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 fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements that may not be renewed. For more information about the amount of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements and their expiration dates, please see the expense table in the prospectus.

Investments in foreign securities may involve different and additional risks associated with foreign currencies, investment disclosure, accounting, securities regulation, commissions, taxes, political or social instability, war, or expropriation.
The Fund may invest in small and mid-cap companies. Small company, and to a lesser extent, mid-cap investing involves higher risks than large company investing.
The Fund’s investments are focused in one sector or state. This means that the Fund may have greater market fluctuation and price volatility than a fund that is less focused. Financial, business and economic factors may have a greater impact on a fund of this kind than on a broadly diversified fund. Similarly, because the Fund is non-diversified and therefore may take larger positions in individual issuers than other mutual funds, it is subject to greater financial risk than a fund that maintains a more broadly diversified portfolio.
