IMPORTANT SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

Enclosed is a notice, combined proxy statement/prospectus the (“Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), and proxy card(s)/voting instruction form(s) for a Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) relating to Credit Suisse Global Fixed Income Fund, Inc., Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund, Inc. and Credit Suisse International Focus Fund, Inc., each a Maryland corporation (each, a “Credit Suisse Fund,” and collectively, the “Credit Suisse Funds”). The Meeting is scheduled for June 10, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. New York time, at the offices of Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC (“CSAM”), Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10010. At the Meeting, you will be asked to approve a proposed Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of [March __, 2009] (the “Reorganization Agreement”) by and among the Credit Suisse Funds and Aberdeen Funds, a Delaware statutory trust, (the “Aberdeen Trust”) on behalf of its Aberdeen Global Fixed Income Fund, Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund and Aberdeen International Equity Fund (each, an “Aberdeen Fund” and collectively, the “Aberdeen Funds”) which contemplates the reorganization of each Credit Suisse Fund into its corresponding Aberdeen Fund. In addition, you will be asked to approve a new investment sub-advisory agreement for each Credit Suisse Fund among CSAM, the Credit Suisse Fund and Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. (“AAMI”) and/or Aberdeen Asset Management Investment Services Limited (“AAMISL”), each an affiliate of Aberdeen Asset Management PLC (“Aberdeen PLC,” together with its affiliates, the “Aberdeen Group”), and the current investment adviser and sub-adviser, respectively, to the Aberdeen Funds (each a “Proposal” and collectively, the “Proposals”).

Background

Credit Suisse Group AG (“Credit Suisse”), the corporate parent of the Credit Suisse Funds’ investment adviser, CSAM, has entered into an agreement to sell part of its Global Investors traditional asset management business (the “Acquired Businesses”) in return for up to 24.97% of the share capital of Aberdeen PLC (the sale of the Acquired Businesses by Credit Suisse to Aberdeen PLC is referred to herein as the “Transaction”). The Acquired Businesses include Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited (U.K.) (“CSAM U.K.”), the investment sub-adviser to the Credit Suisse Funds. A number of the existing portfolio managers, senior professionals, management team members and other key employees of Credit Suisse may be offered employment with the Aberdeen Group and those that accept may be integrated within the portfolio management team that will be managing the Aberdeen Funds following the Reorganization. There can be no assurance, however, that any portfolio manager or other

employee of Credit Suisse that is part of the Acquired Businesses will be employed by the Aberdeen Group before or after the completion of the Transaction.

Following the announcement of the Transaction, the Credit Suisse Funds entered into the Reorganization Agreement with the Aberdeen Trust, on behalf of each Aberdeen Funds. The Reorganization Agreement provides that each Credit Suisse Fund will transfer all of its assets and liabilities to its corresponding Aberdeen Fund in exchange for shares of the Aberdeen Funds and those shares will be transferred to the shareholders of the corresponding class of the corresponding Credit Suisse Fund in complete liquidation of the Credit Suisse Fund (the “Reorganization”) as follows:

Same Value of Shares and Tax-Free Transaction

The Aberdeen Fund shares you receive in the Reorganization will have the same total dollar value as the total dollar value of the Credit Suisse Fund shares that you held immediately prior to the Reorganization. Credit Suisse Fund shares will be exchanged for Aberdeen Fund shares in a manner intended to be tax free under federal tax laws (although there can be no assurances that the Internal Revenue Service will deem the exchanges to be tax free), and no front-end or contingent deferred sales load will be charged as a result of the Reorganization.

Same Level of Service and Fund Expense

The Reorganization is not expected to result in a change in the level or quality of services that Credit Suisse Fund shareholders currently receive. In addition, the Reorganization will not result in an increase in the new expense ratio paid by Credit Suisse Funds shareholders for two years following the Reorganization. AAMI, the investment adviser to the Aberdeen Funds, has agreed for a period of two years following the consummation of the Reorganization to limit the net expense ratio for each class of each Aberdeen Fund so that it does not exceed the net expense ratio of the corresponding class of the corresponding Credit Suisse Fund in effect at the time of the Reorganization. The Credit Suisse Funds and their shareholders will not bear any costs arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement as CSAM and AAMI have agreed to allocate such costs between themselves.

New Sub-Advisory Agreement

In anticipation of the closing of the Transaction, the current investment sub-advisory agreement among each Credit Suisse Fund, CSAM and CSAM U.K. is expected to terminate. To the extent such termination occurs prior to the Reorganization, whether for operational and administrative reasons or if the approval for the Reorganization is delayed or not obtained, there will be potential disruptions of advisory services provided to the Credit Suisse Funds. To avoid such potential disruptions, the Board of Directors of each Credit Suisse Fund (each a “Credit Suisse Board” and collectively the “Credit Suisse Boards”) approved an interim investment sub-advisory agreement for each Credit Suisse Fund among the Credit Suisse Fund, CSAM, AAMI and/or AAMISL, respectively, (each such agreement, an “Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement”). The Credit Suisse Boards also considered and approved, and recommended that shareholders approve, a new investment sub-advisory agreement for each Credit Suisse Fund (each such agreement, a “New Sub-Advisory Agreement”) among the Credit Suisse Fund, CSAM and AAMI and/or AAMISL, respectively. Pending approval of a New Sub-Advisory Agreement by a Credit Suisse Fund’s shareholders, fees payable by CSAM to AAMI and/or AAMISL, as applicable, under an Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement are held in escrow. Except for the effective dates, termination dates and escrow provisions, the terms and conditions of an Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement, including fees, are identical to those of the current investment sub-advisory agreement among a Credit Suisse Fund, CSAM and CSAM U.K. Approval of a New Sub-Advisory Agreement by a Credit Suisse Fund’s shareholders would allow AAMI and/or AAMISL, as applicable to receive the fees held in escrow for their services to the Credit Suisse Funds under an Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement.

The Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements will only become effective following the closing of the Transaction and then only to the extent the Reorganization has not occurred. The approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Credit Suisse Fund is conditioned on the approval of the Reorganization Agreement by the Credit Suisse Fund’s shareholders, but the approval will not become effective if the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement for such Credit Suisse Fund has not become effective for any reason. If Credit Suisse Fund shareholders approve the Reorganization Agreement and the Transaction is consummated, each Credit Suisse Fund will reorganize into the corresponding Aberdeen Fund and such Aberdeen Fund will be advised by AAMI and its affiliates pursuant to investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements that have been approved for such Aberdeen Funds.

Details of each Proposal are included in the attached Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Please carefully review the enclosed materials where you will find information on the expenses, investment policies and services relating to the Aberdeen Funds.

On February 18, 2009 and March 11, 2009 at meetings of the Credit Suisse Boards, each Credit Suisse Board considered and on March 11, 2009 unanimously approved the Reorganization Agreement, the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, and recommended that shareholders of the Credit Suisse Fund approve the Reorganization Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. In addition, the Board of Trustees of Aberdeen Trust considered and unanimously approved the Reorganization Agreement on March 10, 2009.

The Credit Suisse Boards’ recommendation regarding, and any shareholder approval of, the Reorganization Agreement is not conditioned on the consummation of the Transaction. The Reorganization Agreement is subject to certain closing conditions and termination rights, including the Credit Suisse Boards’ right to terminate the Reorganization Agreement if it determines that proceeding with the Reorganization is inadvisable for the Credit Suisse Funds, which may be the case if the Transaction is not consummated. In the event that a Credit Suisse Board determines not to proceed with the Reorganization with respect to a Credit Suisse Fund, the Credit Suisse Board will consider other possible courses of action for the Credit Suisse Fund.

Each Proposal has been reviewed by the Credit Suisse Boards. Each Credit Suisse Board believes that each Proposal is in the best interests of shareholders of the Credit Suisse Funds. Each Credit Suisse Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR each Proposal.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND AND VOTE ON EACH PROPOSAL

The following questions and answers provide an overview of the proposals to (i) reorganize Credit Suisse Global Fixed Income Fund, Inc., Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund, Inc. and Credit Suisse International Focus Fund Inc. (each, a “Credit Suisse Fund,” and collectively, the “Credit Suisse Funds”) into corresponding investment portfolios offered by Aberdeen Funds (the “Aberdeen Trust” and each investment portfolio is referred to as an “Aberdeen Fund”); and (ii) to approve a new investment sub-advisory agreement for each Credit Suisse Fund among Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC (“CSAM”), Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. (“AAMI”) and/or Aberdeen Asset Management Investment Services Limited (“AAMISL,” and together with AAMI, the “Aberdeen Sub-Advisers”), the investment adviser and/or a sub-adviser to the Aberdeen Funds (each, a “Proposal,” and together, the “Proposals”). While we strongly encourage you to read the full text of the enclosed combined proxy statement/prospectus (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), we are also providing you with a brief overview of the subject of the shareholder vote. Your vote is important.

Q.	What are shareholders of the Credit Suisse Funds being asked to vote upon?

A.	Credit Suisse Fund shareholders are being asked to consider and approve (i) a proposal to reorganize each Credit Suisse Fund into a corresponding Aberdeen Fund; and (ii) a new investment sub-advisory agreement among CSAM, AAMI and/or AAMISL and each Credit Suisse Fund.

Q.	What is happening?

A.	Credit Suisse Group AG (“Credit Suisse”), the corporate parent of CSAM, the investment adviser to the Credit Suisse Funds, announced on December 31, 2008 that it had signed an agreement to sell part of its Global Investors traditional asset management business (the “Acquired Businesses”) in return for up to 24.97% of the share capital of Aberdeen Asset Management PLC (“Aberdeen PLC,” together with its affiliates, the “Aberdeen Group”) (the sale of the Acquired Businesses by Credit Suisse to Aberdeen PLC is referred to as the “Transaction”). The sale includes the majority of the Credit Suisse Global Investors business in Europe, the United States, and Asia Pacific. The Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals in various jurisdictions and approval by Aberdeen PLC shareholders, and is expected to close in one or more stages in the second or third quarter of 2009. The Acquired Businesses include Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited (U.K.) (“CSAM U.K.”), the investment sub-adviser to the Credit Suisse Funds.

Following the announcement of the Transaction, the Credit Suisse Funds entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (“Reorganization Agreement”) with the Aberdeen Trust, which contemplates:

the transfer of all of the assets of each Credit Suisse Fund to a corresponding Aberdeen Fund in exchange for shares of the Aberdeen Fund having an aggregate value equal to the assets and liabilities of the Credit Suisse Fund and the assumption by the Aberdeen Fund of all of the liabilities of the Credit Suisse Fund;
the distribution to each shareholder of each class of each Credit Suisse Fund shares of a corresponding class of the corresponding Aberdeen Fund having an aggregate net asset value

	equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares of that class of the Credit Suisse Fund held by that shareholder on the closing date of the reorganization; and

	· the subsequent complete liquidation of each Credit Suisse Fund (the foregoing transaction is referred to herein as the “Reorganization”).

Q.	How are the Credit Suisse Funds proposed to be reorganized?

A.	The Reorganization Agreement was approved by each Board of Directors of the Credit Suisse Funds (each, a “Credit Suisse Board,” and collectively, the “Credit Suisse Boards”) and the Aberdeen Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Aberdeen Board”). The Reorganization Agreement contemplates the Reorganization of each Credit Suisse Fund and its share classes into the corresponding Aberdeen Fund and the share classes listed below:

Credit Suisse Funds

Class A
Class C
Common
Advisor

Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund Inc.

Credit Suisse Fund shareholders who do not wish to have their Credit Suisse Fund shares exchanged for shares of a corresponding Aberdeen Fund as part of the Reorganization should redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the Reorganization. If you redeem your shares, you will recognize a taxable gain or loss based on the difference between your tax basis in the shares and the amount you receive for them. In addition, if you redeem your shares prior to the Reorganization and your shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, your redemption proceeds will be reduced by any applicable sales charge.

The failure of one Credit Suisse Fund to approve its Reorganization will not affect the Reorganization of the other Credit Suisse Funds. In the event a Credit Suisse Fund fails to receive sufficient votes for approval of the Reorganization, management will consider whether to continue further solicitations. If the shareholders of any of the Credit Suisse Funds do not approve the Reorganization Agreement, the Credit Suisse Boards will consider other possible courses of action for the Credit Suisse Funds that did not approve the Reorganization Agreement.

Q.	What is the anticipated timing of the Reorganization?

A.	The meeting of shareholders is scheduled to occur on June 10, 2009. If all necessary approvals are obtained, the proposed Reorganization will likely take place in the early third quarter of 2009.

Q. Are there any significant differences between the investment objectives and policies of the Credit Suisse Funds and the Aberdeen Funds?

A. Each Aberdeen Fund, except the Aberdeen International Equity Fund, is a shell fund created for the purpose of acquiring the assets and liabilities of its corresponding Credit Suisse Fund and has substantially similar investment objectives, policies and restrictions as its corresponding Credit Suisse Fund.

The Aberdeen International Equity Fund is an existing portfolio that has substantially similar investment objectives, policies and restrictions as its Credit Suisse Fund counterpart, Credit Suisse International Focus Fund. While both funds’ investment advisers use a bottom up stock selection approach, their stock selection process is slightly different.

Q. Are there any significant differences in the annual fund operating expenses of the Credit Suisse Funds and Aberdeen Funds?

A. The investment adviser to the Aberdeen Funds has agreed for a two year period following the closing of the Reorganization to limit the total expenses of each class of each Aberdeen Fund to the same or lower annual rate of total expenses of its corresponding class of the corresponding Credit Suisse Fund for the current fiscal year up to the close of the last business day immediately prior to the Reorganization.

Q. Why has the Reorganization of the Credit Suisse Funds into the Aberdeen Funds been recommended?

A. The Credit Suisse Boards and the Aberdeen Board (collectively, the “Boards”) have each determined that the Reorganization of each Credit Suisse Fund into a corresponding Aberdeen Fund is in the best interest of the shareholders of their respective funds and that the interests of the shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. In making this determination, each Board considered the management resources, research capabilities and fund distribution capabilities of AAMI and its affiliates; the projected comparable or lower expense ratios of the Aberdeen Funds; and the future prospects of the Credit Suisse Funds if the Reorganization was not effected.

Q. Will there be any sales load, commission or other transactional fee in connection with the Reorganization?

A. No. The full value of your shares of a Credit Suisse Fund will be exchanged for shares of the same class of the corresponding Aberdeen Fund without any sales load, commission or other transactional fee being imposed. Class B shareholders of a Credit Suisse Fund will receive Class A shares of an Aberdeen Fund as part of the Reorganization and will not pay the applicable front end sales charge as Class A shares. However, future purchases of Class A shares of the Aberdeen Fund after the Reorganization will be subject to the front end sales charge. Aberdeen Funds do not offer Class B shares.

Q.	Why are you sending me this information?

A.	You are receiving this Proxy Statement/Prospectus because you own shares in one or more of the Credit Suisse Funds and have the right to vote on the very important Proposals concerning your investment.

Q.	What effect will the Reorganization have on me as a Credit Suisse Fund shareholder?

A.	Immediately after the Reorganization, shareholders of each class of Credit Suisse Fund will own shares of the corresponding class of the corresponding Aberdeen Fund that are equal in value to the shares of each Credit Suisse Fund that were held by those shareholders immediately prior to the closing of the Reorganization.

Each Aberdeen Fund will offer similar shareholder services as its corresponding Credit Suisse Fund. In addition, neither Credit Suisse nor Aberdeen PLC contemplates instituting any fundamental changes to the manner in which the Credit Suisse Funds have been provided advisory services. A number of the existing portfolio managers, senior professionals, management team members or other key employees of Credit Suisse may be offered employment with the Aberdeen Group and those that accept may be integrated within the portfolio management team that will be managing the Aberdeen Funds following the Reorganization. There can be no assurance, however, that any portfolio manager or other employee of Credit Suisse or CSAM U.K. that is part of the Acquired Businesses will be employed by the Aberdeen Group before or after the completion of the Transaction.

The following table outlines the service provider changes to your Credit Suisse Fund that will result from the Reorganization:

	Credit Suisse Funds	Aberdeen Funds

Adviser	Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC	Aberdeen Asset Management Inc.
Sub-Advisers	Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited (U.K.)	Aberdeen Asset Management Investment

Distributor	Credit Suisse Asset Management Securities Inc.	Aberdeen Fund Distributors LLC

		Credit Suisse Funds		Aberdeen Funds
Auditor		PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP		PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

Q.	What will be the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization?

A.	As a condition to each Credit Suisse Fund’s obligation to consummate the Reorganization, the Credit Suisse Funds and the Aberdeen Funds will receive an opinion from legal counsel to the Aberdeen Trust to the effect that, on the basis of the existing provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, current administrative rules and court decisions, the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement constitute a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes (although there can be no assurances that the Internal Revenue Service will deem the exchanges to be tax-free).

Q. What will happen if the Reorganization is approved but the Transaction is not consummated?

A. The Reorganization is not conditioned on the consummation of the Transaction. The Reorganization Agreement is subject to certain closing conditions and termination rights, including the Credit Suisse Boards’ right to terminate the Reorganization Agreement if it determines that proceeding with the Reorganization is inadvisable for the Credit Suisse Funds, which may be the case if the Transaction is not consummated. In the event that a Credit Suisse Board determines not to proceed with the Reorganization with respect to a Credit Suisse Fund, the Credit Suisse Board will consider other possible courses of action for the Credit Suisse Fund.

Q.	Why am I being asked to vote on a proposed new investment sub-advisory agreement?

A.	The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), which regulates investment companies such as the Credit Suisse Funds, requires investment advisory agreements to contain a provision under which the agreement terminates in the event of an “assignment” (as that term is defined in the 1940 Act and the rules under the 1940 Act). As part of the closing of the Transaction, each Credit Suisse Fund’s investment sub-advisory agreement with CSAM U.K. is expected to terminate.

In anticipation of the closing of the Transaction, the Credit Suisse Boards have approved an interim investment sub-advisory agreement for each Credit Suisse Fund with one or more of the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers (the “Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement,”) under which one or more of the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers will serve as investment sub-adviser to each of the Credit Suisse Funds following the termination of the existing sub-advisory agreement until the earlier of 150 days following such termination or the completion of the Reorganization. Compensation earned by an Aberdeen Sub-Adviser under an Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement will be held in an interest-bearing escrow account for a period of up to 150 days from the termination of the previous investment sub-advisory agreement. The Credit Suisse Boards also approved a new investment sub-advisory agreement for each Credit Suisse Fund with one or more of the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreements”). The approval by each Credit Suisse Fund’s shareholders of a New Sub-Advisory Agreement is necessary for the Aberdeen Sub-Adviser to receive the amounts held in the escrow account for its advisory services to that particular Credit Suisse Fund performed under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement.

The Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements and New Sub-Advisory Agreements are identical in all material respects to each other and to the existing investment sub-advisory agreements with CSAM U.K., including with respect to fees, other than with respect to the effective dates, termination dates and, for the

Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements, the escrow provisions. The sub-advisory fee rates of the Credit Suisse Funds’ agreements with CSAM U.K. will remain the same in the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements and the New Sub-Advisory Agreements.

The Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements will only become effective following the closing of the Transaction and then only to the extent the Reorganization has not yet occurred. The approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Credit Suisse Fund is conditioned on the approval of the Reorganization Agreement by the Credit Suisse Fund’s shareholders, but the approval will not become effective if the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements have not become effective for any reason. If Credit Suisse Fund shareholders approve the Reorganization Agreement and the Transaction is consummated, each Credit Suisse Fund will reorganize into the corresponding Aberdeen Fund and such Aberdeen Fund will be advised by AAMI and its affiliates pursuant to investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements that have been approved for such Aberdeen Funds.

Q.	What happens if the New Sub-Advisory Agreements are not approved?

A.	If shareholders of a particular Credit Suisse Fund do not approve the proposed New Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement has been implemented, the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers will be paid the lesser of the costs incurred in performing its services under the respective Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement plus interest earned or the total amount in the relevant escrow account for that particular Credit Suisse Fund plus interest earned.

Q What Aberdeen Sub-Adviser will sub-advise my Credit Suisse Fund under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement if it becomes effective?

A.	The Credit Suisse Funds will be sub-advised by the following:
	Credit Suisse Fund	Aberdeen Sub-Adviser
Credit Suisse Global Fixed Income Fund		Aberdeen Asset Management Inc.
		Aberdeen Asset Management Investment Services Limited
Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund		Aberdeen Asset Management Investment Services Limited
Credit Suisse International Focus Fund		Aberdeen Asset Management Investment Services Limited

SUMMARY

This is only a summary of certain information contained in this Proxy Statement/ Prospectus. You should read the more complete information in the rest of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, including the Reorganization Agreement (attached as Exhibit A), and the information contained in the Aberdeen Funds’ Prospectus that accompanies this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

PROPOSAL 1: TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

Shareholders of the Credit Suisse Funds are being asked to consider and approve the Reorganization Agreement. The Reorganization Agreement provides for: (i) the acquisition by an Aberdeen Fund of all of the assets and liabilities of its corresponding Credit Suisse Fund in exchange for shares of the Aberdeen Fund; (ii) the pro rata distribution of shares of each Aberdeen Fund to shareholders of the corresponding Credit Suisse Fund; and (iii) the subsequent liquidation of the Credit Suisse Funds. If the shareholders of a Credit Suisse Fund vote to approve the Reorganization Agreement, as a shareholder of the Credit Suisse Fund, you will receive Aberdeen Fund’s shares equal in total value to your investment in the Credit Suisse Fund. If approved, the Reorganization Agreement will have the effect of reorganizing each of the Credit Suisse Funds with and into a corresponding Aberdeen Fund, which has identical or substantially similar investment objectives and strategies, as set forth below. This means that you will cease to be a shareholder of the Credit Suisse Fund and will become a shareholder of the Aberdeen Fund. This exchange will occur on a date agreed to by the parties to the Reorganization Agreement (hereafter, the “Closing Date”), which is currently expected to be in the early third quarter of 2009. A copy of the Reorganization Agreement is attached as Exhibit A. The proposed reorganization for the Credit Suisse Funds is referred to in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus as the “Reorganization.”

What is the purpose of the Proposal?

At meetings held on February 18, 2009 and March 11, 2009, the Credit Suisse Boards considered and on March 11, 2009 unanimously approved the Reorganization Agreement and recommended that shareholders of the Credit Suisse Funds approve the Reorganization Agreement.

For the reasons set forth below under “Reasons for the Reorganization,” the Credit Suisse Boards and the Board of Trustees of Aberdeen Funds (the “Aberdeen Board” and collectively with the Credit Suisse Boards, the “Boards”) have concluded that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Credit Suisse Funds and the Aberdeen Funds, respectively. The Boards have also concluded that the interests of the shareholders of the Credit Suisse Funds and Aberdeen Funds, respectively, will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.

What are the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization?

It is expected that shareholders of each of the Credit Suisse Funds will not recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the exchange of their shares in the

Credit Suisse Funds for shares of the Aberdeen Funds pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement (although there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) will deem the exchanges to be tax-free). You should, however, consult your tax adviser regarding the effect, if any, of the Reorganization in light of your individual circumstances. You should also consult your tax adviser about other state and local tax consequences of the Reorganization, if any, because the information about tax consequences in this document relates to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization only. For further information about the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, see “Information About the Reorganization – What are the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization?”

As a condition to the closing of the Reorganization, Credit Suisse Funds and Aberdeen Funds will receive an opinion from Aberdeen Funds’ counsel, Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP (based on certain facts, qualifications, assumptions and representations) to the effect that each Credit Suisse Fund reorganization into an Aberdeen Fund, for federal income tax purposes, will qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

How do the investment objectives, investment strategies and fundamental investment limitations of each Credit Suisse Fund and its corresponding Aberdeen Fund compare?

Investment Objectives

Investment Strategies

The investment strategies of each Aberdeen Fund are, in general, identical or substantially similar to those of its corresponding Credit Suisse Fund. With respect to the Credit

Suisse Global Small Cap Fund/Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund and the Credit Suisse International Focus Fund/Aberdeen International Equity Fund, there are differences in the portfolio management strategy for selecting securities. The following pages provide the investment strategies of each Credit Suisse Fund and Aberdeen Fund. Any difference between the Funds in their investment strategies or investment approach are highlighted below.

1. Credit Suisse Global Fixed Income Fund/Aberdeen Global Fixed Income Fund

The Credit Suisse Global Fixed Income Fund and its corresponding Aberdeen Global Fixed Income Fund have almost identical investment strategies that are described as follows:

Each Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in fixed-income securities of U.S. and foreign issuers including:

· foreign governments, their agencies and instrumentalities and foreign companies, including those in emerging markets;
· multinational organizations, such as the World Bank;
· the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities and U.S. companies; and
· asset-backed securities.

As a non-fundamental policy, under normal market conditions, each Fund invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in fixed-income securities of issuers located in a number of countries throughout the world, which may include the U.S. Under normal market conditions, the Aberdeen Global Fixed Income Fund discloses that it will invest significantly (at least 40% – unless market conditions are not deemed favorable by the Adviser in which case the Fund would invest at least 30%) in bonds of issuers organized or having their principal place of business outside the United States or doing a substantial amount of business outside the United States. There is no limit on either Fund’s ability to invest in emerging markets.

Both Funds’ portfolio managers base their investment decisions on fundamental factors, including economic market and currency trends and credit quality. Each Fund generally invests in markets where the combination of fixed-income returns and currency exchange rates appear attractive, or, if the currency trend is unfavorable, where the portfolio managers believe the currency risk can be reduced through hedging.

Each Fund may invest in all types of fixed-income securities, including:

· corporate bonds, debentures and notes;
· convertible debt securities;
· preferred stocks;
· government securities;
· municipal and other government related securities;

mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities; and
repurchase agreements involving portfolio securities.

Each Fund may purchase securities denominated in foreign currencies or in U.S. dollars.

Each Fund may invest up to:

40% of assets in securities of issuers located in any single foreign country;
35% of net assets in fixed-income securities rated below investment grade (junk bonds);
25% of assets in the securities of any one foreign government, its agencies, instrumentalities and political subdivisions; and
20% of net assets in equity securities, including common stocks, warrants and rights.

Neither Fund has a stated maturity policy and the average effective maturity may change.

To a limited extent, each Fund may also engage in other investment practices that include the use of options, futures, swaps and other derivative securities. Each Fund will attempt to take advantage of pricing inefficiencies in these securities. For example, a Fund may write (i.e., sell) put and call options. A Fund would receive premium income when it writes an option, which will increase its return in the event the option expires unexercised or is closed out at a profit. Upon the exercise of a put or call option written by a Fund, such Fund may suffer an economic loss equal to the difference between the price at which the Fund is required to purchase, in the case of a put, or sell, in the case of a call, the underlying security or instrument and the option exercise price, less the premium received for writing the option. Each Fund may engage in derivative transactions involving a variety of underlying instruments, including equity and debt securities, securities indexes, futures and options on swaps (commonly referred to as swaptions).

The writing of uncovered (or so-called “naked”) options and other derivative strategies are speculative and may hurt a Fund’s performance. Each Fund may attempt to hedge its investments in order to mitigate risk, but it is not required to do so. The benefits to be derived from each Fund’s options and derivatives strategy are dependent upon the advisers’ ability to discern pricing inefficiencies and predict trends in these markets, which decisions could prove to be inaccurate. This requires different skills and techniques than predicting changes in the price of individual fixed income securities, and there can be no assurance that the use of this strategy will be successful.

2. Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund/Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund

Other than the difference noted below concerning the description of investment adviser’s approach in choosing securities, the Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund and its corresponding Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund have almost identical investment strategies that are described as follows:

Each Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing in equity securities of small U.S. and foreign companies. As a non-fundamental policy, under normal market conditions, each

Fund will invest at least 80% of the value of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of small companies from a broad range of countries, including the U.S. and 40% of assets (at least 30% if the Fund’s manager deems market conditions to be not normal) in companies located or conducting a majority of their business outside the U.S.

Each Fund considers a “small” company to be one whose market capitalization is within the range of capitalizations of companies in the MSCI World Small Cap Index at the time of purchase. As of December 31, 2008, the MSCI World Small Cap Index included companies with market capitalization between $22 million and $7.2 billion, subject to the Fund’s ongoing operating policy under which a “small” company is considered to be one whose market capitalization does not exceed $4 billion. Some companies may outgrow the definition of a small company after a Fund has purchased their securities. These companies continue to be considered small for purposes of each Fund’s minimum 80% allocation to small company equities. In addition, each Fund may invest in companies of any size once the 80% policy is met. As a result, a Fund’s average market capitalization may sometimes exceed that of the largest company in the MSCI World Small Cap Index.

Each Fund will diversify its investments across companies, industries and countries.

Each Fund’s equity holdings may include:

common stocks and preferred stocks;
rights and warrants;
securities convertible into common stocks; and
partnership interests.

Each Fund may invest:

up to 20% of net assets in debt securities;
up to 35% of net assets in emerging markets securities; and
without limit in foreign securities.

To a limited extent, each Fund may also engage in other investment practices.

Difference in Description of Investment Approach. The Aberdeen Fund’s portfolio managers employ a fundamental, bottom-up equity investment style, which is characterized by intensive, first-hand research and disciplined company evaluation. Stocks are identified for their long-term, fundamental value. The stock selection process contains two filters, first quality and then price. In the quality filter, the portfolio managers seek to determine whether the company is a business that has good growth prospects and a balance sheet that supports expansion, and they evaluate other business risks. In the price filter, the portfolio managers assess the value of a company by reference to standard financial ratios, and estimate the value of the company relative to its market price and the valuations of companies within a relevant universe. The portfolio managers may sell a security when they perceive that a company’s business direction or growth prospects have changed or the company’s valuations are no longer attractive.

For foreign securities, the Credit Suisse portfolio managers also use a bottom-up investment approach to identify fundamentally strong companies trading at a discount to their projected growth rates or intrinsic asset values (i.e., the present value of the future cash flows that it will generate). In choosing foreign securities, the manager looks at a number of factors, including:

price/earnings growth;
revenue growth;
asset/book value;
strong returns on capital;
reliability and effectiveness of management; and
whether the price of the security is attractive as compared to its competitors.

The Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund will seek capital appreciation by taking advantage of both growth and value opportunities in foreign securities, based on the portfolio managers’ views of individual companies outside the U.S. The Credit Suisse Fund intends to invest at least 40% of assets in non-U.S. companies under normal market conditions (at least 30% if the Fund’s manager deems market conditions to be not normal). The Credit Suisse Fund is not required to maintain any specific portion of its assets in growth or value stocks and the portion of the Fund’s assets invested in either will vary depending on market conditions.

The Credit Suisse Fund’s portfolio manager generally will sell foreign securities when there has been a fundamental change in the company’s prospects or where price appreciation brings its expectation of profit growth to a rate at or below that implied by the current market value. The portfolio manager may sell foreign securities for a variety of other reasons, such as to realize profits, limit losses or take advantage of better investment opportunities.

With respect to investments in U.S. securities, the Credit Suisse portfolio managers follow an actively managed approach. The portfolio managers select U.S. equity securities for the Fund through a fundamental analysis approach which seeks to identify through a bottom-up investment approach fundamentally strong companies trading at a discount to their projected growth rates or intrinsic asset values. The portfolio manager may sell securities to realize profits, limit losses or take advantage of better investment opportunities.

3. Credit Suisse International Focus Fund/Aberdeen International Equity Fund

Other than the difference noted below concerning the description of the investment adviser’s approach in choosing securities, the Credit Suisse International Focus Fund and its corresponding Aberdeen International Equity Fund have substantially similar investment strategies that are described as follows:

Both Funds seek long term capital growth by investing in equity securities. Both Funds invest at least 80% of their net assets in equity securities from foreign markets. The Credit Suisse International Focus Fund invests in 60 to 85 companies located in or conducting a majority of their business in foreign markets or companies whose securities trade primarily in

major foreign markets. The Aberdeen International Equity Fund does not have a specific number of stocks it can hold. Both Funds consider foreign markets to include Europe, Australasia, the Far East and other regions. While both Funds may invest in companies in developing countries, the Credit Suisse International Focus Fund, unlike the Aberdeen International Equity Fund, limits its investment in such markets to 15% of its assets. The top fifteen largest company holdings in the Credit Suisse International Focus Fund, but not the Aberdeen International Equity Fund, may account for 40% or more of a Fund’s assets.

Both Funds may invest in common stock, warrants and securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stocks. Additionally, the Aberdeen International Equity Fund may invest as a principal investment strategy in preferred stock, foreign investment trusts or funds, depository receipts and derivatives, such as options and futures. The Aberdeen International Equity Fund, as a principal investment strategy, may also use derivatives as a substitute for taking a position in an underlying asset, to increase returns or as part of a hedging strategy; however, the Aberdeen International Equity Fund does not generally expect to invest in derivatives. The Aberdeen International Equity Fund does reserve the right to use index futures for cash management purposes.

Difference in Description of Investment Approach. Both Funds’ advisers use a bottom-up investment approach to choosing equity securities, however the portfolio managers for each Fund use slightly different descriptions of their stock selection process. The Credit Suisse International Focus Fund’s portfolio managers look for companies of any size whose stocks appear to be discounted relative to earnings, assets or projected growth. The portfolio managers for the Credit Suisse International Focus Fund determine value based upon research and analysis, taking all relevant factors into account. The Aberdeen International Equity Fund seeks to identify stocks for their long-term, fundamental value. The Aberdeen International Equity Fund’s portfolio managers’ stock selection process contains two filters, first quality and then price. In the quality filter, the portfolio managers seek to determine whether the company is a business that has good growth prospects and a balance sheet that supports expansion, and they evaluate other business risks. In the price filter, the portfolio managers assess the value of a company by reference to standard financial ratios, and estimate the value of the company relative to its market price and the valuations of companies within a relevant universe. The portfolio managers of the Aberdeen International Equity Fund may sell a security when they perceive that a company’s business direction or growth prospects have changed or the company’s valuations are no longer attractive.

Fundamental Investment Restrictions

This section briefly compares and contrasts certain fundamental investment restrictions of the Credit Suisse Funds with the corresponding Aberdeen Funds. More complete information may be found in the respective Statements of Additional Information for the Credit Suisse Funds and the Aberdeen Funds.

Unless otherwise indicated, the restrictions discussed below are fundamental policies of a Credit Suisse Fund or Aberdeen Fund. This means that the policy cannot be changed without the approval of shareholders. Investment restrictions that are non-fundamental may be changed by either of the Boards.

Diversification. Each of the Aberdeen Funds and Credit Suisse Funds is a diversified company as defined in the 1940 Act. The Aberdeen Funds may not purchase securities of any one issuer, other than obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, if, immediately after such purchase, more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in such issuer or the Fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer, except that 25% or less of the Fund’s total assets may be invested without regard to such limitations. There is no limit to the percentage of assets that may be invested in U.S. Treasury bills, notes, or other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities.

The Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund and Credit Suisse International Focus Fund have a comparable policy that they may not purchase the securities of any issuer if as a result more than 5% of the value of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in the securities of such issuer, except that this 5% limitation does not apply to U.S. government securities and except that up to 25% of the value of the Fund’s total assets may be invested without regard to this 5% limitation. The Credit Suisse Global Fixed Income Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act but does not have a comparable fundamental limitation.

Borrowing and Issuing Senior Securities. The Aberdeen Funds may not borrow money or issue senior securities, except that each Fund may sell securities short, enter into reverse repurchase agreements and may otherwise borrow money and issue senior securities as and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act or any rule, order or interpretation thereunder.

The Credit Suisse Global Fixed Income Fund and Credit Suisse International Focus Fund have a comparable policy that they may not borrow money, except to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act. The Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund may not borrow money except that the Fund may (a) borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes and (b) enter into reverse repurchase agreements; provided that reverse repurchase agreements, dollar roll transactions that are accounted for as financings and any other transactions constituting borrowing by the Fund may not exceed 30% of the value of the Fund’s total assets at the time of such borrowing. For purposes of this restriction, short sales, the entry into currency transactions, options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, forward commitment transactions and dollar roll transactions that are not accounted for as financings (and the segregation of assets in connection with any of the foregoing) shall not constitute borrowing.

In addition the Credit Suisse Funds may not issue any senior security except as permitted in the Fund’s investment limitations.

Underwriting. The Aberdeen Funds may not act as an underwriter of another issuer’s securities, except to the extent that the Fund may be deemed an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the purchase and sale of portfolio securities.

The Credit Suisse Funds may not underwrite any securities issued by others except to the extent that the investment in restricted securities and the sale of securities in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective, policies and limitations may be deemed to be underwriting

Commodities. The Aberdeen Funds may not purchase or sell commodities or commodities contracts, except to the extent disclosed in the current Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information of the Fund.

The Credit Suisse Funds may not invest in commodities, except that the Funds may purchase and sell futures contracts, including those relating to securities, currencies and indexes, and options on futures contracts, securities, currencies or indexes, purchase and sell currencies on a forward commitment or delayed-delivery basis and with respect to the Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund and Credit Suisse International Focus Fund enter into stand-by commitments.

Industry Concentration. The Aberdeen Funds may not purchase the securities of any issuer if, as a result, 25% or more (taken at current value) of the Fund’s total assets would be invested in the securities of issuers, the principal activities of which are in the same industry. This limitation does not apply to securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities or securities of other investment companies. The following industries, among others, are considered separate industries for purposes of this investment restriction: electric, natural gas distribution, natural gas pipeline, combined electric and natural gas, and telephone utilities, captive borrowing conduit, commercial mortgage, residential mortgage, equipment finance, premium finance, leasing finance, consumer finance and other finance.

The Credit Suisse Funds have a comparable policy that they may not purchase any securities which would cause 25% or more of the value of the Credit Suisse Fund’s total assets at the time of purchase to be invested in the securities of issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same industry; provided that there shall be no limit on the purchase of U.S. government securities.

Lending. The Aberdeen Funds may not lend any security or make any other loan, except that each Fund may in accordance with its investment objective and policies (i) lend portfolio securities, (ii) purchase and hold debt securities or other debt instruments, including but not limited to loan participations and subparticipations, assignments, and structured securities, (iii) make loans secured by mortgages on real property, (iv) enter into repurchase agreements, and (v) make time deposits with financial institutions and invest in instruments issued by financial institutions, and enter into any other lending arrangement as and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act or any rule, order or interpretation thereunder.

The Credit Suisse Global Fixed Income Fund and International Focus Fund have a comparable policy that they will not make loans except through loans of portfolio securities, entry into repurchase agreements, acquisitions of securities consistent with its investment objective and policies and as otherwise permitted by the 1940 Act. Similarly, the Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund may not make loans, except that the Fund may purchase or hold fixed-income securities, including loan participations, assignments and structured securities, lend portfolio securities and enter into repurchase agreements.

Real Estate. The Aberdeen Funds may not purchase or sell real estate, except that each Fund may (i) acquire real estate through ownership of securities or instruments and sell any real estate acquired thereby, (ii) purchase or sell instruments secured by real estate (including

interests therein), and (iii) purchase or sell securities issued by entities or investment vehicles that own or deal in real estate (including interests therein).

The Credit Suisse Funds have a comparable policy that they will not purchase or sell real estate, provided that a Credit Suisse Fund may invest in securities secured by real estate or interests therein or issued by companies that invest or deal in real estate or interests therein or are engaged in the real estate business, including real estate investment trusts.

The Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund may not purchase or sell real estate or invest in oil, gas or mineral exploration or development programs, except that the Fund may invest in (a) securities secured by real estate, mortgages or interests therein and (b) securities of companies that invest in or sponsor oil, gas or mineral exploration or development programs. The Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund has a comparable non-fundamental investment restriction regarding investment in oil, gas or mineral exploration or development programs.

Margin Purchases. The Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund may not purchase securities on margin, except that the Fund may obtain any short-term credits necessary for the clearance of purchases and sales of securities. For purposes of this restriction, the deposit or payment of initial or variation margin in connection with transactions in currencies, options, futures contracts or related options will not be deemed to be a purchase of securities on margin. The Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund has a similar non-fundamental investment limitation.

For a complete description of the Aberdeen Funds’ investment strategies, policies, and risks, you should read the Aberdeen Funds’ Prospectus that accompanies this Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

What are the fees and expenses of each Fund and what can I expect them to be after the Reorganization?

Expense Ratio Tables. Expenses of mutual funds are often measured by their expense ratios (i.e., the ratio of their total expenses for a year divided by their average daily net asset value over the same year). The following tables: (1) compare the fees and expenses for the Credit Suisse Funds and their corresponding Aberdeen Funds based on actual expenses of the Credit Suisse Funds for a recent twelve-month period, estimated expenses for the Aberdeen Global Fixed Income Fund and the Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund (which are shell funds created for the purpose of this Reorganization that will not commence operations until the consummation of the Reorganization) and actual expenses of the Aberdeen International Equity Fund; and (2) show the estimated fees and expenses for the corresponding Aberdeen Funds on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Reorganization. The purpose of these tables is to assist shareholders in understanding the various costs and expenses that investors in these portfolios will bear as shareholders. The tables enable you to compare and contrast the expense levels for the Credit Suisse Funds and the Aberdeen Funds and obtain a general idea of what the expense levels will be if the Reorganization occurs. The tables do not reflect any charges that may be imposed by institutions directly on their customer accounts in connection with investments in the funds. Pro forma expense levels shown should not be considered an actual representation of future expenses or performance. Such pro forma expense levels project anticipated levels but actual expenses may be greater or less than those shown.

The Credit Suisse Funds’ expenses are based on actual expenses for the twelve months ended October 31, 2008. The Aberdeen Global Fixed Income Fund and the Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund’s expenses are based on anticipated fees and expenses payable by the Aberdeen Fund through the fiscal year ending October 31, 2009. The Aberdeen International Equity Fund expenses are annualized expense ratios based on actual fees and expenses of the Fund from its commencement of operation as an Aberdeen Fund on June 23, 2008.

The sales charge and redemption fee structure for the Credit Suisse Funds and the Aberdeen Funds have some differences and are compared in more detail below in the section titled “Shareholder Transactions and Services of the Credit Suisse Funds and the Aberdeen Funds.” With respect to each Fund’s net annual operating expenses, each Aberdeen Fund has net overall expenses after contractual expense limitations and fee waivers that are the same as or lower than its corresponding Credit Suisse Fund. AAMI has agreed for a period of two years following the consummation of the Reorganization to limit the net expense ratio of each class of each Aberdeen Fund so that it does not exceed the net expense ratio of the corresponding class of the corresponding Credit Suisse Fund in effect at the time of the Reorganization.

1	If you buy and sell shares through a broker or other financial intermediary, the intermediary may charge a separate transaction fee.

2	The maximum sales charge imposed is reduced for larger purchases. Purchases of $1,000,000 or more are not subject to an initial sales charge but may be subject to a 0.50% CDSC (Contingent Deferred Sales Charge) on redemptions made within one year of purchase.

3	The sales charge on purchases of Class A shares is reduced or eliminated for purchases of $100,000 or more. Class A shares of the Aberdeen Fund received in connection with the Reorganization will not be subject to the front end sales charge. Class A shares of the Aberdeen Fund purchased after the Reorganization will be subject to the front end sales charge.

4	A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of up to 0.75% will apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares if purchased without sales charges and for which a finder’s fee was paid.

5	A redemption/exchange fee of 2% applies to shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 calendar days after the date they were purchased. This fee is intended to discourage frequent trading of Aberdeen Fund shares that can negatively affect theAberdeen Fund’s performance. The fee does not apply to shares purchased through reinvested dividends or capital gains or shares held in certain omnibus accounts or retirement plans that cannot implement the fee. Shares issued in connection with the Reorganization will not be subject to the redemption fee.

6	The Credit Suisse Fund’s “Total annual fund operating expenses” are based on actual expenses paid by the Credit Suisse Fund for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 and “Net annual fund operating expenses” are estimated for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009. The Aberdeen Fund’s “Annual fund operating expenses” are annualized expenses based on anticipated fees and expenses payable by the Aberdeen Fund for the current fiscal year.

7	CSAM has voluntarily agreed not to impose a portion of its management fee equal to 0.80% of the Credit Suisse Fund’s average daily net assets. As a result, the current management fee is 0.20% of the Credit Suisse Fund’s average daily net assets. The waiver may be terminated at any time at the option of CSAM.

8	“Other Expenses” include other ordinary operating expenses of the Aberdeen Fund including administrative services fees which are permitted to be up to 0.25% with respect to Class A, Class R and Institutional Service Class shares. The full 0.25% in administrative services fees is not reflected in “Other Expenses” at this time because the Aberdeen Fund does not currently anticipate selling its shares to intermediaries that charge the full amount permitted during the current fiscal year. The amount currently reflected in “Other Expenses” for administrative services fees is 0.06% for Class A shares, 0.02% for Class R shares and 0.07% for Institutional Service Class shares. If the maximum amount of administrative services fees were charged, the “Net annual fund operating expenses” would be higher.

9	CSAM’s fee waivers and expense reimbursements or credits are voluntary and may be discontinued at any time. Aberdeen Trust and AAMI have entered into a written contract limiting operating expenses to 1.20% for Class A, 1.95% for Class C and 0.95% for Institutional Service Class through at least _________, 2010. This limit excludes certain Fund expenses, including any taxes, interest, brokerage fees and short-sale dividend expenses. Aberdeen Trust is authorized to reimburse AAMI for management fees previously limited and/or for expenses previously paid by AAMI, provided, however that any reimbursements must be paid at a date not more than three years after the fiscal year in which AAMI limited the fees or reimbursed the expenses and the reimbursements do not cause the Fund to exceed the expense limitation in the agreement at the time the expenses are waived.



10	A CDSC of 1% is charged if you sell Class C shares within the first year after purchase.

Examples. These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in (1) the Credit Suisse Fund as it currently exists; (2) its corresponding Aberdeen Fund as it currently

exists; and (3) the Aberdeen Fund if it acquires the corresponding Credit Suisse Fund (the “Pro forma”) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. These examples assume that you invest $10,000 in a Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell all of your shares of that Fund at the end of those periods. It assumes a 5% return each year, no change in expenses and the expense limitations for one year only (if applicable). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower based on these assumptions your costs would be:

** Expenses paid on the same investment in Class A (unless your purchase is subject to a CDSC for a purchase of $1,000,000 or more), Class R and Institutional Service Class shares do not change, whether or not you sell your shares.

The Funds do not apply sales charges on reinvested dividends and other distributions. If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher.

1	If you buy and sell shares through a broker or other financial intermediary, the intermediary may charge a separate transaction fee.

2	The maximum sales charge imposed is reduced for larger purchases. Purchases of $1,000,000 or more are not subject to an initial sales charge but may be subject to a 1% CDSC (Contingent Deferred Sales Charge) on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Credit Suisse Fund shareholders of Class B shares that are issued Class A shares of an Aberdeen Fund will not be subject to any maximum sales charge (load) upon exchange. Class A shares of the Aberdeen Fund purchased after the Reorganization will be subject to the applicable front end sales charge.

3	The sales charge on purchases of Class A shares is reduced or eliminated for purchases of $50,000 or more. Class A shares of the Aberdeen Fund received in connection with the Reorganization will not be subject to the front end sales charge. Class A shares of the Aberdeen Fund purchased after the reorganization will be subject to the front end sales charge.

4	A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of up to 1.00% will apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares if purchased without sales charges and for which a finder’s fee was paid.

5	Imposed on shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 days from date of purchase.

6	A redemption/exchange fee of 2% applies to shares redeemed or exchanged within 90 calendar days after the date they were purchased. This fee is intended to discourage frequent trading of Aberdeen Fund shares that can

	negatively affect the Aberdeen Fund’s performance. The fee does not apply to shares purchased through reinvested dividends or capital gains or shares held in certain omnibus accounts or retirement plans that cannot implement the fee. Shares issued in connection with the Reorganization will not be subject to the redemption fee.

7	The Credit Suisse Fund’s “Total annual fund operating expenses” are based on actual expenses paid by the Credit Suisse Fund for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 and “Net annual fund operating expenses” are estimated for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2009. The Aberdeen Fund’s “Annual fund operating expenses” are annualized expenses based on anticipated fees and expenses payable by the Aberdeen Fund for the current fiscal year.

8	CSAM has voluntarily agreed not to impose a portion of its management fee equal to 1.02% of the Credit Suisse Fund’s average daily net assets. As a result, the current management fee is 0.23% of the Credit Suisse Fund’s average daily net assets. The waiver may be terminated at any time at the option of CSAM.

9	“Other Expenses” include other ordinary operating expenses of the Aberdeen Fund including administrative services fees which are permitted to be up to 0.25% with respect to Class A, Class R and Institutional Service Class shares. The full 0.25% in administrative services fees is not reflected in “Other Expenses” at this time because the Aberdeen Fund does not currently anticipate selling its shares to intermediaries that charge the full amount permitted during the current fiscal year. The amount currently reflected in “Other Expenses” for administrative services fees is 0.06% for Class A shares, 0.02% for Class R shares and 0.07% for Institutional Service Class shares. If the maximum amount of administrative services fees were charged, the “Net annual fund operating expenses” would be higher.

10	CSAM’s fee waivers and expense reimbursements are voluntary and may be discontinued at any time. Aberdeen Trust and AAMI have entered into a written contract limiting operating expenses to 1.55% for Class A, 2.30% for Class C and 1.80% for Class R through at least _______, 2010. This limit excludes certain Aberdeen Fund expenses, including any taxes, interest, brokerage fees and short-sale dividend expenses. Aberdeen Trust is authorized to reimburse AAMI for management fees previously limited and/or for expenses previously paid by AAMI, provided, however that any reimbursements must be paid at a date not more than three years after the fiscal year in which AAMI limited the fees or reimbursed the expenses and the reimbursements do not cause the Aberdeen Fund to exceed the expense limitation in the agreement at the time the expenses are waived.



11	Credit Suisse Fund Class B shareholders will be issued Aberdeen Fund Class A shares upon Reorganization.

12	Class B shares of the Credit Suisse Fund automatically convert to Class A shares of the Credit Suisse Fund after eight years, the effect of the automatic conversion feature is reflected in the Example that follows.. The Class B shares of the Credit Suisse Fund are charged a CDSC (as a percentage of offering or sale price, whichever is less) of 4% if redeemed during the first year decreasing 1% annually to 0% after the fourth year.

13 A CDSC of 1% is charged if you sell Class C shares within the first year after purchase.

These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in (1) the Credit Suisse Fund as it currently exists; (2) its corresponding Aberdeen Fund as it currently exists; and (3) the Aberdeen Fund if it acquires the corresponding Credit Suisse Fund (the “Pro forma”) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

1	If you buy and sell shares through a broker or other financial intermediary, the intermediary may charge a separate transaction fee.

2	The maximum sales charge imposed is reduced for larger purchases. Purchases of $1,000,000 or more are not subject to an initial sales charge but may be subject to a 1% CDSC (Contingent Deferred Sales Charge) on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. Credit Suisse Fund shareholders of Class B shares that are issued Class A shares of an Aberdeen Fund will not be subject to any maximum sales charge (load) upon exchange. Class A shares of the Aberdeen Fund purchased after the Reorganization will be subject to the applicable front end sales charge.

3	The sales charge on purchases of Class A shares is reduced or eliminated for purchases of $50,000 or more. Class A shares of the Aberdeen Fund received in connection with the Reorganization will not be subject to the front end sales charge. Class A shares of the Aberdeen Fund purchased after the Reorganization will be subject to the front end sales charge.

4	A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of up to 1.00% will apply to certain redemptions of Class A shares if purchased without sales charges and for which a finder’s fee was paid.

5	Imposed on shares redeemed or exchanged 30 days from date of purchase.

6	A redemption/exchange fee of 2% applies to shares redeemed or exchanged within 90 calendar days after the date they were purchased. This fee is intended to discourage frequent trading of Aberdeen Fund shares that can negatively affect the Aberdeen Fund’s performance. The fee does not apply to shares purchased through reinvested dividends or capital gains or shares held in certain omnibus accounts or retirement plans that cannot implement the fee. Shares issued in connection with the Reorganization will not be subject to the redemption fee.

7	The Credit Suisse Fund’s “Annual fund operating expenses” are based on actual expenses paid by the Credit Suisse Fund for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008. The Aberdeen Fund’s “Annual fund operating expenses” are annualized expenses based on actual fees and expenses of the Aberdeen Fund from its commencement of operations as an Aberdeen Fund on June 23, 2008.

8	“Other Expenses” include other ordinary operating expenses of the Aberdeen Fund including administrative services fees which are permitted to be up to 0.25% with respect to Class A, Class R and Institutional Service Class shares. The full 0.25% in administrative services fees is not reflected in “Other Expenses” at this time because the Aberdeen Fund does not currently anticipate selling its shares to intermediaries that charge the full amount permitted during the current fiscal year. The amount currently reflected in “Other Expenses” for administrative services fees is 0.06% for Class A shares, 0.03% for Class R shares and 0.00% for Institutional Service Class shares. If the maximum amount of administrative services fees were charged, the “Net annual fund operating expenses” would be higher.

9	Aberdeen Trust and AAMI have entered into a written contract limiting operating expenses to 1.49% for Class A, 2.24% for Class C, 1.74% for Class R, and 1.24% for Institutional Service Class, at least through February 28, 2010. This limit excludes certain Aberdeen Fund expenses, including any taxes, interest, brokerage fees, short-sale dividend expenses and administrative service fees. Aberdeen Trust is authorized to reimburse AAMI for management fees previously limited and/or for expenses previously paid by AAMI, provided, however that any reimbursements must be paid at a date not more than three years after the fiscal year in which AAMI limited the fees or reimbursed the expenses and the reimbursements do not cause the Aberdeen Fund to exceed the expense limitation in the agreement at the time the expenses are waived.

10	Credit Suisse Fund Class B shareholders will be issued Class A shares of the Aberdeen Fund upon Reorganization.

11	Class B shares of the Credit Suisse Fund automatically convert to Class A shares after eight years, the effect of the automatic conversion feature is reflected in the Example that follows. The Class B shares of the Credit Suisse Fund are charged a CDSC (as a percentage of offering or sale price, whichever is less) of 4% if redeemed during the first year decreasing 1% annually to 0% after the fourth year.

12	A CDSC of 1% is charged if you sell Class C shares within the first year after purchase.

Examples. These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in (1) each Credit Suisse Fund as it currently exists; (2) its corresponding Aberdeen Fund as it currently exists; and (3) the Aberdeen Fund if it acquires the corresponding Credit Suisse Fund (the “Pro forma”) with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. These examples assume that you invest $10,000 in a Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell all of your shares of that Fund at the end of those periods. It assumes a 5% return each year, no change in expenses and the expense limitations for one year only (if applicable). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower based on these assumptions your costs would be:

How does the Fund performance compare?

The Aberdeen Global Fixed Income Fund and Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund are newly organized shell Aberdeen Funds that have been created for the purpose of the Reorganization and will continue the same investment objectives and policies of the corresponding Credit Suisse Fund. Since these Aberdeen Funds will not commence operations until the Reorganization, they have no performance history. The tables below compare the performance of the Credit Suisse International Focus Fund and Aberdeen International Equity Fund and provide an indication of the risks of investing in a Fund by showing how the average annual total returns of a Fund’s shares compare to those of broad-based securities market indices. A Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The average annual total return calculation reflects the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A shares and the assumed CDSC for Class B and Class C shares, in each case based on the applicable Fund’s current sales charge schedules. Performance reflects expense limitations in effect. If expense limitations were not in place, a Fund’s performance would have been reduced.

These definitions apply to the after-tax returns.

Average Annual Total Returns Before Taxes. These returns do not reflect taxes on distributions on a Fund’s shares nor do they show how performance can be impacted by taxes when shares are redeemed (sold) by a shareholder.

Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions. These returns assume that taxes are paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A shares (i.e., dividends and capital gains) but do not reflect taxes that may be incurred upon redemption (sale) of the Class A shares at the end of the performance period.

Average Annual Total Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Shares. These returns reflect taxes paid on distributions on a Fund’s Class A shares and taxes applicable when the shares are redeemed (sold).

Note on Tax Rates. The after-tax performance figures are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates at the time of the distributions and do not reflect state and local taxes. In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from a redemption are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemption are added to the redemption proceeds.

The returns presented for the Aberdeen International Equity Fund for periods prior to June 23, 2008 reflect the performance of a predecessor fund (the “Predecessor Fund”). The Aberdeen International Equity Fund adopted the performance of the Predecessor Fund as the result of a reorganization on June 23, 2008 in which the Aberdeen International Equity Fund acquired all of the assets, subject to the liabilities, of the Predecessor Fund. The Aberdeen International Equity Fund and the Predecessor Fund have substantially similar investment objectives and strategies.

1 The Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index (net dividends) (Europe, Australasia, Far East) (MSCI^®EAFE) is a free float-
adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure developed-market equity performance, excluding the U.S. and Canada. It is the
exclusive property of Morgan Stanley Capital International Inc. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
2 The MSCI^®All Country World ex U.S. Index is an unmanaged, free float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index that measures the
performance of the stocks of companies in all countries except the United States. The Index does not pay sales charges, fees or expense. If sales
charges, fees and expenses were deducted, the actual returns of the Index would be lower. Individuals cannot invest directly in an index.
3 The MSCI^®All Country World ex U.S. Index reports returns on a monthly basis as of the last day of the month. Therefore, performance
information shown for the Index is since August 31, 2000.
4 Returns before the first offering of Class C shares (March 1, 2001) and Class R shares (December 30, 2003) by the Predecessor Fund are
based on the previous performance of Class B shares of the Predecessor Fund. This performance is substantially similar to what Class C and
Class R shares would have produced because all classes invest in the same portfolio of securities. Class C performance has been adjusted to
reflect applicable sales charges. Returns for Class R shares have been adjusted to eliminate sales charges that do not apply to that class, but have
not been adjusted to reflect any lower expenses.
5 A front-end sales charge that formerly applied to Class C shares of the Predecessor Fund was eliminated on April 1, 2004. Returns before
that date have not been adjusted to eliminate the effect of the sales charge.

Service Providers


CSAM currently serves as investment adviser to the Credit Suisse Funds. CSAM is an
indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group AG (“Credit Suisse”), the corporate
parent of CSAM. Credit Suisse Asset Management Limited (U.K.) (“CSAM U.K.”) serves as a
sub-adviser to all of the Credit Suisse Funds.

30

AAMI serves or will serve as the investment adviser to each of the Aberdeen Funds. AAMI is part of a global investment advisory business. Aberdeen’s international expertise lies with its affiliates: AAMISL, a United Kingdom corporation, and Aberdeen Asset Management Limited (“AAMAL”), a Singapore corporation. Both AAMISL and AAMAL are registered as investment advisers with the SEC. AAMI has hired AAMISL and AAMAL as sub-advisers to assist AAMI in its oversight of the Aberdeen Funds. To the extent that AAMISL or AAMAL do not have management over a specific portion of an Aberdeen Fund’s assets, AAMISL and AAMAL will assist AAMI with oversight for the Aberdeen Funds. When a portfolio manager team from AAMISL or AAMAL are allocated a specific portion of any of the Aberdeen Fund’s assets to manage, it will receive a fee from AAMI for its investment decision services. AAMI has allocated to AAMISL portfolio management responsibilities for the Aberdeen International Equity Fund. In the event shareholders approve the Reorganization Agreement, it is currently anticipated that AAMISL would be allocated some or all of the assets and portfolio management responsibilities of the Aberdeen Global Fixed Income Fund and Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund.

The Credit Suisse Funds and Aberdeen Funds will have different administrators, distributors, transfer agents and other service providers. For more information about investment advisory fees of each Credit Suisse Fund and its corresponding Aberdeen Fund and for a detailed description of the management of the Aberdeen Funds and other service providers to the Aberdeen Funds, please see “Comparison of Credit Suisse Funds and Aberdeen Funds – Who manages the Funds and Who are the Other Service Providers?” below.

Sales Load and Rule 12b-1 Arrangements for Credit Suisse and Aberdeen Funds

Credit Suisse Class A Shares. There is a maximum sales charge of 4.75% for the Credit Suisse Global Fixed Income Fund and a maximum sales charge of 5.75% for the Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund and Credit Suisse International Focus Fund. The sales charge is calculated as a percentage of the offering price for Class A shares. Sales charges are reduced as the amount increases, provided the amount invested reaches certain specified levels. There is no sales charge on purchases of $1,000,000 or more but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales load of 0.50% if a redemption is made within 12 months of purchase. Class A shares are subject to a Rule 12b-1 fee equal to an annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares.

Aberdeen Class A Shares. There is a maximum sales charge of 4.25% for the Aberdeen Global Fixed Income Fund and a maximum sales charge of 5.75% for the Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund and Aberdeen International Equity Fund.

Sales charges are reduced as the amount increases provided the amount invested reaches certain specified levels. There is no sales charge on purchases of $1,000,000 or more but they are subject to a contingent deferred sales load of 0.75% if a redemption is made within 18 months of purchase and a finder’s fee is paid by the Fund’s distributor or adviser to a financial intermediary. Class A shares are subject to a Rule 12b-1 fee equal to an annual rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares.

Class C Shares. For both the Credit Suisse Funds and Aberdeen Funds, there is no front end sales charge on Class C shares. However, Class C shares are subject to a CDSC of 1% of certain redemptions within the first year of purchase. Class C shares are subject to a Rule 12b-1 fee equal to an annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares.

Advisor Class Shares/Class R Shares. Advisor Class shares of the Credit Suisse Funds and Class R shares of the Aberdeen Fund are offered at net asset value with no front end or contingent deferred sales charge.

Common Class Shares. Common Class shares of the Credit Suisse Fund are offered at net asset value with no front end or contingent deferred sales charge and Common Class shares of the Credit Suisse Global Fixed Income Fund and Credit Suisse International Focus Fund are not subject to Rule 12b-1 fees.

The Credit Suisse Funds’ annual reports, which are incorporated by reference into the Statement of Additional Information, contain a discussion of each Credit Suisse Fund’s performance during the past fiscal year and shows per share information for each of the past five fiscal years or if a Credit Suisse Fund or share class has not been in operation for five years, for the life of the Credit Suisse Fund or share class. These documents also are available upon request. (See “More Information About the Funds” below.) The Aberdeen International Equity

Fund’s annual report is also incorporated by reference into its Statement of Additional Information. The Aberdeen Global Fixed Income Fund and the Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund are newly organized and have not yet commenced operations and thus have not published an annual or semi-annual report.

What are the principal risks associated with investments in the Funds?

Like all investments, an investment in a Credit Suisse Fund or Aberdeen Fund involves risk. There is no assurance that a Credit Suisse Fund or Aberdeen Fund will meet its investment objective. A Credit Suisse Fund’s or Aberdeen Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective will depend, among other things, on the portfolio managers’ analytical and portfolio management skills. As with most investments in mutual funds, the best results are achieved when investments in a Credit Suisse Fund or Aberdeen Fund are held for a number of years.

The following pages provide the risks of each Credit Suisse Fund and its corresponding Aberdeen Fund. Each corresponding Aberdeen Fund’s risks are substantially similar to those of the Credit Suisse Fund. A discussion of the principal risks of each Fund follows:

Credit Suisse Global Fixed Income Fund/Aberdeen Global Fixed Income Fund

Credit Risk. Credit risk refers to the likelihood that an issuer will default in the payment of the principal or interest on an instrument and is broadly gauged by the credit ratings of the securities in which the Funds invest. However, ratings are only the opinions of rating agencies and are not guarantees of the quality of the securities. In addition, the depth and liquidity of the market for a fixed income security may affect its credit risk. Credit risk of a security may change over its life and rated securities are often reviewed and may be subject to down grade by a rating agency. A fund purchasing bonds faces the risk that the creditworthiness of an issuer may decline, causing the value of the bonds to decline. In addition, an issuer may not be able to make timely payments on the interest and/or principal on the bonds it has issued. Because the issuers of high-yield bonds or junk bonds (bonds rated below the fourth highest category) may be in uncertain financial health, the prices of these bonds may be more vulnerable to bad economic news or even the expectation of bad news, than investment-grade bonds. In some cases, bonds, particularly high-yield bonds, may decline in credit quality or go into default. Because the Funds may invest in securities not paying current interest or in securities already in default, these risks may be more pronounced. Fixed income securities are not traded on exchanges. The over-the-counter market may be illiquid and there may be times when no counterparty is willing to purchase or sell certain securities. The nature of the market may make valuations difficult or unreliable.

Foreign Investment Risk. Foreign investments involve certain special risks, including:

Political Risk. Some foreign governments have limited the outflow of profits to investors abroad, imposed restrictions on the exchange or export of foreign currency, extended diplomatic disputes to include trade and financial relations, seized foreign investment and imposed higher taxes.
Sovereign Risk. An issuer of non-U.S. sovereign debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay the

principal or interest when due. The Funds may have limited recourse to compel

payment in the event of a default.

Information Risk. Companies based in foreign markets are usually not subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices as stringent as those in the U.S. Therefore, their financial reports may present an incomplete, untimely or misleading picture of a company, as compared to the financial reports required in the U.S.
Liquidity Risk. Investments that trade less can be more difficult or more costly to buy, or to sell, than more liquid or active investments. This liquidity risk is a factor of the trading volume of a particular investment, as well as the size and liquidity of the entire local market. On the whole, foreign exchanges are smaller and less liquid than U.S. exchanges. This can make buying and selling certain investments more difficult and costly. Relatively small transactions in some instances can have a disproportionately large effect on the price and supply of securities. In certain situations, it may become virtually impossible to sell an investment in an orderly fashion at a price that approaches portfolio management’s estimate of its value. For the same reason, it may at times be difficult to value the Funds’ foreign investments.
Regulatory Risk. There is generally less government regulation of foreign markets, companies and securities dealers than in the U.S.
Currency Risk. The Funds invest in securities denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar may affect the U.S. dollar value of foreign securities or the income or gain received on these securities.
Limited Legal Recourse Risk. Legal remedies for investors may be more limited than the legal remedies available in the U.S.
Trading Practice Risk. Brokerage commissions and other fees are generally higher for foreign investments than for U.S. investments. The procedures and rules governing foreign transactions and custody may also involve delays in payment, delivery or recovery of money or investments.
Taxes. Foreign withholding and certain other taxes may reduce the amount of income available to distribute to shareholders of the Funds. In addition, special U.S. tax considerations may apply to the Funds’ foreign investments.
Access Risk. Some countries may restrict the Funds’ access to investments or offer terms that are less advantageous than those for local investors. This could limit the attractive investment opportunities available to the Funds.
Operational Risk. Some countries have less-developed securities markets (and related transaction, registration and custody practices) that could subject the Funds to losses from fraud, negligence, delay or other actions.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rates have an effect on the value of the Funds’ fixed income investments because the value of those investments will vary as interest rates fluctuate. Generally, fixed income securities will decrease in value when interest rates rise and when

interest rates decline, the value of fixed income securities can be expected to rise. The longer the effective maturity of the Funds’ securities, the more sensitive the Funds will be to interest rate changes. (As a general rule, a 1% rise in interest rates means a 1% fall in value for every year of duration. Duration is a measure of the average life of a fixed-income security that was developed as a more precise alternative to the concepts of “term to maturity” or “average dollar weighted maturity” as measures of “volatility” or “risk” associated with changes in interest rates. With respect to the composition of a fixed-income portfolio, the longer the duration of the portfolio, generally, the greater the anticipated potential for total return, with, however, greater attendant interest rate risk and price volatility than for a portfolio with a shorter duration.) As interest rates decline, the issuers of securities held by the Fund may prepay principal earlier than scheduled, forcing the Funds to reinvest in lower-yielding securities. Prepayment may reduce the Funds’ income. As interest rates increase, slower than expected principal payments may extend the average life of fixed income securities. This will have the effect of locking in a below-market interest rate, increasing the Funds’ duration and reducing the value of such a security. Because the Funds may invest in mortgage-related securities, they are more vulnerable to both of these risks.

Market Risk. Deteriorating market conditions might cause a general weakness in the market that reduces the prices of securities in that market. Developments in a particular class of bonds or the stock market could also adversely affect the Funds by reducing the relative attractiveness of bonds as an investment. Also, to the extent that the Funds emphasize bonds from any given industry, they could be hurt if that industry does not do well.

Speculative Exposure Risk. To the extent that a derivative or practice is not used as a hedge, the Funds are directly exposed to its risks. Gains or losses from speculative positions in a derivative may be much greater than the derivative’s original cost. For example, potential losses from writing uncovered call options on currencies and from speculative short positions on currencies are unlimited.

Other factors that could affect performance include:

portfolio management could be wrong in the analysis of industries, companies, economic trends, the relative attractiveness of different securities or other matters.
at times, market conditions might make it hard to value some investments or to get an attractive price for them.

If the value of the Funds’ investments goes down, you may lose money.

Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund/Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund

Foreign Investment Risk. Foreign investments involve certain special risks, including:

Political Risk. Some foreign governments have limited the outflow of profits to investors abroad, imposed restrictions on the exchange or export of foreign currency, extended diplomatic disputes to include trade and financial relations, seized foreign investment and imposed higher taxes.

Sovereign Risk. An issuer of non-U.S. sovereign debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay the principal or interest when due. The Funds may have limited recourse to compel payment in the event of a default.
Information Risk. Companies based in foreign markets are usually not subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices as stringent as those in the U.S. Therefore, their financial reports may present an incomplete, untimely or misleading picture of a company, as compared to the financial reports required in the U.S.
Liquidity Risk. Investments that trade less can be more difficult or more costly to buy, or to sell, than more liquid or active investments. This liquidity risk is a factor of the trading volume of a particular investment, as well as the size and liquidity of the entire local market. On the whole, foreign exchanges are smaller and less liquid than U.S. exchanges. This can make buying and selling certain investments more difficult and costly. Relatively small transactions in some instances can have a disproportionately large effect on the price and supply of securities. In certain situations, it may become virtually impossible to sell an investment in an orderly fashion at a price that approaches portfolio management’s estimate of its value. For the same reason, it may at times be difficult to value the Funds’ foreign investments.
Regulatory Risk. There is generally less government regulation of foreign markets, companies and securities dealers than in the U.S.
Currency Risk. The Funds invest in securities denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar may affect the U.S. dollar value of foreign securities or the income or gain received on these securities.
Limited Legal Recourse Risk. Legal remedies for investors may be more limited than the legal remedies available in the U.S.
Trading Practice Risk. Brokerage commissions and other fees are generally higher for foreign investments than for U.S. investments. The procedures and rules governing foreign transactions and custody may also involve delays in payment, delivery or recovery of money or investments.
Taxes. Foreign withholding and certain other taxes may reduce the amount of income available to distribute to shareholders of the Funds. In addition, special U.S. tax considerations may apply to the Funds’ foreign investments.
Access Risk. Some countries may restrict the Funds’ access to investments or offer terms that are less advantageous than those for local investors. This could limit the attractive investment opportunities available to the Funds.
Operational Risk. Some countries have less-developed securities markets (and related transaction, registration and custody practices) that could subject the Funds to losses from fraud, negligence, delay or other actions.

Management Risk. The Funds bear the risk that the actively managed approach used by the portfolio managers to identify U.S. securities for investment will not be successful in identifying securities that will help the Funds achieve their investment objectives, causing the Funds to underperform its benchmark or other funds with a similar investment objective.

Special-situation companies. “Special situations” are unusual developments that affect a company’s market value. Examples include mergers, acquisitions and reorganizations. Securities of special-situation companies may decline in value if the anticipated benefits of the special situation do not materialize.

Start-up and other small companies. Start-up and other small companies may have less-experienced management, limited product lines, unproven track records or inadequate capital reserves. Their securities may carry increased market, liquidity, information and other risks. Key information about the company may be inaccurate or unavailable.

Other factors that could affect performance include:

portfolio management could be wrong in the analysis of industries, companies, economic trends, the relative attractiveness of different securities or other matters.
at times, market conditions might make it hard to value some investments or to get an attractive price for them.

If the value of the Funds’ investments goes down, you may lose money.

Credit Suisse International Focus Fund/Aberdeen International Equity Fund

Stock Market Risk. A Fund could lose value if the individual stocks in which it invests or overall stock markets in which such stocks trade go down.

Foreign Risk. Foreign securities may be more volatile, harder to price and less liquid than U.S. securities.

Developing Markets Risk. A magnification of the risks that apply to all foreign investments. These risks are greater for securities of companies in developing market countries because the countries may have less stable governments, more volatile currencies and less established markets.

Selection Risk. The investment team may select securities that underperform the stock market, the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country World ex U.S. Index (SM), or other funds with similar investment objectives and strategies.

Small- and Mid-Cap Securities Risk. In general, stocks of small-and mid-cap companies may be more volatile and less liquid than larger company stocks.

Derivatives Risk. The risk of disproportionately increased losses and/or reduced opportunities for gains when the financial asset or measure to which the derivative is linked changes in unexpected ways.

Foreign Investment Tax Risk. Foreign withholding and certain other taxes may reduce the amount of income available to distribute to shareholders of the Funds. In addition, special U.S. tax considerations may apply to the Funds’ foreign investments.

Comment on Differences Regarding Principal Risks.

The Aberdeen International Equity Fund, unlike the Credit Suisse International Focus Fund, highlights developing markets, small and mid cap securities and derivatives risks as principal risks.

The Credit Suisse International Focus Fund highlights focus risk as a principal risk and, as a result, may be subject to greater volatility with respect to its investments than a fund that invests in a larger number of securities.

REASONS FOR THE REORGANIZATION

Credit Suisse, the corporate parent of the Credit Suisse Funds’ investment adviser, CSAM, has signed an agreement to sell part of its Global Investors traditional asset management business (the “Acquired Businesses”) in return for up to 24.97% of the share capital of Aberdeen PLC (the “Transaction”). The Transaction includes the majority of the Global Investors businesses in Europe, the United States, and Asia Pacific. The Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals in various jurisdictions and approval by Aberdeen PLC shareholders, and is expected to close in one or more stages in the second or third quarter of 2009. The Acquired Businesses include CSAM U.K., which is the investment sub-adviser to the Credit Suisse Funds.

Following the announcement of the Transaction, the Credit Suisse Funds entered into a Reorganization Agreement with the Aberdeen Trust, on behalf of each of the Aberdeen Funds. The Reorganization Agreement provides that each Credit Suisse Fund will transfer all of its assets and liabilities to its corresponding Aberdeen Fund in exchange for shares of the Aberdeen Fund and those shares will be transferred to shareholders of the Credit Suisse Fund in complete liquidation of the Credit Suisse Fund as shown in the chart below in the section “How will the Reorganization be carried out?” After the Reorganization, Credit Suisse Fund shareholders will be shareholders of their corresponding Aberdeen Fund.

The Credit Suisse Boards, including the Directors who are deemed to be independent directors (each, an “Independent Directors” and, collectively, the “Independent Director”) under the 1940 Act, on behalf of the Credit Suisse Funds, determined, based on the considerations described below, that the Reorganization would be in the best interests of the Credit Suisse

Funds and that the interests of the Credit Suisse Funds’ existing shareholders would not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.

At meetings of the Credit Suisse Boards held on February 18, 2009 and March 11, 2009, information and analysis about the proposed Reorganization and AAMI and its investment advisory affiliates (collectively, the “Aberdeen Advisers”) were initially presented to the Credit Suisse Boards for consideration and discussion. The Credit Suisse Boards had the opportunity to meet with, and ask questions of, the Aberdeen Advisers. The Credit Suisse Boards considered the terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement, the information about the management capabilities and performance of the Aberdeen Advisers and the infrastructure and experience of the Aberdeen Advisers in administering the operations of the Aberdeen Funds. The Credit Suisse Boards, in considering information about the Reorganization and the Aberdeen Advisers, were advised by counsel that is experienced in 1940 Act matters and that is independent of CSAM and AAMI.

The Credit Suisse Boards considered the sale of the Acquired Businesses to Aberdeen PLC as it relates to the Reorganization, and considered the Reorganization in connection with the overall Transaction and as an undertaking separate from the Transaction. The Credit Suisse Boards evaluated and considered the overall capabilities of the Aberdeen Advisers as investment advisers and Aberdeen Fund Distributors LLC (“AFD”) as a distributor. The Credit Suisse Boards received and considered a presentation from the Aberdeen Advisers’ representatives regarding the history and current operations of the Aberdeen Advisers and AFD, both in the United States and worldwide. The Credit Suisse Boards considered the current operations and infrastructure of the Aberdeen Advisers with respect to the Aberdeen Funds and the ability of the Aberdeen Advisers to provide similar services to the shareholders of the Credit Suisse Funds, whether or not current Credit Suisse or CSAM personnel become employed by the Aberdeen Advisers following the Transaction.

The Credit Suisse Boards noted that the investment objectives for the Credit Suisse Funds are substantially similar to the investment objectives of the Aberdeen Funds. The Credit Suisse Boards considered that the Aberdeen Global Fixed Income Fund and the Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund are newly organized investment companies created for purposes of this Reorganization. The Credit Suisse Boards noted that the Aberdeen Advisers had existing personnel and expertise in the relevant investment strategies. The presentations to the Credit Suisse Boards also explained that the investment strategies, restrictions, and risks of the Credit Suisse Funds are substantially similar to the investment strategies, restrictions, and risks of the Aberdeen Funds. See “Summary: How do the investment objectives and investment strategies of each Credit Suisse Fund and its corresponding Aberdeen Fund Compare.”

In deciding whether to recommend approval of the Reorganization to shareholders, the Credit Suisse Boards also considered the fees and expense ratios of the Credit Suisse Funds and the Aberdeen Funds and the effect of existing and proposed fee waivers and/or expense limitations on such expense ratios. The Credit Suisse Boards also considered the performance history of the Aberdeen International Equity Fund and the performance of all Aberdeen Funds in general. The Credit Suisse Boards also considered that AAMI has agreed for a period of two years following the consummation of the Reorganization to limit the next expense ratio of each

class of each Aberdeen Fund so that it does not exceed the net expense ratio of the corresponding class of the corresponding Credit Suisse Fund in effect at the time of the Reorganization.

The Credit Suisse Boards were informed by CSAM that the Credit Suisse Funds’ shareholders would not bear the costs related to the Reorganization, and that the Credit Suisse Funds will not bear any fees and expenses of the Reorganization, including, without limitation, costs of legal advice, accounting, printing, mailing, proxy solicitation, and transfer taxes. The Credit Suisse Boards were made aware that the costs of the Reorganization would be allocated between CSAM and AAMI. CSAM informed the Credit Suisse Boards that the Reorganization will be structured as a tax-free reorganization.

The Credit Suisse Boards found that the Reorganization would benefit the shareholders of the Credit Suisse Funds based on the following conclusions:

AAMI has a favorable qualification and background, as well as qualified personnel and a stable financial condition.
The Aberdeen Funds’ investment objectives, strategies, restrictions and portfolio management are substantially similar to the Credit Suisse Funds.
There will be no fund expense increases for the Aberdeen Funds for the first two years following the Reorganization.
The Aberdeen Funds will have funding, resources and distribution channels that may enable the Aberdeen Funds to enjoy increased growth and possible economies of scale.
The Credit Suisse Funds will not bear any costs of the Reorganization.

The Credit Suisse Boards recommend that shareholders approve the Reorganization. The Credit Suisse Boards’ recommendation regarding, and any shareholder approval of, the Reorganization Agreement is not conditioned on the consummation of the Transaction. The Reorganization Agreement is subject to certain closing conditions and termination rights, including the Credit Suisse Boards’ right to terminate the Reorganization Agreement if it determines that proceeding with the Reorganization is inadvisable for the Credit Suisse Funds, which may be the case if the Transaction is not consummated. In the event that a Credit Suisse Board determines not to proceed with the Reorganization with respect to a Credit Suisse Fund, the Credit Suisse Board will consider other possible courses of action for the Credit Suisse Fund.

On March 11, 2009 at a special meeting of the Credit Suisse Board, the Credit Suisse Boards concluded that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Credit Suisse Funds and that the interests of the shareholders of the Credit Suisse Funds will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. The Credit Suisse Boards further recommended that shareholders of the Credit Suisse Funds approve the Reorganization. The Directors approving the Reorganization Agreement and making the foregoing determinations included all of the Independent Directors.

On March 10, 2009, the Aberdeen Board also concluded that the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Aberdeen Funds and that the interests of the Aberdeen International Equity Fund shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.

Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act

Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act provides a safe harbor for an investment adviser of a registered investment company (or any affiliated persons of the investment adviser) to receive any amount or benefit in connection with a sale of securities or other interest in the investment adviser, provided that two conditions are satisfied.

First, an “unfair burden” may not be imposed on the investment company as a result of the sale, or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable to the sale. The term “unfair burden,” as defined in the 1940 Act, includes any arrangement during the two-year period after the sale whereby the investment adviser (or predecessor or successor adviser), or any “interested person” of the adviser (as defined in the 1940 Act), receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the investment company or its security holders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services), or from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the investment company (other than ordinary fees for bona fide principal underwriting services).

Second, during the three-year period after the sale, at least 75% of the members of the investment company’s board of directors cannot be “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the investment adviser or its predecessor (referred to as “Independent Directors” or “Independent Trustees”).

CSAM and AAMI believe there are no circumstances arising from the Reorganization that might result in the imposition of an “unfair burden” on any Credit Suisse Fund as defined in Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act. Moreover, AAMI has agreed that for two years after the consummation of the Reorganization, it will refrain from imposing any unfair burden on any Credit Suisse Fund, which includes refraining from proposing any increase in fees paid by an Aberdeen Fund to the Aberdeen Advisers. At the present time, over 80% of the Aberdeen Board are classified as Independent Trustees and expect to remain so classified following the sale of the Acquired Businesses. Aberdeen Trust has agreed to continue to comply with the Aberdeen Board’s current policy that requires that at least 75% of the Board members are classified as Independent Trustees (that is, not “interested persons” of CSAM or AAMI) and would not seek to change it during the three-year period after the completion of the Proposed Transaction.

FOR THE REASONS DISCUSSED ABOVE, THE CREDIT SUISSE BOARDS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU VOTE FOR PROPOSAL 1.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATION AND THE REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT

This is only a summary of the Reorganization Agreement. You should read the actual Reorganization Agreement relating to the Reorganization, which is attached as Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and is incorporated herein by reference.

How will the Reorganization be carried out?

First, the Reorganization must be approved by shareholders of each Credit Suisse Fund, voting separately. In the event that shareholders of a particular Credit Suisse Fund do not approve the Reorganization Agreement of that Fund with and into the corresponding Aberdeen Fund, the failure of one Credit Suisse Fund to approve its Reorganization will not affect the Reorganization of the other Credit Suisse Funds. In the event a Credit Suisse Fund fails to receive sufficient votes for approval of the Reorganization, management will consider whether to continue further solicitations. If the shareholders of any of the Credit Suisse Funds do not approve the Reorganization Agreement, the Credit Suisse Boards, will consider other possible courses of action for the Credit Suisse Funds that did not approve the Reorganization Agreement.

The Credit Suisse Boards’ recommendation regarding, and shareholder approval of, the Reorganization Agreement is not conditioned on the consummation of the Transaction. The Reorganization Agreement is subject to certain closing conditions and termination rights, including the Credit Suisse Boards’ right to terminate the Reorganization Agreement if it determines that proceeding with the Reorganization is inadvisable for the Credit Suisse Funds, which may be the case if the Transaction is not consummated. In the event that a Credit Suisse Board determines not to proceed with the Reorganization with respect to a Credit Suisse Fund, the Credit Suisse Board will consider other possible courses of action for the Credit Suisse Fund.

If the shareholders of a Credit Suisse Fund approve the Reorganization Agreement, the Reorganization will take place after the parties to the Reorganization Agreement satisfy various conditions. The Reorganization Agreement contains a number of conditions precedent that must occur before either a Credit Suisse Fund or Aberdeen Fund is obligated to proceed with the Reorganization. These include, among others, that (1) shareholders of a Credit Suisse Fund approve the Reorganization Agreement; (2) a Credit Suisse Fund receives from Aberdeen Trust’s counsel and Aberdeen Trust receives from Credit Suisse Fund’s counsel certain opinions supporting the representations and warranties made by each party regarding legal status and compliance with certain laws and regulations (including an opinion from Aberdeen Trust’s counsel that the shares issued in the Reorganization will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable); (3) both the Credit Suisse Fund and Aberdeen Trust receive from Aberdeen Trust’s counsel the tax opinion described below under “What are the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization?”; and (4) both Credit Suisse Funds and Aberdeen Trust receive certain certificates from the others’ officers concerning the continuing accuracy of its representations and warranties made in the Reorganization Agreement. The Reorganization Agreement contains a number of representations and warranties made by each Credit Suisse Fund to Aberdeen Trust related to, among other things, its legal status, compliance with laws and regulations and financial position and also contains similar representations and warranties made by Aberdeen Trust to the Credit Suisse Funds.

If the shareholders of the Credit Suisse Funds approve the Reorganization Agreement and various conditions are satisfied, each Credit Suisse Fund will deliver to its corresponding Aberdeen Fund its assets and liabilities on the closing date of the Reorganization. In the exchange, each Credit Suisse Fund will receive the Aberdeen Fund’s shares to be distributed pro rata to the Credit Suisse Fund’s shareholders. Each shareholder of a Credit Suisse Fund will receive the number of full and fractional shares of its corresponding Aberdeen Fund and share class equal in value to the value of the shares of the Credit Suisse Fund as follows:

The value of the assets to be delivered to the Aberdeen Funds shall be the value of such assets computed as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) on the last business day immediately prior to the closing date. A business day is any day that the NYSE is open for business (“Business Day”). The Reorganization is scheduled to occur on a date agreed to by the parties to the Reorganization Agreement (hereafter, the “Closing Date”), which is currently expected to be a date following the closing of the Transaction in the early third quarter of 2009. The liquidation and distribution with respect to each class of a Credit Suisse Fund’s shares will be accomplished by the transfer of the Aberdeen Fund shares then credited to the account of the Credit Suisse Fund on the books of the corresponding Aberdeen Fund to newly-opened accounts on the books of that Aberdeen Fund in the names of the Credit Suisse Fund shareholders. All issued and outstanding shares of the Credit Suisse Fund will simultaneously be canceled on the books of the Credit Suisse Fund. The Aberdeen Fund will not issue certificates representing the Aberdeen Fund shares issued in connection with such exchange.

After such distribution, the Credit Suisse Funds will take all necessary steps under the 1940 Act, applicable state law, their respective governing instruments, and any other applicable law to deregister as investment companies and effect a complete dissolution under Maryland law.

The Reorganization Agreement may be amended as may be deemed necessary by the authorized officers of each Credit Suisse Fund and Aberdeen Trust provided that following the shareholder meeting no amendment may change the provisions for determining the number of shares to be issued to Credit Suisse shareholders to the detriment of shareholders without their further approval. The Reorganization Agreement may be terminated if at any time prior to the Closing Date the Credit Suisse Boards or the Aberdeen Board concludes that the Reorganization is inadvisable. The Reorganization Agreement may also be terminated by (i) written consent of the parties; (ii) following a material breach by one party of the representations, warranties or covenants which is not cured within ten Business Days; or (iii) the occurrence of an event that has a material adverse effect on one of the parties.

Prior to the Reorganization, Credit Suisse International Focus Fund will have declared a dividend or dividends, which together with all previous dividends, will have the effect of distributing to shareholders all of its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to the deduction for dividends paid) and net realized capital gains, if any, through the Closing Date. This distribution will be taxable to shareholders of Credit Suisse International Focus Fund and will include any capital gains resulting from portfolio turnover prior to the Reorganization.

If the Reorganization is approved, Credit Suisse Fund shareholders who do not wish to have their shares exchanged for shares of an Aberdeen Fund as part of the Reorganization should redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the Reorganization. If you redeem your shares, you may recognize a taxable gain or loss based on the difference between your shares prior to the Reorganization and your redemption proceeds may be reduced by any applicable sales load.

Who will pay the expenses of the Reorganization?

The expenses resulting from the Credit Suisse Funds’ participation in the Reorganization, including solicitation of proxies will be allocated between CSAM and AAMI, regardless of whether the Reorganization is consummated.

What are the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization?

Treatment as a Tax-Free Reorganization. The Reorganization is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes under Section 368(a)(1) of the Code. Based on certain assumptions made and representations to be made on behalf of the Credit Suisse Funds and the Aberdeen Funds, it is expected that Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP will provide a legal opinion to the effect that, for federal income tax purposes:(i) shareholders of a Credit Suisse Fund will not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the exchange of their shares of the Credit Suisse Fund for shares of the corresponding Aberdeen Fund; (ii) no gain or loss will be recognized by any Credit Suisse Fund (a) upon the transfer of its assets to the applicable Aberdeen Fund in exchange for the Aberdeen Fund shares and the assumption by each Aberdeen Fund of the liabilities of the applicable Credit Suisse Fund or (b) upon the distribution of the

Aberdeen Fund shares by each Credit Suisse Fund to its shareholders in liquidation, as contemplated in the Reorganization Agreement; (iii) neither an Aberdeen Fund nor its shareholders will recognize any gain or loss upon receipt of the assets of a Credit Suisse Fund; and (iv) the holding period and aggregate tax basis for Aberdeen Fund shares that are received by a Credit Suisse Fund shareholder will be the same as the holding period and aggregate tax basis of the shares of the Credit Suisse Fund previously held by such shareholder.

Neither Credit Suisse nor Aberdeen has sought a tax ruling from the IRS. Opinions of counsel are not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service or the courts. If the Reorganization is consummated but does not qualify as a tax free reorganization under the Code, and thus is taxable, a Credit Suisse Fund would recognize gain or loss on the transfer of its assets to the corresponding Aberdeen Fund and each shareholder of the Credit Suisse Fund would recognize a taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between its tax basis in its Credit Suisse Fund shares and the fair market value of the shares of the Aberdeen Fund it received.

General Limitation on Capital Losses. Capital losses can generally be carried forward to each of the eight (8) years succeeding the loss year to offset future capital gains. Each Aberdeen Fund will inherit the tax attributes of the corresponding Credit Suisse Fund, including any available capital loss carryforwards, as of the Closing Date. It is not expected that any such capital loss carryforwards of the Credit Suisse Global Fixed Income Fund and Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund will be subject to an annual limitation for federal income tax purposes in connection with the Reorganization because each Reorganization should either: (i) qualify as a type “F” tax-free reorganization under the Code, including a mere change in identity, form or place of reorganization of one corporation, however effected; or (ii) not involve more than a 50% change of ownership.

Limitation on Capital Losses – Credit Suisse International Focus Fund and Aberdeen International Equity Fund Reorganization. Based on the respective net asset values of the Credit Suisse International Focus Fund and Aberdeen International Equity Fund as of October 31, 2008, the Reorganization will result in a more than 50% “change in ownership” of Credit Suisse International Focus Fund, as the smaller of the two Funds. As a result, the capital loss carryovers (together with any current year loss and net unrealized depreciation in the value of investments, collectively referred to as “aggregate capital loss carryovers”) of Credit Suisse International Focus Fund will be subject to an annual limitation for federal income tax purposes. The aggregate tax basis capital loss carryovers of Credit Suisse International Focus Fund, as compared to those of Aberdeen International Equity Fund, and the approximate annual limitation on the use of Credit Suisse International Focus Fund’s aggregate capital loss carryovers following the Reorganization are as follows:

	Credit Suisse	Aberdeen
	International	International
	Focus Fund	Equity Fund

Net Asset Value as of 10/31/2008	$137,015,591	$250,369,388
Long-Term Tax-Exempt Rate (Mar 2009)	5.49%
Approximate Annual Limitation (3)	$7,522,156	n/a

(1)	As of the fiscal year end of each Fund, 10/31/2008.

(2)	Does not include current year losses, if any.

(3)	The actual limitation will equal the aggregate net asset value of the Credit Suisse International Focus Fund on the closing date multiplied by the long-term tax-exempt rate for ownership changes during the month in which the Reorganization closes; such limitation is increased by the amount of any built-in gain, i.e., unrealized appreciation in value of investments, of Credit Suisse International Focus Fund on the closing date that is recognized in a taxable year.

This annual limitation on use of Credit Suisse International Focus Fund’s aggregate capital loss carryovers may result in some portion of such carryovers expiring unutilized, depending on the facts at time of closing the Reorganization. However, the aggregate capital loss carryovers of Aberdeen International Equity Fund will continue to be available, provided, among other things, that the Aberdeen International Equity Fund is the larger of the two Funds on the Closing Date. This being the case, the benefits of Aberdeen International Equity Fund’s aggregate capital loss carryovers will accrue post-Reorganization to the shareholders of both Funds, including those of Credit Suisse International Focus Fund. This might be viewed as resulting in some reduction in the available tax benefits for the shareholders of Aberdeen International Equity Fund, although such capital loss carryovers are a tax benefit only to the extent such losses offset future capital gains.

Buying shares in a fund that has material unrealized appreciation in portfolio investments may be less tax efficient than buying shares in a fund with no such unrealized appreciation in value of investments. Conversely, buying shares in a fund with unrealized depreciation in value of investments may be more tax efficient because such deprecation when realized will offset other capital gains that might otherwise be distributed to shareholders causing the shareholders to pay tax on such distributions. These same considerations apply in the case of a reorganization. The shareholders of Credit Suisse International Focus Fund and Aberdeen International Equity Fund will be subject to either greater or less appreciation (depreciation) in value of portfolio investments as a result of the Reorganization. Based on Credit Suisse International Focus Fund’s unrealized depreciation in value of investments on a tax basis as a percentage of its net asset value as of October 31, 2008 of -27.8 % compared to that of Aberdeen International Equity Fund of -43.0%, and of -38% on a combined basis post-Reorganization, the shareholders of Credit Suisse International Focus Fund are being exposed to slightly more unrealized depreciation in value of investments post-Reorganization relative to what they are presently exposed.

Tracking Your Basis and Holding Period; State and Local Taxes. After the Reorganization, you will continue to be responsible for tracking the adjusted tax basis and holding period for your shares for federal income tax purposes. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the effect, if any, of the Reorganization in light of your individual circumstances. You should also consult your tax adviser about the state and local tax consequences, if any, of the Reorganization because this discussion only relates to the federal income tax consequences.

What should I know about shares of the Aberdeen Funds?

If the Reorganization is approved for the Credit Suisse Funds, full and fractional shares of the Aberdeen Funds will be distributed to shareholders of the Credit Suisse Funds in accordance with the procedures described above. When issued, each share will be validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable and will have no pre-emptive or conversion rights. The shares of the Aberdeen Funds will be recorded electronically in each shareholder’s account. The Aberdeen Funds will then send a confirmation to each shareholder. As of the Closing Date, any outstanding certificates, if any, representing shares of the Credit Suisse Funds will be cancelled. For purposes of calculating any applicable contingent deferred sales charges on Class A shares and Class C shares, the period you have held your shares in the Credit Suisse Funds will be counted toward, and carried over as, the holding period of the shares you receive in the Aberdeen Funds as part of the Reorganization. Class B Shareholders of the Credit Suisse Funds will receive Class A shares of the Aberdeen Funds as part of the Reorganization and those Class A shares received as part of the Reorganization are not subject to a front-end sale charge or a contingent deferred sales charge on any subsequent redemption. Future purchases of Class A shares would be subject to the typical sales charges.

What are the capitalizations of the Funds and what might the capitalization be after the Reorganization?

The capitalization tables starting on the next page set forth, as of October 31, 2008, the separate capitalizations of the Credit Suisse Funds and the Aberdeen Funds, and the estimated capitalization of the Aberdeen Funds as adjusted to give effect to the proposed Reorganization. The following are examples of the number of shares of an Aberdeen Fund that would be exchanged for the shares of the corresponding Credit Suisse Fund if the Reorganization was consummated on October 31, 2008 and do not reflect the number of shares or value of shares that would actually be received if the Reorganization, as depicted, occurs. Each shareholder of a Credit Suisse Fund will receive the number of full and fractional shares of its corresponding Aberdeen Fund equal in value to the value (as of the last Business Day prior to the Closing Date) of the shares of the Credit Suisse Fund. The Aberdeen Global Fixed Income Fund and the Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund are shell funds, without assets or liabilities, and are being created solely for the purpose of acquiring the assets and liabilities of the corresponding Credit Suisse Fund. The Aberdeen International Equity Fund is an existing fund and has current net assets for each share class. The Credit Suisse Global Fixed Income Fund, Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund and Aberdeen International Equity Fund will be the accounting survivor for financial statement purposes.

Aberdeen Funds. AAMI, a Delaware corporation formed in 1994, serves as the investment adviser to each Aberdeen Fund. AAMI’s principal place of business is 1735 Market Street, 37th Floor, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103. AAMI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aberdeen PLC, which is the parent company of an asset management group managing approximately $158 billion in assets as of December 31, 2008 for a range of pension funds, financial institutions, investment trusts, unit trusts, offshore funds, charities and private clients, in addition to U.S. registered investment companies. AAMI will manage and supervise the investments of each Aberdeen Fund’s assets on a discretionary basis.

AAMISL, a United Kingdom corporation, and AAMAL, a Singapore corporation, will each serve as sub-adviser to the Aberdeen Funds. AAMISL and AAMAL are both affiliates of AAMI. AAMISL is located at One Bow Churchyard, London, England EC4M9HH. AAMAL is located at 21 Church Street, #01-01 Capital Square Two, Singapore 049480. Both AAMISL and AAMAL are registered as investment advisers with the SEC. AAMI, AAMISL and AAMAL are each wholly owned subsidiaries of Aberdeen PLC, 10 Queens Terrance, Aberdeen, United Kingdom AB101Y6. To the extent that AAMISL or AAMAL do not have management over a specific portion of an Aberdeen Fund’s assets, AAMISL and AAMAL will assist AAMI with oversight for the Aberdeen Funds. When portfolio manager teams from AAMISL or AAMAL are allocated a specific portion of any of the Fund’s assets to manage it will receive a fee from AAMI for its investment decision services. AAMI has allocated to AAMISL portfolio management responsibilities for the Aberdeen International Equity Fund. It is currently anticipated that AAMI would allocate to AAMISL some or all of the assets and portfolio management responsibilities of the Aberdeen Global Fixed Income Fund and the Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund.

A discussion of the basis for the Credit Suisse Boards’ approval of a Credit Suisse Fund’s investment advisory agreement is available in the Credit Suisse Funds’ annual reports to shareholders for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008. A discussion of the Aberdeen Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreement for the Aberdeen International Equity Fund is available in that Aberdeen Funds’ annual report to shareholders for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 and the discussion of the Aberdeen Board’s approval of the Aberdeen Global Fixed Income Fund’s and Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund’s investment advisory agreement, will become available in such Aberdeen Funds’ first shareholder report after the Closing Date.

A number of the existing portfolio managers, senior professionals, management team members and other key employees of Credit Suisse may be offered employment with the Aberdeen Group and those that accept may be integrated within the portfolio management team that will be managing the Aberdeen Funds following the Reorganization. There can be no assurance, however, that any portfolio manager or other employee of Credit Suisse or CSAM U.K. that is part of the Acquired Businesses will be employed by the Aberdeen Group before or after the completion of the Transaction.

AAMI has agreed for a period of two years following the consummation of the Reorganization to limit the next expense ratio of each class of each Aberdeen Fund so that it does not exceed the net expense ratio of the corresponding class of the corresponding Credit Suisse Fund in effect at the time of the Reorganization. As a result, shareholders should experience no increase in net annual fund operating fees and expenses for two years following the Closing Date. For more information about advisory fees, see the Credit Suisse and Aberdeen Funds’ Prospectuses which are each incorporated by reference herein.

Additional Information Relating to the Proposal for the Approval of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements with AAMI and/or AAMISL

Comparison of dividends, distribution, purchase, redemption and exchange policies

Dividends and Other Distributions

The Credit Suisse Global Fixed Income Fund and Aberdeen Global Fixed Income Fund expect to declare and distribute its net investment income quarterly, if any, to shareholders as dividends. Each of the Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund/Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund

and Credit Suisse International Focus Fund/Aberdeen International Equity Fund expect to declare and distribute its net investment income annually, if any, to shareholders as dividends. Capital gains, if any, may be distributed at least annually. Any net short-term or long-term capital gain realized by the Funds (net of any capital loss carryovers) generally will be distributed once each year and may be distributed more frequently, if necessary, in order to reduce or eliminate federal excise or income taxes on the Funds. For more information about dividends, distributions and the tax implications of investing in the Aberdeen Funds, please see the section entitled “Distribution and Taxes” in the Aberdeen Funds’ Prospectus that accompanies this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and is incorporated by reference herein.

Distribution “Rule 12b-1” Plans

Credit Suisse Funds. The Credit Suisse Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (“12b-1 Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Credit Suisse Funds pay CSAMSI a fee calculated at an annual rate of the average daily net assets of the Credit Suisse Funds. The fee is intended to compensate CSAMSI, or to enable CSAMSI to compensate other service providers for providing distribution services to the Funds. Currently, the Credit Suisse Funds do not pay CSAMSI a fee under the Credit Suisse Global Fixed Income Fund Common Class shares 12b-1 Plan.

The current 12b-1 fee schedule is as follows:

Class A shares and Common Class shares pay a fee of 0.25% per year of the average daily net assets of the applicable Class A or Common Class shares of the Funds;
Class B and Class C shares pay (i) an asset based sales charge of .75% per year and (ii) a service fee of 0.25% per year of the average daily net assets of the shares of the Fund.
Advisor Class shares pay a fee of 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Advisor Class shares of the Fund (except for the Credit Suisse Global Fixed Income Fund, which has authorized but does not currently pay a 12b-1 fee).

Aberdeen Funds. The Aberdeen Funds have adopted a 12b-1 Plan with respect to certain classes of shares. The 12b-1 Plan permits the Aberdeen Funds to compensate AFD for expenses associated with the distribution of certain classes of shares of the Funds. The Funds pay AFD an annual fee in an amount that will not exceed the following amounts:

0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares of the Funds (distribution or service fee);
1.00% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares for the Funds (0.25% service fee); and
0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Class R shares of the Funds (0.25% of which must be either a distribution or service fee).

Administrative Services Fees

Credit Suisse Funds. For administration, subaccounting, transfer agency and/or other services, CSAM or its affiliates may pay service organizations a fee of up to .50% of the average annual value of accounts with the Credit Suisse Fund maintained by such service organizations. Service organizations may also be paid additional amounts on a one-time or ongoing basis, which may include a fee of up to 1.00% of new assets invested in the Credit Suisse Fund. The Credit Suisse Fund may be required to reimburse part of this fee at rates it would normally pay to the transfer agent for providing the services.

Aberdeen Funds. Class A, Class R and Institutional Service Class shares of the Aberdeen Funds are subject to fees pursuant to an Administrative Services Plan adopted by the Aberdeen Board. (These fees are in addition to Rule 12b-1 fees for Class A and Class R shares as described above.) These fees are paid by the Aberdeen Funds to broker-dealers or other financial intermediaries who provide administrative support services to beneficial shareholders on behalf of the Aberdeen Funds. Under the Administrative Services Plan, an Aberdeen Fund may pay a broker-dealer or other intermediary a maximum annual fee of 0.25% for Class A, Class R and Institutional Service Class shares; however, many intermediaries do not charge the maximum permitted fee or even a portion thereof.

Because these fees are paid out of a Fund’s Class A, Class R and Institutional Service Class shares assets on an ongoing basis, these fees will increase the cost of your investment in such share class over time and may cost you more than paying other types of fees.

Except for the Credit Suisse Global Fixed Income Fund/Aberdeen Global Fixed Income Fund, Class A shares of the Funds have a maximum sales charge of 5.75% . The sales charge is calculated as a percentage of the offering price for Class A shares. There is a maximum sales charge of 4.75% for Credit Suisse Global Fixed Income Fund and a maximum sales charge of 4.25% for the Aberdeen Global Fixed Income Fund. The sales charge is calculated as a percentage of the offering price for Class A shares. Credit Suisse Fund shareholders of Class B shares that are issued Class A shares of an Aberdeen Fund as part of the Reorganization will not be subject to any maximum sales charge

(load) upon exchange. Class A shares of the Aberdeen Fund purchased after the Reorganization will be subject to the applicable front end sales charge.

Reduction of Sales Charges

Sales charges on Class A shares of the Credit Suisse Funds and Aberdeen Funds are reduced as the amount invested increases, provided that the amount invested reaches certain specified levels.

CDSC on Class A Shares. There is no sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of a Credit Suisse or an Aberdeen Fund for $1,000,000 or more. Purchases of $1,000,000 or more of the Credit Suisse Funds will be subject to a CDSC on redemptions made within one year of purchase. The Credit Suisse Global Fixed Income Fund will apply a 0.50% CDSC. The Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund and the Credit Suisse International Focus Fund will apply a 1.00% CDSC. A CDSC of up to 1.00% for the Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund and the

Aberdeen International Equity Fund and a CDSC of up to 0.75% for the Aberdeen Global Fixed Income Fund applies to purchase of $1 million or more if a finder’s fee is paid by the Aberdeen Funds’ distribution to a financial intermediary and you redeem your shares within 18 months of purchase. Listed below are the breakpoints that apply to the Aberdeen Funds’ Class A shares CDSC:

		Aberdeen Global Small

Class A shares of the Aberdeen Fund received in connection with the Reorganization will not be subject to the CDSC. Future purchases of Class A shares of the Aberdeen Fund made after the Reorganization will be subject to a CDSC if the applicable conditions are met.

Investors of both the Credit Suisse Funds and the Aberdeen Funds may be able to reduce or eliminate front-end sales charges on Class A shares through one or more of these methods:

Rights of Accumulation

Credit Suisse Class A Shares. An investor may be eligible for reduced sales charges based upon the current NAV of shares the investor owns in the Credit Suisse Funds or of another Credit Suisse fund. The sales charge on each purchase of fund shares is determined by adding the current NAV of all the classes of shares the investor currently holds to the amount of fund shares being purchased. The Right of Accumulation is illustrated by the following example: If an investor holds shares in any Credit Suisse Fund currently valued in the amount of $50,000, a current purchase of $50,000 will qualify for a reduced sales charge (i.e., the sales charge on a $100,000 purchase). The reduced sales charge is applicable only to current purchases. The investor’s financial representative must notify the transfer agent or the distributor that the account is eligible for the Right of Accumulation.

Aberdeen Class A Shares. To qualify for the reduced Class A sales charge that would apply to a larger purchase than you are currently making an investor and other family members living at the same address can add the value of any Class A shares in your Aberdeen Funds that the investor currently owns or are currently purchasing to the value of the investor’s Class A purchase.

Share Repurchase Privilege

Credit Suisse Class A Shares. If an investor has redeemed Class A shares the Reinstatement Privilege permits shareholders to reinvest the proceeds in Class A shares, respectively, of the Credit Suisse Funds or of another Credit Suisse fund within 30 days from the date of redemption, without an initial sales charge or a deferred sales charge, as appropriate. Your financial representative must notify the transfer agent or the distributor prior to your

61

purchase in order to exercise the Reinstatement Privilege. In addition, the Class A CDSC paid to the distributor may be credited with the amount of the Class A CDSC in shares of the Credit Suisse Fund at the current NAV if a shareholder reinstates his fund account holdings within 30 days from the date of redemption.

Aberdeen Class A Shares. If an investor redeems Aberdeen Fund shares from their account, the investor qualifies for a one-time reinvestment privilege. An investor may reinvest some or all of the proceeds in shares of the same class without paying an additional sales charge within 30 days of redeeming shares on which the investor previously paid a sales charge. (Reinvestment does not affect the amount of any capital gains tax due. However, if the investor realizes a loss on their redemption and then reinvests all or some of the proceeds, all or a portion of that loss may not be tax deductible.)

Letter of Intent

Credit Suisse Class A Shares. An investor can use a Letter of Intent to qualify for reduced sales charges if they plan to invest at least $50,000 (excluding any reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions) in Class A shares of the Credit Suisse Fund during the next 13 months (based on the public offering price of shares purchased). A Letter of Intent is a letter an investor signs under which the fund agrees to impose a reduced sales charge based on an investor’s representation that they intend to purchase at least $50,000 of Class A shares of the Credit Suisse Fund. Letters of Intent may be obtained by contacting the investor’s financial representative and should be submitted to the fund’s distributor or transfer agent. The 13-month period during which the Letter is in effect will begin on the date of the earliest purchase to be included. Completing a Letter of Intent does not obligate an investor to purchase additional shares, but if they do not buy enough shares to qualify for the projected level of sales charges by the end of the 13-month period (or when they sell their shares, if earlier), the investor’s sales charges will be recalculated to reflect the actual amount of their purchases. An investor must pay the additional sales charge within 30 days after they are notified or the additional sales charge will be deducted from their account.

Aberdeen Class A Shares. If an investor declares in writing that they or a group of family members living at the same address intend to purchase at least $50,000 in Class A shares during a 13-month period, their sales charge is based on the total amount the investor intends to invest. An investor is permitted to backdate the letter in order to include purchases made during the previous 90 days. An investor is not legally required to complete the purchases indicated in their Letter of Intent. However, if they do not fulfill their Letter of Intent, additional sales charges may be due and shares in the investor’s account would be liquidated to cover those sales charges.

Concurrent Purchases

Credit Suisse Class A Shares. An investor may be eligible for reduced sales charges based on concurrent purchases of any class of shares purchased in any Credit Suisse Fund. For example, if the investor concurrently invests $25,000 in one fund and $25,000 in another, the sales charge on both funds would be reduced to reflect a $50,000 purchase. The investor’s financial representative must notify the transfer agent or the distributor prior to the investor’s purchase that they are exercising the Concurrent Purchases privilege.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charges-Class B Shares and Class C Shares of the Credit Suisse
Funds and Class C Shares of the Aberdeen Funds


Credit Suisse Class B Shares. Class B shares of the Credit Suisse Global Small Cap
Fund and the Credit Suisse International Focus Fund are subject to a CDSC of 4.00% during the
first year decreasing to 1% annually and 0% after the fourth year. Class B shares of the Credit
Suisse Global Small Cap Fund and the Credit Suisse International Focus Fund will automatically
convert to Class A shares after eight years. The maximum investment amount in these Class B
shares is $250,000.

Shareholders of Class B shares of the Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund and the
Credit Suisse International Focus Fund upon the Reorganization will receive Class A shares of
the Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund and Aberdeen International Equity Fund. No front end
sales charge will be imposed upon the of Class A shares of the Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund
and the Aberdeen International Equity Fund received by Credit Suisse Fund shareholders as part
of the Reorganization. Any additional purchases of Class A shares of the Aberdeen Global
Small Cap Fund and the Aberdeen International Equity Fund after the Reorganization will be
subject to a front end sales charge. For more information see the “Comparison of Credit Suisse
Fund and Aberdeen Fund – Sales Charges, Reductions of Sales Charges and Sales Charge
Exemptions.”

Credit Suisse Funds Class C Shares. Class C shares of the Credit Suisse Funds will be
subject to a 1% CDSC if shares are redeemed within 1 year. If shares are exchanged Class C
shares of another Credit Suisse Fund, the CDSC is computed in the manner set forth in the
exchanged-for fund’s prospectus. The 1-year period for the CDSC begins with the date of your
original purchase, not the date of the exchange for the other Class C shares. The 1% CDSC on
Class C shares of the Credit Suisse Funds will be assessed in an amount equal to the lesser of the

then-current NAV or the original purchase price of the shares identified for redemption. Each time a request is placed to redeem shares, the fund will first redeem any shares in your account that are not subject to a deferred sales charge and then the shares in your account that you have held the longest. Class C shares of a Credit Suisse Fund are not convertible to Class A shares of a Credit Suisse Fund and are subject to a distribution fee of 1.00% of average daily net assets. Financial representatives selling Class C shares of Credit Suisse Funds receive a commission of up to 1.00% of the purchase price of the Class C shares they sell. Also, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of purchase, they receive an annual fee of up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets represented by the Class C shares of Credit Suisse Funds held by their clients.

Aberdeen Funds Class C Shares. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC of shares if redeemed within the first year. For Class C shares of the Aberdeen Funds, the CDSC is based on the original purchase price or the current market value of the shares being redeemed, whichever is less. If you redeem a portion of your shares, shares that are not subject to a CDSC are redeemed first, followed by shares that you have owned the longest. This minimizes the CDSC that you pay. The Aberdeen Funds’ distributor or Adviser may compensate broker-dealers and financial intermediaries for sales of Class C shares of the Aberdeen Funds from its own resources at the rate of 1.00% of sales of the Class C shares.

CDSC Waivers-Credit Suisse Funds Class B Shares and Class C Shares and Aberdeen Funds Class A and C Shares

The CDSC may be waived or reduced if the redemption relates to:

Credit Suisse Funds		Aberdeen Funds

account with a current NAV of less than
$250; and

Redemptions made pursuant to the fund’s
automatic withdrawal plan, pursuant to
which up to 1% monthly or 3% quarterly of
an account (excluding dividend
reinvestments) may be withdrawn,
provided that no more than 12% of the total
market value of an account may be
withdrawn over any 12 month period.
Shareholders who elect automatic
withdrawals on a semi-annual or annual
basis are not eligible for the waiver.

Redemption Fee

The Credit Suisse Funds and the Aberdeen Global Fixed Income Funds impose a 2.00%
redemption fee (short-term trading fee) on shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 days from
the date of purchase. The Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund and Aberdeen International Equity
Fund impose a 2% redemption fee on shares redeemed or exchanged within 90 days from the
date of purchase. This fee is calculated based on the shares’ aggregate NAV on the date of
redemption and deducted from the redemption proceeds. The fee is paid to a Fund to offset costs
associated with short-term trading. For purposes of computing the redemption fee, any shares
purchased through reinvestment of dividends or distributions will be redeemed first without
charging the fee, followed by shares held the longest. Aberdeen Fund shares received in
connection with the Reorganization will not be subject to the redemption fee. Future purchases
of Class A shares of the Aberdeen Fund after the Reorganization, however, will be subject to the
redemption fee.

Are there any significant differences between the Credit Suisse Funds’ and Aberdeen Trust’s Charter Documents?

Comparison of Credit Suisse Funds’ and Aberdeen Trust Charter Documents

Each Credit Suisse Fund is organized as a Maryland corporation. Aberdeen Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust. The operations of each Credit Suisse Fund are governed by the particular Credit Suisse Fund’s Charter (each a “Credit Suisse Fund Charter”), By-laws and applicable Maryland law. The operations of Aberdeen Funds are governed by Aberdeen Trust’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Aberdeen Trust Charter”), By-laws and applicable Delaware law. The operations of both the Credit Suisse Funds and Aberdeen Funds are also subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder and applicable state securities laws. The provisions of each Credit Suisse Fund Charter differ in some respects from the Aberdeen Trust Charter. The following is only a summary of certain of the differences between each Credit Suisse Fund and its applicable Credit Suisse Fund Charter and By-laws under Maryland law, on the one hand, and Aberdeen Funds and the Aberdeen Trust Charter, on the other. It is not a complete list of differences.

Directors of Credit Suisse Fund and Trustees of Aberdeen Trust. Subject to the provisions of the Aberdeen Trust Charter, the operations of Aberdeen Trust are supervised by Aberdeen Board and, subject to the provisions of each Credit Suisse Fund Charter, the operations of Credit Suisse Fund are supervised by each Credit Suisse Board. The responsibilities, powers and fiduciary duties of the Aberdeen Trust’s Trustees (singularly a “Trustee”, collectively the “Trustees”) are similar to those of the Credit Suisse Fund’s Directors (singularly a “Director”, collectively the “Directors”). The Aberdeen Trust Charter permits the Aberdeen Board to remove a Trustee with or without cause at any time at a duly constituted meeting or by a written consent signed by at least a majority of the then Trustees specifying the effective date of removal. Shareholders have the power to remove a trustee only to the extent provided in the 1940 Act and regulations thereunder.

Any Director of a Credit Suisse Fund may be removed by the stockholders with or without cause at any time by a vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast for the election of directors. A meeting will be called to vote on the removal of a director at any time by the Credit Suisse Board or by the President, and shall be called by the President or Secretary at the request in writing of a majority of the Credit Suisse Board or at the request in writing of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting. A director shall be deemed to retire from the Credit Suisse Board on the date he/she reaches the age of 72

years. Independent Directors who are not being considered for the waiver may by a majority vote exempt a director from the normal retirement age of 72 based on the particular facts and circumstances. A determination to waive the normal retirement age for an individual director shall be reviewed on an annual basis by the Independent Directors.

Amendment of Charter. Generally, the Aberdeen Trust Charter permits the Trustees to amend the Aberdeen Trust Charter by an instrument in writing signed by not less than a majority of the Aberdeen Board unless the Charter, the 1940 Act or the requirement of any securities exchange on which shares are listed for trading requires shareholders approve such an amendment.

Except in limited circumstances specified by Maryland law, the Directors may not amend a Credit Suisse Fund Charter without a shareholder vote.

Liability and Indemnification of Directors, Trustees and Officers. To protect the Trustees against certain liabilities, the Aberdeen Trust Charter provides that to the fullest extent that limitations on the liability of agents are permitted by the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (“DSTA”) and other applicable law, the trustees and officers shall not be responsible or liable in any event for any act or omission of any other agent of Aberdeen Trust or any investment adviser or principal underwriter of Aberdeen Trust.

In addition, the Aberdeen Trust Charter provides that Aberdeen Trust, out of its property, shall indemnify and hold harmless each and every officer and trustee from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever arising out of or related to such officer’s or trustee’s performance of his or her duties as an officer or Trustee of Aberdeen Trust. Nothing in the Aberdeen Trust Charter indemnifies, holds harmless or protects any officer or trustee from or against any liability to Aberdeen Trust or any shareholder to which such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such person’s office (such conduct referred to as “Disqualifying Conduct”).

Each Credit Suisse Fund’s By-laws (and the Charter of the Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund, Inc. and Credit Suisse International Focus Fund, Inc.) provide that each director and officer of a Credit Suisse Fund shall be indemnified by the Credit Suisse Fund to the full extent permitted under the Maryland General Corporation Law, except that such indemnity shall not protect any such person against any liability to the Credit Suisse Fund or any shareholder thereof to which such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office. In addition, the Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund’s and Credit Suisse Global International Focus Fund’s Charters provide that to the fullest extent that limitations on the liability of directors and officers are permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law, no director or officer of the Credit Suisse Fund shall have any liability to the Credit Suisse Fund or its stockholders for money damages. This limitation on liability applies to events occurring at the time a person serves as a director or officer of the Credit Suisse Fund whether or not such person is a director or officer at the time of any proceeding in which liability is asserted.

Mutual fund and trustees and officers liability policies insure Aberdeen Trust and its Trustees, subject to the policies’ coverage limits and exclusions and varying deductibles, against loss resulting from claims by reason of any act, error, omission, misstatement, misleading statement, neglect or breach of duty.

Shareholder Liability. Under Delaware law, shareholders generally are not personally liable for the obligations of a Delaware statutory trust. A shareholder is entitled to the same limitation of liability extended to stockholders of private, for-profit corporations. Similar statutory or other authority, however, limiting shareholder liability does not exist in certain states. As a result, to the extent that Aberdeen Trust or a shareholder is subject to the jurisdiction of courts in those states, the courts may not apply Delaware law, thereby subjecting the shareholder to liability. To guard against this risk, the Aberdeen Trust Charter: (1) contains a provision entitling Aberdeen Funds’ shareholders to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of a private corporation organized for profit under the general corporate law of Delaware liability for acts or obligations of Aberdeen Trust and the Aberdeen Funds; and (2) provides for indemnification out of such Aberdeen Funds property, as applicable, for any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the Aberdeen Funds. In addition, notice of disclaimer of shareholder liability will normally be given in each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by Aberdeen Trust on behalf of the Aberdeen Funds. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss beyond his or her investment because of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which (1) a court refuses to apply Delaware law; (2) no contractual limitation of liability is in effect; and (3) the applicable Aberdeen Fund is unable to meet its obligations to indemnify a shareholder. In light of Delaware law, the nature of the Aberdeen Funds’ business and the nature of their assets, Aberdeen Board believes that the risk of personal liability to a shareholder is extremely remote.

Under Maryland Law, a shareholder of a Maryland corporation who has fully paid the subscription price for the shareholder’s shares generally has no personal liability in excess of the value of the shareholder’s shares.

Voting Rights of Shareholders of Each Credit Suisse Fund and Aberdeen Trust.

Aberdeen Trust is not required to hold annual meetings of shareholders and does not intend to hold such meetings. In the event that a meeting of shareholders is held, all shares of an Aberdeen Fund entitled to vote on a matter vote without differentiation between the separate series or classes; provided however, (i) if any matter to be voted on affects only the interests of some but not all series or classes, then only the shareholders of such affected series or classes shall be entitled to vote on the matter or (ii) if the 1940 Act or other applicable law or regulation requires voting by series or by class, then the shares shall vote as prescribed by such law or regulation. Each share shall be entitled to one vote for each full share, and a fractional vote for each fractional share. Shareholders of Aberdeen Funds do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of Trustees. Meetings of shareholders of Aberdeen Funds, or any, series or, class thereof, may be called by the Trustees, the Chairman of the Board or President of Aberdeen Trust or upon the written request of holders of 10% or more of the shares entitled to vote at such meetings. The Trustees will call a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees if, at any time, less than a majority of Trustees holding office at the time were elected by shareholders. The Aberdeen Trust Charter provides that the shareholders have the power to, vote only with respect to: (1) the election of Trustees to the extent and as provided therein; and

(2) with respect to such additional matters relating to Aberdeen Funds as may be required by the Aberdeen Trust Charter, the Aberdeen Trust’s By-laws, the 1940 Act or any registration statement of Aberdeen Trust with the SEC; or (3) as the Trustees may consider necessary or desirable. Generally, unless a lower quorum is required by applicable law, thirty-three and one-third percent (33-1/3%) of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at a shareholders’ meeting constitute a quorum at the meeting. Generally, subject to certain provisions of the Aberdeen Trust Charter, the By-Laws or applicable law which may require a different vote: (1) in all matters other than the election of Trustees, the affirmative vote of the majority of votes cast at a Shareholders’ meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the shareholders; (2) Trustees shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at a shareholders’ meeting at which a quorum is present. In electing Trustees, all funds in the Aberdeen Trust vote together. In contrast, each Credit Suisse Fund is a separate corporation that has its own Board of Directors that is elected by such Credit Suisse Fund’s shareholders.

A Credit Suisse Fund is not required to hold an annual meeting of the shareholders in any year in which the election of directors is not required to be acted upon under the 1940 Act, unless otherwise determined by the Credit Suisse Board. A special meeting will be called at any time by the Credit Suisse Board or by the President, and shall be called by the President or Secretary at the request in writing of a majority of the Credit Suisse Board or at the request in writing of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting upon payment by such stockholders to the Credit Suisse Fund of the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and mailing a notice of the meeting (which estimated cost shall be provided to such stockholders by the Secretary of the Credit Suisse Fund). In the event that a meeting of shareholders is held, each whole share shall be entitled to one vote as to any matter on which it is entitled to vote and each fractional share shall be entitled to a proportionate fractional vote. On any matter submitted to a vote of shareholders, all shares of Credit Suisse Fund then issued and outstanding and entitled to vote shall be voted in the aggregate and not by series or class except that: (1) when otherwise expressly required by the Maryland General Corporation Law or the 1940 Act, shares will be voted by individual series or class or affecting a series or class differently from other series or classes; and (2) in certain circumstances set forth by charter only shares of a series or class are entitled to vote on matters concerning only that series or class. Shareholders of a Credit Suisse Fund do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of Directors. Generally, unless otherwise provided by statute or the Credit Suisse Fund Charter, the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders of the Credit Suisse Fund entitled to cast at least one-third of the votes to be cast shall constitute a quorum at each meeting of the stockholders and all questions shall be decided by majority of the votes cast (except with respect to the election of directors, which shall be by a plurality of votes cast).

Termination of Credit Suisse Fund/Aberdeen Trust and its Series or Classes. Generally, the Aberdeen Funds Charter permits the termination of Aberdeen Trust or any series of Aberdeen Trust: (a) with respect to Aberdeen Trust, (i) at any time by vote of a majority of the shares of Aberdeen Trust entitled to vote, or (ii) at the discretion of the Aberdeen Board either (A) at any time there are no shares outstanding of Aberdeen Trust, or (B) upon prior written notice to the shareholder of Aberdeen Trust; (b) with respect to any series, at any time by vote of a majority of the shares of the series entitled to vote, or (ii) at the discretion of the Aberdeen Board either (A) at any time there are no shares outstanding of the series, or (B) upon prior written notice to the shareholder of the series.

Under Maryland law, the Directors may dissolve a Credit Suisse Fund upon the approval by a vote of the majority of the directors and by a vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to be voted on.

Derivative Actions. Generally, a shareholder may bring a derivative action on behalf of Aberdeen Trust only if the shareholder or shareholders first make a pre-suit demand upon the trustees to bring the subject action unless an effort to cause the trustees to bring such action is excused. A demand on the Trustees is only excused if a majority of the Aberdeen Board, or a majority of any committee established to consider the merits of such action, has a personal financial interest in the action at issue.

There are no provisions relating to shareholder derivative actions in the Credit Suisse Fund Charter. Under Maryland law, applicable case law at the time of a particular derivative action will establish any requirements or limitations with respect to shareholder derivative actions.

Merger and Consolidation. Pursuant to an agreement of merger or consolidation, Aberdeen Trust, or any one or more series, may, by act of a majority of the Aberdeen Board, merge or consolidate with or into one or more business entities. Any such merger or consolidation does not require the vote of the shareholders affected thereby, unless such vote is required by the 1940 Act, or unless such merger or consolidation would result in an amendment of the Aberdeen Trust Charter, which would otherwise require the approval of such Shareholders.

Under Maryland law, Credit Suisse Funds generally cannot engage in a statutory share exchange, merger, or consolidation unless approved by a vote of shareholders.

Conversion. A majority of the Aberdeen Board may, without the vote or consent of the shareholders, cause (i) Aberdeen Trust to convert to a common-law trust, a general partnership, limited partnership or a limited liability company pursuant to Section 3821 of the DSTA; (ii) the shares of Aberdeen Trust or any series to be converted into beneficial interests in another business trust (or series thereof); or (iii) the shares to be exchanged under or pursuant to any state or federal statute to the extent permitted by law; provided, however, that if required by the 1940 Act, no such statutory conversion, share conversion or share exchange shall be effective unless the terms of such transaction shall first have been approved at a meeting called for that purpose by the “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities,” as is defined in the 1940 Act.

Reorganization. A majority of the Aberdeen Board may cause Aberdeen Trust to sell, convey and transfer all or substantially all of the assets of Aberdeen Trust, or any one or more series, to another business entity, or to Aberdeen Trust to be held as assets associated with one or more other series of Aberdeen Trust, in exchange for cash, shares or other securities; provided, however, that, if required by the 1940 Act, no assets associated with any particular series shall be so sold, conveyed or transferred unless the terms of such transaction shall first have been approved at a meeting called for that purpose by the “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities,” as defined in the 1940 Act, of that series.

Under Maryland law, a Credit Suisse Fund can transfer its assets by board action, without a shareholder vote.

PROPOSAL 2: TO APPROVE AN INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

Why is a New Sub-Advisory Agreement needed?

As previously mentioned, as part of the closing of the Transaction which is expected to occur in the late second quarter of 2009, the Credit Suisse Funds’ existing investment sub-advisory agreements with CSAM U.K. are expected to terminate. The Reorganization, however, if approved, is not expected to occur until the third quarter of 2009 for operational and administrative reasons. During this potential interim period the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers will serve as sub-advisers to the Credit Suisse Funds pursuant to the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements. As further discussed below, in order for the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers to receive advisory fees under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements the shareholders of the Credit Suisse Funds must approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement.

The Credit Suisse Boards approved an Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement, among each Credit Suisse Fund, CSAM and the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers, as applicable, to allow the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers to serve as investment sub-advisers to the Credit Suisse Funds following the termination of the existing sub-advisory agreements until the consummation of the Reorganization. CSAM would remain the investment adviser to the Credit Suisse Funds during the interim period. On February 18, 2009, the Credit Suisse Boards considered information and materials related to the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers and the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements and New Sub-Advisory Agreements that were provided in advance of the meeting by AAMI. The Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements and the New Sub-Advisory Agreements were further considered, and were approved, by the Credit Suisse Boards on March 11, 2009 at a special board meeting.

The Credit Suisse Funds will be sub-advised by the following Aberdeen Sub-Advisers under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements (if such agreements become effective):

Credit Suisse Fund Credit Suisse Global Fixed Income Fund	Aberdeen Sub-Advisers Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. Aberdeen Asset Management Investment Services Limited

Credit Suisse Global Small Cap Fund	Aberdeen Asset Management Investment Services Limited

Credit Suisse International Focus Fund	Aberdeen Asset Management Investment Services Limited

An interim investment sub-advisory agreement that has not been approved by shareholders can remain in effect for no more than 150 days in accordance with the 1940 Act. Advisory fees earned by an investment adviser to a fund under an interim sub-advisory

agreement are required to be held in an interest bearing escrow account until a new sub-advisory
agreement is approved by the shareholders of the fund. The approval of the New Sub-Advisory
Agreement, therefore, is necessary for the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers to receive the amounts held in
the escrow accounts, plus interest, for advisory services to the Credit Suisse Funds performed
under the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements. The Credit Suisse Boards considered on February
18, 2009 and March 11, 2009 the New Sub-Advisory Agreements and on March 11, 2009
approved the New Sub-Advisory Agreements and recommended that shareholders of each Credit
Suisse Fund approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreements among CSAM, one or more of the
Aberdeen Sub-Advisers and each Credit Suisse Fund.

The approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Credit Suisse Fund is
conditioned on the approval of the Reorganization Agreement by the Credit Suisse Fund
shareholders. The effective date of the approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement will be
effective date of the Reorganization, on which date the Credit Suisse Funds will be reorganized
into the corresponding Aberdeen Fund and the Aberdeen Fund will be advised by the Aberdeen
Advisers pursuant to investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements that have been approved
by the Aberdeen Fund. As such, the sole purpose is to authorize the release of any escrowed
advisory fees to the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers. In addition to being conditioned on the approval of
the Reorganization Agreement, the approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement by a Credit
Suisse Fund is also conditioned on the effectiveness of the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement; if
the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreement has not become effective for any reason, the approval of
the New Sub-Advisory Agreement will not be effective.

If the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers provide advisory services under the Interim Sub-Advisory
Agreements, and shareholders of a particular Credit Suisse Fund do not approve the New Sub-
Advisory Agreement or if the Reorganization does not occur, the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers will be
paid the lesser of (i) any costs incurred by them in performing their duties (plus interest earned
on that amount while in escrow) or (ii) the total amount in the escrow account for that Credit
Suisse Fund, plus interest earned and any fees remaining in escrow will be returned to the
applicable Credit Suisse Fund. A form of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Credit
Suisse Fund is attached as Exhibit B.

How does the New Sub-Advisory Agreement differ from the current investment sub-
advisory agreement?

The terms and conditions (including applicable advisory fees) of the New Sub-Advisory
Agreements are identical to the current investment sub-advisory agreements. The current
investment sub-advisory agreements were last approved as follows:


Date of	Date of last	Date of last submission of
investment	approval by	existing investment sub-
sub-advisory	Directors of the	advisory agreements to
agreement	investment sub-	vote of shareholders of
	advisory	each Fund
	agreement


Credit Suisse Global Fixed Income Fund, Inc. 5/1/02*	11/19/2008	5/1/02


75

The terms and conditions of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements are also identical to the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements except for the effective dates, termination dates and certain fee escrow provisions. The description of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements set forth below in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit B.

Each Credit Suisse Fund’s current investment sub-advisory agreement with CSAM U.K. and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement with the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers provide that, subject to the supervision and direction of CSAM, the investment sub-adviser will provide investment advisory and portfolio management advice to all or a portion of a Credit Suisse Fund’s assets designated by CSAM from time to time (the “Assets”) in accordance with (a) the Articles of Incorporation, (b) the 1940 Act, and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and all other applicable laws and regulations, and (c) the Credit Suisse Fund’s investment objective and policies as stated in the prospectus and statement of additional information and investment parameters provided by CSAM from time to time. In connection therewith, the investment sub-adviser will: (i) manage the Credit Suisse Fund’s Assets or furnish recommendations to manage the Assets in accordance with the Credit Suisse Fund’s investment objective and policies; (ii) make investment decisions or recommendations with respect to the Assets; (iii) if requested by CSAM will place purchase and sale orders for securities on behalf of the Credit Suisse Fund with respect to the Assets; (iv) exercise voting rights with respect to the Assets if requested by CSAM; and (v) furnish CSAM and the Credit Suisse Board with such periodic and special reports as the Credit Suisse Fund or CSAM may reasonably request.

In providing those services, the investment sub-adviser will, if requested by CSAM, provide investment research and supervision of the Assets and conduct a continued program of investment, evaluation and, if appropriate, sale and reinvestment of the Assets.

The current investment sub-advisory agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement provide with regard to the execution of transactions that in executing transactions for the Assets, selecting brokers or dealers and negotiating any brokerage commission rates, the investment sub-adviser will use its best efforts to seek the best overall terms available. In assessing the best overall terms available for any portfolio transaction, the investment sub-adviser will consider all factors it deems relevant including, but not limited to, the breadth of the market in the security, the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker or dealer and the reasonableness of any commission for the specific transaction and for transactions executed through the broker or dealer in the aggregate. In selecting brokers or dealers to execute a particular transaction and evaluating the best overall terms available, to the extent that the execution and price offered by more than one broker or dealer are comparable the investment sub-adviser may consider any brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) provided to the investment sub-adviser or to CSAM for use on behalf of the Fund or other clients of the investment sub-adviser or CSAM.

Each Credit Suisse Fund’s current investment sub-advisory agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement provide that the investment sub-adviser shall exercise its best judgment in rendering the services described in the agreement. The investment sub-adviser is not liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by a Credit Suisse Fund or CSAM in connection with the matters to which such agreement relates, except that the investment sub-adviser shall be liable for a loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty by the investment sub-adviser with respect to the receipt of compensation for services; provided that nothing shall be deemed to protect or purport to protect the investment sub-adviser against any liability to a Credit Suisse Fund or to shareholders of the Credit Suisse Fund or CSAM to which the investment sub-adviser would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on its part in the performance of its duties or by reason of the investment sub-adviser’s reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the agreement.

The current investment sub-advisory agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement provide that CSAM will pay all of the fees payable to any investment sub-adviser engaged pursuant to the agreement.

What factors did each Credit Suisse Board consider in recommending that shareholders approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreement?

At the February 18, 2009 and March 11, 2009 meetings of the Credit Suisse Boards (the “February and March Meetings”), each Credit Suisse Board considered the New Sub-Advisory Agreements with the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers for the Credit Suisse Funds.

At the February and March Meetings, each Credit Suisse Board evaluated a variety of factors when considering the New Sub-Advisory Agreements for the Credit Suisse Funds, including: (i) the rationale for recommending the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers to serve as investment sub-adviser to the Credit Suisse Funds for an interim period between the consummation of the Transaction and the Reorganization; (ii) the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided by AAMI and AAMISL to the Credit Suisse Funds, including the resources of the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers to be dedicated to the Credit Suisse Funds; (iii) the performance of the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers; (iv) the fees and expenses to be borne by the Credit Suisse Funds; (v) any benefits to be derived by the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers from their relationship with the Credit Suisse Funds; and (vi) that, effectively, the sole purpose of the approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements is to authorize the release of any escrowed advisory fees to the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers in the event the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements become effective and the Reorganization is approved.

When considering the nature and quality of the services to be provided by the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers to the Credit Suisse Funds and the resources of the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers dedicated to the Credit Suisse Funds, each Credit Suisse Board reviewed: (a) the rationale in proposing the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers; (b) the scope and depth of the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers’ organization; (c) the experience and expertise of each of the Aberdeen Sub-Adviser’s investment

professionals; (d) the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers’ investment advisory capabilities; and (e) the advisory fees the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers would charge for providing investment advisory services. Each Credit Suisse Board evaluated the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers’ portfolio management and trading processes and discussed the experience of the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers’ brokerage and trading capabilities. After analyzing the services proposed to be provided by the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers to the Credit Suisse Funds, and the services provided by the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers to other investment portfolios presently advised by the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers, each Credit Suisse Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided to the Credit Suisse Funds were consistent with the operational requirements of the Credit Suisse Funds and met the needs of the shareholders of the Credit Suisse Funds.

Furthermore, each Credit Suisse Board noted that the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers could not report any financial results from their relationship with the Credit Suisse Funds because the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers had not provided services to the Credit Suisse Funds, and thus, each Credit Suisse Board could not evaluate profitability. Given the limited time that the Aberdeen Sub-Advisers would potentially be managing the Credit Suisse Funds the Credit Suisse Boards concluded that economies of scale and the reflection of such economies of scale in the level of fees charged were inapplicable to the Credit Suisse Funds. The Credit Suisse Boards noted, however, that the investment advisory fees and expense ratios of the Credit Suisse Funds would not increase to increase either the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements, and would not be expected to increase under the New Sub-Advisory Agreements.

After consideration of the factors discussed above, each Credit Suisse Board, with the assistance of independent counsel, concluded that approving the New Sub-Advisory Agreements and recommending that shareholders approve the New Sub-Advisory Agreements for the Credit Suisse Funds was in the best interests of the Credit Suisse Funds and their shareholders.

VOTING INFORMATION

What vote is necessary to approve the Proposals?

Quorum; Adjournment

A quorum of shareholders is constituted by the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of at least one-third of the outstanding shares of a Credit Suisse Fund entitled to vote at the Meeting. In the event that a quorum is not present at the Meeting or in the event that a quorum is present but sufficient votes to approve any of the proposals are not received, the chairman of the Meeting may or, if a proposal to adjourn is submitted to a vote of shareholders, the holders of a majority of the shares of a Credit Suisse Fund present in person or by proxy (or a majority of votes cast on the adjournment if a quorum is present) shall have the power to, adjourn the Meeting from time to time, without notices other than announcement at the Meeting, until the requisite number of shares entitled to vote at the Meeting shall be present. If a Meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the original record date, a new record date must be established for voting at such adjourned Meeting, and any unrevoked proxies submitted by any shareholder of record as of the original record date, with respect to shares that such shareholder continues to hold of record on the new record date, may be voted at the adjourned Meeting and any subsequently adjourned Meeting, provided that any adjourned Meeting is not more than 120 days after the new record date. At such adjourned Meeting, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the original Meeting. If a quorum is present, a shareholder vote may be taken on one or more of the proposals properly brought before the meeting prior to any adjournment if sufficient votes have been received and it is otherwise appropriate.

Shareholder Approval

With respect to each Credit Suisse Fund, each Proposal must be approved by a “majority of outstanding voting securities” as defined in the 1940 Act, which means the lesser of the vote of: (i) 67% or more of the voting securities of a Credit Suisse Fund that are present at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval or represented by proxy if holders of shares representing more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of a Credit Suisse Fund are present or represented by proxy; or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of a Credit Suisse Fund.

If the shareholders of a Credit Suisse Fund approve the Reorganization Agreement the effectiveness of each such approval is not conditioned upon the completion of the Transaction. The effectiveness of shareholder approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements is contingent upon the approval of the Reorganization Agreement and the effectiveness of the Interim Sub-Advisory Agreements.

To assure the presence of a quorum at the Meeting, please promptly execute and return the enclosed proxy. A self-addressed, postage-paid envelope is enclosed for your convenience. Alternatively, you may authorize your proxy by telephone or through the Internet at the number or website address printed on the enclosed proxy card.

In the event the Reorganization is approved with respect to fewer than all of the Credit Suisse Funds, the failure of a Credit Suisse Fund to consummate the Reorganization contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement shall not affect the consummation or validity of the Reorganization with respect to any other Credit Suisse Fund. Accordingly, it is possible that if a shareholder owns shares in two or more Credit Suisse Funds and one of the Credit Suisse Funds does not approve the Reorganization, then the shareholder of the particular Credit Suisse Fund which did not approve the Reorganization would remain a shareholder of that Credit Suisse Fund. However, with respect to the Credit Suisse Funds that approve the Reorganization, a shareholder of those particular Credit Suisse Funds at the Closing Date would become a shareholder of the Aberdeen Funds.

In tallying shareholder votes, proxies that reflect abstentions or “broker non-votes” (shares held by brokers or nominees as to which instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or the persons entitled to vote and either (i) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power or (ii) the broker or nominee returns the proxy but expressly declines to vote on a particular matter) will be counted as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum and effectively will be a vote against approval.

Credit Suisse and its affiliates have advised the Credit Suisse Funds that they intend to vote the shares over which they have voting power at the Meeting, including shares that are held directly or on behalf of employees, in the manner instructed by the customers or employees for which such shares are held.

This Proxy Statement/Prospectus, Notice of Meeting, proxy card(s), and voting instruction forms were first mailed to shareholders on or about [_______, 2009].

Who can vote to approve the Proposals?

Only shareholders of record of the Credit Suisse Funds at the close of business on March 12, 2009 (the “Record Date”), will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting on the matters described in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and will be entitled to one vote for each full share and a fractional vote for each fractional share that they hold. Exhibit C to this Proxy Statement/Prospectus sets forth the number of shares of beneficial interest of each of the Credit Suisse Funds which were outstanding as of the Record Date and, therefore, are entitled to vote at the Meeting.

This Proxy Statement/Prospectus is being used in order to reduce the preparation, printing, handling and postage expenses that would result from the use of a separate proxy statement/prospectus for each Credit Suisse Fund and, because shareholders may own shares of more than one Credit Suisse Fund, to avoid burdening shareholders with more than one proxy statement. To the extent information regarding common ownership is available to the Credit Suisse Funds, a shareholder who owns of record shares in more than one Credit Suisse Fund will receive a package containing this Proxy Statement/Prospectus and proxies for each Credit Suisse Fund in which that shareholder owns shares. If information relating to common ownership is not available to the Credit Suisse Funds, a shareholder who beneficially owns shares in more than one Credit Suisse Fund may receive more than one package, each containing this Proxy

Statement/Prospectus and a proxy for a single Credit Suisse Fund. It is essential that shareholders complete, date, sign and return EACH enclosed proxy.

How do I ensure my vote is accurately recorded?

You may attend the Meeting and vote in person. You may also authorize your vote by completing, signing, and returning the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage paid envelope, or by telephone or through the Internet. If you return your signed proxy card or authorize your proxy by telephone or through the Internet, your vote will be officially cast at the Meeting by the persons appointed as proxies. If you simply sign and date the proxy card but give no voting instructions, your shares will be voted in favor of each Proposal and in accordance with the views of management upon any unexpected matters that come before the Meeting or adjournment of the Meeting. If your shares are held of record by a broker/dealer and you wish to vote in person at the Meeting, you should obtain a legal proxy from your broker of record and present it at the Meeting.

May I revoke my proxy?

Any shareholder who has given a proxy has the right to revoke it any time prior to its exercise by attending the Meeting and voting his or her shares in person, or by submitting a letter of revocation or a later-dated proxy card to the Fund at the address indicated on the enclosed envelope provided with this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Any letter of revocation or later-dated proxy card must be received by the Credit Suisse Fund prior to the Meeting and must indicate your name and account number to be effective. Proxies voted by telephone or Internet may be revoked at any time before they are voted at the Meeting in the same manner that proxies voted by mail may be revoked.

What other matters will be voted upon at the Meeting?

The Credit Suisse Boards do not intend to bring any matters before the Meeting with respect to the Credit Suisse Funds other than those described in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The Credit Suisse Boards are not aware of any other matters to be brought before the Meeting with respect to the Credit Suisse Funds by others. If any other matter legally comes before the Meeting, proxy holders will vote on it in accordance with their best judgment for those shares they are authorized to vote. However, any proposal submitted to a vote at the Meeting by anyone other than the officers or directors may be voted only in person or by written proxy.

What other solicitations will be made?

This proxy solicitation is being made by the Credit Suisse Boards for use at the Meeting. In addition to solicitation by mail, solicitations also may be made by advertisement, telephone, telegram, facsimile transmission or other electronic media, or personal contacts. The Credit Suisse Boards will request broker/dealer firms, custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries to forward proxy materials to the beneficial owners of the shares of record. The Credit Suisse Boards may reimburse broker/dealer firms, custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such proxy solicitation. In addition to solicitations by mail, officers and employees of the Credit Suisse Funds, CSAM, or the administrator, without extra

pay, may conduct additional solicitations by telephone, telecopy, and personal interviews. The Credit Suisse Boards have engaged The Altman Group, Inc. (“Altman Group”) to solicit proxies from brokers, banks, other institutional holders and individual shareholders at an anticipated cost of [$_____], including out of pocket expenses, which will be allocated between CSAM and AAMI. Fees and expenses may be greater depending on the effort necessary to obtain shareholder votes. CSAM expects that the solicitations will be primarily by mail, but also will include telephone, telecopy, or oral solicitations.

As the Meeting date approaches, certain shareholders of the Credit Suisse Funds may receive a telephone call from a representative of Altman Group if their votes have not yet been received. Proxies that are obtained telephonically by Altman Group will be recorded in accordance with the procedures described below. These procedures are designed to ensure that both the identity of the shareholder casting the vote and the voting instructions of the shareholder are accurately determined.

In all cases where a telephonic proxy is solicited by Altman Group, the Altman Group representative is required to ask each shareholder to state his or her full name. The representative then states the city, state and zip code on the account and asks the shareholder to confirm his or her identity by stating their street address.

WHEREAS, each Acquired Fund owns securities that generally are assets of the character in which the corresponding Acquiring Fund is permitted to invest;

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has determined, with respect to each Acquiring Fund, that the sale, assignment, transfer and delivery of all of the property and assets of the corresponding Acquired Fund for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption of all liabilities of the Acquired Fund by the Acquiring Fund is in the best interests of the Acquiring Fund and its shareholders and that the interests of the existing shareholders of the Acquiring Fund would not be diluted as a result of this transaction; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of each Acquired Fund has determined that the sale, assignment, transfer and delivery of all of the property and assets of the Acquired Fund for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption of all liabilities of the Acquired Fund by the corresponding Acquiring Fund is in the best interests of the Acquired Fund and its shareholders and that the interests of the existing shareholders of the Acquired Fund would not be diluted as a result of this transaction;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

1. TRANSFER OF ASSETS OF EACH ACQUIRED FUND TO THE CORRESPONDING ACQUIRING FUND IN EXCHANGE FOR ACQUIRING FUND SHARES, THE ASSUMPTION OF ALL ACQUIRED FUND LIABILITIES AND THE LIQUIDATION OF THE ACQUIRED FUND

1.1. Subject to the requisite approval of each Acquired Fund’s shareholders (“Acquired Fund Shareholders”) and the other terms and conditions herein set forth and on the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, each Acquired Fund agrees to sell, assign, transfer and deliver all of its property and assets, as set forth in paragraph 1.2, to the corresponding Acquiring Fund, and each Acquiring Fund agrees in exchange therefor:

(i)	to deliver to the Acquired Fund the number of full and fractional Acquiring Fund Shares equal in value to the value of each class of the Acquired Fund as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 3; and

(ii)	to assume all liabilities of the Acquired Fund, as set forth in paragraph 1.2.

Transactions described in paragraph 1.1(i) and (ii) shall take place on the date of the closing provided for in paragraph 3.1 (“Closing Date”). All Class A shares of an Acquiring Fund

- 3 -

delivered to any Acquired Fund in connection with the Reorganization will have any sales charge waived.

1.2. The property and assets of each Acquired Fund to be acquired by the corresponding Acquiring Fund shall consist of all assets and property, including, without limitation, all rights, cash, securities, commodities and futures interests and dividends or interests receivable that are owned by the Acquired Fund and any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of the Acquired Fund on the Valuation Date as defined in paragraph 2.1 excluding the estimated costs of extinguishing any Excluded Liability (as defined below) and cash in an amount necessary to pay any dividends pursuant to sub-paragraph 6.3 (collectively, with respect to each Acquired Fund separately, “Assets”). Each Acquiring Fund shall assume all of the liabilities of the corresponding Acquired Fund, whether accrued or contingent, known or unknown, existing at the Valuation Date in connection with the acquisition of the Assets and subsequent liquidation and dissolution of the Acquired Fund or otherwise, except for the Acquired Fund’s Excluded Liabilities (as defined below and excluding expenses that are solely and directly related to the Reorganization (determined in accordance with the guidelines set forth in Rev. Rul. 73-54, 1973-1 C.B. 187) borne by each Acquiring Fund pursuant to paragraph 9.2), if any, pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, with respect to each Acquired Fund separately, “Liabilities”). Each Acquired Fund will use reasonable commercial efforts to discharge all known Liabilities prior to or at the Valuation Date (as defined in paragraph 2.1) to the extent permissible and consistent with its own investment objectives and policies. If prior to the Closing Date, the Trust identifies a Liability that the Trust and an Acquired Fund mutually agree should not be assumed by the Trust, such Liability shall be excluded from the definition of Liabilities hereunder and shall be listed on a Schedule of Excluded Liabilities to be signed by the Trust and the applicable Acquired Fund at the Closing (the “Excluded Liabilities”). Certain Liabilities that would otherwise be listed as Excluded Liabilities may be assumed by the Trust on behalf of an Acquiring Fund, subject to such conditions as may be mutually agreed upon among the Trust, the Acquiring Fund, the corresponding Acquired Fund and CSAM.

1.3. Immediately following the action contemplated by paragraph 1.1, each Acquired Fund will (a) distribute to its shareholders of record with respect to each class of Acquired Fund Shares as of the Closing Date as defined in paragraph 3.1 (“Acquired Fund Shareholders”), on a pro rata basis within that class, the Acquiring Fund Shares of the corresponding class received by the Acquired Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.1 and (b) as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, completely liquidate. Such distribution and liquidation will be accomplished, with respect to each class of Acquired Fund Shares, by the transfer of the corresponding Acquiring Fund Shares then credited to the account of each Acquired Fund on the books of the applicable Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of the applicable Acquiring Fund in the names of the Acquired Fund Shareholders. An Acquiring Fund shall not issue certificates representing any class of Acquiring Fund Shares in connection with such exchange. The aggregate net asset value of each class of Acquiring Fund Shares to be so credited to each corresponding class of Acquired Fund Shareholders shall, with respect to each class, be equal to the aggregate net asset value of the Acquired Fund Shares of that class owned by Acquired Fund Shareholders on the Valuation Date. All issued and outstanding Acquired Fund Shares will simultaneously be redeemed and canceled on the books of the Acquired Fund. The Acquired Funds, or the investment company

- 4 -

of which the Acquired Fund is a series, will be dissolved in accordance with the laws of Maryland as soon as practicable following the Closing Date.

1.4. Ownership of Acquiring Fund Shares will be shown on the books of each Acquiring Fund’s Transfer Agent, as defined in paragraph 3.3.

1.5. Any reporting responsibility of an Acquired Fund, including, but not limited to, the responsibility for filing regulatory reports, tax returns, or other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), any state securities commission, and any federal, state or local tax authorities or any other relevant regulatory authority, is and shall remain the responsibility of the Acquired Fund.

1.6. At least fifteen business days prior to the Valuation Date, CSAM, on behalf of an Acquired Fund, will provide AAMI with a schedule of the Assets held by each Acquired Fund. At least ten business days prior to the Valuation Date, AAMI, on behalf of an Acquiring Fund will advise CSAM of any investments of an Acquired Fund shown on the Acquired Fund’s schedule of securities which an Acquiring Fund would not be permitted to hold (i) under its investment objective, principal investment strategies or investment restrictions; (ii) under applicable law; or (iii) because the transfer of such investments would result in material operational or administrative difficulties to an Acquiring Fund in connection with facilitating the orderly transition of an Acquired Fund’s Assets. Under such circumstances, to the extent practicable, an Acquired Fund will, if requested by an Acquiring Fund and, to the extent permissible and consistent with its own investment objectives and policies and the fiduciary duties of the investment adviser responsible for the portfolio management of the Acquired Fund, dispose of such investments prior to the Valuation Date. In addition, if it is determined that the portfolios of an Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund, when aggregated, would contain investments exceeding certain percentage limitations to which an Acquiring Fund is or will be subject with respect to such investments, to the extent practicable, an Acquired Fund will, if requested by an Acquiring Fund and, to the extent permissible and consistent with its own investment objectives and policies and the fiduciary duties of the investment adviser responsible for the portfolio management of the Acquired Fund, dispose of and/or reinvest a sufficient amount of such investments as may be necessary to avoid violating such limitations as of the Valuation Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein will require an Acquired Fund to dispose of any Assets, if, in the reasonable judgment of the Acquired Fund’s investment adviser, such disposition would adversely affect the tax-free nature of the Reorganization for federal income tax purposes or would otherwise not be in the best interests of an Acquired Fund.

2.	VALUATION

	2.1. The value of the Assets shall be the value of such Assets as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange and after the declaration of any dividends on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date (such time and date being hereinafter called the “Valuation Date”), computed using the valuation procedures set forth in then-current prospectus and statement of additional information with respect to each Acquired Fund and valuation procedures established by each Acquired Fund’s Board of Directors.

- 5 -

2.2. All computations of value shall be made by State Street Bank and Trust Company, in its capacity as co-administrator for each Acquired Fund, and shall be subject to review by each Acquiring Fund’s sub-administrator, Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc., and by each Acquiring Fund’s independent accountants. Each Acquired Fund and the Trust agree to use all reasonable commercial efforts to resolve prior to the Valuation Date any material pricing differences between the prices of portfolio securities determined in accordance with the pricing policies and procedures of an Acquired Fund and those determined in accordance with the pricing policies and procedures of its corresponding Acquiring Fund.

3.	CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE

	3.1. The Closing Date for the Reorganization shall be June 30, 2009, or such other date as an authorized officer of each of the parties may agree. All acts taking place at the closing of the transactions provided for in this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall be deemed to take place simultaneously as of immediately before the opening of business on the Closing Date unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. The Closing shall be held at the offices of the Acquired Funds or at such other place as an authorized officer of each of the parties may agree. To the extent any Acquired Fund’s Assets are for any reason not transferred on the Closing Date, an Acquired Fund shall cause such Acquired Fund’s Assets to be transferred in accordance with this Agreement at the earliest practicable date thereafter.

3.2. Each Acquired Fund shall direct State Street Bank and Trust Company, as custodian for the Acquired Fund (“Custodian”), to deliver to the Trust, on behalf of each Acquiring Fund, at the Closing, a certificate of an authorized officer stating that (i) the Assets of each Acquired Fund have been delivered in proper form to the corresponding Acquiring Fund within two business days prior to or on the Closing Date, and (ii) all necessary taxes in connection with the delivery of the Assets of each Acquired Fund, including all applicable federal and state stock transfer stamps, if any, have been paid or provision for payment has been made. Each Acquired Fund’s portfolio securities represented by a certificate or other written instrument shall be presented by the Custodian to the Trust’s custodian. Such presentation shall be made for examination no later than five business days preceding the Closing Date, and such certificates and other written instruments shall be transferred and delivered by each Acquired Fund as of the Closing Date for the account of the corresponding Acquiring Fund duly endorsed in proper form for transfer in such condition as to constitute good delivery thereof. The Custodian shall deliver to the Trust’s custodian the Assets of each Acquired Fund as of the Closing Date by book entry, in accordance with the customary practices of the Custodian and of each securities depository, in accordance with Rule 17f-4, Rule 17f-5 or Rule 17f-7, as the case may be, under the 1940 Act. The cash to be transferred by each Acquired Fund shall be delivered by wire transfer of federal funds on the Closing Date.

3.3. Each Acquired Fund or the Acquired Fund’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) shall deliver to the Trust, on behalf of each Acquiring Fund, at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer stating that its records contain the name and address of each Acquired Fund Shareholder and the number and percentage ownership of each outstanding class of shares owned by each such shareholder immediately prior to the Closing. Each Acquiring Fund shall

- 6 -

deliver to the Secretary of the corresponding Acquired Fund a confirmation evidencing that (a) the appropriate number of Acquiring Fund Shares have been credited to the Acquired Fund’s account on the books of the applicable Acquiring Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.1 prior to the actions contemplated by paragraph 1.3, (b) the appropriate number of Acquiring Fund Shares have been credited to the accounts of the Acquired Fund Shareholders on the books of the applicable Acquiring Fund pursuant to paragraph 1.4 and (c) the information set out in clause (a) and (b) was provided by the Trust’s custodian. At the Closing each Acquired Fund shall deliver to the corresponding Acquiring Fund such bills of sale, checks, assignments, share certificates, if any, receipts or other documents as the corresponding Acquiring Fund or its counsel may reasonably request.

3.4. In the event that on the Valuation Date (a) the New York Stock Exchange or another primary trading market for portfolio securities of an Acquiring Fund or the corresponding Acquired Fund (each, an “Exchange”) shall be closed to trading or trading thereupon shall be restricted, or (b) trading or the reporting of trading on such Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that, in the judgment of either an appropriate officer of the Trust or an appropriate officer of the Acquired Funds, accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of the Acquired Fund is impracticable, the Valuation Date and the Closing Date shall be postponed until the first business day after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored or such later dates as may be mutually agreed in writing by an authorized officer of each party.

(h) No litigation or administrative proceeding or investigation of or before any court, governmental body or regulatory agency is presently pending or, to the Trust’s knowledge, threatened against the Trust, with respect to any Acquiring Fund or any of the Acquiring Funds’ properties or assets, that, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect any

- 14 -

with its terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles;

(r) As of the effective date of the Registration Statement, the date of the meeting of shareholders of each Acquired Fund and the Closing Date, the Prospectus/Proxy Statement, including the documents contained or incorporated therein by reference (insofar as it relates to the Trust and any Acquiring Fund) will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not materially misleading; provided, however, that the representations and warranties in this subparagraph (s) shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Prospectus/Proxy Statement made in reliance upon and in conformity with information that was furnished by an Acquired Fund for use therein;

(u) The minute books and other similar records of the Trust as made available to an Acquired Fund prior to the execution of this Agreement contain a true and complete record in all material respects of all action taken at all meetings and by all written consents in lieu of meetings of the shareholders of the Trust and of each Acquiring Fund, and the Trust’s Board of Trustees and committees of the Trust’s Board of Trustees;

(v) The Trust and each Acquiring Fund have maintained, or caused to be maintained on its behalf, in all material respects, all books and records required of a registered investment company in compliance with the requirements of Section 31 of the 1940 Act and rules thereunder and such books and records are true and correct in all material respects; and

(w) The Trust has adopted and implemented written policies and procedures in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act.

Each Acquired Fund will call a meeting of the Acquired Fund Shareholders as soon as practicable after the date of filing the Prospectus/Proxy Statement to be held prior to the Closing Date to consider and act upon this Agreement and to take all other action necessary to obtain the required shareholder approval of the transactions contemplated hereby. In the event that any Acquired Fund receives insufficient votes from shareholders, the meeting may be adjourned as permitted under an Acquired Fund’s applicable Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, applicable law and the Prospectus/Proxy Statement in order to permit further solicitation of proxies.

In addition, the Trust and each Acquired Fund will provide each other and their respective representatives with such cooperation, assistance and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any tax returns, amended return or claim for refund, determining a liability for taxes or a right to a refund of taxes or participating in or conducting any audit or other proceeding in respect of taxes, or in determining the financial reporting of any tax position.

(f) No gain or loss will be recognized by Acquired Fund Shareholders upon the exchange of all of their Acquired Fund Shares for the Acquiring Fund Shares.

(g) The aggregate tax basis of the Acquiring Fund Shares to be received by each shareholder of the Acquired Fund will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of Acquired Fund Shares exchanged therefor.

- 23 -

The opinion will be based on certain factual certifications made by officers of each Acquired Fund and the Trust and will also be based on customary assumptions. The opinion is not a guarantee that the tax consequences of the Reorganization will be as described above. There is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or a court would agree with the opinion.

8.8. Prior to the Closing, the Trust’s Board of Trustees shall have approved: (a) an investment management agreement or agreements between the Trust, on behalf of each Acquiring Fund, and AAMI and sub-advisory agreements between AAMI, on behalf of each Acquiring Fund, and each of Aberdeen Asset Management Investment Services Limited and Aberdeen Asset Management Asia Limited, as sub-advisers to the Acquiring Funds, pursuant to which the aggregate management fees proposed to be paid by each Acquiring Fund to such adviser and sub-advisers are the same as or lower than the aggregate management fees paid by the corresponding Acquired Fund as of the Closing Date; and (b) various service provider arrangements between the Trust, on behalf of each Acquiring Fund, and the Acquiring Funds’ distributor, administrator, transfer agent, custodian and independent registered public accounting firm on terms materially consistent with any materials provided to the Acquiring Funds by AAMI prior to the Closing Date.

8.11. Prior to the Closing, AAMI has agreed for a period of two years following the consummation of the Reorganization to limit the net expense ratio of each class of each Acquiring Fund so that it does not exceed the net expense ratio of the corresponding class of the corresponding Acquired Fund in effect at the time of the Reorganization.

8.12. At any time prior to the Closing, any of the foregoing conditions of this Section 8 (except for paragraph 8.1) may be jointly waived by the Board of Directors of the Acquired Funds and the Board of Trustees of the Trust, if, in the judgment of the Board of Directors of the Acquired Fund, such waiver will not have a material adverse effect on the interests of the Acquired Fund Shareholders and, if, in the judgment of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, such

- 24 -

waiver will not have a material adverse effect on the interests of the shareholders of each Acquiring Fund.

9.	BROKERAGE FEES AND EXPENSES

9.2. Each Acquired Fund and the Trust and its Acquiring Funds will not bear any costs arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The responsibility for payment of all of the costs arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are concluded, shall be allocated between CSAM (or an affiliate thereof) and AAMI (or an affiliate thereof) as CSAM (or an affiliate thereof) and AAMI (or an affiliate thereof) shall agree.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, expenses will in any event be paid by the party directly incurring such expenses if and to the extent that the payment by another person of such expenses would result in the disqualification of such party as a regulated investment company or would prevent the Reorganization from qualifying as a tax-free reorganization.

10.	ENTIRE AGREEMENT; TERMINATION OF WARRANTIES

	10.1. The Trust and each Acquired Fund agree that neither party has made any representation, warranty or covenant, on behalf of either an Acquiring Fund or an Acquired Fund, respectively, not set forth herein and that this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties.

10.2. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall not survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the covenants to be performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing.

11. TERMINATION

This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned by resolution of the either the Board of Trustees of the Trust or the Board of Directors of each Acquired Fund, at any time prior to the Closing Date, if circumstances should develop that, in the opinion of that Board, make proceeding with the Agreement inadvisable with

- 25 -

respect to any Acquiring Fund or any Acquired Fund, respectively. In addition, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date:

(a) by the written consent of each of the Parties;

(b) by an Acquired Fund (i) following a material breach by the Trust of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, provided that the Trust shall have been given a period of 10 business days from the date of the occurrence of such material breach to cure such breach and shall have failed to do so; or (ii) upon the occurrence of an event which has a material adverse effect upon the Trust or an Acquiring Fund; or

(c) by the Trust (i) following a material breach by an Acquired Fund of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, provided that an Acquired Fund shall have been given a period of 10 business days from the date of the occurrence of such material breach to cure such breach and shall have failed to do so; or (ii) upon the occurrence of an event which has a material adverse effect upon an Acquired Fund.

If a party terminates this Agreement in accordance with this Section 11, other than a termination under (b) or (c) in connection with a willful default, there shall be no liability for damages on the part of any party, or the trustees, directors or officers of such party. In the event of a termination under (b) or (c) in connection with a willful default, all remedies at law or in equity of the party adversely affected shall survive.

At any time prior to the Closing Date, any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement (except for paragraph 8.1) may be waived by either an Acquired Fund or the Trust, respectively (whichever is entitled to the benefit thereof). Such waiver shall be in writing and authorized by an officer of the waiving party. The failure of either party hereto to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of any such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of either party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

12. AMENDMENTS

This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented in such manner as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the authorized officers of each Acquired Fund and the Trust; provided, however, that following the meeting of the shareholders of each Acquired Fund called by the Acquired Funds pursuant to paragraph 5.2 of this Agreement, no such amendment may have the effect of changing the provisions for determining the number of Acquiring Fund Shares to be issued to each corresponding class of Acquired Fund Shareholders, under this Agreement to the detriment of such shareholders without their further approval.

EXHIBIT B

SUB-INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

DATED _____________, 2009

Aberdeen Asset Management Investment Services Limited
One Bow Churchyard
London, England EC4M9HH

Dear Sirs:

Credit Suisse International Focus Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Maryland, and Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC, as investment adviser to the Fund ("CSAM"), herewith confirm their agreement with Aberdeen Asset Management Investment Services Limited (the “Sub-Adviser”), a United Kingdom corporation, as follows:

1. Investment Description; Appointment

The Fund desires to employ the capital of the Fund by investing and reinvesting in securities of the kind and in accordance with the limitations specified in the Fund's Articles of Incorporation, as may be amended from time to time (the "Articles of Incorporation"), and in the Fund's Prospectus(es) and Statement(s) of Additional Information, as from time to time in effect (the "Prospectus" and "SAI," respectively), and in such manner and to such extent as may from time to time be approved by the Board of Directors of the Fund. Copies of the Prospectus, SAI and Articles of Incorporation have been or will be submitted to the Sub-Adviser. The Fund agrees to promptly provide the Sub-Adviser copies of all amendments to the Prospectus and SAI on an on-going basis. The Fund employs CSAM as its investment adviser. CSAM desires to employ and hereby appoints the Sub-Adviser to act as its sub-investment adviser upon the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Sub-Adviser accepts the appointment and agrees to furnish the services set forth below for the compensation provided for herein.

2. Services as Sub-Investment Adviser

(a) Subject to the supervision and direction of CSAM, the Sub-Adviser will provide investment advisory and portfolio management advice to all or that portion of the Fund's assets designated by CSAM from time to time (the "Assets") in accordance with (a) the Articles of Incorporation, (b) the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act"), and all applicable Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and all other applicable laws and regulations, and (c) the Fund's investment objective and policies as stated in the Prospectus and SAI and investment parameters provided by CSAM from time to time. In connection therewith, the Sub-Adviser will:

(i) manage the Assets or furnish recommendations to manage the Assets in accordance with the Fund's investment objective and policies;

(ii) make investment decisions or recommendations with respect to the Assets;

(iii) if requested by CSAM will place purchase and sale orders for securities on behalf of the Fund with respect to the Assets;

(iv) exercise voting rights with respect to the Assets if requested by CSAM; and

(v) furnish CSAM and the Fund's Board of Directors with such periodic and special reports as the Fund or CSAM may reasonably request.

In providing those services, the Sub-Adviser will, if requested by CSAM, provide investment research and supervision of the Assets and conduct a continued program of investment, evaluation and, if appropriate, sale and reinvestment of the Assets.

(b) In connection with the performance of the services of the Sub-Adviser provided for herein, the Sub-Adviser may contract at its own expense with third parties for the acquisition of research, clerical services and other administrative services that would not require such parties to be required to register as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act; provided that the Sub-Adviser shall remain liable for the performance of its duties hereunder.

3. Execution of Transactions

(a) In executing transactions for the Assets, selecting brokers or dealers and negotiating any brokerage commission rates, the Sub-Adviser will use its best efforts to seek best execution. In assessing best execution available for any portfolio transaction, the Sub-Adviser will consider all factors it deems relevant including, but not limited to, the breadth of the market in the security, the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker or dealer and the reasonableness of any commission for the specific transaction and for transactions executed through the broker or dealer in the aggregate. In selecting brokers or dealers to execute a particular transaction and in evaluating the best overall terms available, to the extent that the execution and price offered by more than one broker or dealer are comparable the Sub-Adviser may consider any brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) provided to the Sub-Adviser or to CSAM for use on behalf of the Fund or other clients of the Sub-Adviser or CSAM.

(b) It is understood that the services of the Sub-Adviser are not exclusive, and nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Sub-Adviser from providing similar services to other investment companies or from engaging in other activities, provided that those activities do not adversely affect the ability of the Sub-Adviser to perform its services under this Agreement. The Fund and CSAM further understand and acknowledge that the persons employed by the Sub-Adviser to assist in the performance of its duties under this Agreement will not devote their full time to that service. Nothing contained in this Agreement will be deemed to limit or restrict the right of the Sub-Adviser or any affiliate of the Sub-Adviser to engage in and devote time and

- 2 -

attention to other businesses or to render services of whatever kind or nature, provided that doing so does not adversely affect the ability of the Sub-Adviser to perform its services under this Agreement.

(c) On occasions when the Sub-Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interest of the Fund as well as of other investment advisory clients of the Sub-Adviser, the Sub-Adviser may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, but shall not be obligated to, aggregate the securities to be so sold or purchased with those of its other clients. In such event, allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Sub-Adviser in a manner that is fair and equitable, in the judgment of the Sub-Adviser, in the exercise of its fiduciary obligations to the Fund and to such other clients. The Fund recognizes that the effect of the aggregation may operate on some occasions to the Fund's advantage or disadvantage. The Sub-Adviser shall provide to CSAM and the Fund all information reasonably requested by CSAM and the Fund relating to the decisions made by the Sub-Adviser regarding allocation of securities purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in a transaction, among the Fund and the Sub-Adviser's other investment advisory clients.

(d) In connection with the purchase and sale of securities for the Fund, the Sub-Adviser will provide such information as may be reasonably necessary to enable the custodian and co-administrators to perform their administrative and recordkeeping responsibilities with respect to the Fund.

4. Disclosure Regarding the Sub-Adviser

(a) The Sub-Adviser has reviewed the disclosure about the Sub-Adviser contained in the Fund's registration statement, if applicable, and represents and warrants that, with respect to such disclosure about the Sub-Adviser or information related, directly or indirectly, to the Sub-Adviser, such registration statement contains, as of the date hereof, no untrue statement of any material fact and does not omit any statement of a material fact which is required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

(b) The Sub-Adviser agrees to notify CSAM and the Fund promptly of (i) any statement about the Sub-Adviser contained in the Fund's registration statement that becomes untrue in any material respect, (ii) any omission of a material fact about the Sub-Adviser in the Fund's registration statement which is required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading, or (iii) any reorganization or change in the Sub-Adviser, including any change in its ownership or key employees.

(c) Prior to the Fund or CSAM or any affiliated person (as defined in the 1940 Act, an "Affiliate") of either using or distributing sales literature or other promotional material referring to the Sub-Adviser ("Promotional Material"), the Fund or CSAM, where applicable, shall forward such material to the Sub-Adviser and shall allow the Sub-Adviser reasonable time to review the material. The Sub-Adviser will not act unreasonably in its review of Promotional Material and the Fund or CSAM, where applicable, will use all reasonable efforts to ensure that all Promotional Material used or distributed by or on behalf of the Fund or CSAM will comply

- 3 -

with the requirements of the Advisers Act, the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Pro Forma Notes to Combining Financial Statements

October 31, 2008 (Unaudited)

1.	Description of the Fund

	The Aberdeen International Equity Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”), a series of Aberdeen Funds (the “Trust”), was organized as a statutory trust under the laws of the state of Delaware by a Certificate of Trust filed on September 27, 2007 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. As of October 31, 2008, the Trust had authorized an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest (“shares”) without par value.

	The Acquiring Fund consists of six classes of shares: Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares, Institutional Shares and Institutional Service Shares. All shareholders bear the common expense of the Fund based on the daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are declared separately for each class. Differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in expenses specific to an individual class of shares.





2.	Basis of Combination

	The accompanying pro forma financial statements are presented to show the effect of the proposed acquisition of Credit Suisse International Focus Fund, (the “Target Fund”), an open-end management investment company registered under the 1940 Act, by the Acquiring Fund as if such acquisition had taken place as of October 31, 2008.

	Under the terms of the Reorganization Agreement, the combination of Target Fund and Acquiring Fund will be accounted for by the method of accounting for tax-free mergers of investment companies. The acquisition would be accomplished by an acquisition of the net assets of the Target Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund at net asset value. The statement of assets and liabilities and the related statement of operations of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund have been combined as of and for the twelve months ended October 31, 2008. Following the acquisition, the Acquiring Fund will be the accounting survivor. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the accounting survivor and the results of operations for pre-combination periods of the accounting survivor will not be restated.

	The accompanying pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund included in their respective annual reports, each dated October 31, 2008.

	The following notes refer to the accompanying pro forma financial statements as if the above-mentioned acquisition of the Target Fund by the Acquiring Fund had taken place as of October 31, 2008.

Pro Forma Notes to Combining Financial Statements (continued)

October 31, 2008 (Unaudited)

3. Portfolio Valuation

Securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current market value as of “Valuation Time.” Valuation Time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time). Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if there is no sale price, the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board of Trustees”). Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Prices are taken from the primary market or exchange in which each security trades. Investment companies are valued at net asset value as reported by such company.

Most securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued either at fair value (see description below) or at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Foreign securities, currencies, and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of said currencies against the U.S. dollar, as of Valuation Time, as provided by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees.

Debt and other fixed-income securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued at the last quoted bid price provided by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Board of Trustees. In the event such quotes are not available from such pricing agents, then the security may be priced based on bid quotations from broker-dealers. Short-term debt securities such as commercial paper and U.S. Treasury Bills having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value in the judgment of the investment adviser or designee, are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The “Fair Value” of these securities is determined in good faith by taking into account relevant factors and surrounding circumstances. Fair value determinations are made for securities whose value is affected by a “significant” event that materially affects the value of a domestic or foreign security which occurs subsequent to the time of the close of the principal market on which such domestic or foreign security trades and before the Valuation Time.

Foreign equity securities are valued at fair value in the circumstances described below. Generally, trading in foreign securities markets is completed each day at various times prior to the Valuation Time. In addition, foreign securities trading generally or in a particular country or countries may not take place on days that the Acquiring Fund conducts business (“Business Days”). Furthermore, trading may take place in various foreign markets on days which are not Business Days and days on which the Acquiring Fund’s net asset value is not

calculated. “Fair Value” prices will be used with respect to foreign securities for which an independent pricing agent is able to provide automated daily fair values. Those securities for which an independent pricing agent is not able to provide automated daily fair values shall continue to be valued at the last sale price at the close of the exchange on which the security is principally traded except that market maker prices may be used if deemed appropriate. Due to the time differences between the closings of the relevant foreign securities exchanges and the Valuation Time, the Acquiring Fund will fair value its foreign investments when it is determined that the market quotations for the foreign investments are not readily available, are unreliable or may be affected by a significant event and, therefore, do not represent fair value. Fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. When the fair value prices are utilized, the values assigned to the foreign investments may not be the quoted or published prices of the investments on their primary markets or exchanges

4. Capital Shares

The pro forma net asset value per share assumes the issuance of shares of the Acquiring Fund that would have been issued at October 31, 2008, in connection with the proposed reorganization. The number of shares assumed to be issued is equal to the net asset value of share of the Target Fund, as of October 31, 2008, divided by the net asset value per share of the share of the Acquiring Fund as of October 31, 2008. Under the terms of the Reorganization Agreement, Class A Shares of the Acquiring Fund will be issued in exchange for Class A Shares and Class B Shares of the Target Fund, Class C Shares of the Acquiring Fund will be issued in exchange for Class C Shares of the Target Fund, Class R Shares of the Acquiring Fund will be issued in exchange for Advisor Shares of the Target Fund, and Institutional Service Shares of the Acquiring Fund will be issued in exchange for Common Shares of the Target Fund. Additional Class B Shares and Institutional Shares of the Acquiring Fund will not be issued in connection with the acquisition of the Target Fund. The pro forma number of shares outstanding, by class, for the combined fund consists of the following at October 31, 2008:

5. Federal Income Taxes

Each fund intends to qualify or continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve the Fund from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.

PART C: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 15. Indemnification

(a) Article VII, Section 2 of the Registrant’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust (“Trust Declaration”) provides that the Registrant (the “Trust”), out of the Trust Property, shall indemnify and hold harmless each and every officer and trustee from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever arising out of or related to such officer’s or trustee’s performance of his or her duties as an officer or trustee of the Trust. This limitation on liability applies to events occurring at the time a person serves as a trustee or officer of the Trust whether or not such person is a trustee or officer at the time of any proceeding in which liability is asserted. Nothing in the Trust Declaration shall indemnify, hold harmless or protect any officer or trustee from or against any liability to the Trust or any shareholder to which such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such person’s office (such conduct referred to herein as “Disqualifying Conduct”).

For the purpose of this indemnification and limitation of liability, “Agent” means any person who is or was a trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust or is or was serving at the request of the Trust as a trustee, director, officer, employee or other agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; “Proceeding” means any threatened, pending or completed action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative. To the fullest extent that limitations on the liability of Agents are permitted by the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, as amended, and other applicable law, the Agents shall not be responsible or liable in any event for any act or omission of any other Agent of the Trust or any investment adviser or principal underwriter of the Trust. No amendment or repeal of Article VII of the Trust Declaration regarding indemnification shall adversely affect any right or protection of an Agent that exists at the time of such amendment or repeal.

(b) The Registrant’s Trust Declaration provides that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the officers and Trustees shall be entitled and have the authority to purchase with Trust Property, insurance for liability and for all expenses reasonably incurred or paid or expected to be paid by a Trustee or officer in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which such Person becomes involved by virtue of such Person’s capacity or former capacity with the Trust, whether or not the Trust would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of Article VII of the Trust Declaration.

(c) In addition, indemnification against certain liabilities of the Registrant’s trustees and officers and the Registrant’s sub-advisers, administrator, principal underwriter and custodian are provided in: (1) Section 7(b) of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Registrant and Aberdeen Asset Management, Inc. (“AAMI”) (2) Section 10(b) of the Sub-Advisory Agreements among the Registrant, AAMI and each of the following sub-advisers; (a) Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC; (b) Aberdeen Asset Management Asia Limited and (c) Aberdeen Asset Management Investment Services

Limited; (3) Section 9(a) and (b) of the Underwriting Agreement between the Registrant and Aberdeen Fund Distributors LLC; (4) Section 10(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of the Services Agreement between the Registrant and Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. and (g) Section 7.1(c) of the Global Custody Agreement between the Registrant and JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. Generally, such indemnification does not apply to any liabilities by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence and reckless disregard of duties. These Agreements are incorporated herein by reference to Item 16.
