The performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Market price returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at 4:00 p.m. ET (when NAV is normally determined for most funds) and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. Your brokerage commissions will reduce returns. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For standardized returns and performance data current to the most recent month end, see above.

Index
About the Index
The S&P Merger Arbitrage Index is designed to measure the performance of a risk arbitrage strategy that exploits commonly observed price changes associated with publicly announced mergers, acquisitions, or other corporate reorganizations.
A globalmerger arbitrage strategy seeks to capture the spread between the price at which the stock of a company (a "Target") trades after a proposed acquisition of the Target is announced and the value that the acquiring company (the "Acquirer") has proposed to pay for the stock of the Target (a "Spread").
