EXAMPLE

Expense Example, Narrative

rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund's Class N and Class I shares to the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund's Class N and Class I shares 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 operating expenses of the Fund's Class N and Class I shares remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover, Heading

rr_PortfolioTurnoverHeading

Portfolio Turnover

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 above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 18% of the average value of its portfolio.

Investment Strategy, Heading

rr_StrategyHeading

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Investment Strategy, Narrative

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

Under normal circumstances at least 80% of the net assets of the Fund, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, are invested in equity securities of companies in the developed markets of the world, excluding the United States. Developed markets are those markets included in the Morgan Stanley Capital International — Europe, Australasia, and Far East Index (“MSCI-EAFE”) and Canada. The Fund will invest its assets in companies that are economically tied to at least twelve countries from different geographic regions throughout the world. The Fund may also from time to time invest up to 15% of its assets, at the time of purchase, in emerging markets of the world.

The Fund employs a “manager of managers” approach whereby portions of the Fund are allocated to different investment sub-advisers who employ investment styles broadly aligned with the investment adviser's principles of equity investing. The Fund currently uses one sub-adviser that employs a growth style and one that employs a value style. However, the investment adviser may also manage a portion the Fund's assets according to the Fund's principal investment strategies.

The Fund buys and sells securities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Interest, dividends and sale proceeds on such securities are received in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Fund enters into foreign currency exchange transactions from time to time to convert to and from different foreign currencies and to convert foreign currencies to and from the U.S. dollar. The Fund may purchase currency forwards for the purpose of hedging the value of securities purchased or intended to be purchased.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF THE FUND

Risk, Narrative

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

The principal risks of investing in the Fund and the circumstances reasonably likely to adversely affect an investment are listed in alphabetical order and described below. The share price of the Fund changes daily, based on market conditions and other factors. A shareholder may lose money by investing in the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

Capital Controls Risk:

Capital controls imposed by foreign governments in response to economic or political events may impact the ability of the Fund to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities or currency, may adversely affect the trading market and price for shares of the Fund, and may cause the Fund to decline in value.

Currency Exchange Rate Risk:

Because the Fund invests in securities denominated in, or providing exposure to, non-U.S. currencies and the Fund's net asset value per share (“NAV”) is determined on the basis of U.S. dollars, the U.S. dollar value of your investment in the Fund may go down if the value of the local currency of the non-U.S. markets in which the Fund invests depreciates against the U.S. dollar. Currency exchange rates can be very volatile and can change quickly and unpredictably.

Emerging Markets Risk:

Emerging markets involve risks greater than those generally associated with investing in more developed foreign markets. These less developed markets can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

Equity Securities Risk:

Equity securities risk is the risk that prices of equity securities rise and fall daily due to factors affecting individual companies, particular industries or the equity market as a whole.

Foreign Investment Risk:

Investing in securities of foreign-based companies involves risks not typically associated with investing in securities of companies organized and operated in the United States. These risks include adverse political, social and economic developments abroad, different kinds and levels of market and issuer regulations, and the different characteristics of overseas economies and markets. These factors can make foreign investments more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments.

Investment Risk:

Investors in the Fund could lose money, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount of an investment, over short or even long periods of time.

Management Risk:

The Fund is actively managed and its success depends upon the investment skills and analytical abilities of the sub-advisers to develop and effectively implement strategies that achieve the Fund's investment objective. Subjective decisions made by the sub-advisers may cause the Fund to incur losses or to miss profit opportunities on which it may otherwise have capitalized.

Market Risk:

The price of a security may fall due to changing economic, political, regulatory or market conditions, or due to a company's or issuer's individual situation.

Multi-Manager Risk:

The investment styles of the Fund's sub-advisers may not complement each other as expected by the investment adviser. The Fund's exposure to a particular stock, industry, country, geographic region or technique could be greater or smaller than if the Fund had a single investment adviser.

Non-Diversification Risk:

A non-diversified fund may be subject to greater risk than a diversified fund because changes in the financial condition of individual issuers, as well as political, regulatory or economic occurrences affecting such issuers may cause greater fluctuation in the value of a non-diversified fund's shares.

Shareholder Concentration Risk:

Asset allocation decisions, particularly large redemptions, made by an investment adviser whose discretionary clients make up a large percentage of the Fund's shareholders may adversely impact remaining Fund shareholders.

FUND PERFORMANCE

Performance, Narrative
