Performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The total gross annual operating expense ratio as of the most current prospectus for RS Investment Quality Bond Fund Class A, C, K, and Y shares are 0.99%, 1.79%, 1.44%, and 0.74%, respectively; for RS Low Duration Bond Fund Class A, C, K, and Y shares are 0.84%, 1.62%, 1.33%, and 0.61%, respectively; for RS High Yield Fund Class A, C, K, and Y shares are 1.12%, 1.88%, 1.52%, and 0.91%, respectively; for RS Tax-Exempt Fund Class A, C and Y shares are 0.91%, 1.69%, and 0.67%, respectively; for RS High Income Municipal Bond Fund Class A, C, and K shares are 0.92%, 1.72%, and 0.68%, respectively; for RS Floating Rate Fund Class A, C, K, and Y shares are 1.05%, 1.84%, 1.52%, and 0.86%, respectively; for RS Strategic Income Fund Class A, C, K, and Y shares are 1.16%, 1.97%, 1.60%, and 0.90%, respectively; and for RS Money Market Fund Class A, C, and K shares are 0.82%, 1.52%, and 1.32%, respectively. Performance results assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current and month-end performance information, which may be lower or higher than that cited, is available by contacting RS Investments at 800-766-3863 and is periodically updated on our web site.
Class A shares performance quoted "with maximum sales load" reflects the current maximum sales charge of 3.75% for RS Investment Quality Bond Fund, RS High Yield Fund, RS Tax-Exempt Fund, RS High Income Municipal Bond Fund, RS Strategic Income Fund, and 2.25% for RS Low Duration Bond Fund and RS Floating Rate Fund. Please read the prospectus carefully for more information on sales charges as they do not apply in all cases and if applied are reduced for larger purchases. Certain share classes are subject to lower maximum sales charges whether paid at the time of purchase or deferred. The Class B and Class C share performance quoted "with sales load" takes into account the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (up to 3% for Class B shares, up to 1% for Class C shares). There are no sales charges for Class K and Class Y shares. Performance results assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The performance quoted at NAV or "without sales load" does not reflect any sales charge. If a sales charge were included, the performance stated would be lower. Fees and expenses are factored into the net asset value of your shares and any performance numbers we release. Total return figures for certain Funds reflect expense limitations in effect during the periods shown; without such limitations, the performance shown would have been lower. The return figures shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
*RS Investments has contractually agreed 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) to 0.75% for Class A shares, 1.50% for Class C shares, and 1.15% for Class K shares. This expense limitation will continue through April 30, 2014 and cannot be terminated by RS Investments prior to that date without the action or consent of the Fund's Board of Trustees.
**Current yield data reflects updated yield information.
With respect to the RS Money Market Fund (Class A, C, K) additional subsidies may be included to maintain a minimum yield threshold.
There is no guarantee of the payment of any dividend or other distributions. As with all mutual funds, the value of an investment in the Fund could decline, so you could lose money.
An investment in a bond fund exposes you to the general risk of investing in debt markets. These risks include interest rate risk, credit risk and prepayment risk. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall, and when interest rates fall, bond prices generally rise. Currently, interest rates are at relatively low levels. Please keep in mind that in this kind of environment, the risk that bond prices may fall when interest rates rise is potentially greater. High yield bond investing includes special risks. Investments in lower rated and unrated debt securities are subject to a greater loss of principal and interest than investments in higher rated securities.
Money market funds are neither insured nor guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Although these funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these funds.
