1   The percentages shown have been restated and are based on anticipated expenses for the entire fiscal year ending July 31, 2009. However, the rate at which expenses are accrued during the fiscal year may not be constant and, at any particular point, may be greater or less than the stated average percentage.   Although not contractually obligated to do so, the Adviser and administrator expect to waive certain amounts.  Additionally, the shareholder services provider expects not to charge a portion of its fee for the Fund’s Institutional Capital Shares.  These are shown below along with the net expenses the Fund’s Institutional Capital Shares expects to pay for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2009.
Total Anticipated Waivers and Reduction of Fund Expenses
  
0.27%
    
Total Anticipated Direct and Acquired Annual Fund Operating Expenses (after anticipated waivers  and reduction)
  
0.32%
    
2   The Adviser expects to voluntarily waive a portion of the management fee. The Adviser can terminate this anticipated voluntary waiver at any time. The management fee paid by the Fund (after the anticipated voluntary waiver) is expected to be 0.08% for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2009. The management fee paid by the Fund (after voluntary waiver) was 0.09% for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008.
3   Includes a shareholder services fee/account administration fee which is used to compensate intermediaries for shareholder services or account administrative services. Also includes a recordkeeping fee which is used to compensate intermediaries for recordkeeping services.  Please see “Payments to Financial Intermediaries” herein.  The administrator expects to voluntarily waive a portion of its fee.  The administrator can terminate this anticipated voluntary waiver at any time.  Additionally, the shareholder services provider expects not to charge, and therefore the Fund’s Institutional Capital Shares will not accrue, a portion of its fee. This anticipated reduction can be terminated at any time.  Total other expenses paid by the Fund’s Institutional Capital Shares (after the anticipated voluntary waiver and reduction) are expected to be 0.23% for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2009. Total other expenses paid by the Fund’s Institutional Capital Shares (after voluntary waiver, reimbursement and reduction) were 0.18% for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008.
4  The Fund’s shareholders indirectly bear the expenses of the acquired funds in which the Fund invests.  The Fund’s estimated indirect expense from investing in the acquired funds is based upon the average allocation of the Fund’s investment in the acquired funds and upon the anticipated total operating expenses of the acquired funds from their most recent shareholder reports (including any current  waivers) for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2009.  Actual acquired fund expenses incurred by the Fund may vary with changes in the allocation of the Fund’s assets among the acquired funds and with other events that directly affect the expenses of the acquired funds.
5  Total Actual Annual Fund Operating Expenses paid by the Fund’s Institutional Capital Shares (after voluntary waivers, reimbursement and reduction and excluding “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses”) were 0.27% for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008.
 

 
EXAMPLE
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund’s Institutional Capital Shares with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
 
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund’s Institutional Capital Shares for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s Institutional Capital Shares operating expenses are before anticipated waivers and reduction as shown in the table and remain the same. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
 
1 Year
  
$60
3 Years
  
$189
5 Years
  
$329
10 Years
