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
Share Class Inception: 10/24/16.
Performance prior to 10/24/16 for Class R5-shares reflects the performance, fees, and expenses of the Investor Class of the predecessor fund Schroder U.S. Opportunities Fund. If Class R5 fees and expenses were reflected, performance would have differed. SI performance is calculated from 8/6/93.
