Mid-Capitalization companies are subject to higher volatility than those of large-capitalized companies. Unconstrained Eclectic strategies have a flexible investment style that does not limit the fund to a single asset class or security type. Absolute Return has a goal of providing positive returns in all market conditions. It tends to have low volatility, provide bond-like returns, and have a very low correlation to bonds and stocks. Value investments can perform differently from the markets as a whole. They can remain undervalued by the market for long periods of time. Because of their narrow focus, sector investing will be subject to greater volatility than investing more broadly across many sectors and companies. Mortgage Backed Securities are subject to credit, default, prepayment risk that acts much like call risk when you get your principal back sooner than the stated maturity, extension risk, the opposite of prepayment risk, market and interest rate risk.
