In the Energy of Tomorrow

At home or in the car, at work and at play, in a variety of forms, energy has a continuous and direct effect on our daily lives. How can you put energy to work in your portfolio?

Investigate the Waddell & Reed Advisors Energy Fund.

An invaluable resource that puts the power in our daily lives, energy has a profound effect on most every action we take. Yet while it would seem to be easily accessible, from the flip of a light switch to the convenience of fueling the family car, we don't have an endless supply at our disposal. Quite simply, energy is not an unlimited resource. It will require resourcefulness to find solutions to our future capacity challenges--solutions that may offer strong investment opportunities.

Such opportunities, of course, can be important to our future investment and financial planning strategies. To that end, we are pleased to introduce a new way to capture this potential: The Waddell & Reed Advisors Energy Fund.

A sound investment strategy is generally built upon diversification and the potential for long-term growth. These fundamentals factored directly into the development of the Waddell & Reed Advisors Energy Fund, looking beyond short-term trends and offering the growth opportunities inherent in a sector fund. Focused on traditional companies that are producing energy solutions for today, along with those that are devising alternative sources for tomorrow, the Fund may provide added power to a well-balanced portfolio.

Why not take a closer look at how you can put the power of energy to work for you? Contact your Waddell & Reed Financial Advisor to discuss how we can help you tap into a new opportunity that has the potential to strengthen your portfolio.

Consider all factors

Investing in companies involved in one specified sector may be more risky and volatile than an investment with greater diversification.

Investing in the energy sector can be riskier that other types of investment activities because of a range of factors, including price fluctuation caused by real and perceived inflationary trends and political developments, and the cost assumed by energy companies in complying with environmental safety regulations. Although individual security selection drives the performance of the Fund, short-term fluctuations in commodity prices may influence returns and increase price fluctuations in the Fund's shares. The companies in which the Fund invests may be adversely affected by foreign government, federal or state regulations on energy production, distribution and sale.
