Investment Objective:
To exceed the stock market total return (primarily through
capital appreciation) at a level of total risk roughly equal to
that of the stock market over longer periods of time (three years
or more). The S&P 500 Index with dividends reinvested serves as
a proxy for "stock market" in this objective.
Please see the prospectus for further information
on this new Fund.

*This expense ratio includes a performance-based
management fee that ranges from 0.6% to 1.2% depending on performance
relative to the S & P 500 Index over a trailing five-year
period. Since a five-year period has not been reached, the fee
will be calculated based on the number of quarters that have elapsed
since this fund's inception. The expense ratio is capped at 1.75%,
a maximum that can only be changed by a vote of shareholders.
**Price to earnings ratio is the value of a company's stock price
relative to company earnings. Price to book ratio is the ratio
of a stock's latest closing price divided by its book value per
share. Book value is the total assets of a company minus total
liabilities. Price to cash flow is the ratio of a stock's latest
closing price divided by cash flow per share for the past 12 months.
