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. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the table through 3/1/12 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

 

IF YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR COST WOULD BE:  
     1 Year     3 Years  
CLASS A SHARES ($)     646        987   
CLASS C SHARES ($)     278        641   
SELECT CLASS SHARES ($)     102        410   

 

IF YOU DO NOT SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR COST
WOULD BE:
 
     1 Year     3 Years  
CLASS A SHARES ($)     646        987

SELECT CLASS SHARES ($)     102        410   

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.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets in equity securities. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. Generally, the Fund intends to focus its investments in dividend yielding equity securities. The Fund may invest in securities of issuers located anywhere in the world and may invest any amount of its assets in emerging markets. Under normal circumstances, the Fund intends to invest at least 40% of its total assets in countries other than the United States.

The Fund is not constrained by capitalization limits. At times, the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in medium and smaller capitalization companies. The equity securities in which the Fund may invest include, but are not limited

to, common stock, preferred stock, American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), American Depositary Shares (ADS), convertible securities and warrants and rights.

The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its Assets in equity or debt securities of any type of foreign or U.S. issuer.

The Fund may utilize currency forwards to reduce currency deviations, where practical, for the purpose of risk management. The Fund may also use exchange-traded futures for the efficient management of cash flows.

The Fund may invest in securities denominated in any currency. The Fund may from time to time hedge a portion of its foreign currency exposure using derivatives as noted above.

Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the adviser will seek to diversify the Fund’s portfolio by investing in issuers in at least three different countries other than the United States. However, the Fund may invest a substantial part of its assets in just one country.

The Fund’s portfolio is constructed predominantly through fundamental research and bottom-up stock selection. Generally, the Fund focuses on those dividend-yielding equity securities that the adviser believes are undervalued and possess the potential for long-term earnings power and strong cash flow generation. The adviser believes that, generally, strong cash flows enable a company to maintain and/or increase sustainable dividends. In addition, the adviser may focus on key characteristics such as dividend yield, price to book ratio, price to earnings ratio and free cash flow yield. In selecting investments for the Fund, the adviser generally seeks to avoid securities that present unsustainable dividends or declining long-term returns.

The adviser may sell a security if it believes that it no longer exhibits strong cash flow generation capabilities or that it cannot continue to support or increase the Fund’s income yield.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met.

 

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.

Geographic Focus Risk. The Fund may focus its investments in a region or small group of countries. As a result, the Fund’s performance may be subject to greater volatility than a more geographically diversified fund.

Foreign Securities and Emerging Market Risks. Investments in foreign issuers are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. These risks are magnified in “emerging markets.”

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Many derivatives create leverage thereby causing the Fund to be more volatile than it would be if it had not used derivatives. Derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations), including credit risk of the derivative counterparty.

Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund’s securities and the price of the Fund’s shares. Generally, when the value of the U.S. dollar rises in value relative to a foreign currency, an investment in that country loses value because that currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also may have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets.

To the extent that the Fund hedges its currency exposure into the U.S. dollar, it may reduce the effects of currency fluctuations. The Fund may also hedge from one foreign currency to another. However, the Fund does not typically use this strategy for its currency exposure.

Smaller Cap Company Risk. Investments in securities of smaller companies may be riskier and more volatile and vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than securities of larger, more established companies. As a result, share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term.

Credit Risk. Certain investments are subject to the risk that the issuer or a counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default completely. If an issuer’s financial condition worsens, the credit quality of the issuer may deteriorate making it difficult for the Fund to sell such investments.

Income Risk. The Fund’s ability to distribute income to shareholders will depend on the yield available on the securities held by the Fund. Changes in the dividend policies of issuers held by the Fund could make it difficult for the Fund to provide a predictable level of income.

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent, occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices for the securities sold, or when the securities the Fund wishes to or is required to sell are illiquid.

 

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

You could lose money investing in the Fund.

The Fund’s Past Performance

The Fund has not commenced operations as of the date of this prospectus and therefore, has no reportable performance history. Although past performance of the Fund is no guarantee of how it will perform in the future, historical performance may give you some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the financial intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services.

Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
