The Mid Cap Value Fund, under normal circumstances, invests at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of equity and equity related securities of companies with market capitalizations at the time of initial purchase similar to those in the Russell Midcap Value Index (“mid cap companies”) that are publicly traded on a U.S. securities market.

The market capitalization range of the Russell Midcap Value Index changes constantly, and as a result, the capitalization of mid cap companies in which the Mid Cap Value Fund will invest will also change. As of September 30, 2009, the market capitalization range of the Russell Midcap Value Index was from approximately $360 million to $12.92 billion.

Supported by an experienced team of investment professionals, the portfolio managers make judgments about the relative attractiveness of various securities in selecting stocks for the Mid Cap Value Mutual Fund. This Fund typically will be invested in 50 to 60 stocks. Although the Fund is built from the bottom up, stock-specific risks, sector weightings and risk/reward characteristics are all taken into account in the portfolio construction process.

Principal investment risks: The Fund invests in value stocks which can perform differently from the market on whole and may continue to be undervalued for long periods of time. Compared to mutual funds that focus exclusively on large capitalization companies, shares of the Fund may be more volatile because they invest in mid capitalization companies. Mid capitalization companies are likely to have more limited product lines, fewer capital resources and less depth of management than larger companies.
