Primary risks include currency volatility, international market fluctuations, and the tracking error associated with active management.

Investor Fit
| Investor style | Fit | Why |

| Dividend/Income investor | Mixed fit | While many holdings pay dividends, the fund prioritizes capital appreciation over yield maximization. |
