Mutual fund investing involves risk, including loss of principal.  There is no guarantee that this, or any, investment strategy will succeed; the strategy is not an indicator of future performance, and investment results may vary.  Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against loss.  Small cap investing involves risks not associated with investing in more established companies, such as greater price volatility, business risk, less liquidity and increased competitive threat. Fund returns include the reinvestment of all dividend and interest income. In comparing a Fund’s performance to any market index, prospective investors should note the following differences: indices are generally more diversified and represent only unmanaged results of long investment; a strategy may not be as diversified, more volatile, is actively managed and may short securities.  Securities sold short have unlimited potential for loss.
