The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then you redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return per year and that the Fund's operating expenses remained the same.

If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher.

A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs. 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 __% of the average value of its whole portfolio. Instructions. A.3.instructions.6 New Funds.

The micro-cap companies in which the Fund may invest include "early stage" micro-cap companies, which are companies that are in a relatively early stage of development with market capitalizations that are below $50 million. Micro-cap companies represent the smallest sector of public companies based on market capitalization. Normally, micro-cap companies are in their earliest stages of public development and may offer unique products, services or technologies or may serve special or rapidly expanding niches. The Fund's investment adviser uses a "bottom-up" approach of fundamental analysis to look for individual companies that the adviser believes offer significant potential for stock price appreciation. In addition, the adviser seeks to invest in companies with the following attributes: &#xB7; Have a high percentage of their shares owned by company management; &#xB7; Possess relatively low levels of long-term debt; &#xB7; Have a potential for above-average growth in revenues and/or earnings; and &#xB7; Possess reasonable valuations based on the ratios of price-to-sales, price-to-earnings, and price-to-book values. At times, the Fund's portfolio may contain the shares of unseasoned companies, companies that are undergoing corporate restructuring, initial public offerings, and companies believed to possess undervalued assets. Stocks are sold when company size expands beyond the point where they can no longer be considered to be small capitalization companies. In addition, stocks will be sold when their financial condition deteriorates to the point that, in the opinion of the Fund's investment adviser, the company's future growth prospects are impaired, when the adviser believes that valuation multiples such as price-to-sales ratio, price-to-earnings ratio, or price-to-book value ratio become extreme, or when the adviser believes that another stock has better investment potential. The Emerging Fund is intended for investors who are willing to withstand the risk of short-term price fluctuations in exchange for potential long-term capital appreciation.</pre>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringPrincipal investment strategies of the Fund.

This risk may increase during times of significant market volatility. The risks below could affect the value of your investment, and because of these risks the Fund is a suitable investment only for those investors who have long-term investment goals: &#xB7; Common Stocks: Common stocks occupy the most junior position in a company's capital structure. Although common stocks have a history of long-term growth in value, their prices fluctuate based on changes in a company's financial condition and on overall market and economic conditions. Therefore, the price of common stocks may decline for a number of reasons. The price declines may be steep, sudden and/or prolonged. &#xB7; Micro-Cap &amp; Small Capitalization Companies: Micro-cap and small capitalization companies typically have relatively lower revenues, limited product lines, lack of management depth, higher risk of insolvency and a smaller share of the market for their products or services than larger capitalization companies. Generally, the share prices of stocks of micro-cap and small capitalization companies are more volatile than those of larger capitalization companies. Thus, the Fund's share price may increase and decrease by a greater percentage than the share prices of funds that invest in the stocks of large capitalization companies. Also, the returns of micro-cap and small capitalization company stocks may vary, sometimes significantly, from the returns of the overall market. In addition, micro-cap and small capitalization company stocks tend to perform poorly during times of economic stress. Relative to large capitalization company stocks, the stocks of micro-cap and small capitalization companies are thinly traded, and purchases and sales may result in higher transactions costs. For these reasons, the Fund is a suitable investment for only that part of an investor's capital that can be exposed to above-average risk. &#xB7; Early Stage Companies: Early stage companies are subject to the same risks as micro-cap companies. In addition, they may not be profitable initially and there is no guarantee that they will become profitable or be able to obtain necessary financing. They may rely on untested business plans. Early stage companies may not be successful in developing markets for their products and services. They may remain an insignificant part of their industry. They may be illiquid or may not be publicly traded. Investments in early stage companies tend to be more volatile and somewhat more speculative than investments in more established companies. &#xB7; Market Risk: The Fund may be exposed to "market risk." Market risk is the risk that stocks may decline significantly in price over short or extended periods of time. Price changes may occur in the market as a whole, or they may occur in only a particular company, industry or sector of the market. &#xB7; Manager Risk: The Fund may lose money if the Fund's investment strategy does not achieve the Fund's objective or the Fund's investment adviser does not implement the strategy properly.</pre>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.
