The fund may invest significantly in issuers within a particular sector, which may be negatively affected by market, economic or other conditions, making the fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in the sector.

In general, bond prices rise when interest rates fall and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer term securities.
