FUND SUMMARY 
The investment seeks long-term capital appreciation. The fund's assets normally will be allocated among not fewer than six different countries and will not concentrate investments in any particular industry. However, the fund may have more than 25% of assets invested in any major industrial or developed country. The fund ordinarily invests at least 80% of assets in a diversified portfolio of common stocks, which the advisor believes have above-average growth, profitability and quality characteristics, issued by companies domiciled outside the U.S.
