Example:
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the
Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your
investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover:
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual
fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 175% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80%
of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of small cap companies and at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities or instruments of issuers located in the
United States. Equity securities consist primarily of common stock, preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock and securities or other instruments whose price is linked to the value of common stock, such as derivatives. The Fund seeks
to buy primarily common stock but also can invest in preferred stock, convertible securities and other equity securities. The Fund management team focuses on small capitalization companies that Fund management believes have above average prospects
for earnings growth. Although a universal definition of small-capitalization companies does not exist, the
Fund generally defines these companies as those with market capitalizations,
at the time of the Fund’s investment, comparable in size to the companies in the Russell 2000
®
Index (between approximately $129 million and $3.3 billion as of May 31, 2013) or to
the companies at the time of their entry in the S&P SmallCap 600
®
Index (between $350 million and $1.6 billion as of June 28, 2013). In the future, the Fund may define
small-capitalization companies using a different index or classification system.
From time to time the Fund may invest in shares of companies
through “new issues” or initial public offerings (“IPOs”).
The Fund may use derivatives, including options, warrants,
futures, indexed securities, inverse securities, swaps and forward contracts both to seek to increase the return of the Fund and to hedge (or protect) the value of its assets against adverse movements in currency exchange rates, interest rates and
movements in the securities markets. In order to manage cash flows into or out of the Fund effectively, the Fund may buy and sell financial futures contracts or options on such contracts. Derivatives are financial instruments whose value is derived
from another security, a commodity (such as oil or gas), a currency or an index, including but not limited to the Russell 2000
®
Index. The use of options, futures, indexed securities,
inverse securities, swaps and forward contracts can be effective in protecting or enhancing the value of the Fund’s assets.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Risk is inherent in all investing. The value of your
investment in Small Cap Growth Equity, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly from day to day and over time. You may lose part or all of your investment in the Fund or your investment may not
perform as well as other similar investments. The following is a summary description of principal risks of investing in the Fund.
■
|
Convertible Securities Risk
— The market value of a convertible security performs like that of a regular debt security; that is, if market interest rates rise, the value of a convertible security usually falls. In addition,
convertible securities are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due, and their market value may change based on changes in the issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of the
issuer’s creditworthiness. Since it derives a portion of its value from the common stock into which it may be converted, a convertible security is also subject to the same types of market and issuer risks that apply to the underlying common
stock.
|
■
|
Derivatives Risk
— The Fund’s use of derivatives may reduce the Fund’s returns and/or increase volatility. Volatility is defined as the characteristic of a security, an index or a market to fluctuate
significantly in price within a short time period. A risk of the Fund’s use of derivatives is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate perfectly with the overall securities markets. Derivatives are also subject to counterparty
risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation. The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the Fund to sell or otherwise close a
derivatives position could expose the Fund to losses and could make derivatives more difficult for the Fund to value accurately. Valuation may be more difficult in times of market turmoil since many investors and market makers may be reluctant to
purchase complex instruments or quote prices for them. Derivatives also may expose the Fund to greater risk and increase its costs. Certain transactions in derivatives involve substantial leverage risk and may expose the Fund to potential losses
that exceed the amount originally invested by the Fund. Recent legislation calls for new regulation of the derivatives markets. The extent and impact of the regulation is not yet known and may not be known for some time. New regulation may make
derivatives more costly, may limit the availability of derivatives, or may otherwise adversely affect the value or performance of derivatives.
|
■
|
Equity Securities Risk
— Stock markets are volatile. The price of an equity security fluctuates based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions.
|
■
|
High Portfolio Turnover Risk
— The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of its portfolio securities. High portfolio turnover (more than 100%) may result in increased transaction costs to the Fund, including
brokerage commissions, dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of the securities and on reinvestment in other securities. The sale of Fund portfolio securities may result in the realization and distribution to shareholders of higher
capital gains or losses as compared to a fund with less active trading policies. Given the frequency of sales, such gain or loss will likely be short-term capital gain or loss and would increase an investor’s tax liability unless shares are
held through a tax-deferred or tax-exempt vehicle. These effects of higher than normal portfolio turnover may adversely affect Fund performance.
|
■
|
Investment Style Risk
— Under certain market conditions, growth investments have performed better during the later stages of economic expansion. Therefore, this investment style may over time go in and out of favor. At
times when the investment style used by the Fund is out of favor, the Fund may underperform other equity funds that use different investment styles.
|
■
|
Leverage Risk
— Some transactions may give rise to a form of economic leverage. These transactions may include, among others, derivatives, and may expose the Fund to greater risk and increase its costs. The
use of leverage may cause the Fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or to meet any required asset segregation requirements. Increases and decreases in the value of the Fund’s
portfolio will be magnified when the Fund uses leverage.
|
■
|
Market Risk and Selection Risk
— Market risk is the risk that one or more markets in which the Fund invests will go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably.
Selection risk is the risk that the securities selected by Fund management will underperform the markets, the relevant indices or the securities selected by other funds with similar investment objectives and investment strategies. This means you may
lose money.
|
■
|
“New Issues” Risk
—
“New issues” are initial public offerings of equity securities. Securities issued in IPOs have no trading history, and information about the
companies may be available for very limited periods. In addition, the prices of securities sold in IPOs may be highly volatile or may decline shortly after the initial public offering.
|
■
|
Small Cap and Emerging Growth
Securities Risk
— Small cap or emerging growth companies may have limited product lines or markets. They may be less financially secure than larger, more established companies. They may
depend on a more limited management group than larger capitalized companies.

Performance Information
The information shows you how Small Cap Growth Equity’s
performance has varied year by year and provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The table compares the Fund’s performance to that of the Russell 2000
