The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then you redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return per year and that the Fund's operating expenses remained the same.

If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher. 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 may indicate higher transaction costs. 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 __% of the average value of its whole portfolio. Instructions. A.3.instructions.6 New Funds.

The primary factors that may reduce the Fund's returns include:</p><br /> <ul> <li><b>Stock Market Risks.</b> The value of equity securities in the Fund's portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund's Share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time. <br /><br /></li> <li><b>Risks of Foreign Investing.</b> Because the Fund invests in securities issued by foreign companies, the Fund's Share price may be more affected by foreign economic and political conditions, taxation policies and accounting and auditing standards than would otherwise be the case. <br /><br /></li> <li><b>Risks of Investing in ADRs and Domestically Traded Securities of Foreign Issuers.</b> Because the Fund may invest in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and other domestically traded securities of foreign companies, the Fund's Share price may be more affected by the risks of foreign investing. <br /><br /></li> <li><b>Currency Risks.</b> Exchange rates for currencies fluctuate daily. Accordingly, the Fund may experience increased volatility with respect to the value of its Shares and its returns as a result of its exposure to foreign currencies through direct holdings of such currencies or holding of non-U.S. dollar denominated securities. <br /><br /></li> <li><b>Emerging Markets Risks.</b> Securities issued or traded in emerging markets generally entail greater risks than securities issued or traded in developed markets. Emerging market countries may have relatively unstable governments and may present the risk of nationalization of businesses, expropriation, confiscatory taxation or, in certain instances, reversion to closed market, centrally planned economies. <br /><br /></li> <li><b>Liquidity Risks.</b> The securities in which the Fund invests may be less readily marketable and may be subject to greater fluctuation in price than other securities. <br /><br /></li> <li><b>Small Company Risks.</b> Because the smaller companies in which the Fund may invest may have unproven track records, a limited product or service base and limited access to capital, they may be more likely to fail than larger companies. <br /><br /></li> <li><b>Medium-Sized Companies Risks. </b>The Fund may invest in mid-size companies. Mid-capitalization companies often have narrower markets and limited managerial and financial resources compared to larger, more established companies. <br /><br /></li> <li><b>Sector Risks. </b>Companies with similar characteristics may be grouped together in broad categories called sectors. Sector risk is the possibility that a certain sector may underperform other sectors or the market as a whole. As the Adviser allocates more of the Fund's portfolio holdings to a particular sector, the Fund's performance will be more susceptible to any economic, business or other developments which generally affect that sector. <br /><br /></li> <li><b>Risks of Investing in Derivative Contracts and Hybrid Instruments.</b> Derivative contracts and hybrid instruments involve risks different from, or possibly greater than, risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Specific risk issues related to the use of such contracts and instruments include valuation and tax issues, increased potential for losses and/or costs to the Fund and a potential reduction in gains to the Fund. Each of these issues is described in greater detail in this Prospectus. Derivative contracts and hybrid instruments may also involve other risks described in this Prospectus or the Fund's Statement of Additional Information (SAI), such as stock market, credit, currency, liquidity and leverage risks. <br /><br /></li> <li><b>Credit Risks.</b> Includes the possibility that a party to a transaction (such as a derivative transaction) involving the Fund will fail to meet its obligations. <br /><br /></li> <li><b>Leverage Risks.</b> Leverage risk is created when an investment (such as a derivative transaction) exposes the Fund to a level of risk that exceeds the amount invested. Changes in the value of such an investment magnify the Fund's risk of loss and potential for gain. <br /><br /></li> <li><b>Custodial Services and Related Investment Costs.</b> Custodial services and other costs relating to investment in international securities markets generally are more expensive due to differing settlement and clearance procedures than those of the United States. In addition, security settlement and clearance procedures in some emerging market countries may not fully protect the Fund against loss of its assets. <br /><br /></li> <li><b>Exchange-Traded Funds Risks.</b> An investment in an ETF generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a conventional fund (i.e., one that is not exchange traded). Investing in an ETF may incur additional fees and/or expenses which would, therefore, be borne indirectly by the Fund in connection with any such investment. <br /></li></ul> <p><font class="_mt">The Shares offered by this Prospectus are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency</font>.</p></div> </div>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

For a Fund that provides annual total returns for only one calendar year or for a Fund that does not include the bar chart because it does not have annual returns for a full calendar year, modify, as appropriate, the narrative explanation required by paragraph (c)(2)(i) (e.g., by stating that the information gives some indication of the risks of an investment in the Fund by comparing the Fund's
