Considering the risks: Bond prices generally move in the opposite direction of interest rates. Thus, as the prices of bonds in the fund adjust to a rise in interest rates, the fund's share price may decline. The price of a bond is affected by the issuer's or counterparty's credit quality. Changes in an entity's financial condition and general economic conditions can affect its ability to honor financial obligations and therefore its credit quality. Lower quality bonds are generally more sensitive to these changes than higher quality bonds. These and other risk considerations are discussed in the Fund's prospectus and summary prospectus.
The Fund's investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments.
The market value of a mutual fund's or ETFs total assets, minus liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding.

Quality Breakdown
The purpose of Moody's and Standard & Poor's credit ratings is to provide investors with a current opinion of the creditworthiness of which issuers or borrowers may be gauged and an indication of their capacity to meet financial obligations. Moody's uses nine ratings from least credit risk to greatest risk: i.e. Aaa, Aa, A, Baa, Ba, B, Caa, Ca, C. Baa and above are generally considered "investment grade" and Ba and below are considered "speculative". S&P's ratings range from AAA, AA, A, BBB, BB, B, CCC, R. BBB and above are generally considered "secure" and BB and below are considered "vulnerable".
