1 An expense limitation with respect to the Fund's Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses is imposed pursuant to a written agreement in effect through April 30, 2012, to limit the Fund's Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses to 1.40% for Class A shares. The effect, if any, of this limitation is reflected under the caption "Fee Waiver/Expense Limitation." "Net Expenses" reflect the effect of this expense limitation on Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses. This expense limitation will continue through April 30, 2012, at which time RS Investments will determine whether or not to renew or revise it.
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses are based on amounts incurred during the Fund's most recent fiscal year, expressed as a percentage of average net assets during the fiscal year. The decline in the Fund's average net assets over the past year or more due to market volatility and other factors will cause the Fund's expense ratios for the Fund's current fiscal year to be higher than the expense information presented, but not to exceed the expense limitation shown.
