OFST010220 – Has Embedded Derivatives

If the prospectus allows the usage of derivatives for Efficient Portfolio Management, it will not be classified as a derivative product, i.e. it has no embedded derivatives. "Yes" means that the fund might be classified as a derivative product and therefore might be classified as riskier.

Efficient Portfolio Management includes: 1) Hedging purposes 2) Cash Management 3) Providing access to restricted markets

Any usage of derivatives outside of the Efficient Portfolio Management definition above will cause the fund to be considered as a derivative product.
