A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 106% of the average value of its portfolio. <b>Shareholder Fees </b><br/>(fees paid directly from your investment) <b>Principal Investment Strategies </b> 0.0575 0 0 0 Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies with market capitalizations at the time of investment comparable to companies in the Russell 1000<sup style="POSITION: relative; BOTTOM: 0.8ex; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline">®</sup> Growth Index. The Fund will not be forced to sell a security because a company has exceeded or fallen below the current market capitalization range.<br/><br/>The sub-adviser’s investment process consists of a combination of quantitative screens and qualitative methods which seek to create portfolios that deliver consistent returns. The Fund uses four independent quantitative models to rank companies within the Russell 1000<sup style="POSITION: relative; BOTTOM: 0.8ex; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline">®</sup> Growth Index according to the Fund’s sub-adviser’s assessment of their ability to generate excess share price appreciation. The Fund’s sub-adviser then optimizes a portfolio of these companies based upon pre-determined risk parameters relative to the Russell 1000<sup style="POSITION: relative; BOTTOM: 0.8ex; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline">®</sup> Growth Index. A team of fundamental analysts analyzes company specific and macro issues that quantitative systems are not designed to detect and the portfolio manager adjusts the holdings based on the input from the analysts and reoptimizes the portfolio. This blended process seeks to deliver active returns above that of the Russell 1000<sup style="POSITION: relative; BOTTOM: 0.8ex; VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline">®</sup> Growth Index using a bottom-up stock selection process that evaluates individual companies through multiple quantitative and qualitative techniques. <b>Principal Risks </b> 0 0.01 0 0 The value of your investment in this Fund will change daily, which means you could lose money. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include:<br/><br/><b>Equity Security Risk</b>—Equity securities may decline significantly in price over short or extended periods of time, and such declines may occur in the equity market as a whole, or they may occur in only a particular country, company, industry, or sector of the market.<br/><br/><b>Investment Focus Risk</b>—Different types of stocks tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions. The Fund emphasizes a growth style of investing and therefore seeks companies experiencing high rates of current growth; such companies may be more volatile than other types of investments. Furthermore, because the Fund focuses its investments in large-cap stocks, the Fund may not benefit from gains in smaller cap sectors of the market. 0 0 0 0 <b>Fund Performance </b> 0 0 0 0 15 15 0 15 The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the potential risks of investing in the Fund.

Class R3 shares commenced operations on September 29, 2009. The returns for Class R3 shares shown below reflect Class I performance prior to September 29, 2009 adjusted for the difference in fees between the classes. All after-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. After-tax returns are shown for Class A shares only; after-tax returns for other share classes will vary. Your own actual after-tax returns will depend on your specific tax situation and may differ from what is shown here. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold Fund shares in tax-deferred accounts such as IRAs or employer-sponsored retirement plans.<br/><br/>Both the bar chart and the table assume that all distributions have been reinvested.

These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 22% of the average value of its portfolio. <b>Principal Investment Strategies </b> Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in non-U.S. equity securities. The Fund primarily invests in developed countries, but it may invest up to 15% of its net assets in equity securities of companies located in emerging market countries.<br/><br/>The sub-adviser’s investment process consists of a combination of quantitative screens and qualitative methods which seek to create portfolios that deliver consistent returns. The Fund uses four independent quantitative models to score companies within the Fund’s investable universe according to the Fund’s sub-adviser’s assessment of their ability to generate excess share price appreciation. The Fund’s sub-adviser then optimizes a portfolio of these companies based upon pre-determined risk parameters relative to the MSCI EAFE Index. Fundamental analysts analyze company specific and macro issues that quantitative systems may not detect and the portfolio manager adjusts the holdings based on the input from the analysts and reoptimizes the portfolio.

These additional risks may be heightened for securities of issuers located in, or with significant operations in, emerging market countries. Also, changes in currency exchange rates may affect the Fund’s net asset value, the value of dividends and interest earned, and gains and losses realized on the sale of securities.<br/><br/><b>Smaller Company Risk</b>—Small-cap stocks involve substantial risk. Prices of small-cap stocks may be subject to more abrupt or erratic movements, and to wider fluctuations, than stock prices of larger, more established companies or the market averages in general. It may be difficult to sell small-cap stocks at the desired time and price. While mid-cap stocks may be slightly less volatile than small-cap stocks, they still involve similar risks. <b>Fund Performance </b> The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the potential risks of investing in the Fund.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of a period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are at the applicable expense limitation. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be: <b>Portfolio Turnover </b> 0 0 0 0 The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 138% of the average value of its portfolio. <b>Principal Investment Strategies </b> Other Expenses have been restated to reflect current contractual fees. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies with market capitalizations at the time of investment comparable to companies in the Russell Midcap<sup>®</sup> Index. The Fund will not be forced to sell a security because a company has exceeded or fallen below the current market capitalization range. <br/><br/>The sub-adviser’s investment process consists of a combination of quantitative screens and qualitative methods which seek to create portfolios that deliver consistent returns. The Fund uses four independent quantitative models to rank companies within the Russell Midcap<sup >®</sup> Index according to the Fund’s sub-adviser’s assessment of their ability to generate excess share price appreciation. The Fund’s sub-adviser then optimizes a portfolio of these companies based upon pre-determined risk parameters relative to the Russell Midcap<sup >®</sup> Index. A team of fundamental analysts analyzes company specific and macro issues that quantitative systems are not designed to detect and the portfolio manager adjusts the holdings based on the input from the analysts and reoptimizes the portfolio. This blended process seeks to deliver active returns above that of the Russell Midcap<sup>®</sup> Index using a bottom-up stock selection process that evaluates individual companies through multiple quantitative and qualitative techniques. <b>Principal Risks </b> The value of your investment in this Fund will change daily, which means you could lose money. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The principal risks of investing in the Fund include:<br/><br/> <b>Equity Security Risk</b>—Equity securities may decline significantly in price over short or extended periods of time, and such declines may occur in the equity market as a whole, or they may occur in only a particular country, company, industry, or sector of the market.<br/><br/><b>Mid-Cap Stock Risk</b>—Stocks of mid-cap companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than those of larger, more established companies or the market averages in general. <b>Fund Performance </b> The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the potential risks of investing in the Fund.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of companies with varying market capitalizations.<br/><br/>The Fund seeks to produce long-term returns superior to the market with reduced absolute risk. By selecting stocks with low correlation and utilizing risk controls, Symphony believes it can reduce absolute risk while preserving the Fund’s potential to generate returns in excess of the market over the long term.<br/><br/>The Fund is constructed from the sub-adviser’s best U.S. equity ideas in a way that seeks to provide the highest projected return per unit of absolute risk, as opposed to risk relative to a benchmark. This objective is pursued by selecting attractive, low correlated securities that when combined seek to reduce risk in the portfolio. The construction process seeks to reduce absolute risk by combining stocks with certain characteristics such as low correlation while utilizing risk controls such as industry weight. <b>Principal Risks </b> Other Expenses have been restated to reflect current contractual fees.

However, historical return correlations may not persist into the future, and so the potential risk-reducing effect of combining low correlated securities may not materialize. Furthermore, in troubled markets, correlations of returns of different kinds of securities, even those that had been uncorrelated in normal markets, may become highly correlated, which means that the potential risk-reducing effect of combining low correlated securities may be absent at precisely the time when such risk reduction is most needed.<br/><br/><b>Smaller Company Risk</b>—Small-cap stocks involve substantial risk. Prices of small-cap stocks may be subject to more abrupt or erratic movements, and to wider fluctuations, than stock prices of larger, more established companies or the market averages in general. It may be difficult to sell small-cap stocks at the desired time and price.
