Dear Fellow Shareholders:
I am pleased to present the semi-annual report and investment-performance review of the Eagle Family of Funds for the six-month period that ended April 30, 2015.
The bull market appeared to continue to run through the end of 2014. The economic environment was favorable for equities in 2014: strong corporate earnings appeared to support meaningful improvements in private employment and capital spending in the United States; and, although suddenly depressed oil prices hurt energy companies, falling retail gasoline prices seemed to provide a boost to consumer confidence and consumer spending. We believe that continued global monetary stimulus and a low inflationary environment also helped fuel further multiple expansion in 2014.
We believe that 2015 began with a market hiccup due to concerns about global growth, but investors just as quickly turned back to moving equity markets higher. The U.S. Federal Reserve has removed the word “patient” from its commentary on a possible interest-rate increase—which it said could come as early as June—but has maintained that economic data will determine the appropriate time to do so. Many Eagle portfolio managers believe that any interest-rate increase in 2015 likely would not be implemented until late in the year.
Here are just a few highlights from the last six months1:
• | The Eagle Mid Cap Growth Fund has an overall and 10-year four-star rating from Morningstar.2* |
• | The Eagle Growth & Income Fund has maintained its 10-year five-star rating from Morningstar.3* |
• | The Eagle Small Cap Stock Fund reorganized into the Eagle Smaller Company Fund in February, which has streamlined the fund offerings. |
• | The Eagle International Stock Fund has celebrated its second anniversary and continues to perform as we would expect in current market situations. |
• | High-profile media outlets continue to seek Eagle managers. The Wall Street Journal has quoted James Camp, CFA®, who heads the Eagle Investment Grade Bond Fund, and Eric Mintz, CFA®, a co-portfolio manager of the Small Cap Growth and Mid Cap Growth funds. Jeff Vancavage, CFA®, a co-portfolio manager of the Growth & Income Fund, was quoted recently in Bloomberg Business. |
I would like to remind you that investing in any mutual fund carries certain risks. The principal risk factors for each fund are described at the end of this semi-annual report. Carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of any fund before you invest. Contact us at 800.421.4184 or eagleasset.com or your financial advisor for a prospectus, or summary prospectus, which contain this and other important information about the Eagle Family of Funds. Read the prospectus, or summary prospectus, carefully before you invest or send money.
We are grateful for your continued support of, and confidence in, the Eagle Family of Funds.
Sincerely,
Richard J. Rossi
President

Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information.

Ten percent of the funds in an investment category receive five stars, 22.5% receive four stars, 35% receive three stars, 22.5% receive two stars and the bottom 10% receive one star.

Ratings may vary among share classes and are based on past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

* The table depicts the long-term credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund’s portfolio holdings by Standard & Poor’s® (“S&P”), Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), and Fitch Ratings Inc. (“Fitch”), each of which is a widely used independent nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”). NRSRO ratings are shown because they provide an independent analysis of the credit quality of the Fund’s investments. These credit-quality ratings are shown without regard to gradations within a given rating category. For example, securities rated “A-” have been included in the “A” rated category. Securities may be rated by other NRSROs and these ratings may be higher or lower. When ratings from multiple agencies are available, the highest is used, consistent with the Fund’s portfolio investment process. Credit quality ratings are subject to change without notice. For more information on S&P’s rating methodology, please visit standardandpoors.com and select “Understanding Ratings” under Rating Resources on the homepage. For more information on Moody’s rating methodology, please visit moodys.com and select “Rating Methodologies” under Research & Ratings on the homepage. For more information on Fitch’s rating methodology, please visit fitchratings.com and select “Ratings Definitions” at the bottom of the homepage. Eagle Asset Management, Inc. (“Manager”) also performs its own fundamental credit analysis of each security. As part of its fundamental credit analysis, the Manager considers various criteria, including industry specific actions, peer comparisons, payment ranking, and structure-specific characteristics. Any securities that are not rated by S&P, Moody’s, or Fitch appear in the table as “Not rated.” However, these securities are analyzed and monitored by the Manager on an ongoing basis. Government securities that are issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government are not rated, but are treated by the Fund, and reflected in the table above, as being rated AAA and Aaa for credit quality purposes.

NOTE 1 | Organization and investment objective | The Eagle Capital Appreciation Fund, the Eagle Growth & Income Fund and the Eagle Series Trust (each a “Trust” and collectively the “Trusts” or the “Eagle Family of Funds”) are organized as separate Massachusetts business trusts, and are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-end diversified management investment companies. Members of the Board of Trustees (“Board”) for the Trusts may serve as Trustees for one or more of the Trusts. The Trusts offer shares in the following series (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) and are advised by Eagle Asset Management, Inc. (“Eagle” or “Manager”).
• | The Eagle Capital Appreciation Fund (“Capital Appreciation Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. |
• | The Eagle Growth & Income Fund (“Growth & Income Fund”) primarily seeks long-term capital appreciation and, secondarily, seeks current income. |
The Eagle Series Trust currently offers shares in six series:
• | The Eagle International Stock Fund (“International Stock Fund”) seeks capital appreciation, |
• | The Eagle Investment Grade Bond Fund (“Investment Grade Bond Fund”) seeks current income and preservation of capital, |
• | The Eagle Mid Cap Growth Fund (“Mid Cap Growth Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation, |
• | The Eagle Mid Cap Stock Fund (“Mid Cap Stock Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation, |
• | The Eagle Small Cap Growth Fund (“Small Cap Growth Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation, and |
• | The Eagle Smaller Company Fund (“Smaller Company Fund”) seeks capital growth. |
The Eagle Series Trust also includes the Eagle Tax-Exempt Bond Fund which is not currently offered for sale.
Class offerings | Each Fund is authorized and currently offers Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R-3 and Class R-5 shares to qualified buyers. The Growth & Income Fund, the International Stock Fund, the Mid Cap Growth Fund, the Mid Cap Stock Fund, the Small Cap Growth Fund and the Smaller Company Fund are authorized and currently offer Class R-6 shares to qualified buyers. As of the date of this report, Class R-6 shares are authorized but not currently offered by the Capital Appreciation Fund or the Investment Grade Bond Fund.
• | For all Funds except the Investment Grade Bond Fund, Class A shares are sold at a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75%. For the Investment Grade Bond Fund, Class A shares are sold at a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.75%. Class A share investments greater than $1 million, which are not sold subject to a sales charge, may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of up to 1% of the lower of net asset value (“NAV”) or purchase price if redeemed within 18 months of purchase. |
• | Class C shares are sold subject to a CDSC of 1% of the lower of NAV or purchase price if redeemed within one year of purchase. |
• | Class I, Class R-3, Class R-5 and Class R-6 shares are each sold without a front-end sales charge or a CDSC to qualified buyers. |
NOTE 2 | Significant accounting policies | The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 – Investment Companies, which is part of U.S.GAAP.
Use of estimates | The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.
Valuation of securities | The price of each Fund’s shares is based on the NAV per share of each class of a Fund. The Funds determine the NAV of their shares on each day the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for business, as of the close of the regular trading session (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) (“NYSE Close”), or earlier NYSE closing time that day. If the NYSE or other securities exchange modifies the published closing price of securities traded on that exchange after the NAV is calculated, the Manager is not required to recalculate the NAV.
Generally, the Funds value securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value; however, a Fund may adjust the market quotation price of securities traded in foreign markets to reflect events that occur between the close of those markets and the time of the Fund’s determination of the NAV.
A market quotation may be considered unreliable or unavailable for various reasons, such as:
• | The quotation may be stale; |
• | The security is not actively traded; |
• | Trading on the security halted before the close of the trading market; |
• | The security is newly issued; |
• | Issuer-specific events occurred after the security halted trading; or |
• | Because of the passage of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE. |
Issuer-specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. Such events may include:
• | A merger or insolvency; |
• | Events which affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters; or |
• | Market events, such as a significant movement in the U.S. markets. |
For most securities, both the latest transaction prices and adjustments for securities traded in foreign markets are furnished by Board approved independent pricing services. The Funds value all other securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable at their fair value in good faith using Pricing and Valuation Procedures (“Procedures”) approved by the Board. A Fund may fair value small-cap securities, for example, that are thinly traded or illiquid. Fair value requires consideration of appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available from independent pricing services. A fair value price is an estimated price and may vary from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their NAV.
Pursuant to the Procedures, the Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for applying and administering the Procedures to Eagle. A valuation committee (“Valuation Committee”) comprised of certain officers of the Trusts and other employees of the Manager, the composition of which may change from time to time, follows fair valuation guidelines as set forth in the Procedures to make fair value determinations on all securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable. For securities fair valued by the Valuation Committee, Eagle checks fair value prices by comparing the fair value of the security with values that are available from other sources (if any). Eagle compares the fair value of the security to the next-day opening price or next actual sale price, when applicable. Eagle documents and reports to the Valuation Committee such comparisons when they are made. The
28 |

Valuation Committee reports such comparisons to the Board at their regularly scheduled meetings. The Board retains the responsibility for periodic review and consideration of the appropriateness of any fair value pricing methodology established or implemented for a Fund. Fair value pricing methods, the Procedures and independent pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the Board, and may occur as a result of lookback testing results or changes in industry best practices.
There can be no assurance, however, that a fair value price used by a Fund on any given day will more accurately reflect the market value of a security than the market price of such security on that day, as fair valuation determinations may involve subjective judgments made by the Valuation Committee. Fair value pricing may deter shareholders from trading a Fund’s shares on a frequent basis in an attempt to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially stale prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading. Specific types of securities are valued as follows:
• | Domestic exchange-traded equity securities | Market quotations are generally available and reliable for domestic exchange-traded equity securities. If the prices provided by the independent pricing service and independent quoted prices are unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures. |
• | Foreign exchange-traded equity securities | If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the NYSE Close, closing market quotations may become unreliable. Consequently, fair valuation of securities may occur on a daily basis. The Valuation Committee, using the Procedures, may fair value a security if certain events occur between the time trading ends in a foreign market on a particular security and the Fund’s NAV calculation. The Valuation Committee, using the Procedures, may also fair value a particular security if the events are significant and make the closing price unavailable or unreliable. If an issuer-specific event has occurred that a Fund or Eagle determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, the security will be priced at fair value. Eagle also utilizes a screening process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the NYSE Close. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on exchange rates provided by an independent pricing service. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time to time. Securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Funds. Because the NAV of a Fund’s shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value of the securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when shareholders would not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund. |
• | Fixed income securities | Government bonds, corporate bonds, asset-backed bonds, municipal bonds, convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, and debt securities with a maturity of sixty (60) days or less as of the valuation date, normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the independent pricing services may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. If the prices provided by the independent pricing service and independent quoted prices are unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures. |
• | Futures and options | Futures and options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available and reliable. If prices provided by |
independent pricing services and independent quoted prices are unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures. During the period ended April 30, 2015, none of the Funds held futures or options. |
• | Investment companies and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) | Investments in other investment companies are valued at their reported NAV. Investments in ETFs are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available and reliable. If prices provided by independent pricing services and independent quoted prices are unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures. |
Fair value measurements | Each Fund utilizes a three-level hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements. The three levels are defined as:
Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets;
Level 2—Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered active; and
Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement, and may include the Valuation Committee’s own assumptions on determining fair value of investments.
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment and the volume and/or level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Valuation Committee, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. A Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the valuation date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category may be classified as such due to a lack of market transparency and corroboration to support the quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Valuation Committee. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable entity data.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value each Fund’s investments as of April 30, 2015.

The Fund recognizes transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. During the period ended April 30, 2015, none of the Funds had any investments classified as Level 3 and there were no transfers in or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3.
Foreign currency transactions | The books and records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of investment securities, other assets and other liabilities at the daily rates of exchange, and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains and losses from investment transactions. Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies include gains and losses between trade and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses arising from the purchase and sale of forward foreign currency exchange contracts and gains and losses between the ex and payment dates on dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes.
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts | Each of the Funds, except the Small Cap Growth Fund, is authorized to enter into forward foreign currency contracts which are used primarily to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risk on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued in U.S. dollars based upon forward exchange rates provided by an independent pricing service as of the close of the NYSE each valuation day and the unrealized gain or loss is included in the related Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When the contracts are closed, the gain or loss is realized. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the related Statement of Operations. Risks may arise from unanticipated movements in the currency’s value relative to the U.S. dollar and from the possible inability of counter-parties to meet the terms of their contracts. During the period ended April 30, 2015, none of the Funds held forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
Real estate investment trusts (“REIT(s)”) | There are certain additional risks involved in investing in REITs. These include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, changes in zoning laws, real estate values, property taxes and interest rates. Dividend income is recorded at the Manager’s estimate of the income included in distributions from the REITs. Distributions received in excess of the estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the investments. The actual amounts of income, return of capital and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after the Funds’ fiscal year-end and may differ from the estimated amounts.
Repurchase agreements | Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements whereby a Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the market value of which at the time of purchase is required to be in an amount of at least 100% of the resale price. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, the Fund will bear the risk of market value fluctuations until the security can be sold and may encounter delays and incur costs in liquidating the security. In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the seller, delays and costs may be incurred. During the period ended April 30, 2015, none of the Funds held any repurchase agreements.
Revenue recognition | Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.
Foreign taxes | The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest, with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. The Funds may also be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may or may not be recoverable. The Funds accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, when the related income or capital gains are earned and based upon the current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which a Fund invests. Some countries require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales earned by foreign investors.
Expenses | Each Fund is charged for certain expenses which are directly attributable to it, and certain other expenses which are allocated proportionately among the Eagle Family of Funds based upon methods approved by the Board. Expenses that are directly attributable to a specific class of shares, such as distribution fees, shareholder servicing fees and administrative fees, are charged directly to that class of shares. Other expenses of each Fund are allocated to each class of shares based upon its relative percentage of net assets. The Funds have entered into an arrangement with the custodian whereby each Fund receives credits on uninvested cash balances which are used to offset a portion of each Fund’s expenses. These custodian credits are shown as “Expense offsets” in the related Statement of Operations.
Class allocations | Each class of shares has equal rights to earnings and assets except that each class may bear different expenses for administration, distribution and/or shareholder services. Income, expenses (other than
30 |

(UNAUDITED) | 04.30.2015 |
expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative percentage of net assets.
Distributions | Each Fund, except the Investment Grade Bond Fund and the Growth & Income Fund, distributes net investment income annually. Distributions of net investment income in the Investment Grade Bond Fund and the Growth & Income Fund are made monthly and quarterly, respectively. Net realized gains from investment transactions during any particular fiscal year in excess of available capital loss carryforwards, which, if not distributed, would be taxable to each applicable Fund, will be distributed to shareholders annually in the following fiscal year. Each Fund uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial and federal income tax reporting purposes.
All dividends paid by the Funds from net investment income are deemed to be ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Dividends paid to shareholders from net investment income were as follows:

Trustees and officers compensation | Each Trustee of the Eagle Family of Funds who is not an employee of the Manager receives an annual retainer along with meeting fees for those Eagle Family of Funds’ regular or special meetings attended in person and 25% of such fees are received for telephonic meetings. All reasonable out-of-pocket expenses are also reimbursed. Except when directly attributable to a Fund, Trustees’ fees and expenses are paid equally by each Fund in the Eagle Family of Funds. Certain officers of the Eagle Family of Funds may also be officers and/or directors of Eagle. Such officers receive no compensation from the Funds except for the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer. A portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is paid equally by each Fund in the Eagle Family of Funds.
NOTE 5 | Federal income taxes and distributions | Each Fund is treated as a single corporate taxpayer as provided for in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required since each of the Funds intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable income and gains. The Manager has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken or expected to be taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2011 to October 31, 2014) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.
Federal income tax regulations differ from U.S. GAAP; therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ significantly in amount or character from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences primarily relate to deferral of losses from wash sales and non-REIT return of capital.
NOTE 6 | Fund Reorganization | After the close of business on February 20, 2015, the Smaller Company Fund acquired all of the assets and liabilities of the Eagle Small Cap Stock Fund (“Small Cap Stock Fund”) pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization and Termination as approved by the Board of Trustees of Eagle Series Trust on November 14, 2014. The purpose was to combine funds managed by Eagle Asset Management, Inc. with substantially similar investment objectives and policies, although they employed different investment strategies to reach those objectives. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange resulting in the Smaller Company Fund issuing 1,038,708 Class A shares, 1,158,849 Class C shares, 422,219 Class I shares, 5,582 Class R-3 shares, 260 Class R-5 shares and 260 Class R-6 shares in exchange for 698,341 Class A shares, 714,580 Class C shares, 297,440 Class I shares, 3,670 Class R-3 shares, 181 Class R-5 shares and 181 Class R-6 shares of the Small Cap Stock Fund. The Small Cap Stock Fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) at the reorganization date of $33,228,684, including $4,230,305 of unrealized appreciation, were

combined with those of the Smaller Company Fund. Assuming the acquisition had been completed on November 1, 2014, the beginning of the annual reporting period of the Smaller Company Fund, pro forma results of operations for the period ended April 30, 2015 would include net investment loss of $182,549, and net realized and change in unrealized gain on investments of $3,354,995, resulting in an increase in net assets from operations of $3,172,446. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since reorganization date, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Small Cap Stock Fund that have been included in the Smaller Company Fund‘s statement of
operations since the reorganization date. Prior to the reorganization, the net assets of the Smaller Company Fund totaled $64,268,290. Immediately after the reorganization, the net assets of the Smaller Company Fund totaled $97,496,970.
NOTE 7 | Subsequent events | The Manager has evaluated subsequent events through June 18, 2015. Eagle anticipates that the Capital Appreciation Fund and the Investment Grade Bond Fund may begin offering Class R-6 shares in the near future. Eagle has determined that no additional material events or transactions would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Understanding Your Ongoing Costs
(UNAUDITED) | 04.30.2015 |
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges, or redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, distribution (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. The following sections are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect one-time transaction expenses, such as sales charges or redemption fees. Therefore, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. For more information, see your Fund’s prospectus or contact your financial advisor.
Actual expenses | The table below shows the actual expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in each Fund on November 1, 2014, and held through April 30, 2015. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the fiscal year, assuming actual returns after ongoing expenses. This table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not
help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes | The table shows each Fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment held from November 1, 2014 through April 30, 2015 and assuming for this period a hypothetical 5% annualized rate of return before ongoing expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Please note that you should not use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total costs) of investing in the Funds with those of other funds. All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison.

Additional Information About Principal Risk Factors
The greatest risk of investing in a mutual fund is that its returns will fluctuate and you could lose money. Turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and fixed income markets may negatively affect many issuers worldwide, which could have an adverse effect on the Funds. Additionally, while the portfolio managers seek to take advantage of investment opportunities that will maximize a fund’s investment returns, there is no guarantee that such opportunities will ultimately benefit the fund. There is no assurance that the portfolio managers’ investment strategy will enable a fund to achieve its investment objective. The following table identifies the risk factors of each fund in light of its respective principal investment strategies. These risk factors are explained following the table.

Call | Call risk is the possibility that, as interest rates decline to a level that is significantly lower than the rate assigned to the fixed income security, the security may be called (redeemed) prior to maturity. A fund would lose the benefit of holding a fixed income security that is paying a rate above the current market rate and would likely have to reinvest the proceeds in other fixed income securities that have lower yields.
Credit | A fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed income security is unable or unwilling, or is perceived as unable or unwilling (whether by market participants, ratings agencies, pricing services or otherwise) to meet its financial obligations or goes bankrupt. Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected in their credit ratings. The downgrade of the credit rating of a security held by a fund may decrease its value. Credit risk usually applies to most fixed income securities. U.S. government securities, especially those that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury, such as securities supported only by the credit of the issuing governmental agency or government-sponsored enterprise, carry at least some risk of nonpayment, and the maximum potential liability of the issuers of such
securities may greatly exceed their current resources. There is no assurance that the U.S. government would provide financial support to the issuing entity if not obligated to do so by law. Further, any government guarantees on U.S. government securities that a fund owns extend only to the timely payment of interest and the repayment of principal on the securities themselves and do not extend to the market value of the securities themselves or to shares of the fund.
Equity Securities | A fund’s equity securities investments are subject to stock market risk. Such investments may also expose a fund to additional risks:
• | Common Stocks. The value of a company’s common stock may fall as a result of factors directly relating to that company, such as decisions made by its management or decreased demand for the company’s products or services. A stock’s value may also decline because of factors affecting not just the company, but also companies in the same industry or sector. The price of a company’s stock may also be affected by changes in financial markets that are unrelated to the company, such as changes in interest |

rates, exchange rates or industry regulation. Companies that pay dividends on their common stock generally only do so after they invest in their own business and make required payments to bondholders and on other debt and preferred stock. Therefore, the value of a company’s common stock will usually be more volatile than its bonds, other debt and preferred stock. |
• | Preferred Stocks. Preferred securities are subject to issuer-specific and stock market risks; however, preferred securities may be less liquid than common stocks and offer more limited participation in the growth of an issuer. If interest rates rise, the dividend on preferred stocks may be less attractive, causing the price of preferred stocks to decline. Preferred shareholders may have only certain limited rights if distributions are not paid for a stated period, but generally have no legal recourse against the issuer and may suffer a loss of value if distributions are not paid. Preferred stocks may have mandatory sinking fund provisions, as well as provisions for their call or redemption prior to maturity which can have a negative effect on their prices when interest rates decline. Because the rights of preferred stock on distribution of a corporation’s assets in the event of its liquidation are generally subordinated to the rights associated with a corporation’s debt securities, in the event of an issuer’s bankruptcy, there is substantial risk that there will be nothing left to pay preferred stockholders after payments, if any, to bondholders have been made. For this reason, the value of preferred securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and other debt securities to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. |
• | Convertible Securities. The investment value of a convertible security (“convertible”) is based on its yield and tends to decline as interest rates increase. The conversion value of a convertible is the market value that would be received if the convertible were converted to its underlying common stock. Since it derives a portion of its value from the common stock into which it may be converted, a convertible is also subject to the same types of market and issuer-specific risks that apply to the underlying common stock. A convertible may be subject to redemption at the option of the issuer at a price established in the convertible’s governing instrument, which may be less than the current market price of the security. Convertibles typically are “junior” securities, which means an issuer may pay interest on its non-convertible debt before it can make payments on its convertibles. In the event of a liquidation, holders of convertibles may be paid before a company’s common stockholders but after holders of a company’s senior debt obligations. |
• | Depositary Receipts. A fund may invest in securities issued by foreign companies through ADRs, GDRs and EDRs. These securities are subject to many of the risks inherent in investing in foreign securities, including, but not limited to, currency fluctuations and political and financial instability in the home country of a particular depositary receipt. |
• | REITs. REITs or other real estate-related securities are subject to the risks associated with direct ownership of real estate, including declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and local economic conditions or changes in demographic trends or tastes, increases in operating expenses, and adverse governmental, legal or regulatory action (such as changes to zoning laws, changes in interest rates, condemnation, tax increases, regulatory limitations on rents, or enforcement of or changes to environmental regulations). Shares of REITs may trade less frequently and, therefore, are subject to more erratic price movements than securities of larger issuers. REITs typically incur fees that are separate from those incurred by a fund, meaning a fund’s investment in REITs will result in the layering of expenses such that as a shareholder, a fund will indirectly bear a proportionate share of a REIT’s operating expenses. |
• | Rights and Warrants. Investments in rights and warrants may be more speculative than certain other types of investments because rights and warrants do not carry dividend or voting rights with respect to the |
underlying securities or any rights in the assets of the issuer. In addition, the value of a right or a warrant does not necessarily change with the value of the underlying securities and a right or a warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. |
Fixed income market | Fixed income market risk is the risk that the prices of, and the income generated by, fixed income securities held by a fund may decline significantly and/or rapidly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, general economic and market conditions, or other developments, such as regional or global economic instability (including terrorism and related geopolitical risks), interest rate fluctuations, and those events directly involving the issuers that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment. These events may lead to periods of volatility, which may be exacerbated by changes in bond market size and structure. In addition, adverse market events may lead to increased redemptions, which could cause a fund to experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent.
Focused holdings | For funds that normally hold a core portfolio of stocks of fewer companies than other more diversified funds, the increase or decrease of the value of a single stock may have a greater impact on the fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) and total return.
Foreign securities | Investments in foreign securities involve greater risks than investing in domestic securities. As a result, a fund’s return and NAV may be affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions and regulatory requirements in a particular country. Foreign markets, as well as foreign economies and political systems, may be less stable than U.S. markets, and changes in the exchange rates of foreign currencies can affect the value of a fund’s foreign assets. Foreign laws and accounting standards typically are not as strict as they are in the U.S., and there may be less public information available about foreign companies. Custodial and/or settlement systems in foreign markets may not be fully developed and the laws of certain countries may limit the ability to recover assets if a foreign bank or depository or their agents goes bankrupt. Over a given period of time, foreign securities may underperform U.S. securities—sometimes for years. A fund could also underperform if it invests in countries or regions whose economic performance falls short. The risks associated with investments in governmental or quasi-governmental entities of a foreign country are heightened by the potential for unexpected governmental change, which may lead to default or expropriation, and inadequate government oversight and accounting. The effect of recent, worldwide economic instability on specific foreign markets or issuers may be difficult to predict or evaluate. Some national economies continue to show profound instability, which may in turn affect their international trading and financial partners or other members of their currency bloc. Foreign security risk may also apply to ADRs, GDRs and EDRs.
Government sponsored enterprises | Investments in government sponsored enterprises are debt obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. government. These obligations vary in the level of support they receive from the U.S. government. They may be: (1) supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury, such as those of the Government National Mortgage Association; (2) supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, such as those of the Federal National Mortgage Association; (3) supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. government to purchase the issuer’s obligations, such as those of the Student Loan Marketing Association; or (4) supported only by the credit of the issuer, such as those of the Federal Farm Credit Bureau. The U.S. government may choose not to provide financial support to U.S. government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so in which case, if the issuer defaulted, the fund holding securities of such issuer might not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. government.

Growth stocks | Growth companies are expected to increase their earnings at a certain rate. When these expectations are not met, investors may punish the prices of stocks excessively, even if earnings showed an absolute increase. Growth company stocks also typically lack the dividend yield that can cushion stock prices in market downturns.
High-yield securities | Investments in securities rated below investment grade, or “junk bonds,” generally involve significantly greater risks of loss of your money than an investment in investment grade bonds. Compared with issuers of investment grade bonds, junk bonds are more likely to encounter financial difficulties and to be materially affected by these difficulties. Rising interest rates may compound these difficulties and reduce an issuer’s ability to repay principal and interest obligations. Issuers of lower-rated securities also have a greater risk of default or bankruptcy. Additionally, due to the greater number of considerations involved in the selection of a fund’s securities, the achievement of a fund’s objective depends more on the skills of the portfolio manager than investing only in higher-rated securities. Therefore, your investment may experience greater volatility in price and yield. High-yield securities may be less liquid than higher quality investments. A security whose credit rating has been lowered may be particularly difficult to sell.
Inflation | Inflation risk is the risk that the market value of securities will decrease as higher inflation shrinks the purchasing power of any affected currencies.
Interest rates | Investments in investment grade and non-investment grade fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risk. The value of a fund’s fixed income investments typically will fall when interest rates rise. A fund may be particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates if it invests in debt securities with intermediate and long terms to maturity. Debt securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than debt securities with shorter durations. Since the financial crisis that started in 2008, the Federal Reserve has attempted to stabilize the economy and support the economic recovery by keeping the federal funds rate (the interest rate at which depository institutions lend reserve balances to other depository institutions overnight) at or near zero percent. In addition, as part of its monetary stimulus program known as quantitative easing, the Federal Reserve has purchased on the open market large quantities of securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities. The Federal Reserve has halted its asset purchases pursuant to quantitative easing. When the Federal Reserve raises the federal funds rate, which is expected to occur, interest rates are expected to rise. Floating rate securities generally are less sensitive to interest rate changes but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much, or as quickly, as interest rates in general. Conversely, floating rate securities will not generally increase in value if interest rates decline. When a fund holds floating rate securities, a decrease in market interest rates will adversely affect the income received from such securities and the net asset value of the fund’s shares. As of the date of this Prospectus, interest rates are at or near historic lows, which may increase the risk that they could rise significantly and/or rapidly, potentially resulting in substantial losses to the fund.
Liquidity | Liquidity risk is the possibility that the fund might be unable to sell a security promptly and at an acceptable price, which could have the effect of decreasing the overall level of the fund’s liquidity. Market developments may cause the fund’s investments to become less liquid and subject to erratic price movements. The fund could lose money if it cannot sell a security at the time and price that would be most beneficial to the fund.
Market timing | Because of specific securities a fund may invest in, it could be subject to the risk of market timing activities by fund shareholders. Some examples of these types of securities are high-yield, small-cap and foreign securities. Typically, foreign securities offer the most opportunity for these market timing activities. A fund generally prices these foreign securities using their closing prices from the foreign markets in which they trade, typically prior
to a fund’s calculation of its NAV. These prices may be affected by events that occur after the close of a foreign market but before a fund prices its shares. In such instances, a fund may fair value foreign securities. However, some investors may engage in frequent short-term trading in a fund to take advantage of any price differentials that may be reflected in the NAV of a fund’s shares. There is no assurance that fair valuation of securities can reduce or eliminate market timing. While the manager and transfer agent of the Funds monitor trading in each fund, there is no guarantee that they can detect all market timing activities.
Mid-cap companies | Investments in mid-cap companies generally involve greater risks than investing in large-capitalization companies. Mid-cap companies often have narrower markets and limited managerial and financial resources compared to larger, more established companies. The performance of mid-cap companies can be more volatile compared to larger, more established companies, which could increase the volatility of a fund’s portfolio and performance. Shareholders of a fund that invests in mid-cap companies should expect that the value of the fund’s shares will be more volatile than a fund that invests exclusively in large-cap companies. Generally, the smaller the company size, the greater these risks.
Mortgage- and asset-backed securities | Mortgage- and asset-backed security risk, which is possible in an unstable or depressed housing market, arises from the potential for mortgage failure or premature repayment of principal, or a delay in the repayment of principal. The reduced value of the fund’s securities and the potential loss of principal as a result of a mortgagee’s failure to repay would have a negative impact on the fund. Premature repayment of principal would make it difficult for the fund to reinvest the prepaid principal at a time when interest rates on new mortgages are declining, thereby reducing the fund’s income. Conversely, a delay in the repayment of principal could lengthen the expected maturity of the securities, thereby increasing the potential for loss when prevailing interest rates rise, which could cause the values of the securities to fall sharply.
Municipal securities | A municipal security’s value, interest payments or repayment of principal could be affected by economic, legislative or political changes. Municipal securities are also subject to potential volatility in the municipal market and the fund’s share price, yield and total return may fluctuate in response to municipal bond market movements. Municipal securities with principal and interest payments that are made from the revenues of a specific project or facility, as opposed to general tax revenues, may have increased risks. Changes in a municipality’s financial health may affect its ability to make interest and principal payments when due.
Other investment companies, including ETFs | Investments in the securities of other investment companies , including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (which may, in turn invest in equities, bonds, and other financial vehicles), may involve duplication of advisory fees and certain other expenses. By investing in another investment company, a fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company. As a result, fund shareholders indirectly bear the fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses paid by the other investment company, in addition to the fees and expenses fund shareholders indirectly bear in connection with the fund’s own operations.
As a shareholder, the fund must rely on the other investment company to achieve its investment objective. If the other investment company fails to achieve its investment objective, the value of the fund’s investment will decline, adversely affecting the fund’s performance. In addition, because ETFs are listed on national stock exchanges and are traded like stocks listed on an exchange, ETF shares may potentially trade at a discount or a premium. Investments in ETFs are also subject to brokerage and other trading costs, which could result in greater expenses to a fund. Finally, because the value of ETF shares depends on the demand in the market, the portfolio manager may not be able to liquidate a fund’s holdings of ETF shares at the most optimal time, adversely affecting the fund’s performance.

Principal Risks
(UNAUDITED) | 04.30.2015 |
Portfolio turnover | A fund may engage in more active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to a greater extent than certain other mutual funds with similar investment objectives. A fund’s turnover rate may vary greatly from year to year or during periods within a year. A high rate of portfolio turnover may lead to greater transaction costs, result in adverse tax consequences to investors and adversely affect performance.
Redemptions | A fund may experience periods of heavy redemptions that could cause a fund to sell assets at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value. Redemption risk is greater to the extent that one or more investors or intermediaries control a large percentage of investments in a fund, have short investment horizons, or have unpredictable cash flow needs. A general rise in interest rates has the potential to cause investors to move out of fixed income securities on a large scale, which may increase redemptions from mutual funds that hold large amounts of fixed income securities. This, coupled with a reduction in the ability or willingness of dealers and other institutional investors to buy or hold fixed income securities, may result in decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the fixed income markets, and heightened redemption risk. Heavy redemptions, whether by a few large investors or many smaller investors, could hurt a fund’s performance.
Sectors | Companies that are in similar businesses may be similarly affected by particular economic or market events, which may, in certain circumstances, cause the value of securities of all companies in a particular sector of the market to change. To the extent a fund has substantial holdings within a particular sector, the risks associated with that sector increase.
Small-cap companies | Investments in small-cap companies generally involve greater risks than investing in large-capitalization companies. Companies with smaller market capitalizations generally have lower volume of shares traded daily, less liquid stock and more volatile stock prices. Companies with smaller market capitalizations also tend to have a limited product or service base and limited access to capital. Newer companies with unproven business strategies also tend to be smaller companies. The above factors increase risks and make these companies more likely to fail than companies with larger market capitalizations, and could increase the volatility of a fund’s portfolio and performance. Shareholders of a fund that invests in small-cap companies
should expect that the value of the fund’s shares will be more volatile than a fund that invests exclusively in mid-cap or large-cap companies. Generally, the smaller the company size, the greater these risks.
Stock market | Markets may at times be volatile and the value of a fund’s stock holdings may decline in price, sometimes significantly and/or rapidly, because of changes in prices of its holdings or a broad stock market decline. The value of a security may decline due to adverse issuer-specific conditions or general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments that may cause broad changes in market value, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, public perceptions concerning these developments or adverse investment sentiment generally. During a general downturn in the securities markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value simultaneously. Terrorism and related geopolitical risks have led, and may in the future lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally. In addition, markets and market participants are increasingly reliant upon both publicly available and proprietary information data systems. Data imprecision, software or other technology malfunctions, programming inaccuracies, unauthorized use or access, and similar circumstances may impair the performance of these systems and may have an adverse impact upon a single issuer, a group of issuers, or the market at large. In certain cases, an exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on either specific securities or even the entire market, which may result in a fund being, among other things, unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments or accurately price its investments. These fluctuations in stock prices could be a sustained trend or a drastic movement. The stock markets generally move in cycles, with periods of rising prices followed by periods of declining prices. The value of your investment may reflect these fluctuations.
Value stocks | Investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that their true worth may not be fully realized by the market. This may result in the value stocks’ prices remaining undervalued for extended periods of time. A fund’s performance also may be affected adversely if value stocks remain unpopular with or lose favor among investors.
