Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Harvesting commissions will reduce returns.

Specific Forestry-related Risks

When investing in trees, there is a risk that part or all of the investment amount may be lost. This material is not intended to be nor should be construed as a guarantee, warranty or profit forecast. Investors should consider the following risk factors in evaluating the suitability of a forestry investment, and be aware that there may be other risks involved that are not addressed in this material. Forestry investments are subject to risk of damage from earthquakes, fires, floods, fungi, pests, disease, wind and other natural disasters which may reduce the value of your trees or the ability to sell them. The price of timber fluctuates periodically, and may be significantly lower than current when brought to market. International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in political policies may adversely affect the price of trees, land ownership or the ability to harvest or bring trees to market, which may negatively and materially impact the return on investment. Some overseas markets may not be as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower the value of trees and returns.
