Risk/Return, Supplement Text Block ck0000899148_SupplementTextBlock
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND - The Europe 1.25x Strategy Fund (the
"Fund") is very different from most other mutual funds in that it seeks
leveraged investment results. As a result, the Fund may be riskier than
alternatives that do not use leverage because the performance of an investment
is magnified.

The effect of leverage on the Fund will generally cause the Fund's performance
to not correlate to the performance of the Fund's benchmark (as defined below)
over a period of time greater than a single trading day. This means that the
return of the Fund for a period of longer than a single trading day will be the
result of each day's compounded returns over the period, which will very likely
differ from 1.25x of the return of the Fund's underlying index (as defined
below) for that period. As a consequence, especially in periods of market
volatility, the path or trend of the benchmark during the longer period may be
at least as important to the Fund's cumulative return for the longer period as
the cumulative return of the benchmark for the relevant longer period. Further,
the return for investors who invest for a period longer than a single trading
day will not be the product of the return of the Fund's stated investment goal
(e.g., 1.25x) and the cumulative performance of the underlying index (as defined
below).

The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund should be utilized only by
investors who (a) understand the risks associated with the use of leverage,
(b) understand the consequences of seeking leveraged investment results, and
(c) intend to actively monitor and manage their investments. Investors who do
not meet these criteria should not buy shares of the Fund. An investment in the
Fund is not a complete investment program.
Investment Objective, Heading rr_ObjectiveHeading INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE -
investment Objective, Primary rr_ObjectivePrimaryTextBlock
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that correlate, before fees and
expenses, to the performance of a specific benchmark. The Fund's current
benchmark is 125% of the fair value of the STOXX 50® Index (the "underlying
index").
Expense, Heading rr_ExpenseHeading FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE FUND -

Operating Expenses, Caption rr_OperatingExpensesCaption ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Portfolio Turnover, Heading rr_PortfolioTurnoverHeading PORTFOLIO TURNOVER -
Portfolio Turnover rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and
sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio
turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in
higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs,
which are not reflected in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the
Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year,
the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 515% of the average value of its
portfolio. However, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate is calculated without
regard to cash instruments or derivatives. If such instruments were included,
the Fund's portfolio turnover rate might be significantly higher.

Expense Example, Heading rr_ExpenseExampleHeading EXAMPLE -
Expense Example, Narrative rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the
Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund 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 operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual
costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
Investment Strategy, Heading rr_StrategyHeading PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES -
Investment Strategy, Narrative rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock
The Fund employs as its investment strategy a program of investing in the
common stock of companies that are generally within the capitalization
range of the underlying index and derivative instruments, which primarily
consist of equity index swaps, futures contracts, and options on securities,
futures contracts, and stock indices. Equity index swaps and futures and
options contracts, if used properly, may enable the Fund to meet its objective
by increasing the Fund's exposure to the securities included in the underlying
index or to securities whose performance is highly correlated to that of the
underlying index. The Advisor will attempt to consistently apply leverage to
increase the Fund's exposure to 125% of the underlying index. Under normal
circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any
borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of companies in the underlying
index and derivatives and other instruments whose performance is expected to
correspond to that of the underlying index. The STOXX 50® Index is a
capitalization-weighted index composed of 50 European blue chip stocks consisting
of capitalizations ranging from $24.17 billion to $235.31 billion as of June 30,
2011. Index members are chosen by Stoxx Ltd. from 16 countries under criteria
designed to identify highly liquid companies that are leaders in their sectors.
Certain of the Fund's derivative investments may be traded in the over-the-counter
("OTC") market. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund may hold U.S. government securities
or cash equivalents to collateralize its derivative positions. The Fund also may
invest in American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") to gain exposure to the underlying
index. In an effort to ensure that the Fund is fully invested on a day-to-day basis,
the Fund may conduct any necessary trading activity at or just prior to the close of
the U.S. financial markets. To the extent the Fund's underlying index is concentrated
in a particular industry the Fund will necessarily be concentrated in that industry.
The Fund is non-diversified and, therefore, may invest a greater percentage of its
assets in a particular issuer in comparison to a diversified fund.
Risk, Heading rr_RiskHeading PRINCIPAL RISKS -
Risk, Narrative rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock
As with all mutual funds, a shareholder is subject to the risk that his or
her investment could lose money. In addition to this risk, the Fund is
subject to a number of additional risks that may affect the value of its
shares, including:

Active Trading Risk - Active trading, also called "high portfolio turnover," may
result in higher brokerage costs or mark-up charges, which may negatively affect
Fund performance and result in short-term capital gains, which have a negative
tax effect. Large movements of assets into and out of the Fund due to active
trading also may adversely affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment
objective.

Correlation and Compounding Risk - A number of factors may affect the Fund's
ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with its benchmark, and there
can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve a high degree of correlation.
Failure to achieve a high degree of correlation may prevent the Fund from
achieving its investment objective. The risk of the Fund not achieving its
investment objective will be more acute when the underlying index has an extreme
one-day movement approaching 50%. In addition, as a result of compounding and
the times at which the Fund and the underlying index calculate their respective
NAVs, the Fund's performance is likely to be either greater than or less than
the performance of the underlying index times the stated multiple in the Fund's
investment objective, before accounting for fees and fund expenses.

Compounding affects all investments, but has a more significant impact on a
leveraged index fund. In general, particularly during periods of higher index
volatility, compounding will cause longer-term results to be more or less than
the return of the Fund's benchmark. This effect becomes more pronounced as
volatility increases.

Fund performance for periods greater than one day can be estimated given any set
of assumptions for the following factors: (a) underlying index performance;
(b) underlying index volatility; (c) financing rates associated with leverage;
(d) other Fund expenses; (e) dividends paid by companies in the underlying
index; and (f) period of time. The chart below illustrates the impact of two
principal factors - volatility and index performance - on Fund performance. The
chart shows estimated Fund returns for a number of combinations of performance
and volatility over a one-year period. Performance shown in the chart assumes:
(a) no dividends paid by the companies included in the underlying index; (b) no
Fund expenses; and (c) a cost of leverage of zero percent. If Fund expenses were
included, the Fund's performance would be lower than shown.

Areas shaded lighter represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to
return more than 125% of the performance of the underlying index; conversely,
areas shaded darker represent those scenarios where the Fund can be expected to
return less than 125% of the performance of the underlying index.

The underlying index's annualized historical volatility rate for the five year
period ended June 30, 2011 is 22.91%. The underlying index's highest one-year
volatility rate during the five year period is 37.72%. The underlying index's
annualized performance for the five year period ended June 30, 2011 is -2.98%.

Historical underlying index volatility and performance are not indications of
what the underlying index volatility and performance will be in the future.

Counterparty Credit Risk - The Fund may make investments in financial
instruments involving counterparties that attempt to gain exposure to a
particular group of securities, index or asset class without actually purchasing
those securities or investments, or to hedge a position. The Fund's use of such
financial instruments, including swap agreements, involves risks that are
different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions.
For example, if a swap agreement counterparty defaults on its payment
obligations to the Fund, this default will cause the value of your investment in
the Fund to decrease. Swap agreements also may be considered to be illiquid.

Currency Risk - The Fund's indirect and direct exposure to foreign currencies
subjects the Fund to the risk that those currencies will decline in value
relative to the U.S. Dollar, or, in the case of short positions, that the U.S.
Dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. The Fund
also may incur transaction costs in connection with conversions between various
currencies.

Depositary Receipt Risk - The Fund may hold the securities of non-U.S. companies
in the form of ADRs. The underlying securities of the ADRs in the Fund's
portfolio are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that
may affect the value of the Fund's portfolio. In addition, the value of the
securities underlying the ADRs may change materially when the U.S. markets are
not open for trading. Investments in the underlying foreign securities also
involve political and economic risks distinct from those associated with
investing in the securities of U.S. issuers.

Derivatives Risk - The Fund's investments in derivatives may pose risks in
addition to those associated with investing directly in securities or other
investments, including illiquidity of the derivatives, imperfect correlations
with underlying investments or the Fund's other portfolio holdings, lack of
availability and counterparty risk.

Early Closing Risk - The Fund is subject to the risk that unanticipated early
closings of securities exchanges and other financial markets may result in the
Fund's inability to buy or sell securities or other financial instruments on
that day and may cause the Fund to incur substantial trading losses.

Foreign Issuer Exposure Risk - The Fund may invest in securities of foreign
companies directly, or in financial instruments, such as ADRs, that are
indirectly linked to the performance of foreign issuers. Foreign securities
markets generally have less trading volume and less liquidity than U.S. markets,
and prices in some foreign markets may fluctuate more than those of securities
traded on U.S. markets.

Geographic Concentration in Europe Risk - Because a significant portion of the
assets of the Fund are invested in a specific geographical region, the value of
its investments and the NAV of the Fund could decline more dramatically as a
result of adverse events affecting Europe. In addition, countries in Europe may
be significantly affected by the tight fiscal and monetary controls of the
European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU).

Large-Capitalization Securities Risk - The Fund is subject to the risk that
large-capitalization stocks may underperform other segments of the equity market
or the equity market as a whole.

Leveraging Risk - The Fund achieves leveraged exposure to the underlying index
through the use of derivative instruments. The more the Fund invests in
leveraged instruments, the more this leverage will magnify any losses on those
investments. The Fund's investment in these instruments generally requires a
small investment relative to the amount of investment exposure assumed. As a
result, such investments may give rise to losses that exceed the amount invested
in those instruments. Since the Fund's investment strategy involves consistently
applied leverage, the value of the Fund's shares will tend to increase or
decrease more than the value of any increase or decrease in the underlying
index. Leverage also will have the effect of magnifying tracking error.

Liquidity Risk - In certain circumstances, it may be difficult for the Fund to
purchase and sell particular investments within a reasonable time at a fair
price. In addition, the ability of the Fund to assign an accurate daily value to
certain investments may be difficult, and the Advisor may be required to fair
value the investments.

Market Risk - The Fund's investments in securities and derivatives, in general,
are subject to market risks that may cause their prices, and therefore the
Fund's value, to fluctuate over time. An investment in the Fund may lose money.

Non-Diversification Risk - The Fund is considered non-diversified and can invest
a greater portion of its assets in securities of individual issuers than a
diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single security
could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in
a diversified fund.

OTC Trading Risk - Certain of the derivatives in which the Fund may invest may
be traded (and privately negotiated) in the OTC market. While the OTC
derivatives market is the primary trading venue for many derivatives, it is
largely unregulated. As a result and similar to other privately negotiated
contracts, the Fund is subject to counterparty credit risk with respect to such
derivative contracts.

Passive Investment Risk - The Fund is not actively managed and the Advisor does
not attempt to take defensive positions in declining markets. Therefore, the
Fund may be subject to greater losses in a declining market than a fund that is
actively managed.

Status as a Regulated Investment Company Risk - The Fund may realize gains from
the sale or other disposition of foreign currencies and other income (including
gains from options, futures or forward contracts) derived from investing in
stock, securities, or foreign currencies. The Secretary of the Treasury is
authorized to issue regulations that might cause the Fund, as a result of its
realization of such foreign currency gains, to fail to qualify as a regulated
investment company. As of the date of this Prospectus, no regulations have been
issued pursuant to this authorization, but such regulations may be issued in the
future.

Tracking Error Risk - The Advisor may not be able to cause the Fund's
performance to correlate to that of the Fund's benchmark, either on a daily or
aggregate basis. Factors such as Fund expenses, imperfect correlation between
the Fund's investments and those of the underlying index, rounding of share
prices, changes to the composition of the underlying index, regulatory policies,
high portfolio turnover rate, and the use of leverage all contribute to tracking
error. Tracking error may cause the Fund's performance to be less than you
expect.

Trading Halt Risk - If a trading halt occurs, the Fund may temporarily be unable
to purchase or sell securities, options or futures contracts. Such a trading
halt near the time the Fund prices its shares may limit the Fund's ability to
use leverage and may prevent the Fund from achieving its investment objective.
