Performance data represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Performance data does not reflect the deduction of the sales load. If reflected, the sales load would reduce the performance quoted.

** Returns do not reflect deduction of the Fund's 4.50% front-end sales charge.

*** Returns reflect the effect of the Fund's 4.50% front-end sales charge.

Investment Process

The Fund managers focus on identifying undervalued small-capitalization companies with stable or improving earnings records and sound finances.

Among the characteristics that the Fund managers focus on in evaluating companies are financial productivity, solid management, a sound business model and competitive advantages. Value is analyzed by looking at price relative to the true economic value of the company.

 

Risk

Smaller and medium-sized company stocks are more volatile and less liquid than larger more established company securities.
