The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then you redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.

Portfolio Turnover The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in 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 __% of the average value of its whole portfolio. Instructions. A.3.instructions.6 New Funds.

("DRZ"), believes have the potential for growth and that appear to be trading below their perceived value. This is a non-fundamental investment policy that can be changed by the Fund upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders. For purposes of the Fund, a small capitalization company has a market capitalization of no more than $2 billion at the time of initial purchase. DRZ employs a multi-step, "bottom up" investment process. Initially, DRZ screens the investible universe for small market capitalization companies that pay a dividend. DRZ then applies various valuation multiples such as price-to-earnings, price-to-book and price-to-cash flow, to find companies that it believes are trading at the low end of their historical relative valuation levels. DRZ then conducts rigorous fundamental analysis to identify an imminent catalyst which it believes may lead to future price appreciation. DRZ establishes relative price targets for the remaining stocks that have identifiable catalysts. Finally, DRZ filters the results to choose stocks that it believes have the potential for growth and appear to be trading below their perceived value. DRZ considers selling a security when its yield falls below the acceptable limit, when the valuation is no longer attractive or the fundamentals of the company or sector deteriorate. The Fund invests in securities of companies operating in a broad range of industries. Most of these companies are based in the U.S., but in some instances may be headquartered in or doing a substantial portion of their business overseas. The Fund will typically hold 65 to 80 securities. The Fund may engage in frequent and active trading of securities as a part of its principal investment strategy.</pre>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringPrincipal investment strategies of the Fund.

You could lose money on your investment in the Fund and the Fund could also return less than other investments. Since it purchases common stocks, the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. The Fund's investment approach is intended to provide long-term capital growth, which carries with it the potential for price volatility associated with owning equity securities. Historically, the equity markets have moved in cycles. The value of the Fund's equity securities may fluctuate from day to day. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities issued by these companies may decline in response to such developments, which could result in a decline in the value of the Fund's shares. These factors contribute to price volatility, which is the principal risk of investing in the Fund. In addition, common stocks represent a share of ownership in a company, and rank after bonds and preferred stock in their claim on the company's assets in the event of bankruptcy. The Fund is subject to the risk that small and medium capitalization value stocks may underperform other types of stocks or the equity markets as a whole. Moreover, the smaller capitalization companies in which the Fund invests may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, these small companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, small cap company stocks may be more volatile than stocks of larger companies. In addition, micro-capitalization companies are substantially riskier than investments in larger, more established companies. The stocks of micro-capitalization companies are less stable in price and less liquid than the stocks of larger companies. Investing in foreign securities poses additional risks since political and economic events unique in a country or region will affect those markets and their issuers. These events will not necessarily affect the U.S. economy or similar issuers located in the United States. In addition, investments in foreign securities are generally denominated in foreign currency. As a result, changes in the value of those currencies compared to the U.S. dollar may affect (positively or negatively) the value of the Fund's investments. These currency movements may happen separately from, or in response to, events that do not otherwise affect the value of the security in the issuer's home country. There is a risk that foreign securities may not be subject to accounting standards or governmental supervision comparable to U.S. companies and that less public information about their operations may exist. There is risk associated with the clearance and settlement procedures in non-U.S. markets, which may be unable to keep pace with the volume of securities transactions and may cause delays. Foreign markets may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. markets and offer less protection to investors. Over-the-counter securities may also be less liquid than exchange-traded securities. Frequent and active trading may result in greater expenses to the Fund, which may lower the Fund's performance and may generate more taxable short-term gains for shareholders. This Fund should only be purchased by investors seeking long-term capital growth who can withstand the share price volatility of small cap investing. As with any mutual fund, there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal. You can find more information about the Fund's investments and risks under the "Investment Strategies and Risks" section of the Fund's Prospectus.</pre>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

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 -Publisher SEC -Name Form -Number N-1A -Chapter A -Section 4 -Paragraph 2 -Subparagraph iv -Subsection b falsefalsePerformance Table, Narrative38false0rr_AverageAnnualReturnCaptionrrfalsenadurationNo definition available.falsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalse1falsetruefalse00AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherxbrli:stringItemTypestringThis item represents Average Anuual Total Returns.

These expense limitations will remain in effect until at least January 27, 2013 but can be terminated by a vote of the Board of Trustees of the Fund if they deem the termination to be beneficial to the Fund shareholders.
