Brokerage commissions and ETF expenses will reduce returns.<\/p>\n \nWhile the shares of ETFs are tradable on secondary markets, they may not readily trade in all market conditions and may trade at significant discounts in periods of market stress<\/b>.<\/p>\n Equity securities <\/b>may fluctuate in value and can decline significantly in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions.<\/p>\n \nReturns on investments in stocks of large companies<\/b> could trail the returns on investments in stocks of smaller and mid-sized companies.<\/p>\n Non-diversified funds <\/b>that focus on a relatively small number of securities tend to be more volatile than diversified funds and the market as a whole.<\/p>\n \nFunds managed with an index investment strategy<\/b> attempt to track the performance of an unmanaged index of securities, regardless of the current or projected performance of the index or of the actual securities comprising the index. This differs from an actively managed fund, which typically seeks to outperform a benchmark index. As a result, the performance of a fund managed with an index investment strategy may be less favorable than if such fund employed an active strategy. While a fund managed with an index investment strategy seeks to track the performance of an index as closely as possible, the fund\u2019s return may not match or achieve a high degree of correlation with the return of the index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, and cash flows.<\/p>\n Market Risk: <\/b>The Fund\u2019s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile, and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors, including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, inflation, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. The Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, military conflicts, acts of terrorism, trade policy changes or disputes, the threat or actual imposition of tariffs, natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments.<\/p>\n Intellectual Property Information:<\/b><\/p>\n \nThe S&P 500\u00ae Index is a product of S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC or its affiliates (\u201cS&P DJI\u201d) and have been licensed for use by State Street Global Advisors.
