PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

The Fund pays transactions 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 in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 27.93% of the average value of the portfolio.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing, under normal market conditions, at least 90% of its net assets in common stocks of companies domiciled outside the United States.

In selecting investments for the Fund, the Adviser begins by selecting countries or regions in which to invest. In making its selections, the Adviser considers several factors affecting the economy and equity market of foreign countries and regions, including:

• economic trends,

• earnings outlook,

• liquidity within the market,

• fiscal and monetary policy,

• currency exchange rate expectations,

• market sentiment, and

• social and political trends.

After the country and regional allocations are determined, the Adviser seeks industries and sectors that it believes have earnings growth prospects that are greater than the average. Within the selected industries and sectors, the Adviser invests in foreign growth-oriented companies it believes exhibit the potential for superior growth. The Adviser believes that a company's earnings growth is the primary determinant of its potential long-term return and evaluates a company's potential for above average long-term earnings and revenue growth.

Several factors are considered in the Adviser's evaluation of a company, including:

• unique product or service,

• growing product demand,

• dominant and growing market share,

• management experience and capabilities, and

• strong financial condition.

When selling equity securities for the Fund, the Adviser considers several factors, including changes in a company's fundamentals and anticipated earnings.

The Fund invests in common stocks of issuers domiciled in at least three foreign countries. As of September 30, 2013, the Fund was invested in common stocks of companies domiciled in 21 foreign countries. Up to 50% of the Fund's total assets may be invested in equity securities of small-to medium-sized emerging growth companies in developed markets (such as Germany and Japan) and developing markets (such as Thailand and Brazil). Small companies generally have a capitalization of under $3.0 billion, and medium-sized companies generally have capitalizations between $2 and $15 billion. Emerging growth companies are small-and medium-sized companies that the Adviser believes have a potential for earnings growth over time that is above the growth rate of more established companies or are early in their life cycles.

The Fund may invest in securities representing underlying international securities such as sponsored American Depository Receipts, European Depository Receipts and Global Depository Receipts.

In order to hedge against adverse movements in currency exchange rates, the Fund may from time to time enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

• Developing Markets Risk: Investment in developing markets are subject to unique political, economic, and market risks that can cause the Fund's investments to be more volatile and less liquid than investments in developed markets.

• Foreign Currency Hedging Transactions Risk: If the Adviser's forecast of exchange rate movements is incorrect, the Fund may realize losses on their foreign currency transactions. In addition, the Fund's hedging transactions may prevent the Funds from realizing the benefits of a favorable change in the value of foreign currencies.

• Growth Style Investing Risk: Different types of stocks tend to shift into and out of favor with stock market investors depending on market and economic conditions. The Fund invests in growth style stocks. The Fund's performance may at times be better or worse than the performance of funds that focus on other types of stocks or that have a broader investment style.

• International Investing Risk: International investing involves risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities which may adversely affect the Fund's investment. These risks include currency risk, foreign securities market risk, foreign tax risk, information risk, investment restriction risk, and political and economic risks.

• Management Risk: A strategy used by the investment management team may not produce the intended results.

• Market Risk: The market value of securities may fall or fail to rise. Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, or the market as a whole. The market value of securities may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.

• Mid Cap Stock Risk: Stocks of mid cap stocks may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than stocks of larger, more established companies.

• Small Cap Stock Risk: Stocks of smaller companies involve substantial risk. Prices of small cap stocks may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than stocks of larger, more established companies. Additionally, for certain small cap stocks, there may also be limited liquidity, or trading opportunities at a favorable price or time.
