| Effective 4/1/09, the fund will change its index to the MSCI EAFE Value Net (USD) Index from the MSCI EAFE Net (USD) Index. The MSCI EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia, Far East), MSCI EAFE Value Index and MSCI EAFE Growth Index are a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that measures the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the United States and Canada. As of June 2007, the index consisted of the following 21 developed market country indices: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. MSCI constructs the Value and Growth indices using a unique holdings-based style approach that provides a precise definition of style using eight historical and forward-looking fundamental data points. Each security is placed into either the Value or Growth Index, or may be partially allocated to both (with no double counting). The objective of the index design is to divide constituents of an underlying MSCI Equity Index into respective value and growth indices, each targeting 50% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization of the underlying market index. |

Had the expense differential been reflected, total returns for class R shares would have been lower. Obtain Expense Ratios for all share classes including A and R shares. |
