Fund Performance

ESG Managers® Portfolios are multi-manager funds, which are a mix of underlying Sleeve Subadviser portfolios. The Funds’ allocations may change due to market fluctuations and other factors. Emerging market and international investments involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, differences in generally accepted accounting principles, economic or political instability in other nations or increased volatility and lower trading volume. Yield and share price will vary with changes in interest rates and market conditions. Investors should note that if interest rates rise significantly from current levels, bond fund total returns will decline and may even turn negative in the short term. There is also a chance that some of the fund’s holdings may have their credit rating downgraded or may default.
