Beginning January 1, 2009, Japan Smaller Companies' performance will be compared to the Russell/Nomura Mid-Small CapTM Index rather than the Russell/Nomura Small CapTM Index because the Russell/Nomura Mid-Small Cap Index conforms more closely to the fund's investment strategy. The Russell/Nomura Mid-Small Cap Index represents approximately the bottom 50% of the Russell/Nomura Total Market Index. It combines both the Russell/Nomura MidcapTM Index and Russell/Nomura Small Cap Index.
