Investment Approach
Research-based decisions—global perspective, proprietary, contrarian, bottom-up
Companies that are temporarily out-of-favor and under-researched by institutions
Value philosophy:
- Above-average total-return prospects (projected growth rate plus higher dividend yield)
- Below-average estimated price-to-earnings ratios
- Overlooked or misunderstood companies in viable, growing businesses with solid financial strength

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 is subject to credit risk (the risk that the issuing company may not be able to pay interest and principal when due), interest-rate risk (the risk that your investment may go down in value when interest rates rise), and risk of loss (the risk that you could lose money on your investment).
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 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 Fund invests in value stocks, which may be more volatile because they may go in and out of favor and are sensitive to investors' perceptions about the value potential of the issuing company.
