As with all mutual funds, the value of an investment in the Fund could decline, so you could lose money. International investing involves special risks, which include changes in currency rates, foreign taxation and differences in auditing standards and securities regulations, political uncertainty and greater volatility. These risks are even greater when investing in developing and emerging markets. The Fund is subject to greater impact from economic, financial, political, and other factors affecting China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, than a fund that invests more broadly. The Fund may invest in companies of any size. Investing in smaller companies can involve risks such as having less publicly available information, higher volatility, and less liquidity than in the case of larger companies.

1 An expense limitation with respect to the Fund's Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses is imposed pursuant to a written agreement to limit the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding expenses indirectly incurred by the Fund through investments in pooled investment vehicles, interest, taxes, investment-related expenses (e.g., brokerage commissions), and extraordinary expenses) for Class A shares to 1.75% and to limit the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses of each of the other classes of the Fund so that each of those classes benefits from a level of reimbursement (as expressed in basis points) that is the same as the level of reimbursement for Class A shares during the period. This expense limitation will continue through April 30, 2013, and cannot be terminated by RS Investments prior to that date.
