SMID Cap Growth Equity Strategy

Market risk: Security markets are volatile and may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, regulatory, political, or economic developments with different sectors of the market and different security types reacting differently to such developments.

Equity securities risk: Equity securities fluctuate in value and price in response to factors specific to the issuer of the security, such as management performance, financial condition, and market demand for the issuer's products or services, as well as factors unrelated to the fundamental condition of the issuer, including general market, economic, and political conditions.

Small-cap securities risk: If a strategy invests in the securities of smaller-capitalization companies, these securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than those of larger companies.

Foreign securities risk: If a strategy invests in the securities of non-U.S. issuers, these investments may be subject to lower liquidity, greater price volatility, and risks related to adverse political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and may be affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Alternative investment risk: Alternative investment strategies, which may include, but are not limited to, investing in nontraditional investments such as commodities, or following risk premia, managed futures, merger arbitrage, global multi-asset, long-short, market-neutral, systematic, or other tactical investment strategies, may involve complex security types or transactions and extensive short positions and/or focus on narrow segments of the market, which may increase and/or magnify the overall risks and volatility associated with the strategies.

Investors should know that this strategy deployed may be subject to additional investment risks. For important information about the investment manager, please refer to Form ADV Part 2.
