Growth Investing During Turbulent TimesGrowthInvestingDuringTurbulentTimes

Risks—Investing involves risks. Some investments are riskier than others. Foreign investments may be volatile and involve additional expenses and special risks, including currency fluctuations, foreign taxes, and political and economic uncertainties. Investments in securities of growth companies may be especially volatile. Due to the recent global economic crisis that caused financial difficulties for many European Union countries, eurozone investments may be subject to volatility and liquidity issues. Illiquidity risk exists when particular investments are hard to sell; geographic concentration can result in more pronounced risks based upon economic conditions that impact one or more countries or regions more or less than other countries or regions; and derivative securities may carry market, credit, and liquidity risks. Emerging markets are countries that are beginning to emerge with increased consumer potential driven by rapid industrial expansion and economic growth. Investing in emerging markets is very risky due to the additional political, economic, and currency risks associated with these underdeveloped geographic areas. Investing in the technology sector and in the securities of technology-related companies in other sectors will be more affected by the performance of the technology sector than investments that are more diversified, thereby increasing vulnerability to economic, political, or regulatory developments impacting technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, which will have a greater impact on returns.
