This is not intended as a recommendation, offer or solicitation for the purchase or sale of any financial instrument. References to specific sectors, securities or issuers are for illustrative purposes only. All holdings are subject to change daily. All share classes have the same portfolio but different expenses.

 

The Fund's investments in non-U.S. securities may be subject to rapid and more extreme changes in value. The securities markets of many foreign countries may be smaller than the U.S. market. Equity issuers in such countries may not be subject to the same degree of securities regulation as U.S. issuers, and accounting and financial reporting standards may differ from those in the U.S. Government interference in the economy may be prevalent for many non-U.S. securities markets. These risk factors are pronounced with emerging markets securities. The Fund may also invest in initial public offerings (IPOs), which can be highly volatile. Stocks issued in IPOs have no trading histories, and information about the companies may be available for very limited periods.

 

The Fund may invest in derivatives (including options, futures, forward contracts and swap agreements) for purposes including risk management, for leverage (including borrowing), and to gain exposure to other types of investments. Derivatives involve the risk that a counterparty may not be able to comply with the derivatives contract; difficulties in liquidating a derivatives position advantageously; and the risk that the use of derivatives for leverage may increase the Fund's volatility, with larger gains or losses possible; The successful use of derivatives depends on the buyer or seller being correct about the size and timing of market movements, which are inherently uncertain. Valuation uncertainties also exist with derivatives.

 

Risk Section Source: IDS GmbH-Analysis and Reporting Services, an investment analysis and reporting service which is a subsidiary of Allianz SE. This section is based on the actual share class and measures volatility. The overall market is represented by the unmanaged index which is the fund?s official benchmark in its prospectus. Beta measures the market related volatility of a portfolio. The beta of the market is 1 by definition. A beta greater than 1 indicates that a portfolios market risk is greater than the overall markets, while a beta less than 1 indicates a lower market risk. It is important to note that having a low market risk does not necessarily imply low volatility. A portfolio may have a low beta while experiencing volatility due to factors independent of the market. R-squared measures the percentage of a portfolio's movements that are explained by movements in the overall market. Standard deviation is an absolute measure of volatility measuring dispersion about an average which, for a mutual fund, depicts how widely the returns varied over a certain period of time.

 

In the statistics section, P/E Ratio, P/B Ratio and Median Market Cap. are the averages of the P/E, P/B and market capitalization of the issues held by the fund. P/E is a ratio of security price to earnings per share. Typically, an undervalued security is characterized by a low P/E ratio, while an overvalued security is characterized by a high P/E ratio. P/B is a ratio of the security price to the book value; it is used to identify undervalued stocks. Market capitalization is the value of a corporation as determined by the market price of its issued and outstanding common stock. It is calculated by multiplying the number of outstanding shares by the current share price.
