Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Small- and medium- capitalization companies tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. Investment in IPO’s can be volatile and can fluctuate considerably. IPO’s can have magnified impact on funds with a small asset base. Investments in foreign securities and emerging markets countries involve greater volatility and political, economic, and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for emerging markets. Investment in REIT securities involve risks such as declines in the value of real estate and increased susceptibility to adverse economic regulatory expenses. The fund will invest in derivatives which may be more volatile than investments directly in the underlying securities, involve additional costs and may involve a small initial investment relative to the risk assumed.

The Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses must be considered carefully before investing.

The MSCI ACWI ex USA Small Cap Index (Net) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of small capitalization developed and emerging markets, excluding the United States. “Net” indicates that this series approximates the minimum possible dividend reinvestment. The dividend is reinvested after deduction of withholding tax, applying the rate applicable to non-resident individuals who do not benefit from double taxation treaties. MSCI uses withholding tax rates applicable to Luxembourg holding companies. You cannot invest directly in an Index.

About Morningstar Ratings

For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar RatingTM based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more 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 within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. Rainier International Discovery Fund (RAIIX) was rated against the following numbers of Foreign Small/Mid Growth funds over the following time periods: 127 funds in the last three years.
