Investing in value stocks may limit downside risk over time; however, the Fund may produce more modest gains than riskier stock funds as a trade-off for this potentially lower risk. Investing in small- or medium-capitalization stocks may involve greater volatility and lower liquidity than larger company stocks. Because the Fund may invest in fewer issuers than a more diversified portfolio, the fluctuating value of a single holding may have a greater effect on the value of the Fund. The Fund participates in a securities lending program. Please see the prospectus for a complete discussion of the Fund’s risks. There can be no assurances that the investment objectives of this Fund will be met.

The P/E Ratio of a stock is calculated by dividing the current price by forecasted 12-month earnings per share.

R-squared (R2) is the percentage of the Fund’s three-year return that is explained by movements in its benchmark index. Alpha is a measure of the Fund’s expected performance versus the benchmark, adjusted for relative risk. Beta is a measure of the Fund’s volatility versus the benchmark. Sharpe Ratio is a measure of the Fund’s return per unit of total risk. Standard Deviation is a measure of the historical volatility of the Fund’s returns.
