Performance quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than average annual returns shown.

MOP returns take into account the Class A maximum initial sales charge of 5.50%. A redemption fee of 2% may apply to shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 days of acquisition. Performance shown does not reflect any applicable redemption fees and would be lower if it did. Redemption fees are paid to and retained by the Fund and are not sales charges.

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 Institutional share class. The returns presented are for Class A shares, which were first offered in 3/06. 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 Institutional 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 will normally invest its assets in the natural resources sector, with a portion its assets invested in non-U.S. securities. The fund may invest in emerging market securities and in the securities of smaller companies. Concentrating assets in the natural resources sector adds risk compared to a more diversified portfolio. Investing in non-U.S. securities may entail risk due to foreign economic and political developments; this risk may be enhanced when investing in emerging markets. Investments in smaller companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies. This Fund may use derivative instruments for leverage, 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.

 

The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index is an unmanaged market-weighted index that consists of over 1,200 securities traded in 22 of the worlds most developed countries. Securities are listed on exchanges in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the Far East. The MSCI World Energy Index is the Energy sector of the MSCI World Index. The MSCI World Materials Index is the Materials sector of the MSCI World Index. Prior to November 1, 2006, performance data for the MSCI Indexes was calculated gross of dividend tax withholding. Performance data presently shown for the Index is net of dividend tax withholding. This recalculation results in lower performance for the Index. The World Energy & Materials Composite represents the performance of a hypothetical index developed by the Adviser. This composite is derived from the World Energy and World Materials components of the unmanaged MSCI World Index. The two components are weighted in the composite based on the market capitalization of those sectors from the prior month. As a result, the weightings of the two components in the composite may vary from month to month.

 

^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.
