Fund Facts   Objective: Seeks capital growth and income through investments in equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible into common and preferred stocks. Portfolio: The Multi-Cap Value team follows a deep value, or contrarian, investment philosophy. This early-in, early-out approach leads the team to out-of-favor companies that it believes offer substantial relative opportunities. The team invests with high conviction and does not manage closely to mirror a benchmark, often making the fund look quite different from its peers.

Risk Considerations

There is no assurance that a mutual fund will achieve its investment objective. Funds are subject to market risk, which is the possibility that the market values of securities owned by the fund will decline and that the value of fund shares may therefore be less than what you paid for them. Accordingly, you can lose money investing in this fund. Please be aware that this fund may be subject to certain additional risks. Foreign and emerging markets. Investments in foreign markets entail special risks such as currency, political, economic, and market risks. The risks of investing in emerging-market countries are greater than the risks generally associated with foreign investments. Other risks associated with investing in the fund include REITS.  In addition to the general risks associated with real-estate investment, REIT investing entails other risks, such as credit and interest-rate risk.
