The performance quoted represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and current performance may be lower or higher than the data quoted. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions, if any. Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained at www.forwardfunds.com.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Europe 10/40 Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index designed to measure equity performance in the emerging markets of Europe and adjusted for the limitations imposed by the UCITS III (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) directive on funds incorporated in member states of the European Union. The UCITS III directive constrains the weight of any single group entity, as defined therein, at 10% of a fund’s total assets and the sum of the weights of all group entities representing more than 5% of the fund at 40% of the fund's total assets. Investors cannot invest directly in the index.
Foreign securities, especially emerging markets,
will involve additional risks including exchange rate fluctuations, social and political instability,
liquidity, greater volatility and less regulation.
