As with all mutual funds, the value of an investment in the Fund could decline, so you could lose money. Investing in small- and mid-size companies can involve risks such as having less publicly available information, higher volatility, and less liquidity than in the case of larger companies. Investing in a more limited number of issuers and sectors can be subject to greater market fluctuation. Overweighting investments in certain sectors or industries increases the risk of loss due to general declines in the prices of stocks in those sectors or industries. Foreign securities are subject to political, regulatory, economic, and exchange-rate risks not present in domestic investments. The value of a debt security is affected by changes in interest rates and is subject to any credit risk of the issuer or guarantor of the security. Investments in companies in natural resources industries may involve risks including changes in commodities prices, changes in demand for various natural resources, changes in energy prices, and international political and economic developments.

1 An expense limitation with respect to the Fund's Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding expenses indirectly incurred by the Fund through investments in pooled investment vehicles, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses) is imposed pursuant to a written agreement with RS Investments which is in effect through April 30, 2012. The effect of this limitation is reflected under "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, as 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 or other factors will cause the Fund's expense ratios for the Fund's current fiscal year to be higher than the expense information presented.
