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.

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 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.

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 invests in growth stocks, which may be more volatile because they are more sensitive to investors' perceptions about the issuing company's growth potential.
