General Market Risk. The Fund’s net asset value and investment return will fluctuate based upon
changes in the value of its portfolio securities. Certain securities selected for the Fund’s portfolio may
be worth less than the price originally paid for them, or less than they were worth at an earlier time.
Management Risk. The Fund may not meet its investment objective or may underperform the market or
other mutual funds with similar strategies if the Adviser cannot successfully implement the Fund’s
investment strategies.
Equity Securities Risk. The equity securities held in the Fund’s portfolio may experience sudden,
unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that
affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific industries, sectors, geographic markets,
or companies in which the Fund invests.
Mid-Cap Companies Risk. Securities of mid-cap companies may be more volatile and less liquid than
the securities of large-cap companies.
Large-Cap Companies Risk. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to
new competitive challenges such as changes in consumer tastes or innovative smaller competitors. Also,
large-cap companies are sometimes unable to attain the high growth rates of successful, smaller
companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
Value-Style Investing Risk. The Fund’s value investments are subject to the risk that their intrinsic
values may not be recognized by the broad market or that their prices may decline.
REIT Risk. The real estate industry has been subject to substantial fluctuations and declines on a local,
regional and national basis in the past and may continue to be in the future. Also, the value of a REIT
can be hurt by economic downturns or by changes in real estate values, rents, property taxes, interest
rates, tax treatment, regulations, or the legal structure of a real estate investment trust.
Sector Emphasis Risk. The securities of companies in the same or related businesses (“industry
sectors”), if comprising a significant portion of the Fund’s portfolio, may in some circumstances react
negatively to market conditions, interest rates and economic, regulatory or financial developments and
adversely affect the value of the portfolio.
Financial Sector Risk. The Fund currently invests a significant portion of its assets in companies in the
financial sector, and therefore the performance of the Fund could be negatively impacted by events
affecting this sector. This sector can be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, the rate of
corporate and consumer debt defaults, the availability and cost of borrowing and raising capital,
reduced credit market liquidity, regulatory changes, price competition, bank failures and other financial
crises, and general economic and market conditions.
ADR Risk. ADRs are generally subject to the same risks as the foreign securities because their values
depend on the performance of the underlying foreign securities. ADRs may be purchased through
"sponsored" or "unsponsored" facilities. A sponsored facility is established jointly by the issuer of the
underlying security and a depositary, whereas a depositary may establish an unsponsored facility
without participation by the issuer of the depositary security. Holders of unsponsored ADRs generally
bear all the costs of such depositary receipts, and the issuers of unsponsored ADRs frequently are under
no obligation to distribute shareholder communications received from the company that issues the
underlying foreign securities or to pass through voting rights to the holders of the ADRs. As a result,
there may not be a correlation between such information and the market values of unsponsored ADRs.
