greater extent than if the Fund’s assets were invested in a wider variety of sectors or industries.
