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:

Class	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class A	$654	$977	$1,322	$2,295
Class C	391	892	1,518	3,204
Class I	148	459	792	1,735

You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:

Class	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class C	$291	$892	$1,518	$3,204

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 41% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund is a non-diversified fund that normally invests in a core position of 20-30 common stocks selected for their growth potential.

As a non-diversified fund with fewer securities than a diversified portfolio, there is greater risk in that each holding has a greater impact on performance, either positively or negatively.

Sentinel looks to invest in companies that are expected to grow as a result of the potential long-term return from their investment in research, development, capital spending and market expansion. In addition, Sentinel looks for companies that it perceives to be attractively valued relative to their future growth prospects, as well as to that of the market as a whole. Sentinel utilizes a blended "top-down" and "bottom-up" approach. In top-down analysis, focus is on such macroeconomic factors as inflation, interest and tax rates, currency and political climate. In bottom-up analysis, focus is on company-specific variables, such as competitive industry dynamics, market leadership, proprietary products and services, and management expertise, as well as on financial characteristics, such as returns on sales and equity, debt/equity ratios and earnings and cash flow growth.

The Fund may invest in any economic sector, and at times, it may emphasize one or more particular sectors. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in a single industry, and the Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in securities of foreign issuers, although only where the securities are trading in the U.S. or Canada and only where trading is denominated in U.S. or Canadian dollars.

Sentinel expects to sell Fund holdings when the fundamentals of a company are perceived to be deteriorating, the valuation of the underlying company relative to its future growth rate appears to have become excessive, or when more attractive alternative investments surface. Sentinel may also sell Fund holdings to meet redemptions.

Principal Investment Risks

You could lose money by investing in the Fund. The following is a summary description of the principal risks of investing in the Fund:

• General Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in foreign securities may be affected unfavorably by changes in currency rates or exchange control regulations, or political or social instability in the particular foreign country or region.
• Investment Style Risk. The Fund's primary investment style, "growth", "value", or "blend", may be out of favor at any particular time. The stocks of "growth" companies may be more sensitive to investor perceptions about company earnings and may be more volatile than the market in general. The stocks of "value" companies may be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.
• Non-Diversified Risk. The Fund is a non-diversified fund, meaning that it may hold fewer securities than a diversified portfolio and may take larger positions in individual securities. As a result, the Fund may be more affected by the performance of a particular security than a fund investing in a broader range of securities.
• Sector Risk. Investments in a particular sector may trail returns from other economic sectors.
• Stock Market and Selection Risk. The stock market may go down in value, and may go down sharply and unpredictably. The stocks selected by the portfolio manager may underperform the stock market or other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies.

Performance

The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks 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 compare with those of broad measures of market performance. The bar chart shows changes in the Fund's performance for Class A shares for each calendar year over a ten-year period. Sales charges are not reflected in the bar chart. If sales charges were reflected, returns would be less than those shown. However, the table includes, for share classes with a sales charge, the effect of the maximum sales charge, including any contingent deferred sales charge that would apply to a redemption at the end of the period. How the Fund performed in the past (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated information on the Fund's results can be obtained by visiting www.sentinelinvestments.com.

Performance for the Fund prior to March 17, 2006 is based on the performance of its predecessor, the Bramwell Focus Fund, which was offered without a sales charge, restated to reflect the sales charges of the Class A and Class C shares, respectively. Performance prior to March 17, 2006 does not reflect the higher Rule 12b-1 fees for Class A shares in effect on and after March 17, 2006. If it did, returns would be lower. Performance of Class C shares prior to March 17, 2006 (the inception date for the Class C shares) has been adjusted for the higher estimated expenses of those shares. Performance of the Class I shares from March 17, 2006 to August 27, 2007 (the inception date for the Class I shares) is based on the Fund’s Class A shares, restated to reflect that Class I shares are offered without a sales charge.

Inception: 1999 (the inception of the Fund's predecessor)

Annual Total Return for Class A Shares (%) as of December 31

 

During the ten-year period shown in the above bar chart, the highest return for a quarter was 14.20% (quarter ended December 31, 2001) and the lowest return for a quarter was -19.38% (quarter ended September 30, 2008).

Russell 1000® Growth Index (Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes)	16.71	3.75	0.02
Standard & Poor's 500 Index (Reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes)1	15.06	2.29	1.41

1   The Standard & Poor's 500 Index consists of 500 widely held U.S. equity securities chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. The Fund compares its performance to this index because Fund management believes it is an appropriate alternative measure of the Fund's investment strategy

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest applicable individual federal marginal income tax rates in effect during the relevant period and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are shown only for Class A shares and after-tax returns for other classes of shares will vary.
