Investment Objectives

The Fund seeks growth of capital through investment in equity securities of companies active in the water-related resource sector, using the Fund’s corporate responsibility standards and strategies.Investment in mutual funds involves risk, including the possible loss of principal invested. The Fund is subject to the risk that stocks that comprise the water-related sector may decline in value. The stock markets in which the Fund invests may also experience periods of volatility and instability. In addition, shares of the companies involved in the water sector have been more volatile than shares of companies operating in other, more established industries. Consequently, the Fund may tend to be more volatile than other mutual funds. Lastly, foreign investments involve greater risks than U.S. investments, including political and economic risks and the risk of currency fluctuations.

Investment Strategy

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies whose main business is in the water sector or are significantly involved in water related services or technologies. Investments in the water-related resource sectors and companies will include: water treatment, engineering, filtration, environmental controls, water related equipment, water and wastewater services, and water utilities.

Important Disclosure

Companies labeled GICS are those classified using the Global Industry Classification Standards. These companies are involved in the water industry (though not to the degree required per prospectus definition) and the sub-advisor believes will generate above average returns going forward.
