Important Risks:
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss. Investing involves risk, including loss of principle. The value of the fund’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Risks associated with Equity Income and Opportunity Funds
Shares in the Fund may fluctuate, sometimes significantly, based on market conditions and other factors. As with any mutual fund investment, the Fund's returns may vary, and you could lose money. The Fund value might decrease in response to the activities and financial prospects of an individual company. The Fund may incur greater transaction costs and realized capital gains as a result of higher turnover of securities. Common stocks tend to be more volatile than other investment choices. The Adviser's judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of particular securities in which the Fund invests may prove to be incorrect and there is no guarantee that the Adviser's judgment or quantitative model will produce the desired results. In addition, the stocks of small sized and medium sized companies are subject to certain risks including possible dependence on a limited product line, limited financial resources or a limited management group, less frequent trading and trading with smaller volume than larger stocks, which may make it difficult for the Fund to buy or sell the stocks, and/or greater fluctuation in value than larger, more established company stocks.
Risks associated with Core, Intermediate, Short, Core Plus and Enhanced Return Funds
Shares in the Fund may fluctuate, sometimes significantly, based on interest rates, market conditions, credit quality and other factors. In a rising interest rate environment, the value of an income fund is likely to fall. Generally, bond values will decline as interest rates rise. The market's behavior is unpredictable and there can be no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its goal. The Fund's performance could be affected if borrowers pay back principal on certain debt securities before or after the market anticipates such payments, shortening or lengthening their duration, and could magnify the effect of the rate increase on such security's price. To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in particular bond market sectors, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors. When issued/delayed-delivery securities can have a leverage-like effect on the Fund, which may increase fluctuation in the Fund's share price and may cause the Fund to liquidate positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its purchase obligations. Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss. Fixed income investments are affected by a number of risks, including fluctuation in interest rates, credit risk, and prepayment risk. In general, as prevailing interest rates rise, fixed income prices will fall. The Enhanced Return Fund may be slightly under-invested or slightly over-invested compared to the underlying S&P 500 equity index, which could cause the Fund to be slightly less or more volatile than the underlying index, and the Fund's returns from the futures contracts may not mirror the underlying index.
Risks of investing in the Funds are not limited to those discussed above. Investors should refer to the Fund prospectus for a complete listing of principal risks of investing in each Fund.
