RISKS AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
This Trust is not being offered for sale. This data is for informational purposes only.
You can lose money by investing in the Trust. The Trust also might not perform as well as you expect. Securities prices can be volatile. The value of your investment may fall over time. Share prices or distributions of the securities in the Trust may decline during the life of the Trust. This may result in a reduction in the value of your units. The Trust includes REITs and other real estate securities. REITs and other real estate securities may concentrate their investments in specific geographic areas or in specific property types, such as, hotels, shopping malls, residential complexes and office buildings. The value of the REITs and other real estate securities and the ability of such securities to distribute income may be adversely affected by several factors, including rising interest rates, changes in the global and local economic climate and real estate conditions, perceptions of prospective tenants of the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the properties, the ability of the owner to provide adequate management, maintenance and insurance, increased competition from new properties, the impact of present or future environmental legislation and compliance with environmental laws, changes in real estate taxes and other operating expenses, adverse changes in governmental rules and fiscal policies, adverse changes in zoning laws, and other factors beyond the control of the issuer of the security. The Trust is concentrated in securities issued by companies in the financial sector. A concentration makes the Trust subject to more market risk. Companies in the financial sector include banks, insurance companies and investment firms. The profitability of companies in the financial sector is largely dependent upon the availability and cost of capital which may fluctuate significantly in response to changes in interest rates and general economic developments. The Trust includes securities issued by mid-capitalization and small-capitalization companies. These stocks customarily involve more risk than large-cap or more seasonal stocks. Mid-cap and small-cap companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be more vulnerable to adverse general market or economic developments. The Trust invests in foreign securities. The Trust’s investment in foreign securities presents additional risk. Securities of foreign issuers present risks beyond those of domestic securities. More specifically, foreign risk is the risk that foreign securities will be more volatile than U.S. securities due to such factors as adverse economic, currency, political, social or regulatory developments in a country, including government seizure of assets, excessive taxation, limitations on the use or transfer of assets, the lack of liquidity or regulatory controls or differing legal and/or accounting standards. These markets are generally more volatile than countries with more mature economies. Inflation may decrease the value of money. Inflation may lead to a decrease in the value of assets or income from investments. The sponsor does not actively manage the portfolio. The Trust will generally hold, and may continue to buy, the same securities even though the security’s outlook, rating, market value or yield may have changed.
Please see the Trust prospectus for more complete risk information.
