Prospectus and Summary Prospectus Text Changes
 
The following replaces similar text under the heading “Principal Investment
Strategies”:  
The Fund invests in U.S. and foreign equity securities. The Fund seeks to
generate above average compounded returns by purchasing securities in
companies and industries where capital spending is declining, and seeks to avoid
companies, assets, and business models that can be easily replicated.
Companies, assets, and business models that cannot be easily replicated may
include those with differentiated offerings, a low-cost advantage, or those that
maintain an advantage over competitors in their same industry. The Fund
typically invests across a range of sectors, a mix of developed and emerging
markets stocks, and typically holds companies across the market capitalization
spectrum. The Fund will concentrate its investments (i.e. hold 25% or more of its
net assets) in securities of issuers in the precious metals and mining industry.
