Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same and that you reinvest all dividends and distributions. The example reflects contractual fee waivers and reimbursements for the first year only. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 31% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in U.S.-traded equity securities of small-capitalization companies. U.S.-traded equity securities may include American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"). Silvant Capital Management LLC ("Silvant" or the "Subadviser") considers small-capitalization companies to be companies with market capitalizations similar to those of companies in the Russell 2000® Growth Index. As of July 1, 2015, the market capitalization range of companies in the Russell 2000® Growth Index was between approximately $47 million and $4.7 billion.

In selecting investments for purchase and sale, the Subadviser chooses companies that it believes have above-average growth potential to beat expectations as a result of strong business fundamentals, such as revenue growth, improving cash flows, increasing margins and positive earning trends. The Subadviser uses a "bottom-up" process based on company fundamentals. Risk controls are in place to assist in maintaining a portfolio that is diversified by sector and minimizes unintended risks relative to the primary benchmark. It then performs in-depth fundamental analysis to determine the quality and sustainability of expectations to determine whether or not the company is poised to beat expectations. The Subadviser also applies proprietary quantitative models to rank stocks based on improving fundamentals, valuation, capital deployment and efficiency, and sentiment or behavior factors.
Principal Investment Risks
You may lose money if you invest in the Fund. A Fund share is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

ADR Risk: Investments in ADRs involve risks similar to those accompanying direct investments in foreign securities. These include the risk that political and economic events unique to a country or region will affect those markets and their issuers.

Equity Securities Risk: The price of equity securities fluctuates from time to time based on changes in a company's financial condition or overall market and economic conditions. As a result, the value of the Fund's equity securities may fluctuate drastically from day to day.

Growth Stock Risk: "Growth" stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. "Growth" stocks typically are sensitive to market movements because their market prices tend to reflect future expectations. When it appears those expectations will not be met, the prices of growth stocks typically fall.

Small-Capitalization Companies Risk: Small-capitalization stocks tend to perform differently from other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a whole, and can be more volatile than stocks of mid- or large-capitalization companies. Small-capitalization companies may be newer or less established, and may have limited resources, products and markets, and may be less liquid.
