Trilogy Emerging Markets Equity Fund

Trilogy Emerging Markets Equity Fund

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Trilogy Emerging Markets Equity Fund's (the "Fund" or "Emerging Markets Equity Fund") investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND

The tables below describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

Shareholder Fees
(fees paid directly from your investment)

Shareholder Fees Trilogy Emerging Markets Equity Fund	Investor Class	Service Class	Institutional Class
Redemption/Exchange Fee (as a percentage of the amount redeemed, if applicable, within 60 days of purchase)	2.00%	2.00%	2.00%

Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses Trilogy Emerging Markets Equity Fund		Investor Class	Service Class	Institutional Class
Management Fee		0.70%	0.70%	0.70%
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees		0.25%	none	none
Other Expenses		0.35%	0.55%	0.35%
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses		0.01%	0.01%	0.01%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses	[1]	1.31%	1.26%	1.06%
Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursements	[2]	none	none	none
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursements	[1]	1.31%	1.26%	1.06%

EXPENSE EXAMPLE

This Example will help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund to the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example makes certain assumptions. It assumes that you invest $10,000 as an initial investment in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. It also assumes that your investment has a 5% total return each year and the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Example reflects the impact of the Fund's contractual expense limitation through March 1, 2014. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on the above assumptions, your costs would be:

Expense Example Trilogy Emerging Markets Equity Fund (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Investor Class	133	415	718	1,579
Service Class	128	400	692	1,523
Institutional Class	108	337	585	1,294

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

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 32% of the average value of its portfolio.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities (generally common and preferred stocks) of issuers located in emerging market countries. The Fund may allocate investments across different emerging markets countries. The Subadvisor considers emerging market countries to be any country other than Canada, Luxembourg, the United States and the countries comprising the MSCI EAFE Index. The Fund considers an issuer to be located in an emerging market country if the issuer maintains its principal place of business in an emerging market country, its securities are traded principally in an emerging market country, or it derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed in an emerging market country or it has at least 50% of its assets in an emerging market country. The Fund's portfolio normally consists of between 60 to 120 securities. To gain exposure to foreign issuers, the Fund also may invest in American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs") and other depositary receipts of non-U.S. listed companies.

The Subadvisor uses a bottom-up investment process driven by fundamental research conducted by its investment analysts. Under normal market conditions, the Subadvisor seeks to maintain a growth oriented focus and invest the Fund's assets pursuant to the following core principles:

—  Earnings growth drives equity returns over the long term.

—  Early-stage and traditional growth companies provide the greatest opportunity.

—  Risk management with respect to the Fund's portfolio should focus on avoiding losing money, rather than minimizing tracking error against the benchmark.

—  A disciplined investment process requires consistently identifying opportunities, evaluating potential returns and responding with timely buy/sell decisions.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

There is the risk that you may lose money on your investment. All investments carry a certain amount of risk and the Fund cannot guarantee that it will achieve its investment objective. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit or obligation of any bank, is not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank, and is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency. Below are some of the risks of investing in the Fund.

Currency Risk—fluctuations in exchange rates may affect the total loss or gain on a non-U.S. dollar investment when converted back to U.S. dollars.

Derivatives Risk—the complexity and rapidly changing structure of derivatives markets may increase the possibility of market losses.

Emerging Markets Risk—investments in emerging markets can be subject to the general risks of foreign investments, as well as additional risks which can result in greater price volatility.

Foreign Securities Risk—securities or other investments of foreign issuers involve additional risks (such as risks arising from less frequent trading, changes in political or social conditions, and less publicly available information about non-U.S. issuers) that differ from those associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers and may result in greater price volatility.

Growth Stock Risk—growth stocks may be more sensitive to market movements because their prices tend to reflect future investor expectations rather than just current profits.

Large-Capitalization Stock Risk—the stocks of large-capitalization companies are generally more mature and may not be able to reach the same levels of growth as the stocks of small- or mid-capitalization companies.

Liquidity Risk—particular investments, such as illiquid securities, may not be able to be sold at the price the Fund would like or the Fund may have to sell them at a loss.

Market Risk—market prices of securities held by the Fund may fall rapidly or unpredictably due to a variety of factors, including changing economic, political, or market conditions. Equity investments generally have greater volatility than fixed income investments.

Political Risk—changes in the political status of any country can have profound effects on the value of investments exposed to that country.

Small- and Mid-Capitalization Stock Risk—the stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies often have greater price volatility, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than the stocks of larger, more established companies.

PERFORMANCE

The following performance information illustrates the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's performance compares to that of broad-based securities market index. As always, past performance of the Fund (before and after taxes) is not an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Because the Fund's Investor Class shares have not operated for a full calendar year, performance history for this share class is not available. Investor Class shares would have similar annual returns as Service Class and Institutional Class shares because all of the classes are invested in the same portfolio of securities. However, Investor Class shares are subject to different expenses than Service Class and Institutional Class shares, and Investor Class share performance would vary to that extent. To obtain updated performance information please visit www.managersinvest.com or call 800.835.3879.

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. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are shown for Institutional Class shares only, and after-tax returns for Service Class and Investor Class shares will vary.

[1] The Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursements do not correlate to the ratios of expenses to average net assets in the Financial Highlights section of the Fund's Prospectus. The ratios reflect only the operating expenses of the Fund and do not include fees and expenses of any acquired funds.

[2] Managers Investment Group LLC (the "Investment Manager") has contractually agreed, through at least March 1, 2014, to waive management fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in order to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest, shareholder servicing fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary items) to 1.05% of the Fund's average daily net assets, subject to later reimbursement by the Fund in certain circumstances. In general, for a period of up to 36 months from the time of any waiver, reimbursement, or payment pursuant to the Fund's contractual expense limitation, the Investment Manager may recover from the Fund fees waived and expenses paid to the extent that such repayment would not cause the Fund's Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursements to exceed the contractual expense limitation amount. Under such arrangement, if the maximum amount of shareholder servicing fees and distribution and service (12b-1) fees were charged to the classes under the current applicable plans, the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding the other items noted in the parenthetical above) of the Investor Class, Service Class, and Institutional Class would be 1.55%, 1.30% and 1.05% respectively, of the average daily net assets of such classes. The contractual expense limitation may only be terminated upon termination of the Fund's investment advisory agreement with the Investment Manager or by mutual agreement between the Investment Manager and the Fund's Board of Trustees.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

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 78% of the average value of its portfolio.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities (generally common and preferred stocks). Additionally, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowing for investment purposes, in investments of issuers located outside the United States, and investments exposed to such issuers, and the Fund will invest in or have investments exposed to a minimum of three countries, including the United States. The Fund considers an issuer to be located outside the United States if the issuer maintains its principal place of business outside the United States, its securities are traded principally outside the United States, or it derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed outside the United States or it has at least 50% of its assets outside the United States.

The Fund may allocate investments across all market capitalizations, but investments generally will be in large- and medium- sized companies. Trilogy Global Advisors, L.P, (“Trilogy” or the “Subadvisor”) may invest up to 20% of the Fund’s net assets in securities of issuers located in emerging markets countries. The Subadvisor considers emerging market countries to be any country other than Canada, Luxembourg, the United States and the countries comprising the MSCI EAFE Index. The Fund considers an issuer to be located in an emerging market country if the issuer maintains its principal place of business in an emerging market country, its securities are traded in an emerging market country, or it derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed in an emerging market country or it has at least 50% of its assets in an emerging market country. The Fund’s portfolio normally consists of between 80 to 120 securities.

[3] Managers Investment Group LLC (the "Investment Manager") has contractually agreed, through at least March 1, 2014, to waive management fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in order to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest (including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody overdrafts), shareholder servicing fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) to 1.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets, subject to later reimbursement by the Fund in certain circumstances. In general, for a period of up to 36 months from the time of any waiver, reimbursement, or payment pursuant to the Fund's contractual expense limitation, the Investment Manager may recover from the Fund fees waived and expenses paid to the extent that such repayment would not cause the Fund's Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursements to exceed the contractual expense limitation amount. Under such arrangement, if the maximum amount of shareholder servicing fees and distribution and service (12b-1) fees were charged to the classes under the current applicable plans, the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding the other items noted in the parenthetical above) of the Investor Class, Service Class, and Institutional Class would be 1.50%, 1.25% and 1.05%, respectively, of the average daily net assets of such classes. The contractual expense limitation may only be terminated upon termination of the Fund's investment advisory agreement with the Investment Manager or by mutual agreement between the Investment Manager and the Fund's Board of Trustees.

Trilogy International Small Cap Fund

Trilogy International Small Cap Fund

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Trilogy International Small Cap Fund's (the "Fund" or "International Small Cap Fund") investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND

The tables below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

Shareholder Fees
(fees paid directly from your investment)

Shareholder Fees Trilogy International Small Cap Fund	Investor Class	Service Class	Institutional Class
Redemption/Exchange Fee (as a percentage of the amount redeemed, if applicable, within 60 days of purchase)	2.00%	2.00%	2.00%

Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses Trilogy International Small Cap Fund		Investor Class	Service Class	Institutional Class
Management Fee		1.00%	1.00%	1.00%
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees		0.25%	none	none
Other Expenses		0.82%	1.01%	0.82%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses	[1]	2.07%	2.01%	1.82%
Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursements	[2]	(0.72%)	(0.72%)	(0.72%)
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursements	[1]	1.35%	1.29%	1.10%

EXPENSE EXAMPLE

This Example will help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund to the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example makes certain assumptions. It assumes that you invest $10,000 as an initial investment in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. It also assumes that your investment has a 5% total return each year and the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Example reflects the impact of the Fund's contractual expense limitation through March 1, 2014. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on the above assumptions, your costs would be:

Expense Example Trilogy International Small Cap Fund (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Investor Class	137	579	1,047	2,343
Service Class	131	561	1,016	2,280
Institutional Class	112	502	918	2,078

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

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 56% of the average value of its portfolio.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities (generally common and preferred stocks) of small market capitalization companies ("small cap companies"). Additionally, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowing for investment purposes, in investments of issuers located outside the United States, and investments exposed to such issuers, and the Fund will invest in or have investments exposed to a minimum of three countries, including the United States. The Fund considers an issuer to be located outside the United States if the issuer maintains its principal place of business outside the United States, its securities are traded principally outside the United States, or it derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed outside the United States or it has at least 50% of its assets outside the United States.

The Fund primarily invests in non-U.S. small cap companies, allocating investments across different countries and regions. The Subadvisor considers non-U.S. small cap companies to be those with market capitalizations in the range of the MSCI All Country World ex-U.S. Small Cap Index (between $3.53 million and $4.39 billion as of the latest reconstitution of the Index on December 1, 2012). The Fund may invest in securities of issuers located in emerging markets countries. The Fund's Subadvisor considers emerging market countries to be any country other than Canada, Luxembourg, the United States and the countries comprising the MSCI EAFE Index. The Fund's portfolio normally consists of between 40 to 100 securities. To gain exposure to foreign issuers, the Fund also may invest in American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), Global Depoisitary Receipts ("GDRs") and other depositary receipts of non-U.S. listed companies.

The Subadvisor uses a bottom-up investment process driven by fundamental research conducted by its investment analysts. Under normal market conditions, the Subadvisor seeks to maintain a growth oriented focus and invest the Fund's assets pursuant to the following core principles:

—  Earnings growth drives equity returns over the long term.

—  Early-stage and traditional growth companies provide the greatest opportunity.

—  Risk management with respect to the Fund's portfolio should focus on avoiding losing money, rather than minimizing tracking error against the benchmark.

—  A disciplined investment process requires consistently identifying opportunities, evaluating potential returns and responding with timely buy/sell decisions.

PRINCIPAL RISKS

There is the risk that you may lose money on your investment. All investments carry a certain amount of risk and the Fund cannot guarantee that it will achieve its investment objective. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit or obligation of any bank, is not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank, and is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") or any other government agency. Below are some of the risks of investing in the Fund.

Currency Risk—fluctuations in exchange rates may affect the total loss or gain on a non-U.S. dollar investment when converted back to U.S. dollars.

Derivatives Risk—the complexity and rapidly changing structure of derivatives markets may increase the possibility of market losses.

Emerging Markets Risk—investments in emerging markets can be subject to the general risks of foreign investments, as well as additional risks which can result in greater price volatility.

Foreign Securities Risk—securities or other investments of foreign issuers involve additional risks (such as risks arising from less frequent trading, changes in political or social conditions, and less publicly available information about non-U.S. issuers) that differ from those associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers and may result in greater price volatility.

Growth Stock Risk—growth stocks may be more sensitive to market movements because their prices tend to reflect future investor expectations rather than just current profits.

Liquidity Risk—particular investments, such as illiquid securities, may not be able to be sold at the price the Fund would like or the Fund may have to sell them at a loss.

Market Risk—market prices of securities held by the Fund may fall rapidly or unpredictably due to a variety of factors, including changing economic, political, or market conditions. Equity investments generally have greater volatility than fixed income investments.

Political Risk—changes in the political status of any country can have profound effects on the value of investments exposed to that country.

Small-Capitalization Stock Risk—the stocks of small-capitalization companies often have greater price volatility, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than the stocks of larger, more established companies.

PERFORMANCE

The following performance information illustrates the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's performance compares to that of broad based securities market index. As always, past performance of the Fund (before and after taxes) is not an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

[1] The Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursements do not correlate to the ratios of expenses to average net assets in the Financial Highlights section of the Fund's Prospectus. The ratios reflect only the operating expenses of the Fund and do not include fees and expenses of any acquired funds.

[2] Managers Investment Group LLC (the "Investment Manager") has contractually agreed, through at least March 1, 2014, to waive management fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in order to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest, shareholder servicing fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary items) to 1.05% of the Fund's average daily net assets, subject to later reimbursement by the Fund in certain circumstances. In general, for a period of up to 36 months from the time of any waiver, reimbursement, or payment pursuant to the Fund's contractual expense limitation, the Investment Manager may recover from the Fund fees waived and expenses paid to the extent that such repayment would not cause the Fund's Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursements to exceed the contractual expense limitation amount. Under such arrangement, if the maximum amount of shareholder servicing fees and distribution and service (12b-1) fees were charged to the classes under the current applicable plans, the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding the other items noted in the parenthetical above) of the Investor Class, Service Class, and Institutional Class would be 1.55%, 1.30% and 1.05% respectively, of the average daily net assets of such classes. The contractual expense limitation may only be terminated upon termination of the Fund's investment advisory agreement with the Investment Manager or by mutual agreement between the Investment Manager and the Fund's Board of Trustees.

Portfolio Turnover [Text Block]	rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock	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 56% of the average value of its portfolio.

Expense Example Narrative [Text Block]	rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock	This Example will help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund to the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example makes certain assumptions. It assumes that you invest $10,000 as an initial investment in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. It also assumes that your investment has a 5% total return each year and the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Example reflects the impact of the Fund's contractual expense limitation through March 1, 2014. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on the above assumptions, your costs would be:
Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities (generally common and preferred stocks) of small market capitalization companies ("small cap companies"). Additionally, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowing for investment purposes, in investments of issuers located outside the United States, and investments exposed to such issuers, and the Fund will invest in or have investments exposed to a minimum of three countries, including the United States. The Fund considers an issuer to be located outside the United States if the issuer maintains its principal place of business outside the United States, its securities are traded principally outside the United States, or it derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed outside the United States or it has at least 50% of its assets outside the United States. The Fund primarily invests in non-U.S. small cap companies, allocating investments across different countries and regions. The Subadvisor considers non-U.S. small cap companies to be those with market capitalizations in the range of the MSCI All Country World ex-U.S. Small Cap Index (between $3.53 million and $4.39 billion as of the latest reconstitution of the Index on December 1, 2012). The Fund may invest in securities of issuers located in emerging markets countries. The Fund's Subadvisor considers emerging market countries to be any country other than Canada, Luxembourg, the United States and the countries comprising the MSCI EAFE Index. The Fund's portfolio normally consists of between 40 to 100 securities. To gain exposure to foreign issuers, the Fund also may invest in American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), Global Depoisitary Receipts ("GDRs") and other depositary receipts of non-U.S. listed companies. The Subadvisor uses a bottom-up investment process driven by fundamental research conducted by its investment analysts. Under normal market conditions, the Subadvisor seeks to maintain a growth oriented focus and invest the Fund's assets pursuant to the following core principles: —  Earnings growth drives equity returns over the long term. —  Early-stage and traditional growth companies provide the greatest opportunity. —  Risk management with respect to the Fund's portfolio should focus on avoiding losing money, rather than minimizing tracking error against the benchmark. —  A disciplined investment process requires consistently identifying opportunities, evaluating potential returns and responding with timely buy/sell decisions.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	PRINCIPAL RISKS
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	There is the risk that you may lose money on your investment. All investments carry a certain amount of risk and the Fund cannot guarantee that it will achieve its investment objective. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit or obligation of any bank, is not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank, and is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") or any other government agency. Below are some of the risks of investing in the Fund. Currency Risk—fluctuations in exchange rates may affect the total loss or gain on a non-U.S. dollar investment when converted back to U.S. dollars. Derivatives Risk—the complexity and rapidly changing structure of derivatives markets may increase the possibility of market losses. Emerging Markets Risk—investments in emerging markets can be subject to the general risks of foreign investments, as well as additional risks which can result in greater price volatility. Foreign Securities Risk—securities or other investments of foreign issuers involve additional risks (such as risks arising from less frequent trading, changes in political or social conditions, and less publicly available information about non-U.S. issuers) that differ from those associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers and may result in greater price volatility. Growth Stock Risk—growth stocks may be more sensitive to market movements because their prices tend to reflect future investor expectations rather than just current profits. Liquidity Risk—particular investments, such as illiquid securities, may not be able to be sold at the price the Fund would like or the Fund may have to sell them at a loss. Market Risk—market prices of securities held by the Fund may fall rapidly or unpredictably due to a variety of factors, including changing economic, political, or market conditions. Equity investments generally have greater volatility than fixed income investments. Political Risk—changes in the political status of any country can have profound effects on the value of investments exposed to that country. Small-Capitalization Stock Risk—the stocks of small-capitalization companies often have greater price volatility, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than the stocks of larger, more established companies.
