In a footnote to the fee table, state that the table and Example reflect the expenses of both the Feeder and Master Funds. If the prospectus offers more than one Class of a Multiple Class Fund or more than one Feeder Fund that invests in the same Master Fund, provide a separate response for each Class or Feeder Fund. Base the percentages of "Annual Fund Operating Expenses" on amounts incurred during the Fund's most recent fiscal year, but include in expenses amounts that would have been incurred absent expense reimbursement or fee waiver arrangements. If the Fund has changed its fiscal year and, as a result, the most recent fiscal year is less than three months, use the fiscal year prior to the most recent fiscal year as the basis for determining "Annual Fund Operating Expenses."Reference 1: 1

If there were expense reimbursement or fee waiver arrangements that reduced any Fund operating expenses and will continue to reduce them for no less than one year from the effective date of the Fund's registration statement, a Fund may add two captions to the table one caption showing the amount of the expense reimbursement or fee waiver, and a second caption showing the Fund's net expenses after subtracting the fee reimbursement or expense waiver from the total fund operating expenses. The Fund should place these additional captions directly below the "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses" caption of the table and should use appropriate descriptive captions, such as "Fee Waiver [and/or Expense Reimbursement]" and "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver [and/or Expense Reimbursement]," respectively. If the Fund provides this disclosure, also disclose the period for which the expense reimbursement or fee waiver arrangement is expected to continue, and briefly describe who can terminate the arrangement and under what circumstances.Reference 1: 1

2The Adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse certain expenses of the Fund through February 29, 2012 (the "Expense Limitation"). Net operating expenses of the Fund, based on the average daily net assets are limited to 1.40% for Class A shares and 1.15% for Class I shares. Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are excluded from this calculation. This arrangement does not cover interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses. The Fund has agreed to repay the Adviser for expenses reimbursed to the Fund provided that repayment does not cause the Fund's annual operating expenses to exceed the Expense Limitation. Any such repayment must be made within three years after the year in which the Adviser incurred the expense.

The Adviser generally uses a top-down approach for investments in emerging markets, indices and exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) focusing on economic and geopolitical factors in a given area. The Adviser generally uses both a bottom-up and top-down approach in Japan.</p>
<p>• Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (including equity related futures, options, swaps and other instruments as well as borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of global issuers. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days notice prior to any changes in this policy.</p>
<p>• To achieve its investment goal the Fund may use derivatives to a substantial extent under certain market conditions. However, as of October 31, 2010, the Fund had 0.00% of its net assets in derivatives other than foreign exchange contracts. Please go to www.artioglobal.com/documents/factsheet_ge.pdf for more current information on the Fund’s investments in derivatives.</p>
<p>• Invests up to 35% of its net assets in emerging market securities. In an effort to maximize returns to investors, the Adviser, from time to time, manages the Fund very close to its limit in emerging markets. As of October 31, 2010, the Global Equity Fund had 24.19% of its net assets invested in emerging market securities. Please go to www.artioglobal.com/documents/factsheet_ge.pdf for a more current percentage of the Fund invested in emerging market securities.</p>
<p>• Ordinarily invests at least 40% of its total assets in no fewer than three different countries outside the U.S.</p>
<p>• Invests in securities denominated in foreign currencies as well as U.S. dollars.</p>
<p>• Invests in “growth” and “value” securities. Growth securities are those whose earnings are expected to grow at an above average rate relative to the market. Value securities appear undervalued and thus trade at a lower price relative to their fundamentals.</p>
<p>• The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective.</p>
<p>• May invest in precious metal-related instruments (such as gold, silver, platinum and palladium), including (i) the equity securities of companies that explore for, extract, process or deal in precious metals, and related options or warrants thereof, (ii) asset-based securities indexed to the value of such metals, such as ETFs, and related options thereof (iii) precious metal related structured notes, futures and options on futures, swaps, and (iv) commodity pools and other indirect investments in precious metals (collectively “precious metal-related instruments”). Investments in precious metal-related instruments may be purchased when they are believed to be attractively priced in relation to the value of a company’s precious metal-related assets or when values of precious metal-related instruments are expected to benefit from inflationary pressure or other economic, political or financial uncertainty or instability. From time to time the Fund may have significant exposure to gold. Gold is a commodity which has risen significantly over the past decade and historically has been a volatile investment and from time to time subject to government restrictions or prohibitions. Although the Fund is not permitted to make direct investments in gold bullion, it is permitted to invest in gold through the precious-metal related instruments listed above. The Fund may enter into these precious metal-related instruments directly or gain exposure to these instruments indirectly by investing in an offshore subsidiary of the Fund. To the extent precious metal-related instruments are held through an offshore subsidiary of the Fund, such subsidiary will not be subject to U.S. laws (including securities laws) and their protections. An offshore subsidiary is subject to the laws of a foreign jurisdiction, which can be affected by developments in that jurisdiction. The offshore subsidiary is subject to the same investment restrictions as the Fund.</p>
<p>• Invests in derivatives for hedging and non-hedging purposes. Derivatives are financial instruments the value of which is derived from another security, a commodity (such as gold or oil), an index or a currency (a measure of value or rates, such as the S&P 500 Index or the prime lending rate). The Fund typically uses derivatives as a substitute for taking a position in an underlying asset and/or as part of a strategy to reduce risk, such as interest rate risk, currency risk, and price risk. The Fund expects that derivative instruments will include, but are not limited to, futures contracts, forward contracts, non-deliverable forwards, options, options on futures, swaps, warrants, and structured notes. A forward contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. Forward contracts are the primary means of hedging currency exposure. A futures contract commits the parties to a transaction at a time in the future at a price determined when the transaction is initiated and generally trade through regulated exchanges and are “marked to market” daily both of which reduce liquidity risk. From time to time, the Fund’s investments in derivatives may be significant.</p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringPrincipal investment strategies of the Fund.

falsefalse18false0rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlockrrfalsenadurationNo definition available.falsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalse1falsefalsefalse00<p>Global securities markets and the world economy have been subject to significant volatility recently which has increased the risks associated with an investment in the Fund. Investments in the Fund carry a certain amount of risk and the Fund cannot guarantee that it will achieve its investment objective. You may lose money by investing in the Fund. Below are the principal risks of investing in the Fund: </p>
<p>• <b>Stock Market Risk: </b> The Fund will invest in equity securities that may lose value because of declines in the stock market and may be adversely affected by market conditions and factors related to a
particular company or industry. Companies in developing industries tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments. </p>
<p>• <b>Foreign Investment Risk: </b> The Fund will invest in foreign securities which may lose value because of fluctuations in currency exchange rates and market liquidity, price volatility, uncertain political and legal conditions, lack of reliable financial information and other factors. Foreign securities of certain countries are subject to political instability, which may result in potential revolts and the confiscation of assets by governments. As a result, the Fund’s returns and net asset value may be affected to a large degree by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions in a particular country or region. In the event of nationalization, expropriation or other confiscation or capital controls, the Fund could lose its entire investment in foreign securities. Adverse conditions in a certain region can adversely affect securities of other countries whose economies appear to be unrelated. To the extent that the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in a specific geographic region, the Fund will generally have more exposure to regional economic risks associated with foreign investments. </p>
<p>• <b>Emerging Market Risk: </b> The Fund’s investments in emerging market countries may involve risks greater than, or in addition to, the risks of investing in more developed countries. Emerging markets are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid, and more volatile than developed markets, and are subject to greater social, political and economic uncertainties, higher levels of inflation and currency devaluation and settlement and operational risks, including risks related to foreign securities custody. Countries of Central and Eastern Europe and former states of the Soviet Union, including Russia, are subject to greater risk of expropriation of private industry and a partial or total loss of an investment in such foreign securities. </p>
<p>• <b>Foreign Currency Transaction Risk: </b> As foreign securities are usually denominated in foreign currencies, the Fund may employ strategies intended to protect the Fund’s portfolio from adverse currency fluctuations. The Fund may also employ strategies intended to increase exposure to certain currencies. Such currency transactions involve additional risks, and the Fund’s strategies, if unsuccessful, may decrease the value of the Fund. </p>
<p>• <b>Regulatory Risk: </b> Foreign companies may not be registered with the SEC and are generally not subject to the regulatory controls imposed on United States issuers and, as a consequence, there is generally less
publicly available information about foreign securities than is available about domestic securities. Foreign companies may not be subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, corporate governance practices and requirements comparable to those applicable to domestic companies. Income from foreign securities owned by the Fund may be reduced by a withholding tax at the source, which tax would reduce dividend income payable to the Fund’s shareholders. </p>
<p>• <b>Derivatives Risk: </b> Derivatives can be highly volatile and involve risks in addition to the risks of the underlying investment, index or rate. Derivatives involve special risks including correlation, counterparty, liquidity, operational, accounting and tax risks. Investing in derivatives also requires a specific skill set and may result in losses. Derivatives may be illiquid, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes may produce disproportionate losses. Gains or losses from derivatives can be substantially greater than the derivatives’ original cost. Derivatives can be complex instruments and can involve analysis that differs from that required for other investment types used by the Fund. If the value of a derivative does not correlate well with the particular market or other asset class the derivative is intended to provide exposure to, the derivative may not have the anticipated effect. </p>
<p>Derivatives can also reduce the opportunity for gain or result in losses by offsetting positive returns in other investments. </p>
<p>The Fund may substantially increase its use of derivatives in response to unusual market conditions. </p>
<p>• <b>Precious Metals Risk: </b> The Fund’s investments in precious metals (<i>e.g.</i> gold, silver, platinum and palladium) and precious metal-related instruments can fluctuate due to monetary and political developments such as economic cycles, the devaluation of currency, changes in inflation or expectations about inflation in various countries, interest rates, metal sales by governments or other entities, government regulation including the possibility that the U.S. government could restrict or prohibit the ownership of gold, and resource availability and demand. Changes in the political climate for major precious metal producers such as China, Australia, South Africa, Russia, the United States, Peru and Canada may have a direct impact on worldwide precious metal prices. Based on historical experience, during periods of economic or fiscal instability precious metal-related instruments may be subject to extreme price fluctuations, reflecting the high volatility of precious metal prices during such periods. In addition, the
instability of precious metal prices may result in volatile earnings of precious metal-related companies, which may, in turn, adversely affect the financial condition of such companies. </p>
<p>From time to time the Fund may have significant exposure to gold. Although the Fund is not permitted to make direct investments in gold bullion, the Fund is permitted to invest in gold through the precious-metal related instruments listed above in the Fund’s Principal Investment Strategies. While gold has risen significantly over the past decade, gold prices have historically been volatile and from time to time susceptible to specific political and economic risks including changes in U.S. or foreign tax, currency or mining laws, increased environmental costs, international monetary and political policies, economic conditions within an individual country, trade imbalances, and trade or currency restrictions between countries. The price of gold, in turn, is likely to affect the market prices of securities of companies mining or processing gold, and accordingly, the value of a Fund’s investments in such securities may also be affected. Gold and other precious metal-related instruments as a group have not performed as well as the stock market in general during periods when the U.S. dollar is strong, inflation is low and general economic conditions are stable. In addition, returns on gold and other precious metal-related instruments have traditionally been more volatile than investments in broader equity or debt markets. </p>
<p>The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund formed in the Cayman Islands, which has the same investment objective as the Fund and has a strategy of investing in commodity-based futures, commodity-based over-the-counter (“OTC”) options, commodity-based options on futures, commodity-based exchanged traded funds (“ETFs”), OTC and exchange traded options on commodity-based ETFs, commodity-based total return swaps, commodity-based credit linked/participatory notes and warrants, commodity pools, and investments in precious metals. </p>
<p>Unlike securities which may generate income throughout the Fund’s holding period through dividends or other current payments, the Fund’s investment in precious metal-related instruments results in no income being derived from such investments during the holding period of such instruments. Investments in futures contracts and similar “derivative” instruments related to precious metals also carries additional risks, in that these types of instruments are (i) often more volatile than direct investments in the commodity underlying them,
because they commonly involve significant “built in” leverage, and (ii) subject to the risk of default by the counterparty to the contract. For example, a shortage in the supply of gold would have a material effect on the gold market and the market for gold-related instruments which could adversely affect the value of the Fund’s investments in gold-related instruments if, for example, as a result of the shortage there was insufficient gold to cover the underlying instruments resulting in a counterparty default. In addition, the taxable income derived from trading in precious metals and certain contracts and derivatives relating to precious metals may result in negative tax consequences. Finally, if, the Fund holds its precious metal investments in book account, such investments would subject the Fund to the credit risk of the party holding the precious metals. </p>
<p>In order to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) the Fund is limited in the amount of income that it may derive from certain sources, such as investments in many precious-metal related instruments, to 10% of gross income on an annual basis (See “Additional Information Concerning Taxes” in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information). The Fund has established a wholly-owned subsidiary in the Cayman Islands which is intended to provide the Fund with exposure to the precious metal-related commodity markets consistent with the limitations of Subchapter M of the Code. The Fund received a private letter ruling from the IRS which concludes that the income from the subsidiary, is qualifying income under Subchapter M of the Code. </p>
<p>The Adviser closely monitors the income derived from precious-metal related instruments in order to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M. Compliance with this provision of the Code may require the recognition of gains through the sale of securities and other investments not subject to the 10% gross income limitation. This would cause the Fund to recognize income earlier, or at less favorable tax rates, than might otherwise be the case. </p>
<p>The gold market is a global marketplace which trades both Over-the-Counter (“OTC”) and through various exchanges. The OTC market generally consists of transactions in spot, forward, options and other derivatives, while exchange-traded transactions consist of futures and options. </p>
<p>• <b>Leveraging Risk: </b> Certain transactions may give rise to a form of leverage. Such transactions may include, among others, loans of
securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions. The use of derivatives may also cause leveraging risk. </p>
<p>• <b>Liquidity Risk: </b> Particular investments may be difficult to purchase or sell. The Fund may make investments that may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions, which may reduce the returns of the Fund because it may be unable to sell the illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price. </p>
<p>• <b>Active Trading Risk: </b> The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective. If a Fund does trade this way, it may incur increased costs, which can lower the actual return of the Fund. Active trading may also increase short term gains and losses, which may affect taxes that must be paid. </p>
<p>• <b>Custody/Sub-Custody Risk: </b> The Fund may invest in markets where custodial and/or settlement systems are not fully developed. There may be very limited regulatory oversight of certain foreign banks or securities depositories that hold foreign securities and foreign currency. The laws of certain countries may limit the ability to recover such assets if a foreign bank or depository or their agents goes bankrupt and the assets of the Fund may be exposed to risk in circumstances where the custodian/sub-custodian or Adviser will have no liability. In addition, the inability of the Fund to make its intended securities purchases due to settlement issues with the custodian/sub-custodian could cause the Fund to miss attractive investment opportunities. </p>
<p>• <b>Redemption Risk: </b> The Fund may need to sell its portfolio holdings in order to meet shareholder redemption requests. In selling its holdings to meet redemption requests, the Fund could experience a loss if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent, occur in times of overall market turmoil, or declining prices for the securities sold, or when the securities the Fund wishes to or is required to sell are illiquid. </p>
<p>• <b>Subsidiary Risk: </b> By investing in the wholly-owned subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the subsidiary’s investments. The derivatives and other investments held by the subsidiary are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by the Fund and are subject to the same risks that apply to similar investments if held directly by the Fund. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of the subsidiary will be achieved. </p>
<p>An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit or obligation of any bank and is not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other governmental agency.</p>
<p>You could lose money investing in the Fund.</p>

The table demonstrates these risks by showing how the Fund’s annual returns of Class A shares compare to the performance of a broad-based market index over various periods of time. On July 1, 2004, the Artio Global Equity Fund Inc. converted from a closed-end, non-diversified investment company to an open-end, diversified investment company and changed its name, investment goal, investment strategy and investment adviser. The returns shown below do not include returns of the Fund prior to July 1, 2004. The Fund’s average annual return figures for the one-year, five-year and ten-year/since inception periods are net of applicable fee waivers and/or certain expense offset arrangements. The Fund’s average annual return figures without fee waivers and expense offset arrangements would have been lower. You cannot invest directly in an index. Unlike a mutual fund, an index does not incur expenses. If expenses were deducted, actual returns of the index would be lower. Returns (before and after taxes) are based on past results and are not an indication of future performance. Returns for Class I shares will differ.

Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are shown only for Class A shares, and after-tax returns for Class I shares will differ. Past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how each Fund will perform in the future.falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringIf the Fund has annual returns for at least one calendar year, provide a table showing the Fund's (A) average annual total return; (B) average annual total return (after taxes on distributions); and (C) average annual total return (after taxes on distributions and redemption). A Money Market Fund should show only the returns described in clause (A) of the preceding sentence. All returns should be shown for 1-, 5-, and 10- calendar year periods ending on the date of the most recently completed calendar year (or for the life of the Fund, if shorter), but only for periods subsequent to the effective date of the Fund's registration statement. The table also shouldshow the returns of an appropriate broadbased securities market index as defined in Instruction 5 to Item 22(b)(7) for the same periods. A Fund that has been in existence for more than 10 years also may include returns for the life of the Fund. A Money Market Fund may provide the Fund's 7-day yield ending on the date of the most recent calendar year or disclose a toll-free (or collect) telephone number that investors can use to obtain the Fund's current 7-day yield. For a Fund (other than a Money Market Fund or a Fund described in General Instruction C.3.(d)(iii)), provide the information in the following table with the specified captions AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS (For the periods ended December 31, _____). 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 performance with a broad measure of market performance).Reference 1: 1
