<div><font style="display:inline;font-family:times new roman;font-size:10pt;" >This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund to the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated whether or not you redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same except in year one. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:</font> </div>

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 16 % of the average value of its portfolio.</font></div></div>

In selecting securities for purchase or sale, the Adviser generally analyzes the issuer of a security using fundamental factors such as growth potential and earnings estimates and quantitative factors such as historical earnings, earnings momentum and price momentum. The Fund may invest in small, mid or large capitalization companies, including foreign companies. There are no set limitations of investments according to a company's size, or to a sector weighting.

Investment in such companies tend to be more volatile and somewhat more speculative.</font></div><br/>

These risks are more pronounced to the extent the Fund invests in issuers in countries with emerging markets or if the Fund invests significantly in one country. These risks may include: less information about foreign companies may be available due to less rigorous disclosure or accounting standards or regulatory practices; adverse effect of currency exchange rates or controls on the value of the Fund's investment; the economies of foreign countries may grow at slower rates than expected or may experience a downturn or recession.
