The Fund’s share price will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Stocks are subject to market, economic and business risks that cause their prices to fluctuate. When you sell Fund shares, they may be worth less than what you paid for them. Consequently, you can lose money by investing in the Fund.

 

Standard deviation is a statistical measure of the volatility of a fund’s returns. Beta measures a fund’s risk relative to the Russell 2000 Index which, by definition, has a beta of 1.00. If a fund’s beta is less than 1.00, the fund is considered less risky than the market. Alpha is a measure of a fund’s actual returns and expected performance, given its level of risk (as measured by beta). Upside/downside capture ratio show you whether a given fund has outperformed, gained more or less than, a broad market benchmark during periods of market strength and weakness, and if so, by how much. R-squared is a statistic that indicates how much of a fund’s fluctuations were attributable to movements of the fund’s benchmark index.

The inception date of the Class AAA shares was October 22, 1991. The Class AAA Shares’ net asset values are used to calculate performance for the periods prior to the issuance of Class A Shares and Class C Shares on December 31, 2003 and Class I Shares on January 11, 2008. The actual performance for Class A and Class C Shares would have been lower and Class I Shares higher due to the different expenses associated with those classes of shares. Performance for periods less than one year is not annualized. Class A Shares (load adjusted) includes the effect of the maximum 5.75% sales charge at the beginning of the period. Class C Shares (load adjusted) includes the effect of the applicable 1% contingent deferred sales charge for shares redeemed up to and including the last day of the twelfth month after purchase. The Fund imposes a 2% redemption fee on shares sold or exchanged in seven days or less after the date of purchase. The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged index of 2,000 small cap U.S. stocks that is generally considered to be representative of small capitalization issues in the U.S. stock market and is adjusted for reinvestment of dividends. The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged indicator of stock market performance, its returns do not reflect any fees, expenses, or sales charges, and it is not available for direct deposit. S&P SC 600 is an index of small-cap stocks managed by Standard & Poor’s. It tracks a broad range of small sized companies that meet specific liquidity and stability requirements.

 

Small capitalization stocks are subject to significant price fluctuations and business risks. The stocks of smaller companies may trade less frequently and experience more abrupt price movements than stocks of larger companies; therefore, investing in this sector involves special challenges.
