Shareholders will be given 60 days’ advance notice of any change to this policy. For these purposes, the Adviser defines small cap issuers as those with market capitalizations within the range encompassed by the Russell 2000 Index at the time of purchase. The size of companies in the Russell 2000 Index may change with market conditions. In addition, changes to the composition of the Russell 2000 Index can change the market capitalization range of the companies included in the index. As of June 30, 2013, the market capitalization range of the Russell 2000 Index was between $23 million and $5.8 billion. falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaPrincipal investment strategies of the Fund.

Below are the main risks of investing in the Fund. Market Risk: Market risk refers to the risk related to investments in securities in general and the daily fluctuations in the securities markets. Equity Risk: The value of the equity securities held by the Fund, and thus the value of the Fund’s shares, can fluctuate — at times dramatically. Small Cap Company Risk: These companies may be subject to greater market risks and fluctuations in value than large capitalization companies and may not correspond to changes in the stock market in general. falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaNarrative Risk Disclosure.

The quoted performance for the Fund reflects the performance of a collective investment fund (the “Collective Fund”) that was previously managed with full investment authority by the parent company of the Fund’s Adviser prior to the establishment of the Fund on December 16, 2005. The assets of the Collective Fund were converted into assets of the Fund upon the establishment of the Fund. The performance of the Collective Fund has been restated to reflect the net expenses (after applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements) of the Fund for its initial year of investment operations. The Collective Fund was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and therefore not subject to certain investment restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act. If the Collective Fund had been registered under the 1940 Act, its performance may have been adversly affected.
