1. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates ratings based on a proprietary risk-adjusted return score that accounts for variation
in a funds monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and
rewarding consistency. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% 4 stars, the next 35% 3 stars, the next 22.5% 2 stars and the
bottom 10% 1 star with some adjustments for multiple share class portfolios. The Overall Morningstar Rating is derived from a weighted average
of the 3-, 5- and 10-year ratings (where applicable). For the 3- and 5- year periods, respectively, the Fund was rated 5 and 5 stars among 127 and
103 funds in the Foreign Small/Mid Growth category for the time period ended 3/31/15. Rating is for Y shares and rating may include more than one
share class of funds in the category, including other share classes of this Fund. Different share classes may have different expenses and performance
characteristics. Y shares are not available to all investors. See the prospectus for details. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Up market capture is a measure of a managers performance in up markets relative to an index. Down market capture is the direct opposite of the up market
capture ratio, gauging the performance of the fund relative to the index in down markets.
Special Risks Foreign investments may be volatile and involve additional expenses and special risks, including currency fluctuations, foreign taxes,
regulatory and geopolitical risks. Emerging and developing market investments may be especially volatile. Eurozone investments may be subject to volatility
and liquidity issues. Investments in securities of growth companies may be volatile. Small and mid-sized company stock is typically more volatile than that of
larger company stock. It may take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small or mid-sized company, if any gain is realized at all.
Investing significantly in a particular region, industry, sector or issuer may increase volatility and risk.
