The performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results.

*NAV: Net asset value is the value of an entity’s assets minus the value of its liabilities, often in relation to open-end, mutual funds, hedge funds, and venture capital funds. Shares of such funds registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission are usually bought and redeemed at their net asset value.

**YTD Performance: Year-to-date return refers to the profit (or loss) generated by an investment during the year. YTD return is calculated by subtracting the starting value from the current value and dividing it by the starting value. The figure can be multiplied by 100 to convert it into a percentage.

The minimum initial investment in the Fund’s Class A and Class L Shares is $1,000, and the minimum for additional investments is $100. The minimum initial investment in the Fund’s Institutional Class Shares is $1,000,000, and the minimum for additional investments is $100,000.

The Fund’s prospectus contains this and other information about the Fund, and should be read carefully before investing.

Important Risk Information

A Fund’s direct or indirect investments in foreign securities, including depositary receipts, involve risks not associated with investing in U.S. securities that can adversely affect the Fund’s performance. Foreign markets, particularly emerging markets, may be less liquid, more volatile and subject to less government supervision than domestic markets.

Fixed income investments are affected by a number of risks, including fluctuation in interest rates, credit risk, and prepayment risk. In general, as prevailing interest rates rise, fixed income prices will fall.

Small- and Mid-Cap investing involve greater risk not associated with investing in more established companies, such as greater price volatility, business risk, less liquidity and increased competitive threat.

An investment in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) generally presents the same primary risks as an investment in a conventional fund (i.e., one that is not exchange traded) that has the same investment objectives, strategies, and policies. The price of an ETF can fluctuate up or down, and the Fund could lose money investing in an ETF if the prices of the securities owned by the ETF go down. In addition, ETFs may be subject to the following risks that do not apply to conventional funds: (i) the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade above or below their net asset value; (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained; or (iii) trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted if the listing exchanges officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are de-listed from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.

Investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and real-estate related securities involve special risks associated with an investment in real estate, such as limited liquidity and interest rate risks and may be more volatile than other securities. In addition, the value of REITs and other real estate-related investments is sensitive to changes in real estate values, extended vacancies of properties and other environmental and economic factors.

Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.

Investing involves risk, including loss of principal.  There is no guarantee that this, or any, investment strategy will succeed.  Fixed income investments are affected by a number of risks, including fluctuation in interest rates, credit risk, and prepayment risk.  In general, as prevailing interest rates rise, fixed income securities prices will fall.
