The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days' prior notice of any change in this investment policy. An issuer is considered to be located in a country with an emerging securities market if: (i) the issuer is organized in a country with an emerging securities market; (ii) the principal securities market for the issuer is in a country with an emerging securities market; (iii) the issuer is listed on a securities exchange in a country with an emerging securities market; or (iv) the issuer derives at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed in a country with an emerging securities market or at least 50% of the issuer's assets are located in a country with an emerging securities market.</p> <p>Under normal conditions, the Fund invests at least 75% of its assets in common and preferred stocks, warrants and convertible securities. The Fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization. The Fund may invest in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules, regulations and exemptive orders thereunder ("1940 Act").&nbsp;<font class="_mt">The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in securities of U.S. and other developed market issuers, including investment-grade debt securities of U.S. issuers.</font></p> <p>In selecting securities of companies located in countries with emerging secuities markets, the sub-adviser ("Sub-Adviser") uses an active approach. By means of bottom-up fundamental analysis supported by top-down macro-economic analysis and quantitative screening, the Sub-Adviser identifies companies which it believes have good earnings growth prospects and return potential. To help in this process, the Sub-Adviser scores the emerging markets stocks on a wide range of quantitative and qualitative measures, with particular attention paid to long-term and short-term earnings growth prospects and valuation measures. The Sub-Adviser seeks securities of emerging market issuers which are relatively liquid and covered by professional securities analysts.</p> <p>The Sub-Adviser may sell securities for a variety of reasons, such as to secure gains, limit losses or redeploy assets into opportunities believed to be more promising, among others.</p> <p>The Fund may also lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, up to 30% of its assets.</p></div> </div>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringPrincipal investment strategies of the Fund.

Any of the following risks, among others, could affect Fund performance or cause the Fund to lose money or to underperform market averages of other funds</font>. </p> <p><strong>Company</strong> The price of a given company's stocks could decline or underperform for many reasons including, among others, poor management, financial problems, or business challenges. If a company declares bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, its stocks could become worthless. </p> <p><strong>Convertible Securities</strong> Convertible securities are securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stocks at a stated price or rate. Convertible securities are subject to the usual risks associated with debt securities, such as interest rate and credit risk. In addition, because convertible securities react to changes in the value of the stocks into which they convert, they are subject to market risk. </p> <p><strong>Credit</strong> Prices of bonds and other debt securities can fall if the issuer's actual or perceived financial health deteriorates, whether because of broad economic or issuer-specific reasons. In severe cases, the issuer could be late in paying interest or principal, or could fail to pay altogether. </p> <p><strong>Currency</strong> To the extent that the Fund invests directly in foreign currencies or in securities denominated in, or that trade in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, it is subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. </p> <p><strong>Foreign Investments/Developing and Emerging Markets</strong> Investing in foreign (non-U.S.) securities may result in the Fund experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies, due to smaller markets, differing reporting, accounting and auditing standards, and nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, foreign currency fluctuations, currency blockage, or political changes or diplomatic developments. Foreign investment risks typically are greater in developing and emerging markets than in developed markets.</p> <p><strong>Interest Rate</strong> With bonds and other debt securities, a rise in interest rates generally causes values to fall; conversely, values generally rise as interest rates fall. The higher the credit quality of the security, and the longer its maturity or duration, the more sensitive it is likely to be to interest rate risk. </p> <p><strong>Investment Model</strong> The Sub-Adviser's proprietary model may not adequately allow for existing or unforeseen market factors or the interplay between such factors. </p> <p><strong>Liquidity</strong> If a security is illiquid, the Fund might be unable to sell the security at a time when the Fund's manager might wish to sell, and the security could have the effect of decreasing the overall level of the Fund's liquidity. Further, the lack of an established secondary market may make it more difficult to value illiquid securities, which could vary from the amount the Fund could realize upon disposition. The Fund may make investments that become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perception. The Fund could lose money if it cannot sell a security at the time and price that would be most beneficial to the Fund. </p> <p><strong>Market</strong> Stock prices are volatile and are affected by the real or perceived impacts of such factors as economic conditions and political events. The stock market tends to be cyclical, with periods when stock prices generally rise and periods when stock prices generally decline. Any given stock market segment may remain out of favor with investors for a short or long period of time, and stocks as an asset class may underperform bonds or other asset classes during some periods. From time to time, the stock market may not favor the growth-oriented securities in which the Fund invests. Rather, the market could favor value-oriented securities or may not favor equities at all.</p> <p><strong>Market Capitalization</strong> Stocks fall into three broad market capitalization categories - large, mid and small. Investing primarily in one category carries the risk that, due to current market conditions, that category may be out of favor with investors. If valuations of large-capitalization companies appear to be greatly out of proportion to the valuations of mid- or small-capitalization companies, investors may migrate to the stocks of mid- and small-sized companies causing the Fund that invests in these companies to increase in value more rapidly than a fund that invests in larger, fully-valued companies. Investing in mid- and small-capitalization companies may be subject to special risks associated with narrower product lines, more limited financial resources, smaller management groups, and a more limited trading market for their stocks as compared with larger companies. As a result, stocks of mid- and small-capitalization companies may decline significantly in market downturns. </p> <p><strong>Other Investment Companies</strong> The main risk of investing in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, is the risk that the value of the securities underlying an investment company might decrease. Because the Fund may invest in other investment companies, you will pay a proportionate share of the expenses of that other investment company (including management fees, administration fees and custodial fees) in addition to the expenses of the Fund. </p> <p><strong>Securities Lending</strong> Securities lending involves two primary risks: "investment risk" and "borrower default risk." Investment risk is the risk that the Fund will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that the Fund will lose money due to the failure of a borrower to return a borrowed security in a timely manner.</p> <p><em><font class="_mt"><em>An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.</em></font></em></p></div> </div>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.
