 Fund Performance

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. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained at www.forwardfunds.com. 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. The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks traded on the NYSE, AMEX and OTC exchanges, and is comprised of industrial, financial, transportation and utility companies.
The underlying investments of the Fund (such as ETFs, futures and options on securities, securities indexes and shares of ETFs) involve heightened risks related to liquidity, increased volatility and unfavorable fluctuations in currency values. The underlying international and real estate investments will also be subject to economic or political instability in the U.S. and other countries, credit risk and interest rate fluctuations. Investors will indirectly bear the expenses of the Fund’s underlying investments. The Fund’s use of short selling involves additional risks and transaction costs, and creates leverage, which can increase the volatility of the Fund.
The Forward Tactical Growth Fund was launched on September 14, 2009, and has a limited operating history. |
