Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The funds impose a 2% redemption fee on shares held less than 180 days. Performance data does not reflect the redemption fee. If reflected, total returns would be reduced. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.

Prior to April 30, 2009, the Fund's Institutional Class was an unnamed share class. The Fund's Investor Class commenced operations on April 30, 2009. Because the fees and expenses vary between classes, performance will vary with respect to each class.

Though not an international fund, the fund may invest in foreign securities. Investing in foreign securities exposes investors to economic, political and market risks and fluctuations in foreign currencies. Though not a small-cap fund, the fund may invest in the securities of small companies. Small-company investing subjects investors to additional risks, including security price volatility and less liquidity than investing in larger companies.
