Investors should carefully read the prospectus, the key investor information document and all other relevant documentation before investing in the fund. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Currency fluctuations may have a negative impact on the value of an investment in the fund. Net performance results are calculated after management fees and certain operational costs, commissions, fees and other charges that could have a negative impact on performance. The performance figures given are a measure of the change in net asset value of the Fund which are net of all Fund fees and expenses but do not take into account taxes or charges. The S&P 500 NR Index is a market-value weighted index consisting of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. The Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. Both indexes include a 30% withholding for non-US securities. One cannot invest directly in an index.
