Network, as of 06/29/2010. Fuse defines the alternative category
based on funds that use 'hedge like' investment strategies. Fuse
begins with a universe of fund categories labeled "alternative" by
Morningstar. From this universe, Fuse excludes pure inverse and
leveraged funds, certain currency funds, and long-only precious
metals funds. Fuse then identifies funds not categorized by
Morningstar as "Alternative" but which employ 'hedge-like'
strategies. The Fuse universe of Alternative Strategy mutual funds
is reviewed and updated monthly on a best efforts basis.
Diversification neither assures a profit nor eliminates the risk
of experiencing investment losses.
Investing in alternative investments is not
suitable for all investors and involves special risks such as risk
associated with short sales, leveraging the investment, potential
adverse market forces, regulatory changes, and potential
illiquidity. Investing in alternative strategies presents the
opportunity for significant losses. There is no assurance that the
investment objective will be attained.
ETFs may not be suitable for all
investors. • Investment returns and principal value will
fluctuate so that when shares are redeemed, they may be worth more
or less than original cost. Most investors will also incur
customary brokerage commissions when buying or selling shares of an
ETF. • Investments in securities and derivatives, in general, are
subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate
over time. • ETF Shares may trade below their net asset value
("NAV"). The NAV of shares will fluctuate with changes in the
market value of an ETF's holdings. In addition, there can be no
assurance that an active trading market for shares will develop or
be maintained.
