The fund is new and has a limited operating history.

The Fund focuses its investments in securities of biotechnology and the healthcare industry. Economic, legislative or regulatory developments may occur that significantly affect these industries and cause the Fund’s net asset value to fluctuate due to this concentration.

The biotechnology industry can be significantly affected by patent considerations, including the termination of patent protections for products, intense competition both domestically and internationally, rapid technological change and obsolescence, government regulation and expensive insurance costs due to the risk of product liability lawsuits.

In addition, the biotechnology industry is an emerging growth industry, and therefore biotechnology companies may be thinly capitalized have limited product lines, distribution channels, resources and more volatile than companies with greater capitalizations. Biotechnology companies must contend with high development costs, which may be exacerbated by the inability to raise prices to cover costs because of managed care pressure, government regulation or price controls. Companies in the pharmaceutical industry are heavily dependent on patent protection. The expiration of patents may adversely affect the profitability of the companies. Pharmaceutical companies are also subject to extensive litigation based liability and approval of the Food and Drug Administration, a process that can be long and costly. Expanding international operations may lead to risks resulting from differences between U.S. and foreign legal, political and economic systems, regulatory regimes and market practices.

The Fund’s focus on the healthcare sector may cause its value to fluctuate and be more susceptible to particular risks of the sector such as extensive government regulations, restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure, an increased emphasis on outpatient services, changes in the demand for medical products and services, a limited number of products, industry innovation, changes in technologies and other market developments.
