  • 1“Other Expenses” are to reflect expenses paid at the Fund level for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009; as a result of the restatement, the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses shown differ from the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets included in the “Financial Highlights” section of the full prospectus.
  • 2The Fund’s adviser has contractually agreed through February 28, 2011 (i) to reduce its management fee compensation by 0.32% and (ii) if necessary, in order to limit the expenses, to pay or reimburse the Fund to the extent that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (other than Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, other indirect acquired fund expenses, interest, taxes, and extraordinary expenses) for the Fund’s A Shares exceed 1.50% of A Shares’ average daily net assets, for the Fund’s Investor Shares exceed 1.25% of Investor Shares’ average daily net assets, for the Fund’s Advisor Shares exceed 1.50% of Advisor Shares’ average daily net assets and for the Fund’s R Shares exceed 1.75% of R Shares’ average daily net assets. The fee waiver and/or expense limitation may only be terminated during their term by the Board of Trustees.
  • 3“Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses” shown above include expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund (e.g., indirect Other Expenses and/or Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses), and thus may be higher than the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets included in the “Financial Highlights” section of the full prospectus. If only the operating expenses of the Fund were included in Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses, and not the indirect expenses incurred by the Fund, the Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses would be 1.50% for A Shares, 1.25% for Investor Shares, 1.50% for Advisor Shares and 1.75% for R Shares.

Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance data does not reflect a 2.00% redemption fee on shares redeemed two months or less from their date of purchase. If these fees were reflected, one-month performance for these funds would be lower than that shown.

All investments, domestic and foreign, involve risks including the risk of possible loss of principal. The market value of a fund's portfolio may decline as a result of a number of factors, including adverse economic and market conditions, prospects of stocks in the portfolio, changing interest rates, credit risk, inflation/deflation risk, currency risk, mortgage and asset-backed securities risk, U.S. Government securities risk, foreign investment risk, derivatives risk and real or perceived adverse competitive industry conditions. Investing overseas involves special risks including among others, risks related to political or economic instability, foreign currency (such as exchange, valuation, and fluctuation) risk, market entry or exit restrictions, illiquidity and taxation. Emerging markets pose greater risks than investments in developed markets. Investments in small- and medium-capitalization companies may involve a higher degree of risk and volatility than investments in larger, more established companies.

Please see the prospectus for a full description of the risks associated with the fund.
