Performance
Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
SI = Since Inception.
Fund Inception: 08/06/1993
Class A-shares performance from 5/15/06 through 10/21/16 reflects the performance, fees, and expenses of the Advisor Class of the predecessor fund Schroder U.S. Opportunities Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") and, prior to 5/15/06, the performance of the Predecessor Fund's Investor Class, adjusted to reflect the distribution fees of the Predecessor Fund's Advisor Class. If Class A fees and expenses were reflected, performance would have differed. SI performance is calculated from 8/6/93.
