In September 2006, the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In accordance with SFAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurement for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three board levels listed below:

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used as June 30, 2008 in valuing the Small Cap Fund’s investments carried at value:

In September 2006, the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In accordance with SFAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurement for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three board levels listed below:

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used as June 30, 2008 in valuing the Long Short Fund’s investments carried at value:

In September 2006, the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In accordance with SFAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurement for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three board levels listed below:

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used as June 30, 2008 in valuing the Emerging Markets Fund’s investments carried at value:

In September 2006, the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In accordance with SFAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurement for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. The inputs are summarized in the three board levels listed below:

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used as June 30, 2008 in valuing the Foreign Value Fund’s investments carried at value:
