The management fee rate is 0.75% on assets up to $12 billion and 0.65% on assets in excess of $12 billion. The Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce the management fee to 0.63% on assets between $24 billion and $36 billion and to 0.58% on assets over $36 billion through February 28, 2014. Only the Board of Trustees may modify or terminate this agreement.

Expense Example

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 Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, under these assumptions, your costs would be:

 

       One
Year
     Three
Years
     Five
Years
     Ten
Years
 
Institutional    $ 79       $ 248       $ 432       $ 965   
Administrative    $ 104       $ 327       $ 568       $ 1,259   
Investor    $ 116       $ 364       $ 632       $ 1,397   

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 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 Fund’s performance. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate in the most recent fiscal year was 11%.

Principal Investment Strategy

Principal Style Characteristics: International large cap value oriented stocks

The Fund invests primarily (no less than 65% of its total assets) in common and preferred stocks of foreign companies, including those located in emerging market countries. Companies in the Fund’s portfolio generally have market capitalizations in excess of $1 billion at the time of purchase.

The Subadviser uses an analysis of economic and market data, as well as its knowledge of each country’s culture, to determine country and industry allocations. Before selecting a country for investment, the Subadviser analyzes the stability of a country’s currency and its political, social and economic culture. Subject to these allocations, the Subadviser uses a value oriented, bottom-up approach, researching and evaluating individual companies, to select stocks for the Fund’s portfolio.

In selecting stocks for the Fund’s portfolio, the Subadviser also looks for companies with the following characteristics:

 

  Ÿ  

Businesses that the Subadviser believes offer value

 

  Ÿ  

Low price/earnings multiples relative to other stocks in each country/industry

 

  Ÿ  

Above average, long-term earnings expectation not reflected in the price

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest in a minimum of ten countries throughout the world, focusing on companies located in Europe, the Pacific Basin and emerging industrialized countries whose economies and political regimes appear stable.

Principal Risks

There is no guarantee that the investment objective of the Fund will be achieved. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Stocks fluctuate in price and the value of your investment in the Fund may go down. This means that you could lose money on your investment in the Fund or the Fund may not perform as well as other possible investments. Principal risks include:

Market and Issuer risk: Securities markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse market, economic, political or regulatory developments, which may lower the value of securities held by the Fund, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Additionally, an adverse event, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of a particular company’s stock.

Value style risk: Over time, a value oriented investing style may go in and out of favor, which may cause the Fund to underperform other equity funds that use different investing styles.

Selection risk: The Subadvisers’ judgment about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of a particular security may be incorrect.

Foreign securities risk: Because the Fund invests primarily in securities of foreign issuers, an investment in the Fund is subject to special risks in addition to those of U.S. securities. These risks include heightened political and economic risks, greater volatility, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets. Foreign securities are sometimes less liquid and harder to value than securities of U.S. issuers. The securities markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. If foreign securities are denominated and traded in a foreign currency, the value of the Fund’s foreign holdings can be affected by currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations. The Fund’s investments in foreign securities may also be subject to foreign withholding taxes.

The recent global economic crisis brought several European governments close to bankruptcy and many other economies into recession and weakened the banking and financial sectors of many countries. Global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market.

Emerging market risk: Foreign securities risks are more significant in emerging market countries, such as those in Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Pacific Basin. These countries may have relatively unstable governments and less-established market economies than developed countries. Emerging markets may face greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. These risks make emerging market securities more volatile and less liquid than securities issued in more developed countries.

Performance

The following bar chart and table show two aspects of the Fund: volatility and performance. The bar chart shows the volatility — or variability — of the Fund’s annual total returns over time, and shows that Fund performance can change from year to year. The table shows the Fund’s average annual total returns for certain time periods compared to the returns of a broad-based securities index. The bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks and potential rewards of investing in the Fund. The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The after-tax returns shown are not relevant to tax exempt shareholders or shareholders who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are shown for Institutional Class shares only. After-tax returns for the Administrative and Investor Class shares will vary.
