Causeway Global Value Fund

CAUSEWAY GLOBAL VALUE FUND

Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital and income.

Fees and Expenses

The following table shows the fees and expenses that you pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

Shareholder Transaction Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

Shareholder Fees Causeway Global Value Fund	Institutional Class	Investor Class
Sales Charge (Load) on Purchases and Reinvested Distributions	none	none
Deferred Sales Charge (Load)	none	none
Redemption Fee on shares held less than 60 days (as a percentage of amount redeemed)	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 Causeway Global Value Fund		Institutional Class	Investor Class
Management Fees	[1]	0.80%	0.80%
Other Expenses		1.11%	1.28%
Shareholder Service Fees		none	0.25%
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses		0.01%	0.01%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses	[2]	1.92%	2.34%
Expense Reimbursement	[3]	0.86%	1.03%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Reimbursement		1.06%	1.31%

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then 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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Example Causeway Global Value Fund (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Institutional Class	108	520	957	2,173
Investor Class	133	632	1,157	2,597

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 52% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies and Risks

What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?

The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of companies in developed countries located outside the U.S. and of companies in the U.S. Normally, the Fund invests the majority of its total assets in companies that pay dividends or repurchase their shares.

The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in companies located in emerging (less developed) markets. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its total assets in companies located in a number of countries outside the U.S. The Fund is not required to allocate its investments in any set percentages in any particular countries. The Investment Adviser determines where a company is located, and thus whether a company is located outside the U.S. or in an emerging market, by referring to: its primary stock exchange listing; where it is registered, organized or incorporated; where its headquarters are located; its Morgan Stanley Capital International country classification; where it derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed; or where at least 50% of its assets are located. These categories are designed to identify investments that are tied economically to, and subject to the risks of, investing outside the U.S.

When investing the Fund’s assets, the Investment Adviser follows a value style. This means that the Investment Adviser buys stocks that it believes have lower prices than their true worth. For example, stocks may be “undervalued” because the issuing companies are part of industries that are currently out of favor with investors. However, even in those industries, certain companies may have high rates of growth of earnings and be financially sound.

The Investment Adviser considers each of the following value characteristics in purchasing or selling securities for the Fund:

• Low price-to-earnings ratio (stock price divided by earnings per share) relative to the sector

• High yield (percentage rate of return paid on a stock in dividends and share repurchases) relative to the market

• Low price-to-book value ratio (stock price divided by book value per share) relative to the market

• Low price-to-cash flow ratio (stock price divided by net income plus non-cash charges per share) relative to the market

• Financial strength

Generally, price-to-earnings and yield are the most important factors.

What are the main risks of investing in the Fund?

As with any mutual fund, the Fund’s value, and therefore the value of your Fund shares, may go down. This may occur because the value of a particular stock or stock market in which the Fund invests is falling. Also, the Investment Adviser may select securities that underperform the stock market or other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. If the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, you may lose money. We cannot guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Value stocks, including those selected by the Investment Adviser for the Fund, are subject to the risks that their intrinsic value may never be realized by the market and that their prices may go down. The Fund’s value discipline sometimes prevents or limits investments in stocks that are in its benchmark index, the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index (the “MSCI World Index”).

In addition, because the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in foreign securities, the Fund is subject to further risks. For example, the value of the Fund’s securities may be affected by social, political and economic developments and U.S. and foreign laws relating to foreign investment. Further, because the Fund invests in securities denominated in foreign currencies, the Fund’s securities may go down in value depending on foreign exchange rates. Other risks include trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; withholding or other taxes; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign securities less liquid, more volatile and harder to value than U.S. securities. These risks are higher for emerging markets investments.

See “Investment Risks” beginning on page 33 for more information about the risks associated with the Fund.

An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

The Fund may be an appropriate investment if you:

• Are seeking long-term growth of capital and can withstand the share price volatility of equity investing.

• Are seeking to diversify a portfolio of equity securities to include foreign securities as well as U.S. securities.

• Can tolerate the increased volatility and currency fluctuations associated with investments in foreign securities, including emerging markets securities.

• Are willing to accept the risk that the value of your investment may decline in order to seek long-term growth of capital and income.

Performance

The bar chart and the performance table that follow provide some indication of the risks and volatility of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance and by showing how the Fund’s average annual returns for 1 year, and since inception, compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. For current performance information, please visit www.causewayfunds.com.

Institutional Class:

During the period shown in the bar chart, the best quarter was 25.39% (6/30/09) and the worst quarter was -19.26% (9/30/11).

Average Annual Total Returns

After-tax returns are shown for the Institutional Class only; after-tax returns for the Investor Class will vary. 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. Your actual after-tax returns will depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts (IRAs).

For the periods ended December 31, 2012:

[2] "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses" disclosed above differ from the "Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets (Excluding Waivers)" in the financial highlights section of this Prospectus because the financial highlights do not include acquired fund fees and expenses and because Management Fees were reduced effective August 1, 2012.

[3] Under the terms of an expense limit agreement, the Investment Adviser has agreed to reimburse expenses to keep the Fund's "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses" (excluding brokerage fees and commissions, shareholder service fees, interest, taxes, fees and expenses of other funds in which the Fund invests, and extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 1.05% of the average daily net assets of each of the Institutional Class and Investor Class shares. The expense limit agreement will remain in effect until January 31, 2014 and may only be terminated earlier by the Fund's Board or upon termination of the Fund's investment advisory agreement.

Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies and Risks What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund is a fund of funds that invests in underlying funds that invest in both developed markets, excluding the United States, and emerging markets. The Investment Adviser allocates substantially all of the Fund’s assets between the International Value Fund and the Emerging Markets Fund using a proprietary asset allocation model. These Funds are also advised by the Investment Adviser and their strategies are summarized below. International Value Fund: The International Value Fund invests primarily in common stocks of companies located in developed countries outside the U.S. Normally, the International Value Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in stocks of companies located in at least ten foreign countries and invests the majority of its total assets in companies that pay dividends or repurchase their shares. There is no limit on investments in any one country. The International Value Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in companies in emerging (less developed) markets. When investing the International Value Fund’s assets, the Investment Adviser follows a value style. This means that the Investment Adviser buys stocks that it believes have a lower price than their true worth. For example, stocks may be “undervalued” because the issuing companies are part of industries that are currently out of favor with investors. However, even in those industries, certain companies may have high rates of growth of earnings and be financially sound. Emerging Markets Fund: The Emerging Markets Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities of companies located in emerging (less developed) markets and other investments that are tied economically to emerging markets. For these purposes, the Investment Adviser considers eligible investments generally to include common stock, American Depositary Receipts, European Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts and ETFs. The Investment Adviser uses a quantitative investment approach to purchase and sell investments for the Emerging Markets Fund. The Investment Adviser’s proprietary computer model analyzes a variety of fundamental, technical and macroeconomic characteristics to assist in selecting securities. The model currently analyzes characteristics of individual securities, such as valuation, earnings growth, and momentum, and to a lesser extent characteristics of countries and sectors. The Emerging Markets Fund invests in ten or more emerging markets, and the percentage of the Emerging Markets Fund’s total assets attributable to any one country is not expected to be greater than the weight of that country in the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index (the “MSCI EM Index”) plus 3 percentage points (increasing to 5 percentage points as of April 1, 2013), or less than the weight of that country in the MSCI EM Index minus 3 percentage points (increasing to 5 percentage points as of April 1, 2013), if above 0%. In addition, at the discretion of the Investment Adviser, the Emerging Markets Fund may invest in the aggregate up to 10% of total Fund assets in emerging markets not included in the MSCI EM Index. The Emerging Markets Fund generally invests in companies with market capitalizations of US$500 million or greater at the time of investment and may invest in a wide range of industries. Asset Allocation Methodology: The Investment Adviser uses quantitative signals from systems developed and managed by its quantitative portfolio managers and qualitative input from its fundamental portfolio managers to determine the allocation of assets between the International Value Fund and the Emerging Markets Fund. Quantitative signals are generated by a proprietary asset allocation model designed by the quantitative portfolio managers to indicate when allocations to emerging markets should increase or decrease relative to the Fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World Index ex U.S. (“ACWI ex U.S. Index”). The model currently analyzes characteristics in four categories: valuation, earnings growth, financial strength, and macroeconomic. The Investment Adviser’s fundamental portfolio managers evaluate these quantitative signals in light of fundamental analysis and the portfolio managers, as a team, determine the allocation between the International Value Fund and the Emerging Markets Fund. The allocation is reassessed by the quantitative model daily and adjusted periodically when deemed appropriate by the investment team. The percentage of the Fund’s total assets in the Emerging Markets Fund and other emerging markets investments, such as exchange-traded funds based on emerging markets indices (but not including any portion of the International Value Fund invested in emerging markets), is not expected to be greater than the weight of the emerging markets portion of the ACWI ex U.S. Index multiplied by two, and can be as low as zero. As of December 31, 2012, the emerging markets portion of the ACWI ex U.S. Index was 24.1%.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	What are the main risks of investing in the Fund?
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	As with any mutual fund, the Fund’s value, and therefore the value of your Fund shares, may go down. This may occur because the value of the shares of the International Value Fund or the Emerging Markets Fund, and the particular stocks or stock markets in which they invest, are falling. Also, the Investment Adviser may select securities for the International Value Fund or the Emerging Markets Fund that underperform the stock market or other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. If the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, you may lose money. We cannot guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Investment Adviser will use a proprietary, quantitative, asset allocation model to determine allocations between developed and emerging markets and thus between the International Value Fund and the Emerging Markets Fund. This will subject the Fund to the risk of relative underperformance if emerging markets exposure is relatively high when emerging markets underperform developed markets or if emerging markets exposure is relatively low when emerging markets outperform developed markets. No assurance can be given that the Investment Adviser’s asset allocation decisions will be timed to avoid underperformance or losses. Further, the Investment Adviser charges the Emerging Markets Fund a higher management fee than the International Value Fund, which presents an incentive to the Investment Adviser to allocate assets to the Emerging Markets Fund. You can invest directly in the International Value Fund and the Emerging Markets Fund. By investing in the International Value Fund and the Emerging Markets Fund indirectly through the International Opportunities Fund, you indirectly pay both your share of the International Opportunities Fund’s expenses and the expenses it pays as a shareholder of the underlying Funds. Therefore, investing in the International Opportunities Fund is more expensive than investing in the underlying Funds directly. In addition, because both the International Value Fund and Emerging Markets Fund invest most of their assets in foreign securities, the Fund is subject to further risks. For example, the value of the Fund may be affected by social, political and economic developments and U.S. and foreign laws relating to foreign investment. Further, because the International Value Fund and Emerging Markets Fund invest in securities denominated in foreign currencies, their shares, and thus the Fund’s shares, may go down in value depending on foreign exchange rates. Other risks include trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; withholding or other taxes; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign securities less liquid, more volatile and harder to value than U.S. securities. These risks are higher for emerging markets investments, as the extent of economic development, political stability, market depth, infrastructure, capitalization and regulatory oversight in emerging markets can be less than in more developed foreign markets. Value stocks, including those selected by the Investment Adviser for the International Value Fund, are subject to the risks that their intrinsic value may never be realized by the market and that their prices may go down. The International Value Fund’s value discipline sometimes prevents or limits investments in stocks that are in its benchmark index (the MSCI EAFE Index). Accordingly, the return of the Fund’s investment in the International Value Fund will not necessarily be similar to the return of the International Value Fund’s benchmark. Data for emerging markets companies may be less available and/or less current than data for developed markets companies. The Investment Adviser uses quantitative techniques to generate investment decisions for the Emerging Markets Fund and its processes and stock selection can be adversely affected if it relies on erroneous or outdated data. In addition, securities selected using quantitative analysis can perform differently from the market as a whole as a result of the characteristics used in the analysis, the weight placed on each characteristic, and changes in the characteristic's historical trends. The characteristics used in quantitative analysis and the weight placed on those characteristics may not be predictive of a security’s value, and the effectiveness of the characteristics can change over time. These changes may not be reflected in the current quantitative model. Some of the Emerging Markets Fund’s investments may be in smaller capitalization companies. The values of securities of smaller, less well-known companies can be more volatile than those of larger companies and can react differently to company, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. Smaller companies can have more limited product lines, markets, and financial resources, adding additional risk. See “Investment Risks” beginning on page 33 for more information about the risks associated with the Fund. An investment in the International Opportunities Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund may be an appropriate investment if you: Are seeking long-term growth of capital and can withstand the share price volatility of equity investing. Are seeking to diversify a portfolio of equity securities to include foreign securities, including emerging markets. Can tolerate the increased volatility and currency fluctuations associated with investments in foreign securities, including emerging markets. Are willing to accept the risk that the value of your investment may decline in order to seek long-term growth of capital.

Causeway Global Absolute Return Fund

CAUSEWAY GLOBAL ABSOLUTE RETURN FUND

Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital with low or no correlation to the Morgan Stanley Capital International World Index (the “World Index”).

Fees and Expenses

The following table shows the fees and expenses that you pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then 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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Example Causeway Global Absolute Return Fund (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Institutional Class	199	731	1,290	2,814
Investor Class	224	802	1,407	3,041

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 0% of the average value of its portfolio, although its exposures obtained through swap agreements, described below, did change during the period.

Principal Investment Strategies and Risks

What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?

The Fund takes long and short exposures in common and preferred stocks of companies located primarily in developed countries outside the U.S. and of companies in the U.S. To obtain exposure to long and short positions in securities, the Fund enters into one or more total return equity swap agreements (each, a “swap agreement”). Although the Fund is permitted to take direct long and short positions in securities, other than swap agreements, it does not currently intend directly to purchase or sell securities or to hold short positions in securities. The Investment Adviser uses its fundamental global value equity strategy to manage the Fund’s long exposures (the “global long portfolio” of the Fund). The Investment Adviser uses its quantitative investment strategy designed to identify short exposures that it expects to underperform the World Index to manage the Fund’s short exposures (the “global short portfolio” of the Fund).

The dollar amount of the Fund’s long exposures will generally be equivalent to the dollar amount of its short exposures. By having approximately equivalent amounts of long and short exposures, the Fund seeks to generate returns that have low or no correlation to the World Index, and lower volatility than the World Index. This would limit the Fund’s participation in a market upswing. The Fund’s benchmark is the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index. While the total dollar amount of long and short exposures is expected to be approximately equal, the global long portfolio and the global short portfolio are managed using different styles and, as a result, will have exposures that will not be hedged. For example, the global long portfolio and global short portfolio will have exposures to different companies, and the Fund’s portfolio exposures, including country exposures, industry or sector exposures, currency exposures and risk characteristics (e.g., value, growth, size, cyclicality, volatility and momentum), will differ between the global long and short portfolios.

Depending on the exposures taken, exposures in the global long portfolio may even be increased by exposures taken in the global short portfolio, and vice versa. Normally, the Fund’s assets (other than the swap agreements) are directly invested primarily in money market instruments that are used to support and cover the Fund’s obligations under its swap agreements.

Swap Agreements. Under a swap agreement, the Fund pays the other party to the agreement (a “swap counterparty”) fees plus an amount equal to any negative total returns from stipulated underlying investments identified by the Fund’s portfolio managers, using the strategies described below. In exchange, the counterparty pays the Fund an amount equal to any positive total returns from the stipulated underlying investments. The returns to be “swapped” between the Fund and the swap counterparty are calculated with reference to a “notional” amount, i.e., the dollar amount hypothetically invested, long or short, in a particular security or group of securities. The Fund’s returns will generally depend on the net amount to be paid or received under the swap agreement, which will depend on the market movements of the stipulated underlying securities. The Fund’s net asset value reflects any amounts owed to the Fund by the swap counterparty (when the Fund’s position under a swap agreement is, on a net basis, “in the money”) or amounts owed by the Fund to the counterparty (when the Fund’s position under a swap agreement is, on a net basis, “out of the money”). The Fund currently enters into swap agreements primarily with one counterparty, but may use additional counterparties. While the Fund currently intends to use only swap agreements, it is also permitted directly to purchase and sell securities.

Swap Agreement Financing Charges and Transaction Costs. Under a swap agreement, the Fund pays financing charges to the counterparty based on the notional amount of exposures, and the Fund also pays transaction costs when it changes exposures to stipulated underlying investments, including brokerage commissions and stamp taxes. Although the Fund is not itself trading in underlying investments, the counterparty charges the Fund as if it were trading directly. These charges permit the counterparty, if it desires to hedge its obligations to the Fund, to recover the costs of any such hedging. In addition, the Fund pays the counterparty amounts equal to any dividends paid on securities to which the Fund has short exposures.

Swap Agreements and Leverage. Normally, the Fund’s assets (other than the swap agreements) are directly invested primarily in money market instruments that are used to support and cover the Fund’s obligations under its swap agreements. However, the use of a swap agreement allows the Fund to obtain investment exposures greater than it could otherwise obtain with direct investments, allowing it to effectively increase, or leverage, its total long and short investment exposures to up to four times its net asset value.

Periodic Settlement of Swap Agreements. The Fund currently expects to settle swap positions at least monthly, and may do so more frequently, so that the value of (that is, the net gain under) any swap agreements, when they are “in the money,” with a single counterparty will not exceed 5% of the value of the Fund’s total assets. While periodically settling a swap position is intended to limit counterparty risk, it will also cause the Fund to realize ordinary income and short-term capital gains, if any, throughout the year that, when distributed to its shareholders, will be taxable to them as ordinary income rather than at lower long-term capital gains rates.

Exposures Underlying Swap Agreements. The Investment Adviser expects the Fund generally to have long exposures to between approximately 35 and 55 common and preferred stocks of companies and short exposures to between approximately 75 and 150 common and preferred stocks of companies. The global short portfolio is expected, normally, to have higher turnover of its exposures than the global long portfolio. Under normal circumstances, at least 40% of the Fund’s total exposures will be to companies located in a number of countries outside the U.S. Up to 20% of the Fund’s total exposures may include exposures to companies located in emerging markets. The Fund’s Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) discusses how the Investment Adviser determines where a company is located. The Fund may have exposures to companies of all sizes and in any industry, and the Fund does not intend to have concentrated exposure to any particular industry, as measured relative to the Fund’s exposures to all industries. The use of swap agreements and the ability to use leverage to increase economic exposures relative to the Fund’s net assets may, however, result in the Fund obtaining greater economic exposures to particular industries than would otherwise be the case and being susceptible to industry-specific market or economic developments.

Global Long Portfolio. The global long portfolio of the Fund is exposed primarily to long positions in common and preferred stocks of companies in developed countries located outside the U.S. and of companies in the U.S. Normally, the majority of the global long portfolio is exposed to companies that pay dividends or repurchase their shares.

The Investment Adviser follows a value style for the global long portfolio of the Fund. This means that this portfolio has exposure to stocks that the Investment Adviser believes have a lower price than their true worth. For example, stocks may be “undervalued” because the issuing companies are part of industries that are currently out of favor with investors. However, even in those industries, certain companies may have high rates of growth of earnings and be financially sound.

The Investment Adviser considers each of the following value characteristics in identifying, increasing, or decreasing exposures for the global long portfolio of the Fund:

• Low price-to-earnings ratio (stock price divided by earnings per share) relative to the sector

• High yield (percentage rate of return paid on a stock in dividends and share repurchases) relative to the market

• Low price-to-book value ratio (stock price divided by book value per share) relative to the market

• Low price-to-cash flow ratio (stock price divided by net income plus non-cash charges per share) relative to the market

• Financial strength

Generally, price-to-earnings and yield are the most important factors.

Global Short Portfolio. The global short portfolio of the Fund is exposed primarily to short positions in common and preferred stocks of companies in developed countries located outside the U.S. and of companies in the U.S. that the Investment Adviser believes will underperform the World Index. If the World Index is increasing, a short position may underperform the World Index and still lose value. The Investment Adviser uses a quantitative investment strategy to identify, increase, or decrease exposures, and to analyze certain financial characteristics that the portfolio managers believe are influential in determining whether a security will underperform the World Index. These characteristics include, among others, valuation metrics, earnings growth, technical/price momentum, and financial strength/earnings quality. In addition to its quantitative research, the Investment Adviser’s fundamental research analysts review the quantitative outputs to attempt to identify special issues, such as significant corporate actions or management changes, which cannot be detected quantitatively.

What are the main risks of investing in the Fund?

As with any mutual fund, the Fund’s value, and therefore the value of your Fund shares, may go down. This may occur because the value of a particular stock or stock market to which the Fund has long exposure is falling, or to which it has short exposure is rising. Also, the Investment Adviser may identify investments that underperform the stock market or other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. If the value of the Fund’s assets or exposures decreases, you may lose money. We cannot guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Risks associated with foreign securities, value stocks, quantitative techniques, management and style risks, and short positions, as described below, apply whether the Fund obtains exposures through a swap agreement or makes direct investments.

Foreign and Emerging Markets Risk. Because the Fund has significant exposure to foreign securities, the Fund is subject to further risks. For example, the value of the Fund’s exposures may be affected by social, political and economic developments and U.S. and foreign laws relating to foreign investment. Further, because the Fund has exposures to securities denominated in foreign currencies, the Fund’s value could decrease depending on foreign exchange rates. Other risks applicable to foreign companies that could impact the value of their securities, and thus the value of the Fund’s exposures, include trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; withholding or other taxes; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign securities less liquid, more volatile and harder to value than U.S. securities. These risks are higher for emerging markets investments.

Value Stock Risk. Value stocks, including those identified by the Investment Adviser for the global long portfolio of the Fund, are subject to the risks that their intrinsic value may never be realized by the market and that their prices may go down.

Quantitative Strategy Risk. The Investment Adviser uses quantitative techniques to identify exposures for the global short portfolio of the Fund. Securities identified using quantitative analysis can perform differently from the market as a whole as a result of the factors used in the analysis, the weight placed on each factor, and changes in the factor's historical trends. The factors used in quantitative analysis and the weight placed on those factors may not be predictive of a security exposure’s value, and the effectiveness of the factors can change over time. These changes may not be reflected in the current quantitative model. In addition, data for emerging markets companies may be less available and/or less current than data for developed markets companies, and the Investment Adviser’s processes and exposure selection can be adversely affected if it relies on erroneous or outdated data.

Short Exposure Risk. The global short portfolio of the Fund is exposed primarily to short positions through swap agreements. Short positions are subject to special risks. Short positions obtain exposure to securities with the goal of closing the position at a later date when the value of the security has decreased. If the price of the security increases before the position is closed, the Fund will incur a loss equal to the increase in price from the time the exposure was obtained, calculated based on the notional value of the exposure, plus any other charges payable under a swap agreement. Because the short exposures will exceed the Fund’s net assets, the risk of loss is increased. Further, since the Fund will lose money if the value of the underlying security increases, losses are potentially unlimited. This risk is magnified in periods of market turmoil.

Management and Style Risks. While the total dollar amounts of long and short exposures are expected to be approximately equal, the global long portfolio and the global short portfolio are managed using different styles and, as a result, will have exposures that will not be hedged. If the value of the exposures in the global short portfolio of the Fund increases at the same time that the value of exposures in the global long portfolio of the Fund decreases, the Fund will be exposed to significant losses, which will be magnified by leverage through the use of swap agreements.

Besides having exposures to different companies, the Fund’s portfolio exposures, including country exposures, industry or sector exposures, currency exposures and risk characteristics (e.g., value, growth, size, cyclicality, volatility and momentum), will differ between the global long and short portfolios. These portfolio characteristics will not be hedged, and the global long portfolio may have exposures to portfolio characteristics to which the global short portfolio does not have the same type or extent of exposure, and vice versa. Depending on the exposures, it is possible that the Fund could create positive correlation instead of hedging its overall exposure to a particular portfolio characteristic through both the global long and short portfolios, thereby magnifying the Fund’s exposure rather than offsetting its risk. The Fund will be subject to losses if a portfolio characteristic to which it has exposure performs poorly, and the extent of losses will be magnified by leverage through the use of swap agreements.

Swap Agreement Risks. A swap agreement is a form of derivative instrument, which involves the use of leverage. A swap agreement can be volatile and involves significant risks, including counterparty risk, leverage risk, liquidity risk, and short position risk. The use of a swap agreement will expose the Fund to additional risks that it would not be subject to if it had invested directly in the securities underlying the swap agreement and may result in larger losses or smaller gains than would otherwise be the case.

The Fund pays significant swap expenses (including financing charges based on the notional amount of exposures) when investing through swap agreements, and pays transaction costs when it changes exposures to securities underlying a swap agreement, including amounts equivalent to brokerage commissions and stamp taxes that would be incurred if the Fund were directly trading. In addition, the Fund pays the counterparty amounts equal to any dividends paid on securities to which the Fund has short exposure. These fees and charges reduce investment returns and increase investment losses.

By using swap agreements, the Fund is exposed to additional risks concerning the counterparty. For example, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of the counterparty, or if the counterparty fails to honor its obligations. The Fund currently uses swap agreements primarily with one counterparty, focusing its exposure to the credit risk of that counterparty. Further, the swap counterparty’s obligations to the Fund likely will not be collateralized. The Fund currently intends, however, to settle swap agreements at least monthly, and may do so more frequently, so that net gains under swap agreements with a single counterparty do not exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets at any given time.

There is the risk that a counterparty refuses to continue to enter into swap agreements with the Fund in the future, or requires increased fees, which could impair the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. A swap counterparty may also increase its collateral or margin requirements, due to regulatory requirements or otherwise, which may limit the Fund’s ability to use leverage and reduce investment returns. Pursuant to recent regulatory changes, the swap agreements used by the Fund have become subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and the SEC. The impact of these new requirements on the Fund and its counterparties is uncertain. However, they may cause counterparties to increase fees charged to the Fund or make them less willing to enter into swap agreements with the Fund in the future. If the Fund cannot locate a counterparty willing to enter into transactions with the Fund, it will not be able to implement its investment strategy.

A swap agreement is a form of derivative that includes leverage, allowing the Fund to obtain the right to a return on a stipulated capital base that exceeds the amount the Fund has invested. Although the Fund will segregate or earmark liquid assets to cover its net obligations under a swap agreement, the amount will be limited to the current value of the Fund’s obligations to the counterparty, and will not prevent the Fund from incurring losses greater than the value of those obligations. The use of swap agreements could cause the Fund to be more volatile, resulting in larger gains or losses in response to changes in the values of the securities underlying the swap agreements than if the Fund had made direct investments. Use of leverage involves special risks and is speculative. If the Investment Adviser is incorrect in evaluating long and short exposures, leverage will magnify any losses, and such losses may be significant.

By using swap agreements, the Fund is exposed to liquidity risks since it may not be able to settle a swap agreement immediately, particularly during times of market turmoil. It may also be difficult to value a swap agreement if the Fund has difficulty in closing the position. Although the Fund intends to settle swap agreements so that net gains under swap agreements with a single counterparty do not exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets at any given time, it may have difficulty doing so in a timely manner and could, as a result, incur losses that otherwise might have been avoided.

The Fund currently expects to settle swap agreements at least monthly, which will cause the Fund to realize ordinary income and short-term capital gains, if any, throughout the year that, when distributed to its shareholders, will be taxable to them as ordinary income rather than at lower long-term capital gains rates.

Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies and Risks What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of companies located in developed countries outside the U.S. Normally, the Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in stocks of companies located in at least ten foreign countries and invests the majority of its total assets in companies that pay dividends or repurchase their shares. There is no limit on investments in any one country. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in companies in emerging (less developed) markets. The Investment Adviser determines where a company is located, and thus whether a company is located outside the U.S. or in an emerging market, by referring to: its primary stock exchange listing; where it is registered, organized or incorporated; where its headquarters are located; its Morgan Stanley Capital International country classification; where it derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed; or where at least 50% of its assets are located. These categories are designed to identify investments that are tied economically to, and subject to the risks of, investing outside the U.S. When investing the Fund’s assets, the Investment Adviser follows a value style. This means that the Investment Adviser buys stocks that it believes have a lower price than their true worth. For example, stocks may be “undervalued” because the issuing companies are part of industries that are currently out of favor with investors. However, even in those industries, certain companies may have high rates of growth of earnings and be financially sound. The Investment Adviser considers each of the following value characteristics in purchasing or selling securities for the Fund: Low price-to-earnings ratio (stock price divided by earnings per share) relative to the sector High yield (percentage rate of return paid on a stock in dividends and share repurchases) relative to the market Low price-to-book value ratio (stock price divided by book value per share) relative to the market Low price-to-cash flow ratio (stock price divided by net income plus noncash charges per share) relative to the market Financial strength Generally, price-to-earnings and yield are the most important factors.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	What are the main risks of investing in the Fund?
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	As with any mutual fund, the Fund’s value, and therefore the value of your Fund shares, may go down. This may occur because the value of a particular stock or stock market in which the Fund invests is falling. Also, the Investment Adviser may select securities that underperform the stock market or other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. If the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, you may lose money. We cannot guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Value stocks, including those selected by the Investment Adviser for the Fund, are subject to the risks that their intrinsic value may never be realized by the market and that their prices may go down. The Fund’s value discipline sometimes prevents or limits investments in stocks that are in its benchmark index, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (the “MSCI EAFE® Index”). In addition, because the Fund invests most of its assets in foreign securities, the Fund is subject to further risks. For example, the value of the Fund’s securities may be affected by social, political and economic developments and U.S. and foreign laws relating to foreign investment. Further, because the Fund invests in securities denominated in foreign currencies, the Fund’s securities may go down in value depending on foreign exchange rates. Other risks include trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; withholding or other taxes; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign securities less liquid, more volatile and harder to value than U.S. securities. These risks are higher for emerging markets investments. See “Investment Risks” beginning on page 33 for more information about the risks associated with the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund may be an appropriate investment if you: Are seeking long-term growth of capital and can withstand the share price volatility of equity investing. Are seeking to diversify a portfolio of equity securities to include foreign securities. Can tolerate the increased volatility and currency fluctuations associated with investments in foreign securities. Are willing to accept the risk that the value of your investment may decline in order to seek long-term growth of capital and income.

Causeway International Value Fund

CAUSEWAY INTERNATIONAL VALUE FUND

Investment Objective

The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital and income.

Fees and Expenses

The following table shows the fees and expenses that you pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

Shareholder Transaction Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

Shareholder Fees Causeway International Value Fund	Institutional Class	Investor Class
Sales Charge (Load) on Purchases and Reinvested Distributions	none	none
Deferred Sales Charge (Load)	none	none
Redemption Fee on shares held less than 60 days (as a percentage of amount redeemed)	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 Causeway International Value Fund		Institutional Class	Investor Class
Management Fees		0.80%	0.80%
Other Expenses	[1]	0.19%	0.19%
Shareholder Service Fees		none	0.25%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses		0.99%	1.24%

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then 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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Example Causeway International Value Fund (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Institutional Class	101	315	547	1,213
Investor Class	126	393	681	1,500

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 21% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies and Risks

What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?

The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of companies located in developed countries outside the U.S. Normally, the Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in stocks of companies located in at least ten foreign countries and invests the majority of its total assets in companies that pay dividends or repurchase their shares. There is no limit on investments in any one country. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in companies in emerging (less developed) markets.

The Investment Adviser determines where a company is located, and thus whether a company is located outside the U.S. or in an emerging market, by referring to: its primary stock exchange listing; where it is registered, organized or incorporated; where its headquarters are located; its Morgan Stanley Capital International country classification; where it derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed; or where at least 50% of its assets are located. These categories are designed to identify investments that are tied economically to, and subject to the risks of, investing outside the U.S.

When investing the Fund’s assets, the Investment Adviser follows a value style. This means that the Investment Adviser buys stocks that it believes have a lower price than their true worth. For example, stocks may be “undervalued” because the issuing companies are part of industries that are currently out of favor with investors. However, even in those industries, certain companies may have high rates of growth of earnings and be financially sound.

The Investment Adviser considers each of the following value characteristics in purchasing or selling securities for the Fund:

• Low price-to-earnings ratio (stock price divided by earnings per share) relative to the sector

• High yield (percentage rate of return paid on a stock in dividends and share repurchases) relative to the market

• Low price-to-book value ratio (stock price divided by book value per share) relative to the market

• Low price-to-cash flow ratio (stock price divided by net income plus noncash charges per share) relative to the market

• Financial strength

Generally, price-to-earnings and yield are the most important factors.

What are the main risks of investing in the Fund?

As with any mutual fund, the Fund’s value, and therefore the value of your Fund shares, may go down. This may occur because the value of a particular stock or stock market in which the Fund invests is falling. Also, the Investment Adviser may select securities that underperform the stock market or other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. If the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, you may lose money. We cannot guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Value stocks, including those selected by the Investment Adviser for the Fund, are subject to the risks that their intrinsic value may never be realized by the market and that their prices may go down. The Fund’s value discipline sometimes prevents or limits investments in stocks that are in its benchmark index, the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (the “MSCI EAFE^® Index”).

In addition, because the Fund invests most of its assets in foreign securities, the Fund is subject to further risks. For example, the value of the Fund’s securities may be affected by social, political and economic developments and U.S. and foreign laws relating to foreign investment. Further, because the Fund invests in securities denominated in foreign currencies, the Fund’s securities may go down in value depending on foreign exchange rates. Other risks include trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; withholding or other taxes; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign securities less liquid, more volatile and harder to value than U.S. securities. These risks are higher for emerging markets investments.

See “Investment Risks” beginning on page 33 for more information about the risks associated with the Fund.

An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

The Fund may be an appropriate investment if you:

• Are seeking long-term growth of capital and can withstand the share price volatility of equity investing.

• Are seeking to diversify a portfolio of equity securities to include foreign securities.

• Can tolerate the increased volatility and currency fluctuations associated with investments in foreign securities.

• Are willing to accept the risk that the value of your investment may decline in order to seek long-term growth of capital and income.

Performance

The bar chart and the performance table that follow provide some indication of the risks and volatility of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund’s average annual returns for 1, 5 and 10 years, and since inception, compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. For current performance information, please visit www.causewayfunds.com.

Institutional Class:

During the period shown in the bar chart, the best quarter was 25.64% (6/30/03) and the worst quarter was -22.05% (9/30/11).

Average Annual Total Returns

After-tax returns are shown for the Institutional Class only; after-tax returns for the Investor Class will vary. 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. Your actual after-tax returns will depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts (IRAs).

Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies and Risks What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities of companies located in emerging (less developed) markets and other investments that are tied economically to emerging markets. For these purposes, the Investment Adviser considers eligible investments generally to include common stock, American Depositary Receipts, European Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The Investment Adviser uses a quantitative investment approach to purchase and sell investments for the Fund. The Investment Adviser’s proprietary computer model analyzes a variety of fundamental, technical and macroeconomic characteristics to assist in selecting securities. The model currently analyzes characteristics of individual securities, such as valuation, earnings growth, and momentum, and to a lesser extent characteristics of countries and sectors. The Fund invests in ten or more emerging markets, and the percentage of the Fund’s total assets attributable to any one country is not expected to be greater than the weight of that country in the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index (the “MSCI EM Index”) plus 3 percentage points (increasing to 5 percentage points as of April 1, 2013), or less than the weight of that country in the MSCI EM Index minus 3 percentage points (increasing to 5 percentage points as of April 1, 2013), if above 0%. For these purposes, emerging markets include, but are not limited to, countries included in the MSCI EM Index, which currently are: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Peru, the Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey. In addition, at the discretion of the Investment Adviser, the Fund may invest in the aggregate up to 10% of total Fund assets in emerging markets not included in the MSCI EM Index. The Investment Adviser determines where a company is located, and thus whether a company is located in an emerging market, by referring to: its primary stock exchange listing; where it is registered, organized or incorporated; where its headquarters are located; its Morgan Stanley Capital International country classification; where it derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed; or where at least 50% of its assets are located. The Fund generally invests in companies with market capitalizations of US$500 million or greater at the time of investment and may invest in a wide range of industries.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	What are the main risks of investing in the Fund?
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	As with any mutual fund, the Fund’s value, and therefore the value of your Fund shares, may go down. This may occur because the value of a particular stock or stock market in which the Fund invests is falling. Also, the Investment Adviser may select securities that underperform the stock market or other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. If the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, you may lose money. We cannot guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Fund’s investments in companies in emerging markets involve special risks not present in U.S. investments that can increase the chances that the Fund will lose money. For example, the value of the Fund’s securities may be affected by social, political and economic developments and U.S. and foreign laws relating to foreign investment. The extent of economic development, political stability, market depth, infrastructure, capitalization and regulatory oversight in emerging markets can be less than in more developed foreign markets. Further, because the Fund invests in securities denominated in foreign currencies, the Fund’s securities may go down in value depending on foreign exchange rates. Other risks include trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; withholding or other taxes; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make emerging markets securities less liquid, more volatile and harder to value than U.S. securities. Data for emerging markets companies may be less available and/or less current than data for developed markets companies. The Investment Adviser will use quantitative techniques to generate investment decisions and its processes and stock selection can be adversely affected if it relies on erroneous or outdated data. In addition, securities selected using quantitative analysis can perform differently from the market as a whole as a result of the characteristics used in the analysis, the weight placed on each characteristic, and changes in the characteristic's historical trends. The characteristics used in quantitative analysis and the weight placed on those characteristics may not be predictive of a security’s value, and the effectiveness of the characteristics can change over time. These changes may not be reflected in the current quantitative model. Some of the Fund’s investments may be in smaller capitalization companies. The values of securities of smaller, less well-known companies can be more volatile than those of larger companies and can react differently to company, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. Smaller companies can have more limited product lines, markets, and financial resources, adding additional risk. See “Investment Risks” beginning on page 33 for more information about the risks associated with the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund may be an appropriate investment if you: Are seeking long-term growth of capital and can withstand the share price volatility of equity investing. Are seeking to diversify a portfolio of equity securities to include emerging markets securities. Can tolerate the increased volatility and currency fluctuations associated with investments in foreign securities, and especially emerging markets. Are willing to accept the risk that the value of your investment may decline in order to seek long-term growth of capital.

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 0% of the average value of its portfolio, although its exposures obtained through swap agreements, described below, did change during the period.

Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies and Risks What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund takes long and short exposures in common and preferred stocks of companies located primarily in developed countries outside the U.S. and of companies in the U.S. To obtain exposure to long and short positions in securities, the Fund enters into one or more total return equity swap agreements (each, a “swap agreement”). Although the Fund is permitted to take direct long and short positions in securities, other than swap agreements, it does not currently intend directly to purchase or sell securities or to hold short positions in securities. The Investment Adviser uses its fundamental global value equity strategy to manage the Fund’s long exposures (the “global long portfolio” of the Fund). The Investment Adviser uses its quantitative investment strategy designed to identify short exposures that it expects to underperform the World Index to manage the Fund’s short exposures (the “global short portfolio” of the Fund). The dollar amount of the Fund’s long exposures will generally be equivalent to the dollar amount of its short exposures. By having approximately equivalent amounts of long and short exposures, the Fund seeks to generate returns that have low or no correlation to the World Index, and lower volatility than the World Index. This would limit the Fund’s participation in a market upswing. The Fund’s benchmark is the BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index. While the total dollar amount of long and short exposures is expected to be approximately equal, the global long portfolio and the global short portfolio are managed using different styles and, as a result, will have exposures that will not be hedged. For example, the global long portfolio and global short portfolio will have exposures to different companies, and the Fund’s portfolio exposures, including country exposures, industry or sector exposures, currency exposures and risk characteristics (e.g., value, growth, size, cyclicality, volatility and momentum), will differ between the global long and short portfolios. Depending on the exposures taken, exposures in the global long portfolio may even be increased by exposures taken in the global short portfolio, and vice versa. Normally, the Fund’s assets (other than the swap agreements) are directly invested primarily in money market instruments that are used to support and cover the Fund’s obligations under its swap agreements. Swap Agreements. Under a swap agreement, the Fund pays the other party to the agreement (a “swap counterparty”) fees plus an amount equal to any negative total returns from stipulated underlying investments identified by the Fund’s portfolio managers, using the strategies described below. In exchange, the counterparty pays the Fund an amount equal to any positive total returns from the stipulated underlying investments. The returns to be “swapped” between the Fund and the swap counterparty are calculated with reference to a “notional” amount, i.e., the dollar amount hypothetically invested, long or short, in a particular security or group of securities. The Fund’s returns will generally depend on the net amount to be paid or received under the swap agreement, which will depend on the market movements of the stipulated underlying securities. The Fund’s net asset value reflects any amounts owed to the Fund by the swap counterparty (when the Fund’s position under a swap agreement is, on a net basis, “in the money”) or amounts owed by the Fund to the counterparty (when the Fund’s position under a swap agreement is, on a net basis, “out of the money”). The Fund currently enters into swap agreements primarily with one counterparty, but may use additional counterparties. While the Fund currently intends to use only swap agreements, it is also permitted directly to purchase and sell securities. Swap Agreement Financing Charges and Transaction Costs. Under a swap agreement, the Fund pays financing charges to the counterparty based on the notional amount of exposures, and the Fund also pays transaction costs when it changes exposures to stipulated underlying investments, including brokerage commissions and stamp taxes. Although the Fund is not itself trading in underlying investments, the counterparty charges the Fund as if it were trading directly. These charges permit the counterparty, if it desires to hedge its obligations to the Fund, to recover the costs of any such hedging. In addition, the Fund pays the counterparty amounts equal to any dividends paid on securities to which the Fund has short exposures. Swap Agreements and Leverage. Normally, the Fund’s assets (other than the swap agreements) are directly invested primarily in money market instruments that are used to support and cover the Fund’s obligations under its swap agreements. However, the use of a swap agreement allows the Fund to obtain investment exposures greater than it could otherwise obtain with direct investments, allowing it to effectively increase, or leverage, its total long and short investment exposures to up to four times its net asset value. Periodic Settlement of Swap Agreements. The Fund currently expects to settle swap positions at least monthly, and may do so more frequently, so that the value of (that is, the net gain under) any swap agreements, when they are “in the money,” with a single counterparty will not exceed 5% of the value of the Fund’s total assets. While periodically settling a swap position is intended to limit counterparty risk, it will also cause the Fund to realize ordinary income and short-term capital gains, if any, throughout the year that, when distributed to its shareholders, will be taxable to them as ordinary income rather than at lower long-term capital gains rates. Exposures Underlying Swap Agreements. The Investment Adviser expects the Fund generally to have long exposures to between approximately 35 and 55 common and preferred stocks of companies and short exposures to between approximately 75 and 150 common and preferred stocks of companies. The global short portfolio is expected, normally, to have higher turnover of its exposures than the global long portfolio. Under normal circumstances, at least 40% of the Fund’s total exposures will be to companies located in a number of countries outside the U.S. Up to 20% of the Fund’s total exposures may include exposures to companies located in emerging markets. The Fund’s Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) discusses how the Investment Adviser determines where a company is located. The Fund may have exposures to companies of all sizes and in any industry, and the Fund does not intend to have concentrated exposure to any particular industry, as measured relative to the Fund’s exposures to all industries. The use of swap agreements and the ability to use leverage to increase economic exposures relative to the Fund’s net assets may, however, result in the Fund obtaining greater economic exposures to particular industries than would otherwise be the case and being susceptible to industry-specific market or economic developments. Global Long Portfolio. The global long portfolio of the Fund is exposed primarily to long positions in common and preferred stocks of companies in developed countries located outside the U.S. and of companies in the U.S. Normally, the majority of the global long portfolio is exposed to companies that pay dividends or repurchase their shares. The Investment Adviser follows a value style for the global long portfolio of the Fund. This means that this portfolio has exposure to stocks that the Investment Adviser believes have a lower price than their true worth. For example, stocks may be “undervalued” because the issuing companies are part of industries that are currently out of favor with investors. However, even in those industries, certain companies may have high rates of growth of earnings and be financially sound. The Investment Adviser considers each of the following value characteristics in identifying, increasing, or decreasing exposures for the global long portfolio of the Fund: Low price-to-earnings ratio (stock price divided by earnings per share) relative to the sector High yield (percentage rate of return paid on a stock in dividends and share repurchases) relative to the market Low price-to-book value ratio (stock price divided by book value per share) relative to the market Low price-to-cash flow ratio (stock price divided by net income plus non-cash charges per share) relative to the market Financial strength Generally, price-to-earnings and yield are the most important factors. Global Short Portfolio. The global short portfolio of the Fund is exposed primarily to short positions in common and preferred stocks of companies in developed countries located outside the U.S. and of companies in the U.S. that the Investment Adviser believes will underperform the World Index. If the World Index is increasing, a short position may underperform the World Index and still lose value. The Investment Adviser uses a quantitative investment strategy to identify, increase, or decrease exposures, and to analyze certain financial characteristics that the portfolio managers believe are influential in determining whether a security will underperform the World Index. These characteristics include, among others, valuation metrics, earnings growth, technical/price momentum, and financial strength/earnings quality. In addition to its quantitative research, the Investment Adviser’s fundamental research analysts review the quantitative outputs to attempt to identify special issues, such as significant corporate actions or management changes, which cannot be detected quantitatively.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	What are the main risks of investing in the Fund?
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	As with any mutual fund, the Fund’s value, and therefore the value of your Fund shares, may go down. This may occur because the value of a particular stock or stock market to which the Fund has long exposure is falling, or to which it has short exposure is rising. Also, the Investment Adviser may identify investments that underperform the stock market or other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. If the value of the Fund’s assets or exposures decreases, you may lose money. We cannot guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Risks associated with foreign securities, value stocks, quantitative techniques, management and style risks, and short positions, as described below, apply whether the Fund obtains exposures through a swap agreement or makes direct investments. Foreign and Emerging Markets Risk. Because the Fund has significant exposure to foreign securities, the Fund is subject to further risks. For example, the value of the Fund’s exposures may be affected by social, political and economic developments and U.S. and foreign laws relating to foreign investment. Further, because the Fund has exposures to securities denominated in foreign currencies, the Fund’s value could decrease depending on foreign exchange rates. Other risks applicable to foreign companies that could impact the value of their securities, and thus the value of the Fund’s exposures, include trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; withholding or other taxes; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign securities less liquid, more volatile and harder to value than U.S. securities. These risks are higher for emerging markets investments. Value Stock Risk. Value stocks, including those identified by the Investment Adviser for the global long portfolio of the Fund, are subject to the risks that their intrinsic value may never be realized by the market and that their prices may go down. Quantitative Strategy Risk. The Investment Adviser uses quantitative techniques to identify exposures for the global short portfolio of the Fund. Securities identified using quantitative analysis can perform differently from the market as a whole as a result of the factors used in the analysis, the weight placed on each factor, and changes in the factor's historical trends. The factors used in quantitative analysis and the weight placed on those factors may not be predictive of a security exposure’s value, and the effectiveness of the factors can change over time. These changes may not be reflected in the current quantitative model. In addition, data for emerging markets companies may be less available and/or less current than data for developed markets companies, and the Investment Adviser’s processes and exposure selection can be adversely affected if it relies on erroneous or outdated data. Short Exposure Risk. The global short portfolio of the Fund is exposed primarily to short positions through swap agreements. Short positions are subject to special risks. Short positions obtain exposure to securities with the goal of closing the position at a later date when the value of the security has decreased. If the price of the security increases before the position is closed, the Fund will incur a loss equal to the increase in price from the time the exposure was obtained, calculated based on the notional value of the exposure, plus any other charges payable under a swap agreement. Because the short exposures will exceed the Fund’s net assets, the risk of loss is increased. Further, since the Fund will lose money if the value of the underlying security increases, losses are potentially unlimited. This risk is magnified in periods of market turmoil. Management and Style Risks. While the total dollar amounts of long and short exposures are expected to be approximately equal, the global long portfolio and the global short portfolio are managed using different styles and, as a result, will have exposures that will not be hedged. If the value of the exposures in the global short portfolio of the Fund increases at the same time that the value of exposures in the global long portfolio of the Fund decreases, the Fund will be exposed to significant losses, which will be magnified by leverage through the use of swap agreements. Besides having exposures to different companies, the Fund’s portfolio exposures, including country exposures, industry or sector exposures, currency exposures and risk characteristics (e.g., value, growth, size, cyclicality, volatility and momentum), will differ between the global long and short portfolios. These portfolio characteristics will not be hedged, and the global long portfolio may have exposures to portfolio characteristics to which the global short portfolio does not have the same type or extent of exposure, and vice versa. Depending on the exposures, it is possible that the Fund could create positive correlation instead of hedging its overall exposure to a particular portfolio characteristic through both the global long and short portfolios, thereby magnifying the Fund’s exposure rather than offsetting its risk. The Fund will be subject to losses if a portfolio characteristic to which it has exposure performs poorly, and the extent of losses will be magnified by leverage through the use of swap agreements. Swap Agreement Risks. A swap agreement is a form of derivative instrument, which involves the use of leverage. A swap agreement can be volatile and involves significant risks, including counterparty risk, leverage risk, liquidity risk, and short position risk. The use of a swap agreement will expose the Fund to additional risks that it would not be subject to if it had invested directly in the securities underlying the swap agreement and may result in larger losses or smaller gains than would otherwise be the case. The Fund pays significant swap expenses (including financing charges based on the notional amount of exposures) when investing through swap agreements, and pays transaction costs when it changes exposures to securities underlying a swap agreement, including amounts equivalent to brokerage commissions and stamp taxes that would be incurred if the Fund were directly trading. In addition, the Fund pays the counterparty amounts equal to any dividends paid on securities to which the Fund has short exposure. These fees and charges reduce investment returns and increase investment losses. By using swap agreements, the Fund is exposed to additional risks concerning the counterparty. For example, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of the counterparty, or if the counterparty fails to honor its obligations. The Fund currently uses swap agreements primarily with one counterparty, focusing its exposure to the credit risk of that counterparty. Further, the swap counterparty’s obligations to the Fund likely will not be collateralized. The Fund currently intends, however, to settle swap agreements at least monthly, and may do so more frequently, so that net gains under swap agreements with a single counterparty do not exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets at any given time. There is the risk that a counterparty refuses to continue to enter into swap agreements with the Fund in the future, or requires increased fees, which could impair the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. A swap counterparty may also increase its collateral or margin requirements, due to regulatory requirements or otherwise, which may limit the Fund’s ability to use leverage and reduce investment returns. Pursuant to recent regulatory changes, the swap agreements used by the Fund have become subject to regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and the SEC. The impact of these new requirements on the Fund and its counterparties is uncertain. However, they may cause counterparties to increase fees charged to the Fund or make them less willing to enter into swap agreements with the Fund in the future. If the Fund cannot locate a counterparty willing to enter into transactions with the Fund, it will not be able to implement its investment strategy. A swap agreement is a form of derivative that includes leverage, allowing the Fund to obtain the right to a return on a stipulated capital base that exceeds the amount the Fund has invested. Although the Fund will segregate or earmark liquid assets to cover its net obligations under a swap agreement, the amount will be limited to the current value of the Fund’s obligations to the counterparty, and will not prevent the Fund from incurring losses greater than the value of those obligations. The use of swap agreements could cause the Fund to be more volatile, resulting in larger gains or losses in response to changes in the values of the securities underlying the swap agreements than if the Fund had made direct investments. Use of leverage involves special risks and is speculative. If the Investment Adviser is incorrect in evaluating long and short exposures, leverage will magnify any losses, and such losses may be significant. By using swap agreements, the Fund is exposed to liquidity risks since it may not be able to settle a swap agreement immediately, particularly during times of market turmoil. It may also be difficult to value a swap agreement if the Fund has difficulty in closing the position. Although the Fund intends to settle swap agreements so that net gains under swap agreements with a single counterparty do not exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets at any given time, it may have difficulty doing so in a timely manner and could, as a result, incur losses that otherwise might have been avoided. The Fund currently expects to settle swap agreements at least monthly, which will cause the Fund to realize ordinary income and short-term capital gains, if any, throughout the year that, when distributed to its shareholders, will be taxable to them as ordinary income rather than at lower long-term capital gains rates. Other Risks. See “Investment Risks” beginning on page 33 for more information about the risks associated with the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund may be an appropriate investment if you: Are seeking to diversify your investments to include an allocation to the “alternatives” asset class designed to have low or no correlation to the World Index. Are seeking long-term growth of capital with low or no correlation to the World Index. Are seeking to diversify a portfolio of equity securities to include exposure to foreign securities, as well as U.S. securities, and can tolerate risks associated with foreign investing, including currency risks, and total return equity swaps. Are willing to accept the risk that the value of your investment may decline in order to seek long-term growth of capital. Can tolerate the risks of substantial leverage, which will magnify gains and losses. Can tolerate paying higher ordinary income rates on any ordinary income or short-term capital gains realized by the Fund.

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then 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. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Example Causeway International Opportunities Fund (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Institutional Class	120	644	1,195	2,699
Investor Class	146	714	1,308	2,920

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 5% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies and Risks

What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?

The Fund is a fund of funds that invests in underlying funds that invest in both developed markets, excluding the United States, and emerging markets. The Investment Adviser allocates substantially all of the Fund’s assets between the International Value Fund and the Emerging Markets Fund using a proprietary asset allocation model. These Funds are also advised by the Investment Adviser and their strategies are summarized below.

International Value Fund: The International Value Fund invests primarily in common stocks of companies located in developed countries outside the U.S. Normally, the International Value Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in stocks of companies located in at least ten foreign countries and invests the majority of its total assets in companies that pay dividends or repurchase their shares. There is no limit on investments in any one country. The International Value Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in companies in emerging (less developed) markets.

When investing the International Value Fund’s assets, the Investment Adviser follows a value style. This means that the Investment Adviser buys stocks that it believes have a lower price than their true worth. For example, stocks may be “undervalued” because the issuing companies are part of industries that are currently out of favor with investors. However, even in those industries, certain companies may have high rates of growth of earnings and be financially sound.

Emerging Markets Fund: The Emerging Markets Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities of companies located in emerging (less developed) markets and other investments that are tied economically to emerging markets. For these purposes, the Investment Adviser considers eligible investments generally to include common stock, American Depositary Receipts, European Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts and ETFs.

The Investment Adviser uses a quantitative investment approach to purchase and sell investments for the Emerging Markets Fund. The Investment Adviser’s proprietary computer model analyzes a variety of fundamental, technical and macroeconomic characteristics to assist in selecting securities. The model currently analyzes characteristics of individual securities, such as valuation, earnings growth, and momentum, and to a lesser extent characteristics of countries and sectors.

The Emerging Markets Fund invests in ten or more emerging markets, and the percentage of the Emerging Markets Fund’s total assets attributable to any one country is not expected to be greater than the weight of that country in the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index (the “MSCI EM Index”) plus 3 percentage points (increasing to 5 percentage points as of April 1, 2013), or less than the weight of that country in the MSCI EM Index minus 3 percentage points (increasing to 5 percentage points as of April 1, 2013), if above 0%. In addition, at the discretion of the Investment Adviser, the Emerging Markets Fund may invest in the aggregate up to 10% of total Fund assets in emerging markets not included in the MSCI EM Index. The Emerging Markets Fund generally invests in companies with market capitalizations of US$500 million or greater at the time of investment and may invest in a wide range of industries.

Asset Allocation Methodology: The Investment Adviser uses quantitative signals from systems developed and managed by its quantitative portfolio managers and qualitative input from its fundamental portfolio managers to determine the allocation of assets between the International Value Fund and the Emerging Markets Fund. Quantitative signals are generated by a proprietary asset allocation model designed by the quantitative portfolio managers to indicate when allocations to emerging markets should increase or decrease relative to the Fund’s benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World Index ex U.S. (“ACWI ex U.S. Index”). The model currently analyzes characteristics in four categories: valuation, earnings growth, financial strength, and macroeconomic. The Investment Adviser’s fundamental portfolio managers evaluate these quantitative signals in light of fundamental analysis and the portfolio managers, as a team, determine the allocation between the International Value Fund and the Emerging Markets Fund. The allocation is reassessed by the quantitative model daily and adjusted periodically when deemed appropriate by the investment team.

The percentage of the Fund’s total assets in the Emerging Markets Fund and other emerging markets investments, such as exchange-traded funds based on emerging markets indices (but not including any portion of the International Value Fund invested in emerging markets), is not expected to be greater than the weight of the emerging markets portion of the ACWI ex U.S. Index multiplied by two, and can be as low as zero. As of December 31, 2012, the emerging markets portion of the ACWI ex U.S. Index was 24.1%.

What are the main risks of investing in the Fund?

As with any mutual fund, the Fund’s value, and therefore the value of your Fund shares, may go down. This may occur because the value of the shares of the International Value Fund or the Emerging Markets Fund, and the particular stocks or stock markets in which they invest, are falling. Also, the Investment Adviser may select securities for the International Value Fund or the Emerging Markets Fund that underperform the stock market or other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. If the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, you may lose money. We cannot guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

The Investment Adviser will use a proprietary, quantitative, asset allocation model to determine allocations between developed and emerging markets and thus between the International Value Fund and the Emerging Markets Fund. This will subject the Fund to the risk of relative underperformance if emerging markets exposure is relatively high when emerging markets underperform developed markets or if emerging markets exposure is relatively low when emerging markets outperform developed markets. No assurance can be given that the Investment Adviser’s asset allocation decisions will be timed to avoid underperformance or losses. Further, the Investment Adviser charges the Emerging Markets Fund a higher management fee than the International Value Fund, which presents an incentive to the Investment Adviser to allocate assets to the Emerging Markets Fund.

You can invest directly in the International Value Fund and the Emerging Markets Fund. By investing in the International Value Fund and the Emerging Markets Fund indirectly through the International Opportunities Fund, you indirectly pay both your share of the International Opportunities Fund’s expenses and the expenses it pays as a shareholder of the underlying Funds. Therefore, investing in the International Opportunities Fund is more expensive than investing in the underlying Funds directly.

In addition, because both the International Value Fund and Emerging Markets Fund invest most of their assets in foreign securities, the Fund is subject to further risks. For example, the value of the Fund may be affected by social, political and economic developments and U.S. and foreign laws relating to foreign investment. Further, because the International Value Fund and Emerging Markets Fund invest in securities denominated in foreign currencies, their shares, and thus the Fund’s shares, may go down in value depending on foreign exchange rates. Other risks include trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; withholding or other taxes; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign securities less liquid, more volatile and harder to value than U.S. securities. These risks are higher for emerging markets investments, as the extent of economic development, political stability, market depth, infrastructure, capitalization and regulatory oversight in emerging markets can be less than in more developed foreign markets.

Value stocks, including those selected by the Investment Adviser for the International Value Fund, are subject to the risks that their intrinsic value may never be realized by the market and that their prices may go down. The International Value Fund’s value discipline sometimes prevents or limits investments in stocks that are in its benchmark index (the MSCI EAFE Index). Accordingly, the return of the Fund’s investment in the International Value Fund will not necessarily be similar to the return of the International Value Fund’s benchmark.

Data for emerging markets companies may be less available and/or less current than data for developed markets companies. The Investment Adviser uses quantitative techniques to generate investment decisions for the Emerging Markets Fund and its processes and stock selection can be adversely affected if it relies on erroneous or outdated data. In addition, securities selected using quantitative analysis can perform differently from the market as a whole as a result of the characteristics used in the analysis, the weight placed on each characteristic, and changes in the characteristic's historical trends. The characteristics used in quantitative analysis and the weight placed on those characteristics may not be predictive of a security’s value, and the effectiveness of the characteristics can change over time. These changes may not be reflected in the current quantitative model.

Some of the Emerging Markets Fund’s investments may be in smaller capitalization companies. The values of securities of smaller, less well-known companies can be more volatile than those of larger companies and can react differently to company, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. Smaller companies can have more limited product lines, markets, and financial resources, adding additional risk.

See “Investment Risks” beginning on page 33 for more information about the risks associated with the Fund.

An investment in the International Opportunities Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

The Fund may be an appropriate investment if you:

• Are seeking long-term growth of capital and can withstand the share price volatility of equity investing.

• Are seeking to diversify a portfolio of equity securities to include foreign securities, including emerging markets.

• Can tolerate the increased volatility and currency fluctuations associated with investments in foreign securities, including emerging markets.

• Are willing to accept the risk that the value of your investment may decline in order to seek long-term growth of capital.

Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies and Risks What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of companies in developed countries located outside the U.S. and of companies in the U.S. Normally, the Fund invests the majority of its total assets in companies that pay dividends or repurchase their shares. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in companies located in emerging (less developed) markets. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its total assets in companies located in a number of countries outside the U.S. The Fund is not required to allocate its investments in any set percentages in any particular countries. The Investment Adviser determines where a company is located, and thus whether a company is located outside the U.S. or in an emerging market, by referring to: its primary stock exchange listing; where it is registered, organized or incorporated; where its headquarters are located; its Morgan Stanley Capital International country classification; where it derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed; or where at least 50% of its assets are located. These categories are designed to identify investments that are tied economically to, and subject to the risks of, investing outside the U.S. When investing the Fund’s assets, the Investment Adviser follows a value style. This means that the Investment Adviser buys stocks that it believes have lower prices than their true worth. For example, stocks may be “undervalued” because the issuing companies are part of industries that are currently out of favor with investors. However, even in those industries, certain companies may have high rates of growth of earnings and be financially sound. The Investment Adviser considers each of the following value characteristics in purchasing or selling securities for the Fund: Low price-to-earnings ratio (stock price divided by earnings per share) relative to the sector High yield (percentage rate of return paid on a stock in dividends and share repurchases) relative to the market Low price-to-book value ratio (stock price divided by book value per share) relative to the market Low price-to-cash flow ratio (stock price divided by net income plus non-cash charges per share) relative to the market Financial strength Generally, price-to-earnings and yield are the most important factors.

Institutional Class	137	445	774	1,706
Investor Class	158	506	879	1,926

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 74% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies and Risks

What are the Fund’s principal investment strategies?

The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities of companies located in emerging (less developed) markets and other investments that are tied economically to emerging markets. For these purposes, the Investment Adviser considers eligible investments generally to include common stock, American Depositary Receipts, European Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”).

The Investment Adviser uses a quantitative investment approach to purchase and sell investments for the Fund. The Investment Adviser’s proprietary computer model analyzes a variety of fundamental, technical and macroeconomic characteristics to assist in selecting securities. The model currently analyzes characteristics of individual securities, such as valuation, earnings growth, and momentum, and to a lesser extent characteristics of countries and sectors.

The Fund invests in ten or more emerging markets, and the percentage of the Fund’s total assets attributable to any one country is not expected to be greater than the weight of that country in the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index (the “MSCI EM Index”) plus 3 percentage points (increasing to 5 percentage points as of April 1, 2013), or less than the weight of that country in the MSCI EM Index minus 3 percentage points (increasing to 5 percentage points as of April 1, 2013), if above 0%. For these purposes, emerging markets include, but are not limited to, countries included in the MSCI EM Index, which currently are: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Peru, the Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey. In addition, at the discretion of the Investment Adviser, the Fund may invest in the aggregate up to 10% of total Fund assets in emerging markets not included in the MSCI EM Index. The Investment Adviser determines where a company is located, and thus whether a company is located in an emerging market, by referring to: its primary stock exchange listing; where it is registered, organized or incorporated; where its headquarters are located; its Morgan Stanley Capital International country classification; where it derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed; or where at least 50% of its assets are located.

The Fund generally invests in companies with market capitalizations of US$500 million or greater at the time of investment and may invest in a wide range of industries.

What are the main risks of investing in the Fund?

As with any mutual fund, the Fund’s value, and therefore the value of your Fund shares, may go down. This may occur because the value of a particular stock or stock market in which the Fund invests is falling. Also, the Investment Adviser may select securities that underperform the stock market or other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. If the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, you may lose money. We cannot guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

The Fund’s investments in companies in emerging markets involve special risks not present in U.S. investments that can increase the chances that the Fund will lose money. For example, the value of the Fund’s securities may be affected by social, political and economic developments and U.S. and foreign laws relating to foreign investment. The extent of economic development, political stability, market depth, infrastructure, capitalization and regulatory oversight in emerging markets can be less than in more developed foreign markets. Further, because the Fund invests in securities denominated in foreign currencies, the Fund’s securities may go down in value depending on foreign exchange rates. Other risks include trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; withholding or other taxes; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make emerging markets securities less liquid, more volatile and harder to value than U.S. securities.

Data for emerging markets companies may be less available and/or less current than data for developed markets companies. The Investment Adviser will use quantitative techniques to generate investment decisions and its processes and stock selection can be adversely affected if it relies on erroneous or outdated data. In addition, securities selected using quantitative analysis can perform differently from the market as a whole as a result of the characteristics used in the analysis, the weight placed on each characteristic, and changes in the characteristic's historical trends. The characteristics used in quantitative analysis and the weight placed on those characteristics may not be predictive of a security’s value, and the effectiveness of the characteristics can change over time. These changes may not be reflected in the current quantitative model.

Some of the Fund’s investments may be in smaller capitalization companies. The values of securities of smaller, less well-known companies can be more volatile than those of larger companies and can react differently to company, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. Smaller companies can have more limited product lines, markets, and financial resources, adding additional risk.

See “Investment Risks” beginning on page 33 for more information about the risks associated with the Fund.

An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

The Fund may be an appropriate investment if you:

• Are seeking long-term growth of capital and can withstand the share price volatility of equity investing.

• Are seeking to diversify a portfolio of equity securities to include emerging markets securities.

• Can tolerate the increased volatility and currency fluctuations associated with investments in foreign securities, and especially emerging markets.

• Are willing to accept the risk that the value of your investment may decline in order to seek long-term growth of capital.
