Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of this Fund carefully before investing. This and other information is contained in the Fund´s prospectus, which may be obtained by contacting your financial advisor, or by calling 888-877-4626. Click here for the Fund´s prospectus. Please read this prospectus carefully before you invest or send money.

The daily section presents performance dating from the inception of the actual share class only.

 

**This is the inception date of the oldest share class, which for this Fund is the D share class. The returns presented are for Class A shares, which were first offered in 2/02. Returns measure performance from the inception of the oldest share class to the present, so some returns predate the inception of Class A. Those returns are calculated by adjusting the D share returns to reflect the A shares' different charges and expenses. Total return performance assumes that all dividend and capital gains distributions were reinvested on the payable date and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

 

This Fund may invest at least 80% of its assets securities of wellness-related companies. This Fund may also invest in foreign securities, up to 15% in emerging market companies, IPOs, and smaller companies. Investing in foreign securities may entail risk due to foreign economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. IPOs are subject to risk in that the securities have no trading history and the price may be volatile. Investments in smaller companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies. This Fund may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of its investment strategy. Use of these instruments may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. Portfolios investing in derivatives could lose more than the principal amount invested in those instruments.

 

Effective 9/4/08, the Fund's benchmark changed from the S&P 500 Index and S&P Healthcare Index to the MSCI World Index and the World Healthcare & Consumer Blended Index.

 

The Standard & Poors 500 Composite Index (S & P 500) is an unmanaged index that is generally representative of the U.S. stock market. The S&P 500 Healthcare Index is a market capitalization weighted index that represents the Health Care sector of the S&P 500 Index. The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index is an unmanaged market-weighted index that consists of over 1,200 securities traded in 23 of the world?most developed countries. Securities are listed on exchanges in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the Far East. The World Healthcare and Consumer Blended Benchmark represents the performance of a hypothetical index developed by the Adviser. This blended benchmark is comprised of three underlying indices in the following proportions: 70% MSCI World Healthcare Index, 15% MSCI World Consumer Discretionary Index and 15% MSCI World Consumer Staples Index. Unless otherwise noted, index returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, but do not reflect fees, brokerage commissions or other expenses of investing. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

 

^The Lipper Category returns and rankings are calculated by Lipper Inc., a Reuters Company, which is a nationally recognized organization that compares the performance of mutual funds with similar investment objectives. The Category returns represent the average performance of included funds, while rankings compare an individual fund's returns to those of the other funds in its category. Both are based on total return performance, with capital gains and dividends reinvested, with annual operating expenses deducted, but without including front- or back-end sales charges. Rankings begin with the actual share class inception. Rankings are relative to a peer group and do not necessarily mean that the fund had high total returns.

 

Growth of $10,000 is calculated at NAV and assume that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. They do not take into account sales charges or the effect of taxes. Results are not indicative of future performance.
