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: 9/28/15.
Class SDR-shares performance from 9/28/15 through 10/21/16 reflects the performance, fees, and expenses of R6 Class of the predecessor fund Schroder U.S. Opportunities Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") and, prior to 9/28/15, the performance, fees, and expenses of the Predecessor Fund's Investor Class. If Class SDR fees and expenses were reflected, performance would have differed. SI performance is calculated from 8/6/93.
