There is no assurance that the Fund will track the performance of the S&P 500® Index perfectly. As with all mutual funds, the value of an investment in the Fund could decline, so you could lose money. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities and therefore exposes you to the general risks of investing in stock markets. Derivative transactions can create leverage and may be highly volatile. It is possible that a derivative transaction will result in a loss greater than the principal amount invested and the Fund may not be able to close out a derivative transaction at a favorable time or price.
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. The effect 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.
