The fund considers Indian issuers to be: (i) companies organized under the laws of India; (ii) companies whose principal place of business is in India; (iii) companies that derive at least 50% of their profits, income or revenue from operations in India; (iv) companies whose securities are principally traded on Indian securities exchanges; or (v) governmental entities or agencies, instrumentalities or political sub-divisions of India. The fund may invest in equity and fixed income securities. In choosing investments, the fund's portfolio managers analyze several factors, including: o economic and political trends in India o the current financial condition and future prospects of individual companies and sectors in India o the valuation of one company or sector in India relative to that of another The portfolio managers generally seek companies with accelerated earnings outlooks and whose share prices appear to be reasonably valued relative to their growth potential. Characteristics of such companies generally include high-quality corporate governance, management with a commitment to increasing shareholder value, strong earnings momentum with consistent free cash flow generation, sound business fundamentals and long-term vision. The fund may invest in the securities of companies of any market capitalization and fixed income securities of any credit quality, maturity or duration. The fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in the securities of issuers located in countries other than India. The fund invests in securities denominated in the Indian rupee or other local currency of issue or U.S. dollar-denominated securities. The fund may, but is not required to, use derivative instruments, such as options, futures and options on futures (including those relating to securities, indexes, foreign currencies and interest rates) and forward contracts, as a substitute for investing directly in an underlying asset, to increase returns, to manage foreign currency risk, or as part of a hedging strategy. The fund is non-diversified, which means that a relatively high percentage of the fund's assets may be invested in a limited number of issuers.</pre>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringPrincipal investment strategies of the Fund.

It is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. It is not a complete investment program. The fund's share price fluctuates, sometimes dramatically, which means you could lose money. o Foreign investment risk. The fund's performance will be influenced by political, social and economic factors affecting investments in foreign issuers. Special risks associated with investments in foreign issuers include exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. o Risks of concentrating investments in India. Because the fund's investments are concentrated in India, the fund's performance is expected to be closely tied to social, political and economic conditions within India and to be more volatile than the performance of more geographically diversified funds. Political, social or economic disruptions in India and surrounding countries, even in countries in which the fund is not invested, may adversely affect security values in India and thus the fund's investments. At times, religious, cultural and military disputes within and outside India have caused volatility in the Indian securities markets and such disputes could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the fund's investments in the future. The securities markets in India are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. The laws of India relating to corporate governance standards may be less robust and transparent, which increases the potential for loss to and unequal treatment of investors. The Indian government has exercised, and continues to exercise, significant influence over many aspects of the Indian economy, which may have a significant effect on the Indian economy and could adversely affect market conditions, Indian companies and prices of Indian securities. o Emerging market risk. India and countries in the India region are considered emerging market countries. The securities of issuers located in emerging markets tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the securities of issuers located in more mature economies, and emerging markets generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. The securities of issuers located or doing substantial business in emerging markets are often subject to rapid and large changes in price. o Foreign currency risk. Investments in foreign currencies, such as the Indian rupee, are subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedged positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline relative to the currency being hedged. o Risks of stock investing. Stocks generally fluctuate more in value than bonds and may decline significantly over short time periods. There is the chance that stock prices overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and falling prices. The market value of a stock may decline due to general weakness in the stock market or because of factors that affect the company or its particular industry. o Market sector risk. The fund may significantly overweight or underweight certain companies, industries or market sectors, which may cause the fund's performance to be more or less sensitive to developments affecting those companies, industries or sectors. o Credit risk. Failure of an issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivatives transaction, to make timely interest or principal payments or otherwise honor its obligations could cause the fund to lose money. The sovereign ratings of certain emerging market countries, as well as the ratings of corporate debt securities, in which the fund may invest may be rated below investment grade ("high yield" or "junk" bonds). High yield ("junk") bonds involve greater credit risk, including the risk of default, than investment grade bonds, and are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to make principal and interest payments. o Interest rate risk. Prices of bonds tend to move inversely with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in rates will adversely affect bond prices and, accordingly, the fund's share price. The longer the effective maturity and duration of the fund's fixed income portfolio, the more the fund's share price is likely to react to interest rates. o Liquidity risk. When there is little or no active trading market for specific types of securities, it can become more difficult to sell the securities at or near their perceived value. In such a market, the value of such securities and the fund's share price may fall dramatically. Investments in foreign securities, particularly those of issuers located in emerging markets, tend to have greater exposure to liquidity risk than domestic securities. o Derivatives risk. A small investment in derivatives could have a potentially large impact on the fund's performance. The use of derivatives involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying assets. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value. o Non-diversification risk. Because the fund may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers, the fund's performance may be more vulnerable to changes in the market value of a single issuer or group of issuers and more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a diversified fund.</pre>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.
