Fund Description
Fund Objective
To seek to provide growth of capital.

Investment Approach
We employ a bottom-up process focusing on companies we believe have a long-term growth potential and superior financial characteristics, and therefore we believe to be of higher quality than many other small-cap companies. We seek companies with aggressive or creative and strong management, technological or specialized expertise, new or unique products or services, entry into new or emerging industries, growth in earnings/growth in sales/positive cash flows, security size and liquidity.

Returns and Expenses

Data quoted is past performance and current performance may be lower or higher. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Performance at NAV does not include the effect of sales charges. Class A shares, including sales charges, reflects the maximum applicable front-end sales load.

Risk Factors: Investing in companies involved in one specified sector may be more risky and volatile than an investment with greater diversification. As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund's shares will change, and you could lose money on your investment. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. These and other risks are more fully described in the fund's prospectus. Not all funds or fund classes may be offered at all broker/ dealers.

Pricing: All prices and year-to-date returns are based on closing quotes unless noted, as supplied to the NASDAQ by 6:00 p.m. Eastern time.

Stylebox: The style box reveals a fund's investment strategy by displaying the fund's investment style and the market capitalization of the stocks owned.

Index Description: Russell 2000 Growth is an unmanaged index comprised of securities that represent the small cap sector of the stock market. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement: The expenses shown for Management Fees reflect the maximum annual fee payable; however, a reduction in the Fund's management fee rate pursuant to a management fee waiver became effective October 1, 2006, and will remain in effect through September 30, 2016. If this waiver were reflected above, the Management Fees would have been 0.83% and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses would have been: Class A, 1.79%, Class B, 2.85%, Class C, 2.65%, and Class Y, 1.06%.

Performance results for some funds may include the effect of expense reduction arrangements. If those arrangements had not been in place, the performance results would have been lower. Please refer to the fund’s Fund Detail page.

Morningstar Ratings: For each fund with at least a 3-year history, Morningstar calculates a risk-adjusted return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of all sales charges), placing emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund and rated separately.) A fund's overall rating is derived from a weighted average of the 3-, 5- and 10-year (if applicable) rating metrics. Morningstar Rating is for the share classes specified; other classes may have different performance characteristics.

Information is subject to change and is not intended to represent any past or future investment recommendations.

Effective April 1, 2010 Timothy Miller is primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Waddell & Reed Advisors Small Cap Fund.
