This
Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your
investment has a 5% return each year and that the Funds operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the table through 2/28/15 and total annual fund operating
expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or turns over its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and
may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Funds performance. During the Funds most recent fiscal year,
the Funds portfolio turnover rate was 51% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Funds main investment strategies?
Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Funds Assets will be invested in common stocks (including American Depositary
Receipts), preferred stocks, convertible securities provided they are traded on an exchange or
over-the-counter),
warrants, receipts and other equity securities that
comprise the index or indices identified by the Fund. Assets means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund invests mainly in foreign stocks included in the MSCI EAFE GDP Index
1
(the Index). The Fund modestly overweights securities in the Index that it
considers undervalued while modestly underweighting or not holding securities in the Index that it considers overvalued. Under normal circumstances, the Fund seeks to achieve similar sector, geographic and risk characteristics to the Index, although
the Fund anticipates that it will only own a portion, which may represent a minority, of the securities included in the Index. The Fund seeks returns that modestly exceed those of the Index over the long term with a modest level of risk relative to
the Index. The Funds adviser attempts to track the performance of the Index to achieve a correlation of 0.90 between the performance of the Fund and that of the Index, without taking into account the Funds expenses. Perfect correlation
would be 1.00. Most of the Funds assets will be denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund also may invest in stock index futures.
Up to
10% of the Funds assets may be invested in securities of emerging international markets included in the Morgan Stanley Emerging Market Free Index, such as Mexico, Chile, Brazil, India and South Africa. These investments may be made directly or
through local exchanges, through publicly traded
closed-end
investment companies or through passive foreign investment companies. The Funds adviser selects securities of emerging markets
based on size, risk and the ease of investing in the countrys market (e.g., reasonable settlement procedures).
Up to 20% of the Funds
assets may be invested in debt securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governments or any of their political subdivisions, agencies, or instrumentalities, or by supranational issuers rated in one of the three highest rating categories. The Fund
may utilize exchange-traded futures for the efficient management of cash flows.
Investment Process: In managing the Fund, the adviser combines
fundamental research with a disciplined portfolio construction process. The adviser utilizes proprietary research, optimization modeling techniques and individual security selection in constructing the Funds portfolio.
In-depth,
fundamental research into individual securities is conducted by research analysts who emphasize each issuers long-term prospects. This research allows the adviser to rank issuers within each sector
group according to what it believes to be their relative value. The adviser will modestly overweight securities which it deems to
be attractive and modestly underweight or not hold those securities which it believes are unattractive.
The adviser may sell a security as its valuations or rankings change or if more attractive investments become available.

The Funds Main Investment Risks
The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the advisers expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met.
An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability
of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial
goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.
Strategy
Risk.
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that correspond to the aggregate price and dividend performance of the securities in the MSCI EAFE GDP Index. Therefore, securities may be purchased, retained and sold by the Fund at times when
another fund would not do so. If the value of securities that are heavily weighted in the index change, you can expect a greater risk of loss than would be the case if the Fund were not fully invested in such securities. There is also the risk that
the Funds performance may not correlate with the performance of the index.
Foreign Securities and Emerging Market Risk.
Investments
in foreign issuers and foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to additional risks, including political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, currency
fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. In certain markets where securities and other instruments are
not traded delivery versus payment, the Fund may not receive timely payment for securities or other instruments it has delivered and may be subject to increased risk that the counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default
completely
.
Events and evolving conditions in certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively stable becoming riskier and more
volatile. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.
2
Equity Market Risk.
The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad
market or changes in a companys financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Funds portfolio or the
securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Funds securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.
General Market Risk
. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region
will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.
Derivatives Risk.
Derivatives, including futures, may be riskier
than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Funds original investment. Many derivatives
create leverage thereby causing the Fund to be more volatile than it would be if it had not used derivatives. Derivatives also expose the Fund to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual
obligations), including credit risk of the derivative counterparty. Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a
claim on the reference assets and is subject to enhanced counterparty risk.
Redemption Risk.
The Fund could experience a loss when selling
securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent or occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices.
Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are
not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.
You could lose money investing in the Fund.
The Funds Past Performance
This section
provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Funds Class R2 Shares has varied from year to year for the past ten calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns
over the past one year, five years and ten years. The table compares that performance to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI), Europe, Australasia and Far East (EAFE) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Index (net of foreign
withholding taxes), the Lipper International Multi-Cap Core Funds Index and the Lipper International
Large-Cap
Core Funds Index, indexes based on the total
returns of certain mutual funds within the Funds designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the other index, the Lipper indexes includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the indexes. The performance of Class R2 Shares
prior to their inception is based on the performance of Select Shares. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.
