Disclosure

Investors should carefully consider the Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. For this and other information, please call 800.835.3879 or download a free prospectus. Read it carefully before investing or sending money.

The performance shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. The investment return and the 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. From time to time the advisor has waived fees or reimbursed expenses, which may have resulted in higher returns. The listed returns and yields on the Fund are net of expenses. Unlike the Fund, the index listed is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses.

Performance for periods longer than one year are annualized.

Annual net expense ratios as of 05/01/09.

The Russell 2000® Index was the Fund’s prior benchmark. Effective May 26, 2009, the Investment Manager changed the benchmark to the Russell 2000® Growth Index because it determined that the Russell 2000® Growth Index more accurately reflects the Fund’s investments.

Risks

The Fund is subject to risks associated with investments in small-capitalization companies, such as erratic earnings patterns, competitive conditions, limited earnings history, and a reliance on one or a limited number of products.
