Equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, rights and warrants. Under normal market conditions the Asia Focus Fund will invest in companies economically tied to at least four different countries in the Asia Pacific region, which may be developed or emerging markets and which may include Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. For more information about how the Adviser determines that a company is economically tied to the Asia Pacific region, see section “More About Each Fund’s Investment Strategies and Risks” in this Prospectus. The Fund’s allocations among countries may vary depending on changing market conditions (including but not limited to, liquidity, volatility, and the number of companies meeting selection criteria). The Fund will invest in companies in emerging market countries./p p class="Text_flush" style="margin:0;padding:0;border-width:0;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;margin-top:10pt;orphans:2;page-break-after:auto;page-break-before:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:0;widows:2;margin-top:10pt;"The Fund may invest up to 20% of its portfolio in securities of companies that are outside of Asia.

The Fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization size, but under normal conditions, the Fund will invest in companies with a minimum market capitalization of $500 million.
