Fund Disclosures Investors should keep in mind that the Funds will not be diversified for the purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Investment in a nondiversified fund involves greater risks than a diversified investment because a loss resulting from a particular security will have a greater impact on the fund’s overall return. The Funds may not be appropriate for all investors, nor should they be considered a complete investment program. There is no assurance that the Funds’ investment objectives will be achieved. They may invest in smalland mid-cap stocks, which may have limited marketability and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic movements than larger-capitalization stocks. The Funds may engage in the following nonprincipal strategies. The Funds may invest in foreign securities, which are subject to the risk of currency fluctuation and the impact of political, social, and economic change. Noninvestment-grade debt securities, commonly referred to as high yield or “junk” bonds, may be subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of loss of income and principal than securities in higher-rating categories. The Funds also may trade their portfolio securities actively and frequently, resulting in an annual portfolio turnover rate of up to approximately 100%. High portfolio turnover can result in higher costs, which may affect Fund performance. The Funds also may invest in derivative securities, which have their own risks. These risks may result in greater share price volatility.
