1 The Morningstar Style Box reveals the Fund’s investment strategy. For equity unds, the vertical axis shows the market capitalization othe stocks owned and the horizontal axis shows investment style (value, blend or growth).2 On 12/19/08, through a reorganization, the Fund acquired all o the assets o the Robeco Boston Partners Large Cap Value Fund(the predecessor und). The predecessor und oered its Investor share class, inception date 1/16/97, in exchange or Class A shares.Class A shares were rst oered on 12/22/08, the returns prior to this date are those o the predecessor und’s Investor share classthat have been recalculated to apply the gross ees and expenses o the Fund’s Class A shares. For some periods, the Fund’sperormance may have been infuenced by investments in unusually hot industries, IPOs or other actors. Similar opportunities may ormay nor be available in the uture.3 The Russell 1000 Value Index measures the perormance o those companies within the Russell 1000 index with higher price-to-bookratios and higher orecasted growth values. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
