An expense limitation with respect to the Funds Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses is imposed pursuant to a written agreement to limit the Total Annual Fund Operating
Expenses for Class Y Shares so that Class Y benefits from a level of reimbursement (as expressed in basis points) that is the same as the level of reimbursement for Class A shares during the period. This expense limitation will continue through
April 30, 2013, and cannot be terminated by RS Investments prior to that date.

Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you
invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated, whether or not you redeem at the end of such periods. This Example also assumes that your investment earns a 5% return each year and that the Funds operating expenses remain the same
as shown above. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

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 for you if your 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. The inception date for the Fund was May 16, 2011. During the period from May 16, 2011 to December 31, 2011, the Funds portfolio turnover rate (not annualized) was 9% of the average value of its portfolio.
Investments, Risks, and Performance
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund normally
invests at least 80% of the value of its net assets in common stocks, preferred stocks, and other securities convertible into common or preferred stock of Greater China companies. The Fund currently defines a Greater China company as
(i) a company that has securities that are traded primarily on any stock exchange in China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan; (ii) a company that the Funds investment team considers to derive 50% or more of its revenues or profits from goods
produced, services performed, or sales made in China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan; (iii) a company that is organized under the laws of, or has its principal office in, China,
RS GREATER CHINA FUND
Hong Kong, or Taiwan; or (iv) a company that the Funds investment team determines has a majority of its physical assets located in China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan. Because the Fund focuses its
investments in Greater China companies, the values of its shares will be more greatly affected by economic, financial, political, and other factors affecting China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan than mutual funds that invest more broadly. The Fund may
invest in companies of any size.
The Funds investment team employs both fundamental analysis and quantitative screening in seeking to identify
companies that the investment team believes can sustain above-average earnings growth. Valuation is an integral part of the process. Fundamental, bottom-up research focuses on companies that rank highly within the investment teams quantitative
screen, with particular emphasis placed on a companys earnings growth, business strategy, value creation, competitive position, management quality, market position, and political and economic backdrop. The investment team monitors market and
sovereign risk as part of the overall investment process.
The Fund will not typically seek to hedge its foreign currency exposure (arising from
investments denominated in foreign currencies) relative to the U.S. dollar, although the Fund may engage in foreign currency exchange contracts to take advantage of changes in currency exchange rates anticipated by the Funds investment team.
The Fund also may invest in foreign issuers through American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), European Depositary Receipts (EDRs), Global Depositary Receipts
(GDRs), or similar investment vehicles.
Principal Risks
You may lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective. The principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect its net asset value and total return, are
as follows.
Equity Securities Risk
The value of a companys stock may decline in response to factors affecting that particular company or stock markets generally.
Foreign Securities Risk
Foreign securities are subject to political, regulatory, and
economic risks not present in domestic investments. In addition, when the Fund buys securities denominated in a foreign currency, there are special risks such as changes in currency exchange rates and the risk that a foreign government could
regulate foreign exchange transactions. In addition, to the extent that investments are made in a limited number of countries, events in those countries will have a more significant impact on the Fund.
Greater China Risk
Investments in the Greater China region are subject to special risks, such as less developed or less efficient trading markets, currency
fluctuations or blockage, nationalization of assets, limits on repatriation, and the effects of governmental control of markets. The Chinese economy and financial markets have experienced high levels of growth in recent years; any actual or
perceived reduction or curtailment in those levels of growth in the future would likely have a substantial adverse impact on the values of Greater China companies. Investments in securities of Chinese companies are subject to Chinas heavy
dependence on exports. A small number of companies and industries represent a relatively large portion of the Greater China market as a whole. Monsoons and other natural disasters may cause substantial adverse economic effects.
Currency Risk
Investments in foreign securities are often denominated and traded in foreign currencies. The value of the Funds assets may be affected
favorably or unfavorably by currency exchange rates, currency exchange control regulations, and restrictions or prohibitions on the repatriation of foreign currencies.
Emerging Market Risk
Risks of investing in emerging markets include greater political
and economic instability, greater volatility in currency exchange rates, less developed securities markets, possible trade barriers, currency transfer restrictions, a more limited number of potential buyers, an emerging market countrys
dependence on revenue from particular commodities or international aid, less governmental supervision and regulation, unavailability of currency hedging techniques, differences in auditing and financial reporting standards, and less developed legal
systems.
Focused Investment Risk
Focusing investments in a particular market or economic sector (which may include issuers in a number of different industries) increases the risk of loss because the stocks of many or all of the companies in the
market or sector may decline in value due to developments adversely affecting the market or sector. In addition, investors may buy or sell substantial amounts of the Funds shares in response to factors affecting or expected to affect the
particular market or sector, resulting in extreme inflows and outflows of cash into and out of the Fund. Such inflows or outflows might affect management of the Fund adversely to the extent they were to cause the Funds cash position or cash
requirements to exceed normal levels.
Small Companies Risk
Small companies may be subject to a number of risks not associated with larger, more established companies, potentially making their stock prices
more volatile and increasing the risk of loss.
Investment Style Risk
A mutual fund investing principally in growth style stocks may at times underperform other mutual funds that invest more broadly or that have
different investment styles.
RS GREATER CHINA FUND
Liquidity Risk
Lack of a ready market or restrictions on resale may limit the ability
of the Fund to sell a security at an advantageous time or price. In addition, the Fund, by itself or together with other accounts managed by RS Investments, may hold a position in a security that is large relative to the typical trading volume for
that security, which can make it difficult for the Fund to dispose of the position at an advantageous time or price.
Cash Position Risk
To the extent that the Fund holds assets in cash and cash equivalents and not in the investments previously described, the ability of the Fund to
meet its objective may be limited.
Portfolio Turnover Risk
Frequent purchases and sales of portfolio securities may result in higher Fund expenses and may result in more significant distributions of
short-term capital gains to investors, which are taxed as ordinary income.
Overweighting Risk
Overweighting investments in an industry or group of industries relative to the Funds benchmark increases the risk that the Fund will
underperform its benchmark because a general decline in the prices of stocks in that industry or group of industries will affect the Fund to a greater extent than its benchmark.
Underweighting Risk
If the Fund underweights its investment in an industry or group of industries relative to the Funds benchmark, the Fund will participate in
any general increase in the value of companies in that industry or group of industries to a lesser extent than the Funds benchmark.
Fund Performance
The bar chart and performance table are not included because the Fund had
not completed one full calendar year of investment operations as of the date of this prospectus. The Funds investment strategy and investment team changed on March 1, 2013.

Tax Information
Fund distributions are generally taxable to you as ordinary income or
capital gains, unless you are a tax-exempt investor or otherwise investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase the Fund
through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing
the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediarys Web site for more information.
