1 The Russell 2000® Value Index is an unmanaged market-capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of those companies in the Russell 2000® Index with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. (The Russell 2000® Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000® Index, which consists of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization.) Index results assume the reinvestment of dividends paid on the stocks constituting the index. You may not invest in the index, and, unlike the Fund, the index does not incur fees and expenses.
The Small Cap Value Composite includes all Small Cap Value accounts managed by RS Investments from July 12, 1995 through June 30, 2008. Prior to 5/1/03 performance results represent returns for a single account. Monthly composite returns are calculated by weighting each account's monthly return by its beginning value as a percent of the total composite's beginning market value. Quarterly and annual returns are calculated by linking the monthly and quarterly returns, respectively, through compound multiplication. Performance numbers above are after the deduction of fees.
