The Sustainable Growth Opportunities Fund, which began operations on April 4, 2008, is a successor to the Citizens Emerging Growth Fund, which began operations on February 8, 1994. On March 29, 2012 the Sustainable Growth Opportunities Fund was renamed the Sustainable Mid Cap Opportunities Fund, the Fund's investment strategies changed, and a new portfolio management team began managing the Fund. In addition, the Fund adopted the Russell Midcap Index as its new primary benchmark and the S&P MidCap 400 Index as its new secondary benchmark. Performance and ratings prior to March 29, 2012 relate to the Fund's prior management and investment strategies.

  1. Performance of the Class A shares prior to their inception on April 4, 2008 is based on the performance of the Standard shares of the Citizens Emerging Growth Fund, which were offered without a sales charge, and reflects the current maximum sales charge. Performance of Class A shares from April 4, 2008 to June 29, 2012 has not been adjusted to reflect the lower maximum 12b-1 fee in effect prior to April 4, 2008 or the decrease in the maximum 12b-1 fee, effective June 30, 2012, from 0.30% to 0.25%. If it had, those returns would be higher.
  2. Performance of the Class I shares from November 1, 1999 to their inception on April 4, 2008 is based on the performance of the Institutional shares of the predecessor. Performance prior to November 1, 1999 is based on the performance of the Standard shares of the predecessor. Only eligible investors may purchase Class I shares, as described in the prospectus.
  3. Expense ratio before custodian credits and reimbursements. Source: prospectus dated March 30, 2013.
  4. Total annual turnover quoted from the November 30, 2012 annual report.
