The Advisor considers, among other factors: o businesses that are believed to be fundamentally sound and undervalued due to investor indifference, investor misperception of company prospects, or other factors. o various measures of valuation, including price-to-cash flow, price-to- earnings, price-to-sales, and price-to-book value. The Advisor believes that companies with lower valuations are generally more likely to provide opportunities for capital appreciation. o a company's current operating margins relative to its historic range and future potential. o potential indicators of stock price appreciation, such as anticipated earnings growth, company restructuring, changes in management, business model changes, new product opportunities, or anticipated improvements in macroeconomic factors. The Advisor may sell a security when the Advisor determines the security is no longer undervalued; if the Advisor believes that there is deterioration in the issuer's financial circumstances or fundamental prospects, or that other investments are more attractive; or for other reasons. Alfred F. Alley, III, CFA is no longer a co-manager of the Fund. Accordingly, all references in the Fund's Prospectuses and Statement of Additional Information to Alfred F. Alley, III, CFA are removed. INT-47/155833-0808 September 3, 2008 -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
