Risk Disclosure

The performance data quoted represents past performance and the principal value and investment return will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown here. Please call 800.224.6312 or visit our website www.turnerinvestments.com for performance current to the most recent month end. Returns shown, unless otherwise indicated, are total returns, with dividends and income reinvested. Returns spanning more than one year are annualized. Fee waivers are in effect; if they had not been in effect performance would have been lower.

Past performance can vary over short periods. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Portfolios that invest in small and/or mid-size company stocks typically involve greater risk, particularly in the short term, than those investing in larger, more established companies.

Since it purchases equity securities, including common stocks, the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. Historically, the equity markets have moved in cycles, and the value of the Fund's securities may fluctuate drastically from day to day. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments, and the prices of these companies' securities may decline in response. These factors contribute to price volatility, which is the principal risk of investing in the Fund. In addition, common stocks represent a share of ownership in a company, and rank after bonds and preferred stock in their claim on the company's assets in the event of liquidation.

The Fund is also subject to taxable income and realized capital gains. Shareholder redemptions may force the Fund to sell securities at an inappropriate time, also resulting in realized gains.

The Fund may participate in initial public offerings ("IPOs"). Some successful IPOs may have a significant impact on the Fund's performance, especially if the Fund has lower asset levels. There is no guarantee that there will be successful IPOs, or that the Fund will have access to successful IPOs. In addition, as Fund assets grow, the positive impact of successful IPOs on Fund performance tends to decrease.

The Fund may buy and sell securities frequently as part of its investment strategy. This may result in higher transaction costs and additional tax liabilities.

The medium capitalization companies in which the Fund invests may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, these medium capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, medium capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies.
