Fund Description
Fund Objective
To seek to provide capital appreciation.

Investment Approach
The Fund primarily uses fundamental, bottom-up research while considering a top-down (assess the market environment) and quantitative analysis. The Fund seeks to invest in stocks the manager believes are undervalued, or those trading at a significant discount relative to the intrinsic value of the company and/or are out of favor in the financial markets but have a favorable outlook for capital preservation.

Risk Factors: While the Fund seeks to minimize tax distributions to shareholders, it may realize capital gains and earn some dividends. 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 describe 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 1000 Value is an unmanaged index comprised of securities that represent the large 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 0.69% and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses would have been: Class A, 1.52%, Class B, 2.55%, Class C, 2.48%, and Class Y, 0.94%.

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.
