The RS Large Cap Alpha Fund has been recognized by Lipper, as "the Best Large-Cap Core Fund over Five Years." The Award is based on the Fund's risk-adjusted performance for the five and December 31, 2010.
 
The Lipper Fund Awards winners are selected using the Lipper Leader rating for consistent returns for funds with at least 36 months of performance history as of the end of the evaluation year. Awards are presented for the highest Lipper Leader for Consistent Return within each eligible classification over 3, 5 or 10 years. Lipper ratings for Consistent Return reflect funds’ historical risk-adjusted returns, adjusted for volatility, relative to peers. The ratings are subject to change every month, and are based on an equal-weighted average of percentile ranks for the Consistent Return metric over 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods (if applicable). The awards incorporate risk-adjusted performance data as of the previous December 31. A high Lipper rating does not necessarily imply that a fund had the best total performance or that the fund achieved positive results for that period. Lipper Inc. is a major independent mutual fund tracking organization.
