Investing involves risk including the risk of loss of principal.
Options investing entail a high degree of risk and may not be appropriate for all investors.
Hedging involves taking offsetting positions intended to reduce the volatility of an asset. If the hedging position behaves differently than expected, the volatility of the strategy as a whole may increase and even exceed the volatility of the asset being hedged.
Low volatility funds can exhibit relative low volatility and excess returns compared to the Index over the long term; both portfolio investments and returns may differ from those of the Index. The fund may not experience lower volatility or provide returns in excess of the Index and may provide lower returns in periods of a rapidly rising market. Active stock selection may lead to added risk in exchange for the potential outperformance relative to the Index.
Actively managed funds do not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index.
The State Street Global Advisors Global Managed Volatility Fund and State Street Global Advisors Global ESG Screened Managed Volatility Fund (SSGA GMV) are actively managed and may underperform their benchmarks. An investment in the State Street Global Advisors Global Managed Volatility Fund or State Street Global Advisors Global ESG Screened Managed Volatility Fund (SSGA GMV) is not appropriate for all investors and is not intended to be a complete investment program. Investing in the State Street Global Advisors Global Managed Volatility Fund or State Street Global Advisors Global ESG Screened Managed Volatility Fund (SSGA GMV) involves risks, including the risk that investors may receive little or no return on the investment or that investors may lose part or even all of the investment.
A Smart Beta strategy does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified cap-weighted index and as such may underperform such an index. The factors to which a Smart Beta strategy seeks to deliver exposure may themselves undergo cyclical performance. As such, a Smart Beta strategy may underperform the market or other Smart Beta strategies exposed to similar or other targeted factors. In fact, we believe that factor premia accrue over the long term (5–10 years), and investors must keep that long time horizon in mind when investing.
