Sharpe Ratio Alpha* Beta* R-Squared* Sharpe ratio is a measure that uses standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. The greater a portfolio s Sharpe ratio, the better its risk-adjusted performance has been. Alpha measures a manager s contribution to performance due to security selection or market timing relative to the index. A positive alpha of 1.0 means the fund has outperformed its benchmark index by 1%. Correspondingly, a similar negative alpha would indicate an underperformance of 1%. Beta is a measure of the volatility, or systematic risk, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the market as a whole. A beta of 1 indicates that the security s price will move with the market. A beta of less than 1 means that the security will be less volatile than the market. A beta of greater than 1 indicates that the security s price will be more volatile than the market. R-squared values range from 0 to 1. An R-squared of 1 means that all movements of a security are completely explained by movements in the index. A low R-squared means you should ignore the beta. *Statistics are measured against the Fund s prospectus benchmark. Before investing, consider the investment options or investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Call or log on to your plan s website for an offering statement or prospectus and, if available, a summary prospectus containing this and other information. Read it carefully. Page 2

For more information on Lipper Leaders, go to Expense Information The Gross Expense Ratio is the fund s total operating expenses taken from the most recent prospectus. This ratio excludes waivers and/or expense reimbursements the Fund Manager might apply. The Net Expense Ratio, also taken from the most recent prospectus, represents the expenses paid with inclusion of waivers and/or expense reimbursements. When waivers and/or expense reimbursements are included, the Fund s expenses will be lowered and performance will be higher for the disclosed expense waiver period. Waiver and/or expense reimbursements can be voluntary or mandated by contract, and can expire either at a specific date, at will, or indefinitely. Funds Closed to New Investors are not required to file a prospectus, thus the prospectus gross and net expense ratios may not be available. In the event that the prospectus expense information is not available the expense ratio reported on the latest audited annual report will be provided. Fees and expenses are only one of many factors to consider when you decide to invest in an option. You may also want to think about whether an investment in a particular option, along with your other investments, will help you achieve your financial goals. Fees and expenses for each investment option include the total annual operating expense (annual gross expense ratio), which reduces the investment s rate of return, along with any associated shareholder-type fees. The cumulative effect of fees and expenses can substantially reduce the growth of your retirement savings. Visit the Department of Labor s website at for an example showing the long-term effect of fees and expenses.

Price to Earnings Ratio (P/E): A measure of a company s valuation that is calculated by dividing the current market price of a stock by the earnings per share.

Return on Equity (ROE): A measure of a company s profitability. ROE represents the average return on equity of the securities in the portfolio. Portfolio Turnover A fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio).

These transaction costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund s performance.

4 Supplemental Information Principal Investment Strategies Principal Investment Strategies Normally the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in the common stocks of small cap companies (normally, those companies with market capitalizations not exceeding the highest market capitalization in the Russell 2000 Index during the preceding 12 months). As of January 31, 2015, companies in the Index had market capitalizations ranging from $16 million to $10.6 billion. The Fund concentrates its investments in the financial services and health care group of industries, which means that at least 25% of the Fund s assets (in the aggregate) are invested in financial services and health care companies. The Fund may invest in foreign securities, including emerging markets, without limit, but such investments are not expected to exceed 20% of the Fund s total assets and typically are limited to the equity securities of companies incorporated outside of the U.S. that are traded on U.S. exchanges and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). In selecting investments for the Fund s portfolio, the Adviser uses fundamental research to evaluate each company, focusing on the company s earnings growth, return on equity, margin stability, and capital management. These and other factors are then weighed against valuation. A stock may be sold, among other reasons, if it has reached a price target, the issuer s fundamental outlook has changed, or a better investment opportunity is available. Principal Investment Risk It is important to understand that you could lose money by investing in the Fund. The following is a summary of the principal risks of investing in the Fund: Stock Market Risk, which is the risk that stock prices will decline. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. Movements in the stock markets may adversely affect a stock s price, regardless of how well a company performs. Market Capitalization Risk, which is the risk that the value of the securities of smaller, less well known companies may perform differently from the market as a whole. Historically, small-cap stocks have been more volatile in price than the large-cap stocks that dominate the overall market. Small-cap companies may have limited product lines, financial and management resources or market and distribution channels. In addition, their shares can be less liquid than those of larger companies, especially during market declines. For purposes of the Fund s investment policies, the market capitalization of a company is based on its market capitalization at the time the Fund purchases the company s securities. Market capitalizations of companies change over time. Concentration Risk, which is the risk that companies within the same industry may decline in value due to issues that affect the entire industry. To the extent that the Fund concentrates its investments in the financial services and health care group of industries, there is a risk that economic conditions or other developments that affect companies in either or both industries will have a significant impact on the Fund s performance. Growth Securities Risk, which is the risk that the price of a growth security may be impacted if the company does not realize its anticipated potential or if there is a shift in the market to favor other types of securities. The stocks of growth companies can be more sensitive to company earnings and more volatile than the market in general. Foreign Securities Risk, Page 4

5 Supplemental Information which is the risk that the value of foreign securities may decline in response to changes in currency exchange rates, unfavorable political developments, sanctions, embargoes or economic and financial instability in a particular country. Foreign securities markets generally have less trading volume and liquidity than U.S. markets, and prices on some foreign markets can be highly volatile. Other risks arise from different accounting, financial reporting and legal standards, as well as higher transaction costs. The securities markets of emerging market countries generally are smaller, less liquid and more volatile than markets in developed countries. The risks described above apply to a greater extent to investments in emerging markets. Security Selection Risk, which is the risk that poor stock selection will cause the Fund to underperform its benchmark or other with similar investment objectives. Active Trading Risk, which is the risk that active trading could raise transaction costs (thus lowering return). In addition, active trading could result in increased taxable distributions to shareholders and distributions that will be taxable to shareholders at higher federal income tax rates. Redemption Risk, which is the risk that the Fund could experience losses as a result of one or more shareholder redemptions. If the Fund is forced to sell assets at inopportune times to meet redemption requests, assets could be sold at a loss or depressed value. In that event, the value of your investment would go down. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Page 5
