The performance data quoted herein represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Market volatility can dramatically

Please see the prospectus for more information.
† The annual expense ratio is based on expenses incurred by the fund, as stated in the most recent prospectus. For the Global Income Builder Funds had fees not been
waived and/or expenses reimbursed in the past, returns would have been lower.
There are risks associated with investing in funds that invest in securities of foreign countries, such as erratic market conditions, economic and political instability and fluctuations
in currency exchange rates.
Investment in gold and gold related investments present certain risks, and returns on gold related investments have traditionally been more volatile than investments in broader
equity or debt markets.
Global Income Builder Fund: Investments in bonds are subject to interest-rate risk and can lose principal value when interest rates rise. Bonds are also subject to credit risk, in which
the bond issuer may fail to pay interest and principal in a timely manner, or that negative perception of the issuer’s ability to make such payments may cause the price of that bond
to decline.
Global Income Builder Fund: High yield securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”) are generally considered speculative because they may be subject to greater price volatility
and present greater risks than high rated fixed income securities.
High yield securities are rated lower than investment grade securities because there is a greater possibility that
the issuer may be unable to make interest and principal payments on those securities.
Global Income Builder Fund: Bank loans are often less liquid than other types of debt instruments. There is no assurance that the liquidation of any collateral from a secured bank
loan would satisfy the borrower’s obligation, or that such collateral could be liquidated.
Global Income Builder Fund: Income generation is not guaranteed. If dividend paying stocks in the Fund’s portfolio stop paying or reduce dividends, the fund’s ability to generate
income will be adversely affected.
The principal risk of investing in value stocks is that the price of the security may not approach its anticipated value or may decline in value.
All investments involve the risk of loss.
