Investing in index funds may be more volatile than investing in broadly diversified funds. The use of leverage by a mutual fund increases the risk to the fund. The more a fund invests in leveraged instruments the more the leverage will magnify gains or losses on those investments.

The principal risks of investing in the Latin America Bull 2x Fund are Market Timing Activity and High Portfolio Turnover, Risk of Tracking Error, Risks of Aggressive Investment Techniques, Leverage Risk, Counterparty Risks, Risk of Non-Diversification, Interest Rate Changes, Risks of Investing in Other Investment Companies and ETFs, Adverse Market Conditions, Credit Risk, Risks of Investing in Equity Securities, Risks of Investing in Foreign Instruments, Currency Exchange Rates, and Risks of Investing in Emerging Markets Instruments. Also, it is important to note that Latin America has generally been characterized by substantial economic instability resulting from, among other things, political unrest, high interest and inflation rates, currency devaluations and government deficits. The economies of Latin America are heavily dependent on the health of the U.S. economy and, because commodities such as oil and gas, minerals, and metals, represent a significant percentage of the region's exports, the economies of Latin American countries are sensitive to fluctuations in commodity prices. The economies of the countries in the region may be impacted by the policies or economic problems of other Latin American countries. As a result of these factors, an investment in the Latin America Funds may experience significant volatility.
