Performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. The Fund imposes a 2.00% redemption fee on shares held for less than 30 days. Performance data does not reflect the redemption fee. If reflected, total returns would be reduced. Performance data shown without load is that of the A Share and does not reflect the deduction of the sales load or fee. If reflected, the load or fee would reduce the performance quoted. Performance data shown with the load reflects the Class A maximum sales charge of 5.25%.

*The Investment Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its fees of the Fund to ensure the total amount of Fund normal operating expenses does not exceed 1.50% (for Class A Shares) and 1.25% (for Class I Shares) of the Mid Cap Fund's and 1.35% (for Class A Shares) and 1.10% (for Class I Shares) of the Small Cap Growth Fund's average daily net assets. The Expense Cap will remain in effect through March 31, 2011 and may continue for an indefinite period thereafter. Investment performance reflects fee waivers. In the absence of such waivers, total return would be reduced.

Investing in small- and mid-cap companies involves greater risk and potential reward than investing in more established companies, including business risk, significant stock price fluctuations and illiquidity. Investments in foreign securities involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods.
