Summary Prospectus

March 1, 2015

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 91.91% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategy

Fred Alger Management, Inc. believes companies undergoing Positive Dynamic Change offer the best investment opportunities. Positive Dynamic Change refers to companies realizing High Unit Volume Growth or companies undergoing Positive Lifecycle Change. High Unit Volume Growth companies are traditional growth companies experiencing, for example, significantly growing demand or market dominance. Positive Lifecycle Change companies are, for example, companies benefitting from regulatory change, a new product introduction or management change.

The Fund invests primarily in the stock of small, fast-growing companies that Fred Alger Management, Inc. believes offer innovative products, services or technologies to a rapidly-expanding marketplace. Although the Fund may invest without limit in companies of any size, the Fund focuses on companies that, at the time of purchase of the securities, have a total market capitalization not exceeding the highest market capitalization of companies included in the Russell 2500 Growth Index, as reported by the index as of the most recent quarter-end. This index is designed to track the performance of small and medium capitalization stocks. At December 31, 2014, the highest market capitalization of the companies in this index was $17.9 billion.

The Fund intends to invest a substantial portion of its assets in a small number of issuers, and may therefore concentrate its holdings in fewer business sectors or industries.

The Fund can leverage, that is, borrow money to buy additional securities. By borrowing money, the Fund has the potential to increase its returns if the increase in the value of the securities purchased exceeds the cost of borrowing, including interest paid on the money borrowed.

Principal Risks

As with any fund that invests in stocks, your investment will fluctuate in value, and the loss of your investment is a risk of investing. The Fund's price per share will fluctuate due to changes in the market prices of its investments. Also, the

Fund's investments may not grow as fast as the rate of inflation and stocks tend to be more volatile than some other investments you could make, such as bonds.

Prices of growth stocks tend to be higher in relation to their companies' earnings and may be more sensitive to market, political and economic developments than other stocks, making their prices more volatile. An investment in the Fund may be better suited to investors who seek long-term capital growth and can tolerate fluctuations in their investment's value.

The following risks also apply:

•  there may be greater risk in investing in companies with small or medium market capitalizations rather than larger, more established issuers owing to such factors as more limited product lines or financial resources or lack of management depth.

•  it may be difficult or impossible to liquidate a security position at a time and price acceptable to the Fund owing to the potentially less frequent trading of stocks of smaller market capitalization.

•  the Fund may have a more concentrated portfolio than other funds, so it may be more vulnerable to changes in the market value of a single issuer and may be more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a fund that has a more diversified portfolio.

•  the cost of borrowing money to leverage may exceed the returns for the securities purchased or the securities purchased may actually go down in value; thus the Fund's net asset value could decrease more quickly than if it had not borrowed.

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance

The following bar chart and the table beneath it 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 the indicated periods compare with those of an appropriate benchmark of market performance. Remember that the Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the future. Updated performance information is available on the Fund's website www.alger.com.

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

Average Annual Total Return as of December 31, 2014

	1 Year			5 Years			Since Inception
Class I (Inception 3/31/08)
Return Before Taxes		1.99	%		14.45	%		8.36	%
Return After Taxes on Distributions		-0.02	%		12.29	%		6.86	%
Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares		2.77	%		11.51	%		6.60	%
Russell 2500 Growth Index (reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes)		7.05	%		17.27	%		11.02	%

In the foregoing table, after-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates 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. The after-tax returns shown may not be relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. A "Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares" may sometimes be higher than the other two return figures; this happens where there is a capital loss on redemptions, giving rise to a tax benefit to the shareholder.
