a Returns shown for Class A, B and C shares for the periods prior to their inception on March 19, 2001 are derived from the historical performance of Class S shares of the Scudder Greater Europe Growth Fund during such periods and have been adjusted to reflect the higher gross total annual operating expenses of each specific class. The difference in expenses will affect performance.
b The Fund's growth of an assumed $10,000 investment is adjusted for the maximum sales charge of 5.75%. This results in a net initial investment of $9,425.
c Returns shown for Class A, B and C shares for the periods prior to their inception on March 19, 2001 are derived from the historical performance of Class S shares of the Scudder Greater Europe Growth Fund during such periods and have been adjusted to reflect the higher gross total annual operating expenses and the current applicable sales charges of each specific class. Returns for Class A reflect the current maximum initial sales charges of 5.75%. Class B share performance is adjusted for the applicable CDSC, which is 4% within the first year after purchase, declining to 0% after six years. Class C shares have no adjustment for sales charges, but redemptions within one year of purchase may be subject to a CDSC of 1%. The difference in expenses will affect performance.
+ The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted measure of 15 stock markets in Europe. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends net of withholding tax and, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly into an index.

All performance is historical, assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains, and is not indicative of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than when purchased. Performance figures do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. If the Advisor had not maintained the Fund's expenses, the total returns would have been lower. Returns and rankings may differ by share class.

Investments in funds involve risk. Some funds have more risk than others. These include funds that allow exposure to or otherwise concentrate investments in certain sectors, geographic regions, security types, market capitalization or foreign securities (e.g., political or economic instability, which can be accentuated in emerging market countries).

Economic Overview


Dear Shareholder:

In recent months, signals about the United States economic recovery have been mixed. While gross domestic product (GDP) has been growing at a rate of about 3 percent since late 2001, the nation's unemployment rate climbed to 6 percent in November, the highest level since April. During the late summer and early fall months, consumers spent less money than they did in the earlier part of the year. Companies, fearful that consumers would not buy their products and that they would be left with vast inventories of goods they could not sell (and were costly to store), slowed their manufacturing. Since companies weren't manufacturing as many products, they needed fewer employees - and thus hired fewer workers.

The good news is that we believe this slowdown is the temporary result of corporate financial scandals and political uncertainty, and the recovery will ultimately continue.

Several things are helping to keep the economy on track. First and perhaps foremost, the government has lowered interest rates to keep the economy from slowing down too much. Throughout the year, the Federal Reserve Board has said that it believes interest rates are low enough to encourage an economic recovery. It promised, however, to look out for signs of a slowdown and to cut rates again if necessary. The Fed saw the same signs of slowing that we did, and on November 6, cut 50 basis points (one-half percentage point). We believe the Fed will cut more if necessary, and will not begin to raise rates until well into 2003, after the economic recovery becomes stronger.

Another factor keeping the economy on track is a robust housing sector. Because interest rates have been low, people have been buying more homes. The Commerce Department said new home sales rose 6.4 percent in November - the largest monthly percentage jump since December 2000. And when people buy homes - as when they buy any other products - the economy is stimulated.



How will the slowdown and ultimate recovery affect the fixed-income markets? Interest rates and bond prices tend to move in opposite directions. So as interest rates have fallen, bond prices have risen. But when the recovery eventually strengthens and the Fed raises interest rates, bond prices will likely fall again. But we don't expect them to fall too drastically, because we don't expect interest rates to increase too drastically.

How will the slowdown and ultimate recovery affect the equity markets? Stock prices catapulted to what we believe were unjustified levels in the late 1990s. Stocks still aren't cheap, especially given the recent rally. But prices have now returned to more reasonable levels. While we don't expect stock prices to fall drastically, we don't expect them to come anywhere close to what we saw during the 1980s and 1990s.

The situation is similar abroad. Economic activity remains sluggish, with Japan and much of Europe struggling. But, as in the United States, we expect activity to improve gradually next year.

In the following interview, London-based Lead Portfolio Manager Alexander "Sandy" Black discusses Scudder Greater Europe Growth Fund's strategy and the market environment during the 12-month period ended October 31, 2002, and offers an outlook for the months ahead.

Q: How did Scudder Greater Europe Growth Fund perform over the past 12 months?

A: Scudder Greater Europe Growth Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe Index, for the period under review. The MSCI Europe benchmark is an unmanaged and capitalization-weighted index. It measures 15 stock markets in Europe. Scudder Greater Europe Growth Fund's total return was -18.29 percent (Class A shares unadjusted for sales charges) for the 12 months ended October 31, 2002. The benchmark declined 13.88 percent. For the majority of the fiscal period, the fund's growth bias hurt the fund. By growth bias we mean that we focus on stocks with strong cash flow and earnings growth. Value stocks performed more strongly than growth stocks over the past 12 months.Scudder Greater Europe Growth Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe Index, for the period under review. The MSCI Europe benchmark is an unmanaged and capitalization-weighted index. It measures 15 stock markets in Europe. Scudder Greater Europe Growth Fund's total return was -18.09 percent (Class S shares) for the 12 months ended October 31, 2002. The benchmark declined 13.88 percent. For the majority of the fiscal period, the fund's growth bias hurt the fund. By growth bias we mean that we focus on stocks with strong cash flow and earnings growth. Value stocks performed more strongly than growth stocks over the past 12 months.Scudder Greater Europe Growth Fund was slightly more resilient than its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Europe Index, for the period under review. The MSCI Europe benchmark is an unmanaged and capitalization-weighted index. It measures 15 stock markets in Europe. Scudder Greater Europe Growth Fund fell XX% (Class S shares/Class A shares unadjusted for sales charges) for the 12 months ended October 31, 2002. The benchmark declined YY%. The main reason the fund declined less than the benchmark was effective stock selection during the annual period. On the other hand, the fund's growth bias hurt the fund. By growth bias we mean that we focus on stocks with strong cash flow and earnings growth. Value stocks performed more strongly than growth stocks over the past 12 months.

Q: What were the best and worst individual stock performers for the fund during the annual period?

A: The biggest contributors to fund returns included:

Spain's Banco Popular Espanol

Italy's oil and gas company ENI

France's construction company Vinci

Finland's wireless telephone giant Nokia

On the other hand, the major detractors from fund performance, which we have either reduced our position or eliminated from the fund, included:

France's information technology consulting firm Altran Technologies

France's aluminum company Pechiney

Germany's MLP, Munich Re and Allianz (all financial holdings)

Q: Did sector positioning have an impact on fund performance?

A: In Scudder Greater Europe Growth Fund, sector positioning is a result of bottom-up individual stock selection, not sector bets.* That said, the fund had more exposure to the energy sector than did the benchmark through most of the year. A combination of a warm winter and big inventories hurt energy stocks earlier on. More recently, tensions in the Middle East supported higher prices of crude oil. During the period, we increased the portfolio's positions in Italy's ENI and the UK's BP. If war does indeed happen with Iraq, then we'll probably reduce the fund's position in this sector, because we believe that oil prices would likely fall once the conflict ended.

* Bottom-up stock picking refers to the process by which a stock is evaluated on its own merits prior to considering the impact of economic trends. The stocks may be analyzed according to research reports, data screens such as earnings reports or by personal knowledge of the products and services of the issuing company.

The fund also has a bigger weighting in health care than the benchmark. This sector performed well during the year for several reasons. For example, as the world population ages, there is relatively stable demand in this sector. The fund's health care holdings included France's Aventis, Germany's Fresenius Medical Care and Schering and Switzerland's Roche Holdings.

Additionally, the fund was slightly more invested than the index in the information technology and telecommunications sectors, though not deliberately. Some of the fund's holdings appreciated enough so that its allocations in these sectors were bigger than the benchmark's. The major holdings were Nokia and the Netherlands' ASML Holdings, both leaders in their industries.

On the flip side, the fund's biggest underweight was in the financials sector. There have been some attractive companies in this sector, but we have been concerned about the continuing decline in credit quality, especially in banks. These stocks performed well during the first half of the period because of a low-interest-rate environment and their relatively low prices. However, there were more bank loan defaults in the second half. The fund was also underweight in insurance companies, because many did not seem to have adequate capital. However, we expect a recovery in this subsector sometime in 2003. So, we are looking to take advantage of current lower stock prices to increase the fund's weighting in insurers that we like. We find it easier to mitigate the market risk of insurers than the credit risk of banks. The fund was also underweight in the materials and consumer staples sectors.

Regionally, the fund had less exposure to the United Kingdom than to Continental Europe. That's because it was harder to find attractive growth companies in the United Kingdom.

Q: Was the overall European equity market environment helpful to the fund's performance?

A: The European equity markets performed better than the US markets on a relative basis, but it's no secret that most global markets suffered big declines. There was extreme volatility, and market sentiment swung back and forth between optimism and fears of a profitless economic recovery.

At first, many people expected global economic recovery, so most of the European equity markets rallied in the last months of 2001. During the first half of 2002, those hopes lost some momentum, though. The last four months of the period were a roller coaster of bear market declines and rallies. Political risks, corporate scandals, sluggish economic activity and no action from the European Central Bank all hurt the performance of European equities.

The United Kingdom was the best-performing European market, partly because many health care and oil companies are British. (Health care and oil, together with materials, were the best performing sectors in the MSCI Europe Index for the annual period.) Germany was the worst performer of the developed markets. Germany's equity market suffered most from poor economic growth. From a sector perspective, financials and information technology lagged.

Q: What is your outlook for European equity markets?

A: Our view is somewhat optimistic. We think equity markets may be close to their bottoms. While we look forward to a broad market recovery, we do not believe it will be a rapid one. Political tension and the subdued outlook for economic growth will probably continue to dampen corporate earnings forecasts. We believe that European equity markets should begin to produce modest positive returns in 2003. We are beginning to once again see some attractive investment opportunities, which should, in turn, help to re-establish investor confidence. We remain committed to European equity markets, with stock selection the key to our investment strategy.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio managers only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The managers' views are subject to change at any time, based on market and other conditions and should not be construed as a recommendation.

Notes to Financial Statements


A. Significant Accounting Policies

Scudder Greater Europe Growth Fund (the "Fund") is a non-diversified series of Scudder International Fund, Inc., (the "Corporation") which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Maryland Corporation.

The Fund offers multiple classes of shares which provide investors with different purchase options. Class A shares are offered to investors subject to an initial sales charge. Class B shares are offered without an initial sales charge but are subject to higher ongoing expenses than Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge payable upon certain redemptions. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares six years after issuance. Class C shares are offered without an initial sales charge but are subject to higher ongoing expenses than Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge payable upon certain redemptions within one year of purchase. Class C shares do not convert into another class. Shares of Class AARP are designed for members of AARP. Class S shares of the Fund are generally not available to new investors. Class AARP and S shares are not subject to initial or contingent deferred sales charges. Certain detailed information for the Class A, B and C shares is provided separately and is available upon request.Certain detailed information for the Class AARP and S shares is provided separately and is available upon request.

Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses and expense reductions, if any, are borne pro rata on the basis of relative net assets by the holders of all classes of shares, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution service fees, administrative fees and certain other class-specific expenses. Differences in class-level expenses may result in payment of different per share dividends by class. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting subject to class-specific arrangements.

The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The policies described below are followed consistently by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation. Investments are stated at value determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the exchange is open for trading. Equity securities are valued at the most recent sale price reported on the exchange (US or foreign) or over-the-counter market on which the security is traded most extensively. Securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations on the relevant market or, if a mean cannot be determined, at the most recent bid quotation.

Money market instruments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less, maturing at par, are valued at amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies and Scudder Cash Management QP Trust are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued in a manner that is intended to reflect their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Directors.

Foreign Currency Translations. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in US dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into US dollars at the prevailing exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into US dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the disposition of forward foreign currency exchange contracts and foreign currencies, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the US dollar amount actually received. That portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed but is included with net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investment securities.

Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Fund, through its custodian or sub-custodian bank, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the amount of which at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day is required to be maintained at such a level that the value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest.

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between a buyer or seller and an established futures exchange or its clearinghouse in which the buyer or seller agrees to take or make a delivery of a specific amount of a financial instrument at a specified price on a specific date (settlement date). The Fund may enter into futures contracts as a hedge against anticipated interest rate, currency or equity market changes, and for duration management, risk management and return enhancement purposes.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a financial intermediary an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value indicated in the futures contract. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by the Fund dependent upon the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. When entering into a closing transaction, the Fund will realize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contract to sell and the futures contract to buy. Futures contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price.

Certain risks may arise upon entering into futures contracts, including the risk that an illiquid secondary market will limit the Fund's ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date and that a change in the value of a futures contract may not correlate exactly with the changes in the value of the securities or currencies hedged. When utilizing futures contracts to hedge, the Fund gives up the opportunity to profit from favorable price movements in the hedged positions during the term of the contract.

Federal Income Taxes. The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which are applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Fund paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.

At October 31, 2002 the Fund had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $242,381,000 which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until October 31, 2009 ($154,507,000) and October 31, 2010 ($87,874,000), the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first.

Distribution of Income and Gains. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are made annually. Net realized gains from investment transactions, in excess of available capital loss carryforwards, would be taxable to the Fund if not distributed, and, therefore, will be distributed to shareholders at least annually.

The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences primarily relate to foreign denominated investments and certain securities sold at a loss. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. Accordingly, the Fund may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts without impacting the net asset value of the Fund.

At October 31, 2002, the Fund's components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax-basis are as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income
$ 2,564,602
Undistributed net long-term capital gains
$ -
Capital loss carryforwards
$ (242,381,000)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments
$ (40,121,811)

In addition, during the year ended October 31, 2002, the tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Fund is summarized as follows:

Distributions from ordinary income
$ 2,169,402

For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

Redemption Fees. Upon the redemption or exchange of shares held by Class S shareholders for less than six months, a fee of 2% of the current net asset value of the shares will be assessed and retained by the Fund for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.

Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date net of foreign withholding taxes. Certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded subsequent to the ex-dividend date as soon as the Fund is informed of such dividends. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

B. Purchases and Sales of Securities

During the year ended October 31, 2002, purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) aggregated $516,450,408 and $687,038,900, respectively.

C. Related Parties

On April 5, 2002, 100% of Zurich Scudder Investments, Inc. ("ZSI") was acquired by Deutsche Bank AG with the exception of Threadneedle Investments in the U.K. Upon the closing of this transaction, ZSI became part of Deutsche Asset Management and changed its name to Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DeIM" or the "Advisor"). Effective April 5, 2002, the investment management agreement with ZSI was terminated and DeIM became the investment advisor for the Fund. The management fee rate paid by the Fund under the new Investment Management Agreement (the "Management Agreement") is the same as the previous investment management agreement.

Management Agreement. Under the Management Agreement, the Advisor directs the investments of the Fund in accordance with its investment objectives, policies and restrictions. The Advisor determines the securities, instruments and other contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or entered into by the Fund. In addition to portfolio management services, the Advisor provides certain administrative services in accordance with the Management Agreement. The management fee payable under the Management Agreement is equal to an annual rate of 1.00% of the first $1,000,000,000 of the Fund's average daily net assets, 0.90% of the next $500,000,000 of such net assets, 0.85% of the next $500,000,000 of such net assets and 0.80% of such net assets in excess of $2,000,000,000, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly. Accordingly, for the year ended October 31, 2002, the fee pursuant to the Management Agreement was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 1.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Effective April 5, 2002, Deutsche Asset Management Investment Services Ltd. ("DeAMIS"), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as subadvisor with the respect to the investment and reinvestment of assets in the Fund.

Administrative Fee. Under the Administrative Agreement (the "Administrative Agreement"), the Advisor provides or pays others to provide substantially all of the administrative services required by the Fund (other than those provided by the Advisor under its Management Agreement with the Fund, as described above) in exchange for the payment by each class of the Fund of an administrative services fee (the "Administrative Fee") of 0.375%, 0.375%, 0.400%, 0.450% and 0.425% of the average daily net assets for Class AARP, S, A, B and C shares, respectively, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly.

Various third-party service providers, some of which are affiliated with the Advisor, provide certain services to the Fund under the Administrative Agreement. Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation, a subsidiary of the Advisor, computes the net asset value for the Fund and maintains the accounting records of the Fund. Scudder Investments Service Company, an affiliate of the Advisor, is the transfer, shareholder service and dividend-paying agent for Class A, B, and C shares of the Fund. Scudder Service Corporation, also a subsidiary of the Advisor, is the transfer, shareholder service and dividend-paying agent for Class AARP and S shares of the Fund. Scudder Trust Company, also an affiliate of the Advisor, provides subaccounting and recordkeeping services for shareholders in certain retirement and employee benefit plans. In addition, other service providers not affiliated with the Advisor provide certain services (i.e., custody, legal and audit) to the Fund under the Administrative Agreement. The Advisor pays the service providers for the provision of their services to the Fund and pays other Fund expenses, including insurance, registration, printing, postage and other costs. Certain expenses of the Fund will not be borne by the Advisor under the Administrative Agreement, such as taxes, brokerage, interest and extraordinary expenses, and the fees and expenses of the Independent Directors (including the fees and expenses of their independent counsel). For the year ended October 31, 2002, the Administrative Fee was as follows:

Distribution Service Agreement. Under the Distribution Service Agreement, in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, Scudder Distributors, Inc. ("SDI"), a subsidiary of the Advisor, receives a fee ("Distribution Fee") of 0.75% of average daily net assets of Class B and C shares. Pursuant to the agreement, SDI enters into related selling group agreements with various firms at various rates for sales of Class B and C shares. For the year ended October 31, 2002, the Distribution Fee was as follows:

Underwriting Agreement and Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. SDI is the principal underwriter for Class A, B and C shares. Underwriting commissions paid in connection with the distribution of Class A shares for the year ended October 31, 2002, aggregated $3,026.

In addition, SDI receives any contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") from Class B share redemptions occurring within six years of purchase and Class C share redemptions occurring within one year of purchase. There is no such charge upon redemption of any share appreciation or reinvested dividends. The CDSC is based on declining rates ranging from 4% to 1% for Class B and 1% for Class C, of the value of the shares redeemed. For the year ended October 31, 2002, the CDSC for Class B and C shares aggregated $807 and $12, respectively. A deferred sales charge of up to 1% is assessed on certain redemptions of Class A shares. For the year ended October 31, 2002, SDI received $1.

Directors' Fees and Expenses. The Fund pays each Director not affiliated with the Advisor retainer fees plus specified amounts for attended board and committee meetings.

Scudder Cash Management QP Trust. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund may invest in the Scudder Cash Management QP Trust (the "QP Trust"), formerly Zurich Scudder Cash Management QP Trust, and other affiliated funds managed by the Advisor. The QP Trust seeks to provide as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and the maintenance of liquidity. The QP Trust does not pay the Advisor a management fee for the affiliated funds' investments in the QP Trust. Distributions from the QP Trust to the Fund for the year ended October 31, 2002, totaled $44,188 and are reflected as interest income on the Statement of Operations.

Other Related Parties. AARP through its affiliates monitors and approves the AARP Investment Program from the Advisor. The Advisor has agreed to pay a fee to AARP and/or its affiliates in return for the use of the AARP trademark and services relating to investments by AARP members in Class AARP shares of the Fund. This fee is calculated on a daily basis as a percentage of the combined net assets of the AARP classes of all funds managed by the Advisor. The fee rates, which decrease as the aggregate net assets of the AARP classes become larger, are as follows: 0.07% for the first $6,000,000,000 of net assets, 0.06% for the next $10,000,000,000 of such net assets and 0.05% of such net assets thereafter. These amounts are used for the general purpose of AARP and its members.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights included herein, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Scudder Greater Europe Growth Fund (the "Fund") at October 31, 2002, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights of the classes presented for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights presented (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

Scudder open-end funds are offered by prospectus only. For more complete information on any fund or variable annuity registered in your state, including information about a fund's objectives, strategies, risks, advisory fees, distribution charges, and other expenses, please order a free prospectus. Read the prospectus before investing in any fund to ensure the fund is appropriate for your goals and risk tolerance. There is no assurance that the objective of any fund will be achieved, and fund returns and net asset values fluctuate. Shares are redeemable at current net asset value, which may be more or less than their original cost.
