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 Fund's most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 110% of the average value of its portfolio.

The Fund may invest in securities of issuers of any market capitalization size. In deciding which securities to buy, the Fund's portfolio managers use a blend of investment styles. That is, they invest in equity and equity-related securities from traditionally growth and value areas, as well as stocks exhibiting characteristics of both. The Fund's portfolio managers use quantitative analytics to complement their fundamental investment process, and to provide additional investment insights on which to make investment decisions from time to time. In addition to common stock, the equity-related securities that the Fund may invest in include, but are not limited to, preferred stock and convertible securities. The term "investable assets" refers to the Fund's net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund's investable assets will be less than its total assets to the extent that it has borrowed money for non-investment purposes, such as to meet anticipated redemptions. While we make every effort to achieve our objective, we can't guarantee success. All investments have risks to some degree. Please remember that an investment in the Fund is not guaranteed to achieve its investment objective; is not a deposit with a bank; is not insured, endorsed or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency; and is subject to investment risks, including possible loss of your original investment. Recent Market Events. The equity and debt capital markets in the United States and internationally have experienced unprecedented volatility. The financial crisis has caused a significant decline in the value and liquidity of many securities. This environment could make identifying investment risks and opportunities especially difficult for the investment subadviser. These market conditions may continue or get worse. In response to the crisis, the U.S. and other governments and the Federal Reserve and certain foreign central banks have taken steps to support financial markets. The withdrawal of this support could negatively affect the value and liquidity of certain securities. In addition, legislation recently enacted in the United States calls for changes in many aspects of financial regulation. The impact of the legislation on the markets, and the practical implications for market participants, may not be known for some time. Risk of Increase in Expenses. Your actual cost of investing in the Fund may be higher than the expenses shown in the expense table for a variety of reasons. For example, expense ratios may be higher than those shown if average net assets decrease. Net assets are more likely to decrease and Fund expense ratios are more likely to increase when markets are volatile. Equity and Equity-Related Securities Risks. There is the risk that the value of a particular security could go down and you could lose money. In addition to an individual security losing value, the value of the equity markets or a sector in which the Fund invests could go down. The Fund's holdings can vary significantly from broad market indexes and the performance of the Fund can deviate from the performance of these indexes. Different parts of a market can react differently to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, political and economic developments. The Fund may invest in companies that reinvest their earnings rather than distribute them to shareholders. To the extent the Fund does invest in such companies, the Fund is not likely to receive significant dividend income on its portfolio securities. Market Risk. Your investment in Fund shares represents an indirect investment in the securities owned by the Fund. The value of these securities, like other investments, may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Securities markets are volatile. Your Fund shares at any point in time may be worth less than what you invested, even after taking into account the reinvestment of Fund dividends and distributions. Regardless of how well an individual investment performs, if financial markets go down, you could lose money. Market Capitalization Risk. The Fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization. Generally, the stock prices of small- and medium-sized companies are less stable than the prices of large company stocks and may present greater risks. In exchange for the potentially lower risks of investing in large capitalization companies, the Fund's value may not rise as much as the value of funds that emphasize smaller capitalization companies. Large capitalization companies as a group could fall out of favor with the market, causing the Fund to underperform investments that focus on smaller capitalized companies. Risks of Small and Medium Sized Companies. Small and medium capitalization companies usually offer a smaller range of products and services than larger companies. Smaller companies may also have limited financial resources and may lack management depth. As a result, their prices may fluctuate more than the stocks of larger, more established companies. Portfolio Turnover Risk. The length of time the Fund has held a particular security is not generally a consideration in investment decisions. Under certain market conditions, the Fund's turnover rate may be higher than that of other mutual funds. Portfolio turnover generally involves some expense to the Fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestment in other securities. These transactions may result in realization of taxable capital gains. The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may adversely affect the Fund's investment performance.
