The fund's investment adviser is waiving a portion of its management fees. Results shown reflect the waiver, without which the results would have been lower.

The conditions that produced the extraordinary performance shown may not continue to exist such that performance at those levels may not be repeated in the future.

The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in casinos, gaming manufacturers, pari-mutuel companies, and lottery support systems, as well as electronic/video game developers, manufacturers, and distributors. It is the only U.S. mutual fund to specialize in the gaming and casino industries. |
