President’s Letter
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
I am pleased to present the semiannual report and investment performance review of the Eagle Family of Funds for the six-month reporting period that ended April 30, 2011.
During the period, signs of a global economic recovery remained in place. Although there have been some dramatic headlines—a devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan, a wave of anti-government protests in the Middle East, concerns about rising commodity prices—the broad equity markets continued to climb through the end of April. Further, there are some signs that market trends that had hindered the performance of some of our Funds may be abating as we move further into 2011.
I hope you will take the time to read the commentaries that follow, in which each fund’s portfolio managers discuss the specific performance in their funds. As of the date of this report, a common theme amongst the managers is that the economy appears to be moving along, even if at a slow pace. There undoubtedly will be challenges—as there always are—but I believe it is safe to say that our portfolio managers would suggest those challenges represent opportunities. In the end, the common characteristic among our managers is the idea that the way to seek superior risk-adjusted returns for investors is through a disciplined approach to security selection that focuses on long-term fundamentals instead of short-term market behavior.
In addition to reading the managers’ commentaries in this report, the Eagle website is a tremendous resource for fund-related information and timely information from our portfolio managers.
It is an exciting time here at Eagle:
• | | Eagle Asset Management, Inc. assumed day-to-day responsibility of the Growth & Income Fund on June 1 from Thornburg Investment Management. |
We believe this change will continue to serve shareholders’ interests. I would invite you to read more about the new team’s investing discipline at eagleasset.com.
• | | Eagle is celebrating its 35th year. We know there are some firms that have been around longer but we also recognize that many more have been around for much shorter periods. And some have come and gone in the meantime. |
Eagle is as committed to seeking superior performance for our clients today as the day we were founded 35 years ago.
• | | In addition, Eagle intends to offer an R-6 class of shares this upcoming year. |
In an effort to save costs and reduce environmental impact, Eagle is able to offer many reports electronically.

Performance Summary and Commentary |
Eagle Capital Appreciation Fund | | |
Meet the managers | Steven M. Barry, David G. Shell, CFA®, and Timothy M. Leahy, CFA®, are Portfolio Managers of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, LP’s (“GSAM”) “Growth Team.” Messrs. Barry and Shell are Chief Investment Officers and have been responsible for the day-to-day management of the Eagle Capital Appreciation Fund (the “Fund”) since 2002. Mr. Leahy joined GSAM as a Managing Director in 2005, and has been responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio since February 2011.
Investment highlights | The Fund invests primarily in common stocks. The Fund’s portfolio management team believes that wealth is created through the long-term ownership of a growing business. They take a “bottom-up” approach to investing based on in-depth, fundamental research. A bottom-up method of analysis typically emphasizes the outlook at the company and industry level versus reliance on the general economy and/or market trends. The portfolio managers use an intensive research process and each company is analyzed as if they were going to own and operate that company indefinitely. Key characteristics of the companies in which the Fund currently seeks to invest may include: dominant market share, established brand name, pricing power, recurring revenue stream, free cash flow, high returns on invested capital, predictable growth, sustainable growth, long product life cycle, enduring competitive advantage, favorable demographic trends and excellent management.

Performance summary | The Fund’s Class A shares returned 13.22% (excluding front-end sales charges) during the six-month period ended April 30, 2011, underperforming its benchmark index, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, which
returned 16.96%. The Russell 1000® Growth Index measures performance of those Russell 1000® companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values and is representative of U.S. securities exhibiting growth characteristics. Please keep in mind that an index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.
Performance data represented is historical and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. To obtain more current performance data as of the most recent month-end, please visit our website at eagleasset.com.
Performance discussion | U.S. equities continued their positive momentum from late 2010 into 2011 and posted the best first quarter in more than a decade. While all sectors made gains, energy stocks dominated returns as the benchmark Brent Crude oil price reached almost $120 per barrel on supply disruption fears stemming from escalating unrest across North Africa and the Middle East. Strong returns from U.S. equities over the period reflected optimism on improving trends in labor, housing, manufacturing, and consumer confidence.
The Fund delivered positive absolute returns during the period. Positive stock selection in the financial sector and an underweight to utilities contributed to relative performance. The Fund lagged its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index (gross), during the period. Weakness in select telecommunication services and health care holdings detracted from relative returns.
Under performers | Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. ADR detracted from relative performance during the period. Shares fell after the company announced disappointing results in a drug trial for its new multiple sclerosis treatment. We continue to have conviction in the company and believe Teva is well positioned to benefit from the wave of patent expirations of branded drugs in the next few years and the political tailwinds promoting generic drugs. Moreover, Teva is cementing its dominance in the generics industry due to its ability to launch generics earlier than its competitors and its expanding global footprint.
Wireless tower companies American Tower Corp. (Class A) and Crown Castle International Corp. detracted from performance after AT&T announced it would acquire T-Mobile. The
|
Performance Summary and Commentary |

management for the AT&T/T-Mobile combined company announced the acquisition would lead to a number of cost savings synergies, including the reduction in the overall number of cell sites. In our view, this initiative may negatively impact the tower companies as leasing revenue is derived from the number of cell sites. However, we believe the overall impact to the company should be small and spread over several years; therefore, the potential drag on revenues may be relatively modest. While the acquisition may be an incremental near-term hurdle, we continue to have conviction in the tower companies over the long-term as demand for mobile content continues to grow and we believe wireless carriers will be required to add capacity in order to support increased usage, network upgrades and improved coverage.
CME Group Inc., the world’s largest futures and options exchange, detracted from relative returns due to uncertainty over volumes following the end of QE2 (the Federal Reserve’s asset purchasing initiative commonly referred to as “quantitative easing”). Despite this short-term pressure, we believe CME will benefit from the migration of over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives markets to exchanges. Furthermore, we believe CME Group’s interest rate OTC clearing platform will be a long-term growth driver for the company as it meets its customers’ demand for more transparency and less counterparty risk.
Within consumer staples, Avon Products Inc. detracted from performance during the period. Shares declined after Avon reported weaker-than-expected earnings which were driven by disappointing sales and softer margins due to higher input costs. In addition, management lowered its sales guidance for the 2011 calendar year. Despite these near-term setbacks, we continue to believe Avon is poised to deliver higher operating margins over the next few years as its broad geographic footprint, particularly in Latin America, provides exposure to numerous growing markets.
The Fund continues to hold each of the securities noted above as “under performers”.
Top performers | In the first quarter, CB Richard Ellis Group Inc., the world’s leading commercial real estate services firm, contributed to relative performance, as shares traded up in anticipation of the company’s fourth quarter earnings announcement. CB Richard Ellis has benefited from strong sales and leasing revenues as well as cost reductions during the recent downturn, which resulted in significant operating leverage. We continue to have conviction in the company given the strength of its franchise, its service-oriented business model, and its strong management team.
St. Jude Medical Inc., a global medical device company, contributed to relative performance during the quarter. Shares were weak in January after an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggested that ICDs (implantable cardioverter-defibrillators) may be overused. While we believe this evidence could be a headwind for sales, we believe the stock price reaction overstated the impact to the company’s end markets and we added to the position. Subsequently, the market began to have a greater appreciation for the company’s product pipeline and revenue potential causing the shares to rebound, thereby contributing to relative performance.
Oil well services companies Schlumberger Ltd. and Halliburton Company contributed to relative performance during the period. Shares rose as international activity has recovered faster than the market expected. We believe growth in global demand for oil will continue to grow as supply growth becomes more challenging, leading to significant opportunities for energy services companies.
Occidental Petroleum Corp., the oil and gas exploration and production company, contributed to performance as it continued to benefit from rising oil prices. In addition, the company announced management changes and new corporate governance measures that we believe are positive for long-term shareholder value.
The Fund continues to hold each of the securities noted above as “top performers.”

Performance Summary and Commentary |
Eagle Growth & Income Fund | | |
Meet the managers | William V. Fries, CFA®, Managing Director, and Cliff Remily, CFA®, of Thornburg Investment Management, Inc. were Co-Portfolio Managers of the Eagle Growth & Income Fund (the “Fund”). Mr. Fries had served as Co-Portfolio Manager from 2001 to 2011. Mr. Remily was named Co-Portfolio Manager in January 2009. Eagle Asset Management took over the day-to-day responsibility of the Investment Portfolio effective June 1, 2011. The commentary that follows is as of May 15, 2011.
Investment highlights | Prior to June 1, 2011, the Fund invested primarily in domestic equity securities (primarily common stocks) and can invest up to 30% of its net assets in direct foreign securities including up to 10% of its net assets in emerging market securities, including China. The Fund could also invest in fixed income securities. The Fund’s portfolio managers looked for promising investments that can be purchased at a discount to their estimate of each investment’s intrinsic value. The managers sought investments that deliver a competitive total return over multiple time horizons. Holdings are classified in three categories: basic value, consistent earners and emerging franchises as a means of structuring diversification. Dividends and dividend growth are a consideration in stock selection and may include stocks outside the traditional dividend paying areas.

Performance summary | The Fund’s Class A shares returned 11.88% (excluding front-end sales charges) during the six-month period ended April 30, 2011, underperforming its benchmark index, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index (“S&P 500 Index”) which returned 16.36%. The S&P 500
Index is an unmanaged index of 500 U.S. stocks and gives a broad look at how stock prices have performed. Please keep in mind that an index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.
Performance data represented is historical and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. To obtain more current performance data as of the most recent month-end, please visit our website at eagleasset.com.
Performance discussion | Returns in all sectors of the Fund were positive for the six-month period, with particular strength coming from the energy and consumer discretionary sectors. The Fund’s underperformance relative to the benchmark S&P 500 Index was due to both allocation and stock selection effects. Underweights in Industrials, Consumer Staples and Energy sectors as well as overweights in Health Care and Consumer Staples detracted from the relative performance, largely due to stock selection. Conversely, an underweight in Information Technology versus the S&P 500 aided performance. Stock selection was weakest in the Energy and Health Care sectors.
The small remaining exposure to fixed income securities (1.3% of the portfolio) was a net benefit to the fund for the six-month period, but did not help in overcoming the total shortfall against the benchmark. The Fund maintained a 70/30 split between U.S. and Non-U.S. companies, with nearly 2% in emerging markets. Those emerging market holdings produced better results than the rest of the portfolio’s developed market holdings, which is consistent with general market performance for the last six months. International exposure helped the portfolio, with developed countries in Europe, Asia and North America (Canada), by outperforming U.S.-based holdings. Cash levels remained low at less than 3% of total holdings.
The last six months have seen global stock markets in flux, though generally market returns have been positive. While there are some signs of economic recovery in the U.S., there are still headwinds: upward pricing pressure in commodities, particularly in oil and industrial materials, Federal fiscal policy moves, inflationary fears and lackluster job growth are still major concerns going into the second half of 2011 and 2012. However, strong corporate earnings and continued growth in emerging markets are helping to offset poor performance in many developed markets and valuations remain attractive. The
|
Performance Summary and Commentary |
Eagle Growth & Income Fund (cont’d) |
Energy, Industrials and Materials sectors led the benchmark S&P 500’s performance, while the Utilities and Information Technology sectors lagged the group.
Under performers | Google Inc. (Class A) fell on 1Q earnings results as revenues were solid but operating expenses disappointed. Clearly returns were not as strong as the previous quarter and this set of results did not provide a hoped-for catalyst for Google shares.
Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. is a global pharmaceutical company. Along with general pricing pressure due to Middle East tensions that were rampant in the first quarter of 2011, competition to Capaxone, one of Teva’s key drugs (42% of profits in 2010), pushed the Teva stock price lower. Its announcement that it would acquire Cephalon was met with market indifference, as this leader in generic pharmaceuticals has been the victim of negative market sentiment, although we believe the negativity is unwarranted.
Lorillard Inc. was sold in February after news that the FDA and other organizations will potentially pressure the government to either place onerous restrictions on Menthol products or possibly ban menthol cigarettes outright. We believe this risk outweighed the positive factors for owning Lorillard.
AllianceBernstein Holding LP has seen its market share, and subsequently its stock price, deteriorate due to continuing outflow problems. Concerns that it might not be able to turn itself around, despite a low valuation relative to its peers, resulted in the stock being sold in February.
Information technology vendor, Dell Inc, underperformed during the period. Due to a fundamental deterioration in the investment thesis, as well as perceived pricing pressures and disappointing PC sales, Dell was sold.
Top performers | Baidu Inc./China ADR is the leading online search provider in China. With Google leaving the Chinese market and no other real competition, Baidu continues to benefit from surging Chinese economic growth, which translated into strong first quarter earnings.
Canadian Oil Sands Ltd. benefited from rising oil prices, which was reflected in their fourth quarter 2010 and first quarter 2011 earnings. The positive results led the company to increase its 2011 guidance and dividend 50%. Also, as improved technology allows better and cleaner production capacity, consumer sentiment appears to be shifting in this stock’s favor.
Lower-than-expected loan loss provisions contributed to SVB Financial Group’s first quarter 2011 earnings beating estimates soundly, boosting share price. While loan demand remains lackluster, SVB Financial Group has posted three sequential positive quarters, and management states that the pipeline for new loans remains strong.
ConocoPhillips, the third largest integrated energy company in the U.S., profited from rising oil prices, which boosted the company’s first quarter earnings and stock price. The company also announced plans to sell between $5 to 10 billion of non-core assets over the next two years, using the proceeds to buy back stock and invest in growing its business.
Ensco PLC ADR, a global provider of offshore drilling services, benefited from rising oil prices. First quarter earnings were positive and the company continues to invest in its future with its proposed acquisition of Pride International Inc. Ensco also benefited from the U.S. government’s decision to end the moratorium on offshore drilling permits in the Gulf of Mexico.

Performance Summary and Commentary |
Eagle International Equity Fund |
Meet the managers | Richard C. Pell is Chief Executive Officer at Artio Global Investors Inc. and Chief Investment Officer at its affiliate, Artio Global Management LLC (“Artio Global”). Rudolph-Riad Younes, CFA®, is Head of International Equities at Artio Global. Messrs. Pell and Younes have managed the Eagle International Equity Fund (the “Fund”) since 2002.
Investment highlights | The Fund invests primarily in foreign equity securities. The Fund’s portfolio managers seek investment opportunities within the developed and emerging markets. In the developed markets, a “bottom-up” approach is adopted. A bottom-up method of analysis emphasizes the outlook at the company and industry level versus reliance on the general economy and/or market trends. In the emerging markets, a “top-down” assessment consisting of currency/ interest rate risks, political environments/leadership assessment, growth rates, structural reforms and risk (liquidity) is applied. A top-down method of analysis emphasizes the significance of economy and market cycles. In Japan, given the highly segmented nature of this market comprised of both strong global competitors and protected domestic industries, a hybrid approach encompassing both bottom-up and top-down analyses is conducted.

Performance summary | The Fund’s Class A shares returned 10.20% (excluding front-end sales charges) during the six-month period ended April 30, 2011, underperforming its benchmark index, which returned 12.44%. The Fund’s benchmark index, the Morgan Stanley Capital International® All Country World Index ex-US (“MSCI® ACWI ex-US”), is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global developed
and emerging markets. Please keep in mind that an index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Performance discussion | For the six months ended April 30, 2011, international equity markets marched higher. Continued accommodative monetary policies in the developed world, trumped by a second round of quantitative easing by the U.S. Federal Reserve, added to the belief that the economic recovery will remain on course. However, periods of optimism were tested by the deteriorated fiscal positions of Greece, Ireland, Portugal and other peripheral members of the Euro zone. In spite of this, the euro managed to advance by approximately 6% versus the U.S. dollar, adding allure to dollar-based investors venturing into Euro zone investments. Elsewhere, fears over mounting inflationary pressures in Asia led to increased volatility in the Indian and Chinese markets as those countries’ Central Banks responded by hiking interest rates, leading to concerns over prospective economic growth. Topping the news headlines was the turmoil which erupted in the Middle East and North Africa, as well as the tragic and devastating effects of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. Amid all of these major events, equities were surprisingly resilient.
The Fund underperformed the benchmark during the review period due to positioning in emerging markets as well as stock selection in developed markets, primarily within financials. Within emerging markets, the Fund’s overweight to, and stock selection in, India had the largest negative impact as did the overweight to China amid fears of inflation in the region. Stock selection in Russia also detracted from the Fund’s performance. The Fund benefited, however, from stock selection in Taiwan. Within developed markets, positions held in the financial sector in Hong Kong underperformed as hikes in interest rates in the region led to concerns over economic growth prospects. Contributing to results was the Fund’s positioning within Europe, specifically in industrials and healthcare. The Fund’s underweight to Japan also had a positive impact on results as the country underperformed amid

the devastating effects of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear reactor crisis. Another factor which had a negative impact on performance was cash and currency hedging. The decision to hedge a portion of the Fund’s exposure to the euro had a negative effect given the Euro’s strength during the review period.
Under performers | iShares MSCI India Index Fund, Larsen & Toubro Ltd GDR, India’s largest engineering company, and Hang Lung Properties Ltd., a real estate developer based in Hong Kong, underperformed amid concerns over mounting inflation and the effect that rising interest rates may have on economic growth in the Asian region. The Fund sold its position in iShares MSCI India Index Fund, but continues to hold Larsen & Toubro Ltd GDR and Hang Lung Properties Ltd.
Lloyds Banking Group PLC Britain underperformed amid concerns that rising funding costs may squeeze profit margins in 2011. As of the end of the period, the Fund continues to hold this position.
Hypermarcas SA, Brazil’s fourth-largest consumer goods company, also underperformed amid concerns over the dilutive effects of an announced acquisition by the company. Although it underperformed, the Fund continues to hold this position.
Top performers | HTC Corp., the Taiwanese Smartphone manufacturer, benefited from continued strong demand for Android-based phones.
BG Group PLC, the British oil and gas company, outperformed given its fast growing production profile amid a strong backdrop for energy. The company is active not only in the North Sea but also in Brazil and Australia.
Xstrata PLC, a global diversified mining group with operations in 19 countries, operates a world-wide portfolio of metals and mining businesses with the aim of delivering industry-leading returns. The stock has been a beneficiary of the ongoing strong demand for metals.
Fraport AG, the German owner and operator of Frankfurt Airport, is one of the leading companies in the airport business worldwide. The stock outperformed amid improved passenger figures and cargo volumes.
Baidu Inc./China ADR, a Chinese internet search engine company, outperformed on positive growth expectations for the company given its exposure to the growing Chinese consumer segment.
The Fund continues to hold each of the securities noted above as “top performers.”

Performance Summary and Commentary |
Eagle Investment Grade Bond Fund |
Meet the managers | James C. Camp, CFA®, a Managing Director at Eagle Asset Management (“Eagle”) and Joseph Jackson, CFA®, are Co-Portfolio Managers of the Eagle Investment Grade Bond Fund (the “Fund”) and have been jointly responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio since the Fund’s inception.
Investment highlights | The Fund invests primarily in investment grade fixed income securities. Investment grade is defined as securities rated [BBB-] or better by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services or an equivalent rating by at least one other nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, for unrated securities, those that are determined to be of equivalent quality by the Fund’s Portfolio Manager. The average portfolio duration of the Fund is expected to vary and may generally range anywhere from two to seven years based upon economic and market conditions. The Fund expects to invest in a variety of fixed income securities including, but not limited to corporate debt securities of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers, including corporate commercial paper; bank certificates of deposit; debt securities issued by states or local governments and their agencies; obligations of non-U.S. Governments and their subdivisions, agencies and government sponsored enterprises; obligations of international agencies or supranational entities (such as the European Union); obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and its agencies; mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities; commercial real estate securities; and floating rate instruments.

Performance summary | The Fund’s Class A shares returned -1.03% (excluding front-end sales charges) during the six-month period ended April 30, 2011, underperforming its
benchmark index, which returned -0.47%. The Fund’s benchmark index, the Barclays Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index, includes U.S. government and investment grade credit securities that have a greater than or equal to one year and less than ten years remaining to maturity and have $250 million or more of outstanding face value. Please keep in mind that an index is not available for direct investment; therefore its performance does not reflect the expenses associated with the active management of an actual portfolio.

Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. To obtain more current performance data as of the most recent month-end, please visit our website at eagleasset.com.
Performance discussion | Diverse global macroevents impacted the fixed income market over the last six months. The initiation of the Federal Reserve’s second round of quantitative easing provided additional liquidity to the market for risk assets and most definitely had the effect of driving prices higher. In addition, the extension of jobless benefits and payroll tax holiday provided a measure of stimulus to American consumers in the first half of 2011. Somewhat offsetting these factors were a slew of geo-political events that wreaked havoc on markets for brief periods. The most notable negative events were the earthquake, ensuing tsunami and partial nuclear meltdown in Japan. The earthquake and tsunami put pressure on tech companies with large manufacturing centers within Japan, and the meltdown called the future of nuclear power generation into question, affecting utility companies around the globe. Tensions in the Middle East erupted in Egypt, Libya, and elsewhere, helping to send oil prices to multi-year highs. The extended period of zero percent interest rates in the U.S. was blamed, in part, for escalating commodity prices and inflation at the producer level.
The Fund underperformed the Barclays Intermediate Government/Credit Index during the six-month period ended April 30, 2011. The largest contributor to Fund performance was a significant underweight in Treasuries. Riskier assets outperformed Treasuries by a large margin during the period. The positioning of the Fund in the corporate sector was the largest detractor from relative performance mainly due to being underweight in Financial Institutions and higher risk issuers. Other sector allocation returns were negligible with respect to relative performance.

Performance Summary and Commentary |
Eagle Investment Grade Bond Fund (cont’d) |
Under performers | Exelon Generation Comp. LLC 5.20% 10/01/19 bonds declined on the news of a possible nuclear meltdown in Japan. Nuclear power is a key component of Excelon operations. The Fund continues to own this security.
eBay Inc. 1.63% 10/15/15 underperformed higher beta securities during the quarter as investors sought high-yielding investments. The Fund sold this security.
Both General Mills Inc. 5.65% 02/15/19 and PepsiCo Inc. 7.90% 11/01/18, and consumer products companies in general, were hurt by rising inflation and tightening margins due to the recent run-up in commodity prices. The Fund sold both of these securities.
Verizon Communications Inc. 6.35% 04/01/19 spreads widened due to the announcement of ATT’s agreement to purchase T-Mobile (a merger of Verizon’s two largest rivals). The Fund continues to own this security.
Top performers | Both CR Bard Inc. 4.40% 01/15/21 and Merck & Co., Inc. 2.25% 01/15/16 are issues that have benefited from outperformance in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries.
Willis Group Holdings PLC 4.13% 03/15/16 (BBB-,Baa3) was an example of a lower-rated issue performing well. Generally speaking, risk rallied throughout the period; high-yield outperformed investment grade, Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities outperformed Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities, and financials outperformed industrials and utilities.
PNC Funding Corp. 4.38% 08/11/20 and CME Group Index Services LLC 144A 4.40% 03/15/18 are good examples of high-grade financials that outperformed high-grade industrials and utilities during the period.
The Fund continues to hold each of the securities noted above as “top performers.”

Eagle Large Cap Core Fund | | |
Meet the managers | Richard Skeppstrom, John “Jay” Jordan, CFA®, Craig Dauer, CFA®, and Robert Marshall at Eagle Asset Management, Inc. (“Eagle”) have been Co-Portfolio Managers of the Eagle Large Cap Core Fund (the “Fund”) since inception. Mr. Skeppstrom is a Managing Director at Eagle.
Investment highlights | The Fund invests primarily in common stocks. When identifying investments for the Fund, the portfolio managers use a “bottom-up” research process that is combined with a proprietary relative-valuation discipline. A bottom-up method of analysis emphasizes the outlook at the company and industry level versus reliance on the general economy and/or market trends. In general, the portfolio managers seek to select securities that, at the time of purchase, have above-average expected returns and at least one of the following characteristics: projected earnings growth rate at or above the benchmark index, above-average earnings quality and stability, or a price-to-earnings ratio comparable to the benchmark index.

Performance summary | The Fund’s Class A shares returned 16.95% (excluding front-end sales charges) during the six-month period ended April 30, 2011, outperforming its benchmark index, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Index (“S&P 500 Index”), which returned 16.36%. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 U.S stocks and gives a broad look at how stock prices have performed.

Performance discussion | In recording the strongest first quarter in years for major indices—thirteen years for the S&P 500 and twelve years for the Dow Jones Industrials—investor sentiment was tested in volatile trading during mid-February through mid-March 2011 as turmoil swept through the Middle East, raising crude oil prices and fears of potential supply disruptions. Additionally, Japan experienced a devastating earthquake/tsunami with severe damage to nuclear power plants and the prospect of supply chain disruptions. But strong corporate earnings, the prospect of further Fed accommodation, and sufficient economic data to support continued growth carried the equity market higher through April 2011 along with crude oil, gold, and other commodity prices, while the dollar fell to its lowest level since mid-2008. S&P 500 performance during the reporting period was led by energy, industrials, and materials sectors. Below-average-performing sectors included utilities, information technology, consumer staples, telecommunication services, financials, and health care. The consumer discretionary sector matched the index performance.
The Fund outperformed its S&P 500 benchmark during the period, led by outperformance in overweighted healthcare, low allocation to the weak-performing utilities sector, stock selection in underweighted telecommunication services, and low allocation to the underperforming consumer staples sector. The Fund underperformed its benchmark in the following sectors: market-weighted energy; and market-weighted consumer discretionary.
Top performers | St. Jude Medical Inc. reported it has seen market share gains at a premium price in Europe for its new quadripolar CRT-D (ICD + cardiac resynchronization, for heart failure patients) leads. These new leads allow surgeons to get accurate electrical placement and secure physical placement in the heart, rather than having to tradeoff between the two. Having this temporary technology advantage may allow St. Jude to gain access to hospitals where it has previously been excluded.
Exxon Mobil Corp. remained a strong holding while the energy sector benefited from the increasing intensity of internal conflicts in the Middle East which, in turn, has sharply boosted oil prices on supply concerns. While we believe oil prices

remain below most theoretical estimates of demand destruction levels, rising energy prices bear attention as to their potential impact on global economic growth.
Tyco International Ltd., a leading provider of electronic security products and services, was a top performer as Schneider National Inc. held exploratory discussions with bankers regarding a potential acquisition of Tyco. While we believe the magnitude and complexity of the transaction makes a deal unlikely, we think Schneider’s interest highlights the strong free cash flow yield at Tyco as well as the improving business trends and operating leverage at Tyco’s subsidiary, ADT Security Services Inc.
UnitedHealth Group Inc., a provider of health services and benefits, investors are becoming increasingly comfortable that managed care companies can successfully navigate U.S. healthcare reform, reflected in rising earnings estimate revisions.
Management at EMC Corporation, a provider of storage hardware solutions, presented a very upbeat strategy during the company’s analyst day in February regarding the tenor of current business and the 3-5 year outlook for its cloud computing endeavors.
The Fund continues to hold each of the securities noted above as “top performers.”
Under performers | Cisco Systems Inc. issued disappointing guidance for fiscal third quarter earnings as weakness in government and consumer divisions carried over from last quarter’s disappointment. The company’s explanation for near-term margin pressure highlights the meaningful product transition across Cisco’s router and switch product lines with an expectation that margins will rebound as the transition matures. The rationale for owning Cisco is based in what we believe is broad, leading exposure to the strongest trends in technology spending (data growth, “the cloud”, data center development, and wireless).
Google Inc. (Class A) reported very strong revenue growth of 27% in the first quarter but expenses grew even faster, reducing earnings growth to the high teens. The market would rather not see explosive expense growth because of fears that many initiatives could be wasteful. However, considering Google’s high profitability and growth orientation, we believe strong spending growth is likely a sign of confidence, and the stock is still held.
EOG Resources Inc. was sold in December. While EOG remains in the top tier of exploration and production companies as it relates to future production growth, our thesis for owning it was based in a belief that modestly higher natural gas prices would support a level of cash flows capable of funding the meaningful capital program required to drive strong, oil-based production. Nevertheless, due to the persistently high levels of natural gas production and the resultant pressure on natural gas prices, EOG was forced to lower production growth rates while increasing debt and selling assets, and its qualitative characteristics were in decline while the valuation remained average versus its peer group.
The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. beat consensus first quarter earnings estimates, but revenue dropped 7% as the company is operating using low leverage, high capital and near-record liquidity due to its unwillingness to take big risks while waiting for yet-unwritten rules affecting areas such as derivatives and proprietary trading. We expect that cash should be put to work when the firm sees better market opportunities. The Fund continues to hold this stock.
Hewlett-Packard was sold in April. With higher energy costs and continued economic uncertainty weighing on the consumer, PC sales for the market have been weak. In addition, the Japanese earthquake created supply chain problems, causing concern regarding pricey acquisitions by new management to meet top-line growth expectations.

Performance summary | The Fund’s Class A shares returned 21.91% (excluding front-end sales charges) during the six-month period ended April 30, 2011, underperforming its benchmark index, which returned 22.62%.

Performance discussion | On an absolute basis, the consumer discretionary, information technology and industrials sectors led the Fund’s returns during the reporting period, while all sectors except telecommunication services posted gains. In consumer discretionary, the Fund’s holdings in the hotels, restaurants and leisure and textiles apparel and luxury goods industries performed well. In information technology, stocks in the software and semiconductors and semiconductor equipment industries posted strong gains. In industrials, the Fund’s investments in the machinery industry had strong performance. In addition, the Fund’s holdings in the metals and mining industry, which is part of the materials sector, contributed to overall absolute performance. On an absolute basis, the telecommunications services, consumer staples and financials sectors lagged. In telecommunications, the Fund’s wireless telecommunication services holdings posted negative returns. In consumer staples, the Fund’s single holding in the food products industry traded down. In financials, holdings in the diversified financial services and real estate management and development industries lagged.
The Fund slightly underperformed its benchmark index for the reporting period. Relative to the benchmark, the Fund underperformed most significantly in telecommunication services and information technology. The Fund’s holdings in the telecommunication services sector, one of the smallest sectors in the portfolio, posted slightly negative returns. Despite solid absolute returns, the Fund lagged in information technology due to its holdings in the internet software and services and electronic equipment and instruments industries. Relative to the benchmark, stocks in the consumer discretionary sector outperformed due to an overweight position in the hotels, restaurants and leisure industry. In materials, the Fund outperformed the benchmark due to strong returns in the chemicals and metals and mining industries. The Fund also benefited from a lack of exposure to the airlines industry, as higher fuel costs hurt the benchmark constituents

of this group. The airlines industry is a component of the industrials sector.
Under performers | Akamai Technologies Inc. provides technologies that improve the delivery of content over the internet. Shares of the stock pulled back when the company lowered first quarter earnings expectations. The Fund continues to hold its shares of the stock.
Shares of Thoratec Corp, the pioneer in left-ventricular-assist devices, traded down when a competitor released clinical data for its product that suggested a slightly better adverse event profile than Thoratec’s device. The Fund sold its shares.
Dean Foods Co. is the largest processor and distributor of milk in the U.S. We had expected the company would be able to improve profitability, however, this turnaround has yet to materialize. The company’s cost structure is highly sensitive to dairy prices, and milk prices have remained extremely competitive. The Fund sold the stock.
Chip designer NVIDIA Corp produces a processor that goes in tablet PCs. The stock traded down somewhat on speculation that there could be a supply glut of the processors. However, we believe the stock is attractively valued and continue to hold its shares in the Fund.
Dolby Laboratories Inc. (Class A) develops audio and surround-sound technologies. The stock traded down after the company revised its full year guidance to reflect slower growth in the PC market. The Fund sold the stock.
Top performers | ARM Holdings PLC ADR, a beneficiary of smartphone and tablet adoption, announced that a future version of the Windows operating system will run on ARM-based processors. This will enable the company to expand its addressable market to include Windows-based tablets and potentially servers, notebooks, and desktop PCs.
Chicago Bridge & Iron Co, N.V. is an engineering and construction firm with significant exposure to liquefied natural gas. Increase in the stock price is correlated to the rising price of oil. In addition, we believe the recent nuclear power issues in Japan may cause that country’s government to increase use of natural gas in power generation, which could ultimately benefit the company.
Continental Resources Inc. is an oil and gas producer and the largest acreage owner in the Bakken Shale. This stock also has benefited from rising oil prices.
Polycom Inc. is a supplier of voice and video communications equipment targeted to business users. The stock traded up after the company reported better-than-expected earnings growth.
Shares of metallurgical coal producer Walter Energy, Inc. traded up during the period. Similar to Chicago Bridge & Iron Co, N.V., the increase was correlated to the rising price of oil.
The Fund continues to hold each of the securities noted above as “top performers.”

Performance summary | The Fund’s Class A shares returned 15.92% (excluding front-end sales charges) during the six-month period ended April 30 2011, underperforming its benchmark index, the Standard & Poor’s MidCap 400 Index (“S&P MidCap 400”) which returned 23.25%. The S&P MidCap 400, is an unmanaged index that measures the performance of the mid-sized company segment of the U.S. market.

Performance discussion | Widespread market risk dominated returns until late in 2010 and stocks mostly traded together leaving company specific risk small. In early 2011, many were surprised that the stock market continued to produce strong returns in spite of headline news that was difficult to overlook: select European bond yields are at all-time highs; Japan, the world’s third-largest economy, suffered dual disasters; state and local cutbacks here in the United States; oil prices are at several-year highs; housing prices have fallen to a new post-bubble low; and developed nations have high debt burdens.
The Fund underperformed its benchmark index, the S&P Mid Cap 400, during this time period. On an absolute basis, energy and industrials contributed the most to the Fund while telecommunication services had negative performance. Information technology and consumer discretionary did not perform well on a relative basis. In technology, our electronic equipment holdings were up but not as much as the industry was in the benchmark. In consumer discretionary, our conservative overweight in media outperformed the index, yet it hurt on a relative basis. Furthermore, the underweight in specialty retailers hurt the Fund and our holdings were not up as much as those of the index, yet speciality retail is a cyclical industry that, by its nature, often does not meet our investment criterion. The Fund’s holdings in the utilities and financials sectors performed well. We remained underweight the index in utilities, a sector that lagged the broader index. In financials, the Fund performed well in real estate investment trusts and consumer finance.
Under performers | Dolby Laboratories Inc. (Class A), an innovator of audio, imaging, and voice technologies, traded lower, in spite of beating earnings, as it decreased its 2011 revenue guidance based on weakness in personal computer sales. We will continue to monitor the holding because—while it has a strong business model with cash generation, high margins and no debt—new devices, such as tablets, might begin to cannibalize existing sales.
Marvell Technology Group Ltd. traded lower after fourth quarter earnings were at the low end of guidance. We chose to sell the
| | |
Performance Summary and Commentary |
Eagle Mid Cap Stock Fund (cont’d) |
position as the communications component supplier gave estimates that the next quarter was also going to be challenging with higher research and development and new product costs.
Energizer Holdings, Inc. reported a weak first quarter and guided the rest of the year’s earnings lower. The company had less battery growth than expected and invested more than expected in its Schick Hydro launch. We chose to sell the holding as visibility on future earnings decreased and we were left with a lower upside.
We sold our holdings in DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. (Class A) because 2011 is proving to be more difficult than we expected for movie revenues and DVD sales. We continue to believe there is considerable franchise value in the holding but other media names are more compelling to us right now.
Lorillard, Inc. traded lower as increased business risks surrounded the potential menthol regulation from the Tobacco Products Scientific Advisory Committee (“Committee”). The Fund sold Lorillard as the Committee was considering recommending a full ban on menthol cigarettes that would severely impair sales. We still view Lorillard as one of the best domestic tobacco companies but the company is very dependent on its line of menthol cigarettes (e.g., Newport).
Top performers | National Oilwell Varco Inc., a worldwide leader in providing major mechanical components for land and offshore drilling rigs, saw an uptick in inbound orders as there has been a large change in the sentiment for contract drillers, causing them to increase their orders for rigs. New orders for capital equipment jumped to $2 billion during this period and it was the first time orders exceeded deliveries since 2008. With
the potential for a new offshore rig construction cycle beginning to unfold, we continue to hold National Oilwell Varco as we believe they stand to benefit the most from this situation.
St. Jude Medical Inc. traded higher as investors began to assign a higher value to its Quadra pacemaker. The Quadra uses four electronic leads to attach to the heart, thereby making it more likely that the pacemaker attachment will be successful. We believe there is still more upside to this holding because St. Jude has the leading technology in a non-discretionary healthcare area. The Fund continues to hold this stock.
Solutia Inc. is a specialty chemicals manufacturer of niche films and fibers. Solutia held an investor day during which the company raised expectations going forward and set lofty long term targets while unveiling a path to get there. The company expects to maintain the highest profit margins in the industry and leading positions in the markets where it competes. We continue to hold this position in the Fund.
Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., a leader in network security software, continues to cross sell its products after it acquired Nokia’s appliances business. It has had success migrating users to newer versions of the platform and these newer versions have additional functionality and higher average selling prices. The Fund continues to hold this stock.
Agilent Technologies Inc., manufacturer of a wide range of analytical instrumentation relating to mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, chromatography, and biotechnology, continued to execute well throughout the holding period. After its investor day, the company took on a premium valuation which provided the Fund an opportunity to exit the position at a good value.

Meet the managers | David M. Adams, CFA®, Lead Portfolio Manager, and John “Jack” McPherson, CFA®, Co-Portfolio Manager, are Managing Directors at Eagle Boston Investment Management, Inc. (“EBIM”) and have been responsible for the day-to-day management of the Eagle Small Cap Core Value Fund (the “Fund”) since its inception.
Investment highlights | The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of small-capitalization companies. Using a value approach to investing, the Fund’s portfolio managers seek to capture capital growth by selecting securities that the portfolio managers believe are selling at a discount relative to their underlying value and then hold them until their market value reflects their intrinsic value. To assess value, a “bottom-up” method of analysis is utilized. A bottom-up method of analysis emphasizes the outlook at the company and industry level versus reliance on the general economy and/or market trends. Other factors that the portfolio managers may look for when selecting investments include: management with demonstrated ability and commitment to the company, above-average potential for earnings and revenue growth, low debt levels relative to total capitalization and strong industry fundamentals.

Performance summary | The Fund’s Class A shares returned 24.18% (excluding front-end sales charges) during the six-month period ended April 30, 2011, outperforming both benchmark indices, the Russell 2000® Index and Russell 2500® Index, which returned 23.73% and 23.71% respectively. The Russell 2000® Index is an unmanaged index comprised of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000® Index, and the Russell 2500® Index is a market cap weighted index that includes the smallest 2,500 companies in

Performance discussion | The Fund realized a strong absolute return during the period. The energy, health care, material, industrial, consumer discretionary and staples sectors realized the best returns for the Fund during the period. Telecommunications services, utilities, financials and information technology lagged the overall return for the Fund as well as the benchmark.
The Fund outperformed the benchmarks during the reporting period. The primary factor was stock selection, particularly in the industrial, health care and materials sectors of the market. Secondarily, the Fund’s fundamentally-oriented focus on higher quality companies with below average balance sheet leverage combined with our value oriented approach was rewarded more fittingly than in the more recent higher beta-oriented markets. We believe that higher quality stocks tend to outperform higher beta stocks over longer periods of time and we remain committed to focusing on the higher quality segment of the market. Performance also was negatively impacted by being overweight the underperforming telecom service sector and by slight underperformance in the financial and information technology sectors.
Top performers | Rosetta Resources Inc., an oil and gas exploration and production company, appreciated 92% as a result of strong exploration results in its Eagle Ford Shale play in south Texas. We believe that this emerging development opportunity has the potential to add significant shareholder value over a multi-year time horizon.
AMERIGROUP Corp, a provider of Medicaid managed care services to state governments, appreciated 64% on the heels of a strong fourth quarter earnings report which capped off a year of strong earnings reports. With a favorable long-term outlook driven by tight state budgets looking for cost savings

opportunities, we believe the long-term potential remains solidly intact for AGP.
Bottomline Technologies Inc., a provider of accounts payable automation solutions for corporations, appreciated 54% due to strong fundamental results reported during the period. We continue to believe the company is in the early stages of building a valuable franchise that capitalizes on an emerging market opportunity.
Dresser-Rand Group Inc., a manufacturer of industrial compressors, appreciated 54% as strong near-term earnings results combined with a strong pipeline of new business opportunities drove the stock higher. Our long-term thesis remains intact for Dresser-Rand.
On Assignment Inc., a temporary staffing firm, appreciated 95% as the company grew revenue and earnings (primarily in information technology and life sciences), while the staffing industry overall was negative during the period.
The Fund continues to hold each of the securities noted above as “top performers.”
Under performers | Net 1 UEPS Tech. Inc., a provider of transaction processing services to governmental agencies serving poor and unbanked populations globally, dropped 32%. The drop appears to be in reaction to the ongoing delay of the long anticipated contract renewal with their largest client. We view the uncertainty as being discounted in the share price and therefore continue to hold the position.
Crude Carriers Corp, an owner and operator of crude tank carriers, fell 26% as pricing for their services has remained weak throughout the past six months. We believe softness in day rates is unsustainable in the long-term, coupled with low valuations on the vessels. The Fund sold the stock.
Assured Guaranty Ltd., a provider of financial guaranty insurance, dropped 22% following the announcement by Standard and Poor’s that they were proposing a change to the credit rating criteria for bond insurers. The effect of this change would create a need to raise additional capital by Assured. With the stock selling at a significant discount to book value, we think this issue is discounted in the stock and that considerable upside exists if the rating agencies ease their initial proposal, which is a distinct possibility. We continue to own the stock.
LECG Corp., a provider of consulting services to large corporations, fell 85%. While the company was in the midst of negotiating a new line of credit to replace an existing line that was due to mature at the end of March 2011, the company announced it had been approached with an unsolicited offer from a competitor to buy a portion of the business. This had the effect of limiting the company’s re-financing options, which led to the decision to sell these businesses and liquidate the remaining pieces of the business. As a result of this announcement, we eliminated the position from the portfolio.
SWS Group Inc., a boutique investment bank and brokerage firm, dropped 11% during the quarter. Weak trading volumes at the brokerage business plus poor performance of the company’s loan portfolio continue to pressure results. A proposed convertible bond issuance contributed to the fall as investors viewed the offering as unnecessarily dilutive to existing shareholders. We continue to hold the position as we believe the share price overly discounts the weak fundamentals and we believe the troubled loan portfolio has been fully reflected on the balance sheet.

Performance summary | The Fund’s Class A shares returned 27.05% (excluding front-end sales charges) during the six-month period ended April 30, 2011, slightly underperforming its benchmark index, the Russell 2000® Growth Index, which returned 27.07%.

Performance discussion | On an absolute basis, the energy, consumer discretionary and information technology sectors led the Fund’s returns during the reporting period, while all three sectors posted gains. In energy, the Fund’s investments in the energy equipment and services industry had strong performance. In consumer discretionary, the Fund’s holdings in the specialty retail and hotels, restaurants and leisure industries performed well. In information technology, the stocks in the semiconductors and semiconductor equipment and software industries posted strong gains. In addition, the Fund’s holdings in the chemicals industry, which is part of the materials sector, contributed to overall absolute performance. On an absolute basis, the industrials and health care sectors lagged. In industrials, the Fund’s airlines holdings posted negative returns, while holdings in the commercial services & supplies industry lagged. In health care, the Fund’s holdings in the health care technology industry lagged the index returns for the group.
The Fund performed comparably with its benchmark index for the reporting period. Relative to the benchmark, stocks in the energy sector outperformed due to an overweight posture and strong stock selection in the energy equipment and services industry. In the consumer discretionary sector, the Fund outperformed the benchmark due to strong returns and an overweight position in the specialty retail and auto components industries. The Fund underperformed most significantly in industrials and, to a lesser extent, in the health care and information technology sectors. Information technology was a relative laggard due to underperformance of the Fund’s holdings in the internet software and services and communications equipment industries.

Performance Summary and Commentary |
Eagle Small Cap Growth Fund (cont’d) |
Under performers | Dean Foods Co. is the largest processor and distributor of milk in the U.S. We expected the company to be able to improve profitability, however, a turnaround has yet to materialize. The company’s cost structure is highly sensitive to dairy prices, and milk prices have remained extremely competitive. The Fund sold the stock.
Shares of Thoratec Corp., the pioneer in left-ventricular-assist devices (LVADs), traded down when a competitor released clinical data for its product that suggested a slightly better adverse event profile than Thoratec’s device. We believe the resulting downward movement in the value of Thoratec’s shares was an overreaction as we expect the LVAD market will grow to be large enough to support more than one competitor. We believe that Thoratec will likely remain the leader in a market that could reach $3 to $5 billion over the next 5 to 10 years. The Fund continues to hold shares of Thoratec.
Shares of low-cost airline JetBlue Airways Corp. dipped slightly during the period due to short-term concerns over rising fuel costs. The Fund continues to own shares.
MedAssets Inc. provides software solutions that help hospitals and health systems improve their operating margins by lowering supply costs and increasing revenue capture. The company’s consulting services division has grown so quickly that they did not have the infrastructure in place to deliver on targets that would have earned them certain bonuses. Management has taken actions to slow the growth of this business until it has the proper infrastructure in place. We believe the stock is oversold at current levels and continue to hold shares in the Fund.
James River Coal Co. mines, processes, and sells coal to electric utility companies and industrial customers. The stock dipped slightly during the period on no significant news. The negative impact on the Fund was minimal. The Fund continues to hold its shares.
Top performers | Shares in oil equipment manufacturer Lufkin Industries, Inc. benefited from strong oil prices and an increase in the number of active drilling rigs.
Shares in chemical producer Huntsman Corporation appreciated as the economic outlook improved for this highly cyclical industry.
TIBCO Software, Inc., a provider of enterprise middleware software, has delivered solid execution as demand for its middleware, business process management, and predictive analytics software has remained robust.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1 | Organization and investment objective The Eagle Capital Appreciation Fund, Eagle Growth & Income Fund and 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 diversified, open-end management investment companies. Members of the Boards of Trustees (“Boards”) for the Trusts may serve as Trustees for one or more of the Trusts. Each Trust offers 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 seven series:
| • | | The Eagle International Equity Fund (“International Equity Fund”) seeks capital appreciation principally through investment in a portfolio of international equity securities, |
| • | | The Eagle Investment Grade Bond Fund (“Investment Grade Bond Fund”) seeks current income and preservation of capital, |
| • | | The Eagle Large Cap Core Fund (“Large Cap Core Fund”) seeks long-term growth through capital appreciation, |
| • | | 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 Core Value Fund (“Small Cap Core Value Fund”) seeks capital growth, and |
| • | | The Eagle Small Cap Growth Fund (“Small Cap Growth Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation. |
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.
| • | | 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 and Class R-5 shares are each sold without a front-end sales charge or a CDSC to qualified buyers. |
NOTE 2 | Significant accounting policies
Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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), or earlier NYSE closing time that day. If the NYSE or other securities exchange modifies the 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 portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value; however, a Fund may adjust the market quotation price 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 quotation may be unreliable because the security is not traded frequently; |
| • | | Trading on the security ceased before the close of the trading market; |
| • | | Security is newly issued; |
| • | | Issuer-specific events occurred after the security ceased trading; or |
Notes to Financial Statements
| • | | 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. market. |
Both the latest transaction prices and adjustments are furnished by an independent pricing service subject to supervision by the Boards. The Funds value all other securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable at their fair value in good faith using procedures (“Procedures”) approved by the Boards. A Fund may fair value small-cap securities, for example, that are thinly traded or illiquid. Fair value is that amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. Fair value requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available from 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. Fair value pricing methods, Procedures and pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the Boards. Pursuant to the Procedures, the Boards have delegated the day-to-day responsibility for applying and administering the Procedures to a valuation committee comprised of certain officers of the Trusts and other employees of the Manager (“Valuation Committee”). The composition of this Valuation Committee may change from time to time.
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. Fair value pricing may deter shareholders from trading the Fund 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 pricing service and independent quoted prices are |
| | unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures. |
| • | | Foreign 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 close of the NYSE, closing market quotations may become unreliable. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The Fund may fair value a security if certain events occur between the time trading ends on a particular security and the Fund’s NAV calculation. The Fund may also fair value a particular security if the events are significant and make the closing price unreliable. If an issuer specific event has occurred that Eagle determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security 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 close of the NYSE. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on exchange rates provided by a pricing service. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time to time. Fund securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Fund. Because the NAV of a Fund shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund. |
| • | | Fixed income securities Government, corporate, asset-backed bonds, municipal bonds and convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, normally are valued on the basis of prices provided by independent pricing services. Prices provided by the 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 pricing service and independent quoted prices are unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures. |
| • | | Short-term securities The amortized cost method of security valuation is used by the Funds (as set forth in Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) |
Notes to Financial Statements
| | for short-term investments (investments that have a maturity date of 60 days or less). The amortized cost of an instrument is determined by valuing it at cost as of the time of purchase and thereafter accreting/amortizing any purchase discount/premium at a constant rate until maturity. Amortized cost approximates fair value. |
| • | | Futures and options Futures and options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available. |
| • | | Investment companies Investments in other investment companies are valued at their reported net asset value. |
Fair value measurement Each Fund utilizes a three level hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements. The three levels are defined below:
Level 1—Valuations based on 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value each Fund’s investments as of April 30, 2011.

Derivative instruments Authoritative guidance over derivatives requires qualitative disclosures about the objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, quantitative disclosures about the fair value of, and gains and losses on, derivative instruments, as well as disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements.
During the period ended April 30, 2011, the International Equity Fund engaged in limited derivative activity. The contract amounts in the Investment Portfolio are representative of typical volumes.
Fair values of derivative instruments for the International Equity Fund as of April 30, 2011 are as follows:
| | | | | | |
Type of derivative | | Balance sheet location | | Value | |
Assets | | | | | |
Forward foreign currency contracts | | Unrealized gain on forward currency contracts | | | $7,008 | |
Liabilities | | | | | |
Forward foreign currency contracts | | Unrealized loss on forward currency contracts | | | $151,561 | |
Notes to Financial Statements
The effect of derivative instruments on the International Equity Fund’s Statement of Operations for the period ended April 30, 2011 is as follows:
| | |
Type of derivative | | Forward foreign currency contracts |
Location of gain (loss) on derivatives recognized in income | | Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions/Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies |
Realized gain (loss) on derivatives recognized in income | | $(287,493) |
Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on derivatives recognized in income | | $11,989 |
During the period ended April 30, 2011, no other Fund engaged in derivative activity.
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. Each Fund does 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) from 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 contracts and gains and losses between the ex and payment dates on dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes. Net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency transactions also includes the effect of any Brazilian IOF tax.
Forward foreign currency 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 contracts are translated to U.S. dollars using forward
exchange rates provided by a pricing service as of the close of the NYSE each valuation day and the unrealized gain or loss is included in the 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 Statements 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.
Real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) 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 REIT investments. 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 fiscal year end and may differ from the estimated amounts.
Repurchase agreements Each Fund enters 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, each 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. At April 30, 2011, no Fund held a repurchase agreement.
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.
Expenses Each Fund is charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to it, while other expenses are allocated proportionately among the Eagle Family of Funds based upon methods approved by the Boards. 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. Other expenses of each Fund are allocated to each class of shares based upon their relative percentage of net assets.
Notes to Financial Statements
Class allocations Each class of shares has equal rights to earnings and assets except that each class may bear different expense for administration, distribution and/or shareholder services. Income, expenses (other than 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 net assets.
Distribution of income and gains In each Fund except the Investment Grade Bond Fund and the Growth & Income Fund, distributions of net investment income are made 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 Fund, will be distributed to shareholders 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:

Offering and organizational costs Offering costs of $79,835 associated with the formation of the Investment Grade Bond Fund were accounted for as a deferred charge and are amortized on a straight-line basis over 12 months from the date of commencement of operations. For the period ended April 30, 2011, the Fund amortized to expense the remaining $26,827 of offering costs that had been deferred.
Other In the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However,
Notes to Financial Statements
based on experience, the risk of loss to each Fund is expected to be remote.

Notes to Financial Statements
A portion or all of a Fund’s fees and expenses waived and/or reimbursed by the Manager in prior fiscal years may be recoverable by Eagle prior to their expiration date. Eagle must recover from the same class of shares any previously waived and/or reimbursed fees and expenses within two years from the Fund’s fiscal year end during which the fees and expenses where originally waived and/or reimbursed. Previously waived and/or reimbursed fees and expenses are recovered by Eagle when expenses in the current fiscal year fall below the expense rate limitation then in effect. The following table shows the amounts that Eagle may be allowed to recover by class of shares and the date in which these amounts will expire.

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 allocated on a pro rata basis among each fund in the Eagle Family of Funds. The pro rata allocation is for each Fund for which the Trustee is elected to serve. 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 the Funds intend 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. Federal income tax regulations differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ significantly in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/ tax differences to reflect tax character; these adjustments have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. Financial reporting records are not adjusted for temporary differences.

NOTE 6 | Subsequent events The Manager has evaluated subsequent events through June 15, 2011, the date these financial statements were issued, and determined that no material events or transactions would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Understanding Your Ongoing Costs
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 cost (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, 2010, and held through April 30, 2011. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, 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.

(a) Expenses are calculated using each Funds’ annualized expense ratios for each class of shares, multiplied by the average account value for the period, then multiplying the result by the actual number of days in the period (181), and then dividing that result by the actual number of days in the fiscal year (365).
Understanding Your Ongoing Costs
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes | All mutual funds now follow guidelines to assist shareholders in comparing expenses between different funds. Per these guidelines, the table below shows each Fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment held from November 1, 2010 through April 30, 2011 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 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 their current 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.
Covered call options | Because a fund may write covered call options, a fund may be exposed to risk stemming from
changes in the value of the stock that the option is written against. While call option premiums may generate incremental portfolio income, they also can limit gains from market movements.
Credit | A fund could lose money if the issuer of a fixed-income security is unable to meet its financial obligations or goes bankrupt. Credit risk usually applies to most fixed-income securities, but generally is not a factor for U.S. government obligations.
Principal Risks
Derivatives | A fund may use derivatives such as futures contracts, forward foreign currency contracts and options on futures to adjust the risk/return characteristics of its investment portfolio. These practices, however, may present risks different from or in addition to the risks associated with investments in foreign currencies. There can be no assurance that any strategy used will succeed. If a fund’s portfolio manager incorrectly forecasts stock market values or currency exchange rates in utilizing a strategy for the fund, the fund could lose money.
Emerging markets | When investing in emerging markets, the risks mentioned below of investing in foreign securities are heightened. Emerging markets have unique risks that are greater than or in addition to investing in developed markets because emerging markets are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and other developed markets. There are also risks of: greater political uncertainties; an economy’s dependence on revenues from particular commodities or on international aid or development assistance; currency transfer restrictions; a limited number of potential buyers for such securities; and delays and disruptions in securities settlement procedures. In addition, there may be more volatile rates of return.
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.
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.
Principal Risks
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 is particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates because it may invest 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. Yields of debt securities will fluctuate over time.
Issuer and market | Issuer and market risk is the risk that the prices of, and the income generated by, securities held by the fund may decline in response to certain events, such as general economic and market conditions, regional or global economic instability, interest rate fluctuations, and those events directly involving the issuers.
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 activities | 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.
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. 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.
Other investment companies and ETFs | Investments in the securities of other investment companies and 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 or ETF, a fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company or ETF. As a result, fund shareholders indirectly bear the fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses paid by shareholders of the other investment company or ETF, in addition to the fees and expenses fund shareholders directly bear in connection with the fund’s own operations.
As a shareholder, the fund must rely on the investment company or ETF to achieve its investment objective. If the investment company or ETF 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 potentially may 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 at the most optimal time, adversely affecting the fund’s performance.
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.
Precious metal-related instruments | Precious metal-related instruments can fluctuate due to monetary and political developments such as economic cycles, the devaluation of currency, changes in inflation or expectations about inflation in various countries, interest rates, metal sales by governments or
Principal Risks
other entities, government regulation including the possibility that the U.S. government could restrict or prohibit the ownership of gold, and resource availability and demand. Changes in the political climate for major precious metal producers such as China, Australia, South Africa, Russia, the United States, Peru and Canada may have a direct impact on worldwide precious metal prices. Based on historical experience, during periods of economic or fiscal instability precious metal-related instruments may be subject to extreme price fluctuations, reflecting the high volatility of precious metal prices during such periods. In addition, the instability of precious metal prices may result in volatile earnings of precious metal-related companies, which may, in turn, adversely affect the financial condition of such companies.
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- and mid-cap companies | Investments in small- and mid-cap companies generally involve greater risks than
investing in large-capitalization companies. Small- and mid-cap companies often have narrower commercial markets and more limited managerial and financial resources than larger, more established companies. As a result, their performance can be more volatile and they face greater risk of business failure, which could increase the volatility of a fund’s portfolio. Generally, the smaller the company size, the greater these risks. Additionally, small- and mid-cap companies may have less market liquidity than large-cap companies.
Stock market | The value of a fund’s stock holdings may decline in price because of changes in prices of its holdings or a broad stock market decline. These fluctuations 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.
