Important Risks: Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Security prices fluctuate in value depending on general market and economic conditions and the prospects of individual companies. • Small-cap securities can have greater risks, including liquidity risk, and volatility than large-cap securities. • Value investing style may go in and out of favor, which may cause the Fund to underperform other equity funds that use different investing styles. • The value of securities selected using quantitative analysis can perform differently from the market as a whole or from their expected performance. • The Fund's investments may fluctuate in value over a short period of time. • To the extent the Fund focuses on one or more sectors, the Fund may be subject to increased volatility and risk of loss if adverse developments occur. • Foreign investments may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments and are subject to the risk of currency fluctuations and adverse political, economic and regulatory developments.
