Standard Deviation measures the volatility of the Fund’s returns. Beta measures the Fund’s sensitivity to market movements.

Sharpe Ratio uses the Fund’s standard deviation and average excess return over the risk-free rate to determine reward per unit of risk.

Portfolio Turnover is calculated by dividing the lesser of purchases or sales of portfolio securities for the fiscal year by the monthly average of the value of the portfolio securities owned by the Fund during the fiscal year.

Weighted Average Market Capitalization is a dollar-value measurement of the size of companies in a portfolio or index. In such a weighting scheme, an average figure is derived from the market capitalizations of each company (their market prices multiplied by the number of shares outstanding) multiplied by their weights in the portfolio or index.

Active Share is a measure of the percentage of stock holdings in a manager’s portfolio that differ from the benchmark index. Active share was calculated using an index ETF.

Active Management: Due to the active management of the Fund the Fund could underperform its benchmark index and/or other funds with similar investment objectives and strategies.

Record Date: the cutoff established by the fund to determine the shareholders eligible to receive a dividend or distribution.

Payable & Reinvestment Date: refers to the date that any dividends are due to be paid out to shareholders as of the record date. For shareholders who elect to have dividends reinvested into the fund rather than paid out, this is also the date of reinvestment, i.e. reinvestment date.

Reinvestment NAV: the price per share on the day the distribution is reinvested.

Income: revenue received from an investment.

ST (Short Term) Gain: profits realized from the sale of investments held for one year or less, taxed at the taxpayer's top marginal tax rate or regular income tax bracket, which can range from 10% to 37%. Short-term capital gains receive less preferential tax treatment compared to assets held for at least one year taxed at lower long-term capital gain rates.

LT (Long Term) Gain: profits realized from the sale of investments held for greater than one year, taxed between 0% and 20%, depending on the investor’s income.

Total Per Share: reflects the total dividend income paid out to shareholders, divided by the number of outstanding shares of the fund.

Important Risk Information: Investing involves risk, including loss of principal. The value of the fund's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Value stocks are those that are believed to be undervalued in comparison to their peers due to adverse business developments or other factors. Value investing is subject to the risk that the market will not recognize a security’s inherent value for a long time or at all, or that a stock judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced or overvalued. In addition, during some periods (which may be extensive), value stocks generally may be out of favor in the markets.

Investments in smaller companies may be riskier, less liquid, more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than investment in larger, more established companies.

The Russell 2000 Index is an unmanaged market capitalization-weighted index comprised of the smallest 2,000 companies by market capitalization in the Russell 3000 Index, which is comprised of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies by total market capitalization.

The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or "star rating", is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustment for sales loads. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/ 30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10- year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods.

Annually, a fund must distribute all realized capital gains net of realized losses, so the fund will not be subject to an entity level income tax. A fund's capital gain distribution in a particular year may be a result of the disposition of holdings that appreciated in value during prior years. Thus, while the fund may gain or lose value over the course of a year, a capital gain distribution paid by the fund may not be indicative of current performance of the fund. The distributable amount of net capital gains are paid on a per-share basis to all investors who hold shares of the fund on the record date of the distribution and are recognized by the shareholder for tax purposes as of the ex-date of the distribution, regardless of when the gains or losses arose in the fund. Net gains on holdings held long term by the fund would be distributed to shareholders as a long-term capital gain distribution no matter how long the shareholder has owned shares in the fund. Refer to the fund's annual report or statement of additional information for specific information regarding distributions.
