Emerging Markets 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 Emerging Markets Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, Emerging Markets Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 35 percent of the average value of its portfolio.

Investment Strategy, Narrative

Under normal market conditions, Emerging Markets Fund invests at least 80 percent of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities, including depository receipts, warrants and rights, of emerging markets issuers, that is, an issuer having a country classification assigned by MSCI, Inc. from a country included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (“MSCI EM”). Emerging Markets Fund generally invests in at least eight countries and three or more broad geographic regions, such as Latin America, Asia or Europe. Emerging Markets Fund may invest more than 25 percent of its assets in a particular region, but may not invest more than a percentage of its assets in a single country equal to 10 percent plus the percentage of the country weight for that country in the MSCI EM. Emerging Markets Fund may invest in companies of any capitalization.

To manage Emerging Markets Fund's assets, the fund allocates its assets between two proprietary strategies: an alpha modeling strategy and a risk-parity strategy. The alpha modeling strategy integrates a variety of measures including firm-specific, sector-specific and region-specific factors using a quantitative framework to build custom-tailored alpha models for a universe of emerging markets securities. The risk-parity strategy deploys a proprietary portfolio construction process in an attempt to balance risk across the countries, sectors and issuers represented in the MSCI EM. The sub-adviser seeks to identify the contribution to a portfolio's risk from exposures to various countries, sectors, and issuers then attempts to balance risk across these dimensions to improve diversification, rather than rely on the securities' market weights reflected in the MSCI EM. The Emerging Markets Fund currently invests in Pear Tree PanAgora Risk Parity Emerging Markets Fund to achieve its risk-parity exposure.

In addition to emerging markets securities, Emerging Markets Fund also may invest in forward foreign currency exchange contracts as well as other types of derivatives (i.e., a security or instrument whose value is determined by reference to the value or the change in value of one or more securities, currencies, indices or other financial instruments) for cash-equitization purposes (e.g., for management of temporary cash positions). Emerging Markets Fund also may lend its securities. Emerging Markets Fund may hold cash, or it may manage its cash by investing in cash equivalents and money market funds.

Principal Investment Risks

Risk, Narrative

It is possible to lose money by investing in Emerging Markets Fund. An investment in Emerging Markets 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.

Market, Industry and Specific Holdings. The share price of Emerging Markets Fund may fall because of weakness in the stock markets, generally, weaknesses with respect to a particular industry in which Emerging Markets Fund has significant holdings, or weaknesses associated with one or more specific companies in which Emerging Markets Fund may have substantial investments. In addition, to the extent Emerging Markets Fund invests in the risk-parity model, the fund is unlikely to benefit from market momentum preceding a market correction.

Foreign Investing. Emerging Markets Fund's investments in foreign securities (including ADRs) may be adversely affected by political and economic conditions overseas, reduced liquidity, or decreases in foreign currency values relating to the U.S. dollar. These risks are especially acute for emerging markets securities. Emerging Markets Fund from time to time also may have assets concentrated in a specific geographic region and/or an individual country depending on the country weights of the MSCI EM, thus exposing Emerging Markets Fund to the specific risks of that region or country.

Emerging Markets Risk. The risks of foreign investing are heightened for securities of issuers in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to have economic structures that are less diverse and mature, political systems that are less stable, are more susceptible to governmental interference, and less liquid and efficient trading markets than those of developed countries.

Liquidity Risk. Emerging Markets Fund may not be able to sell some or all of its securities at desired prices or may be unable to sell the securities at all.

Active Management Risk. The sub-adviser's judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of Emerging Markets Fund's investments may prove to be incorrect.

Investments in Another Mutual Fund. To the extent that Emerging Markets Fund invests in another mutual fund, its investment performance would be directly related to the investment performance of the other fund. It also would bear its proportionate share of any management and other fees paid by the other mutual fund, subjecting Emerging Markets Fund shareholders to some duplication of fees.

Large- and Mid-Capitalization Securities. Securities issued by large- and mid-cap companies tend to be less volatile than securities issued by smaller companies. Larger companies, however, may not be able to attain the high growth rates of successful smaller companies, especially during strong economic periods, and may be unable to respond as quickly to competitive challenges.

Small- and Micro-Capitalization Securities. Investments in small- and micro-capitalization companies typically present greater risks than investments in larger companies and, as a result, 2 the performance of Emerging Markets Fund may be more volatile than a fund that invests only in large- and mid-cap stocks.

Growth and Value Stock Investing. Different investment styles periodically come into and fall out of favor with investors. Growth stocks generally are more volatile than the overall stock market. Value stocks generally carry the risk that the market will not recognize their intrinsic value or that they are actually appropriately priced at a low level.

Sector. Emerging Markets Fund may have significant investments in one or more specific industry sectors, subjecting it to risks greater than general market risk.

Securities Lending. Securities lending involves two primary risks: investment risk and borrower default risk. Investment risk is the risk that Emerging Markets Fund will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that Emerging Markets Fund will lose money due to the failure of a borrower to return a borrowed security in a timely manner.

Derivatives. Emerging Markets Fund's investments in currency futures and other derivative instruments are subject to a number of risks, such as counterparty risk, the risk of mispricing or improper valuation, and the risk that the value of the instrument may not increase or decrease as expected.
