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.

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

 

**This is the inception date of the oldest share class, which for this Fund is the Institutional share class. The returns presented are for Class A shares, which were first offered in 2/02. Returns measure performance from the inception of the oldest share class to the present, so some returns predate the inception of Class A. Those returns are calculated by adjusting the Institutional returns to reflect the A shares' different charges and expenses. 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.

 

This Fund may invest at least 80% of its assets in companies comparable in capitalization to those included in the MSCI World Small Cap Index and up to 30% in emerging market companies. Investments in smaller companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies. Investing in foreign securities may entail greater risk due to foreign economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. This Fund may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of its investment strategy. Use of these 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 those instruments.

 

The MSCI World Small-Cap Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure small-cap equity performance in the global developed markets. The index targets 40% of the eligible small-cap universe within each industry group, within each country. MSCI defines the small-cap universe as all listed securities with a market capitalization in the range of USD200-1,500 million. Prior to November 1, 2006, performance data for the MSCI Index was calculated gross of dividend tax withholding. Performance data presently shown for the Index is net of dividend tax withholding. This recalculation results in lower performance for the Index. 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 and Best/Worst 1-Year Period results are calculated at NAV and assume that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. They do not take into account sales charges or the effect of taxes. Results are not indicative of future performance.
