Market and Selection Risk Sample Clauses

Market and Selection Risk. Underlying Funds investing in fixed income securities are subject to both market risk and selection risk as described above. • Credit Risk — Credit risk is the risk that an issuer will be unable to pay interest or repay principal when due. The degree of credit risk depends on both the financial condition of the issuer and the terms of the obligation. • Interest Rate Risk — Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds generally increase when interest rates decline and decrease when interest rates increase. Prices of longer-term obligations generally change more in response to interest rate changes than prices of shorter-term obligations. Generally, a rise in interest rates will cause the market value of a fixed rate obligation to fall, while a decline in interest rates will cause the market value of a fixed rate obligation to rise. Debt securities purchased at a premium or discount from their principal amount may respond differently to changes in interest rates. • Redemption and Prepayment Risk — A bond’s issuer may call a bond for redemption before it matures. If this happens to a bond the Underlying Fund holds, the Underlying Fund may lose income and may have to invest the proceeds in bonds with lower yields. This risk, which is known as “prepayment risk,” may particularly affect asset-backed securities. In a period of declining interest rates, borrowers may pay what they owe on the underlying assets more quickly than anticipated. • Extension Risk — Extension risk is the risk that, when interest rates rise, certain obligations will be paid off more slowly than anticipated and the value of these securities will fall.

Debt securities purchased at a premium or discount from their principal amount may respond differently to changes in interest rates. Recently, interest rates have been historically low. However, the historically low interest rate environment increases the risks associated with rising interest rates. To the extent that a Portfolio indirectly invests in fixed income securities, the Portfolio may face a heightened level of interest rate risk, especially since the Federal Reserve Board has begun to raise interest rates.

Market and Selection Risk. Market risk is the risk that the financial markets will go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably. Selection risk is the risk that the investments an Underlying Fund selects will underperform the market or other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. The investment advisors of the Underlying Funds may emphasize a particular investment style (such as growth or value style investing). The success of these styles varies at different times and the style of a particular advisor may lead to investments that decline in value or do not achieve anticipated results.

Verizon will, as an initial matter, provide the same number of trunks to terminate Reciprocal Compensation Traffic to CSTC as CSTC provides to terminate Reciprocal Compensation Traffic to Verizon. At Verizon’s discretion, when CSTC expressly identifies particular situations that are expected to produce traffic that is substantially skewed in either the inbound or outbound direction, Verizon will provide the number of trunks CSTC suggests; provided, however, that in all cases Verizon’s provision of the forecasted number of trunks to CSTC is conditioned on the following: that such forecast is based on reasonable engineering criteria, there are no capacity constraints, and CSTC’s previous forecasts have proven to be reliable and accurate.
