Investing in mid-cap stocks is more risky and more volatile than investing in large cap stocks. The Fund concentrates a significant portion of its assets in the financial services and consumer discretionary sectors, and its performance may suffer if these sectors underperform the overall stock market.

Performance data quoted represents past performance.  Past performance does not guarantee future results. All performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The 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 their original cost.  Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
