Supplement to the Statement of Additional Information dated May 1, 2013
Page 22 of the Statement of Additional Information, the second paragraph has been amended to include the following text at the end of the paragraph.
The commissions paid during the fiscal years 2012 and 2011 were higher than prior years due to a number of factors. These factors included (i) the change in portfolio management, (ii) the investment objective and investment focus of the Fund was changed from that of the Republic of China (Taiwan) to the Greater China region resulting in a significant restructuring of the portfolio to meet the investment objective causing a larger than normal repositioning of the securities held, and (iii) during the period of restructuring, the markets were extremely volatile causing the management team to continually adjust the portfolio securities held to meet the objective. All of these factors taken in total resulted in higher than normal brokerage commissions being paid.
