Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of this Fund carefully before investing. This and other information is contained in the Fund´s prospectus and summary prospectus, if available, which may be obtained by contacting your financial advisor, or by calling 888-877-4626. Click here for the Fund´s prospectus or summary prospectus. Please read them carefully before you invest or send money.

The daily section presents performance dating from the inception of the actual share class only.

 

The performance number from the year of the Fund's inception is the cumulative return over a partial year.

 

During the ranking periods, the fund benefited from a fee waiver, which had a material effect on total return.

 

**This is the inception date of the oldest share class, which for this Fund is the Institutional share class. The returns presented are for Institutional shares, and measure performance from the inception of the oldest share class to the present. Total return performance assumes that all dividend and capital gains distributions were reinvested on the payable date and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Institutional shares generally have a $5 million minimum investment; under special circumstances they may be available. Please see the prospectus for more information.

 

The Fund will normally invest substantially all of its assets in Russell 2000 Index derivatives, backed by a diversified portfolio of fixed income instruments. Use of the derivative instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Portfolios investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in these instruments. Though the Fund does not normally invest directly in Russell 2000 Index securities, when Russell 2000 Index derivatives appear to be overvalued relative to the Russell 2000 Index, the Fund may invest all of its assets in a basket of Russell 2000 Index stocks.

 

The Fund may invest in exchange traded funds based on the Russell 2000 Index, such as Standard & Poor's Depositary Receipts. The Fund may also invest in high yield securities, securities denominated in foreign currencies and in U.S. dollar denominated securities of foreign issuers. High-yield bonds typically have a lower credit rating than other bonds. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. Investing in non-U.S. securities entails additional risks, including political and economic risk and the risk of currency fluctuations; these risks may be enhanced in emerging markets. Investments in smaller companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies. Under certain conditions, generally in a market where the value of both Russell 2000 Index derivatives and fixed income securities are declining or in periods of heightened market volatility, the Fund may experience greater losses or lesser gains than would be the case if it invested directly in a portfolio of Russell 2000 Index stocks.

 

The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged index that consists of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index and represents approximately 10% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000. It is generally considered representative of the small-cap market. Unless otherwise noted, index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, but do not reflect fees, brokerage commissions or other expenses of investing. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

 

^The Lipper Category returns and rankings are calculated by Lipper Inc., a Reuters Company, which is a nationally recognized organization that compares the performance of mutual funds with similar investment objectives. The Category returns represent the average performance of included funds, while rankings compare an individual fund's returns to those of the other funds in its category. Both are based on total return performance, with capital gains and dividends reinvested, with annual operating expenses deducted, but without including front- or back-end sales charges. Rankings begin with the actual share class inception. Rankings are relative to a peer group and do not necessarily mean that the fund had high total returns.

 

Growth of $10,000 is calculated at NAV and assumes that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. It does not take into account sales charges or the effect of taxes. Results are not indicative of future performance.

 

^^ Average Distribution Yield. This yield is the average of the last four quarterly distribution yields. The quarterly distribution yield is calculated by annualizing the quarter's distribution and dividing by the NAV on the last business day of the period. It does not include long- or short-term capital gains distributions. The SEC Yield is a standardized annual yield based on the most recent 30-day period. It is calculated in accordance with current Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and is subject to change.
