Risk Considerations

Please keep in mind the following factors when considering this investment. Your financial professional will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

The value of your investment will fluctuate with the prices of the underlying stocks, which can be extremely volatile.

There can be no assurance that this Portfolio will meet its objective.

The Portfolio may not be appropriate for investors seeking preservation of capital or current income.

This Portfolio is concentrated in foreign stocks, which may involve special risks including higher price volatility, currency fluctuations and political developments.

For more information on risk considerations, see the prospectus for this Fund.




Distributions and Taxes

  Distribution Frequency (if any)
    Two (2) per year.
  Reinvestment Options
    By selecting the reinvestment option, you may choose to have your distributions used to purchase additional units of the fund (reinvestment). As such, your investment will increase each distribution period.
  Tax Reporting
   

When seeking capital appreciation, managing tax liability on capital gains can be important to your overall return. By holding this Fund for more than one year, individuals may be eligible for favorable federal tax rates on net long-term capital gains (currently no more than 20%).

Generally, dividends and any net capital gains will be subject to tax each year, whether or not reinvested. However, on rollovers to future Portfolios, if available, certain investors may defer recognition of gains and losses on stocks that are transferred to the new Portfolio. Please consult your tax advisor concerning state and local taxation.

Your taxable income is expected to include foreign withholding taxes. However, subject to limitations, you may be able to credit these taxes against your U.S. federal income taxes.

Defined Asset Funds® are established as Unit Investment Trusts. By definition, a trust account requires a trustee. The trustee holds the trust securities, ensuring their safekeeping until the trust is terminated. The trustee is also responsible for recordkeeping, for collecting any interest or dividend income and principal payments, and for distributing this money to investors.
