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:

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 of the Fund
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities. In complying with the 80% investment requirement, the Fund may include synthetic instruments that have economic characteristics similar to the Fund's direct investments that are counted toward the 80% investment requirement. These derivatives and other investments may have the effect of leveraging the Fund's portfolio. The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, in issuers located in at least three different countries, including the U.S. The Fund emphasizes investment in issuers in the U.S. and in the developed countries of Western Europe and in the Pacific Basin. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its total assets in issuers located in developing countries, i.e., those that are in the initial stages of their industrial cycles. As of December 31, 2010, the principal countries in which the Fund was invested were the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, Canada, Sweden and Australia. The portfolio managers will consider selling or reducing a security position (i) if the forecasted return of a security becomes less attractive relative to industry peers or (ii) if a particular security's risk profile changes. The portfolio managers use quantitative, research based models to select potential investment securities. They then use proprietary and non-proprietary models to forecast risks and transaction costs. This information is used to structure the Fund's portfolio. When building the portfolio, the portfolio managers consider the securities of the MSCI World Index as well as securities that are not included in the MSCI World Index. They then apply a quantitative stock selection model to the securities to create a return/risk forecast prior to constructing the portfolio.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are: Currency/Exchange Rate Risk. The dollar value of the Fund's foreign investments will be affected by changes in the exchange rates between the dollar and the currencies in which those investments are traded. Developing Markets Securities Risk. Securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in developing countries may be affected more negatively by inflation, devaluation of their currencies, higher transaction costs, delays in settlement, adverse political developments, the introduction of capital controls, withholding taxes, nationalization of private assets, expropriation, social unrest, war or lack of timely information than those in developed countries. Foreign Securities Risk. The Fund's foreign investments may be affected by changes in a foreign country's exchange rates; political and social instability; changes in economic or taxation policies; difficulties when enforcing obligations; decreased liquidity; and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies. Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rates rise; conversely, bond prices generally rise as interest rates fall. Specific bonds differ in their sensitivity to changes in interest rates depending on their individual characteristics, including duration. Management Risk. The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund's portfolio managers may not produce the desired results. Market Risk. The prices of and the income generated by the Fund's securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment; general economic and market conditions; regional or global instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.
Performance Information
The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the Fund’s performance to that of a broad-based securities market/style specific benchmark and a peer group benchmark comprised of funds with investment objectives and strategies similar to those of the Fund. The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its future performance.
