¹ Net operating expenses are the expenses you are currently paying to own the Fund. If the net operating expenses shown are lower than the gross operating expenses, then the net operating expenses reflect contractual fee waivers and expense reimbursements that may not be renewed. Contractual waivers or reimbursements remain in effect until February 28, 2011, and automatically renew for one-year terms unless terminated by the Fund’s Adviser (HIFSCO) or Transfer Agent (HASCO). For more information about the fee arrangement and expiration dates, please see the expense table in the prospectus.

² Gross operating expenses shown are before management fee waivers or expense caps. Performance information may reflect historical or current expense waivers or reimbursements, without which, performance would have been lower. For more information on fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, please see the expense table in the prospectus.

The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which can be riskier than investments in U.S. securities (risks may include currency risk, illiquidity risks, and risks from substantially lower trading volume on foreign markets).

The Fund invests in securities of small-cap and/or mid-cap companies, which is riskier than stocks of larger companies, because smaller companies generally are young, have limited business history, and frequently rely on narrow product lines and niche markets.

The Fund may invest in securities of companies that conduct their principal business activities (or that trade principally on exchanges) in emerging markets (including Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Africa), which is riskier than investing in securities of more developed countries (including risks of illiquidity and increased price volatility).

The sub-adviser's investment strategy will influence performance significantly and the Fund could underperform its peers or lose money if that strategy does not perform as expected.
