5Portfolio holdings and percentages listed are not current as of the report date, but were generally held by the Fund as of the end of the previous month ended approximately 30 days before the report date. Holdings, country, and sector weightings may have changed substantially since the date of this list. Holdings and sector weightings represent the percentage of the Fund’s net assets and country weightings represent the percentage of the Fund’s investments. References to specific securities and sectors are not recommendations to buy or sell the securities or sectors.
6Sector weightings for portfolios are determined using the Global Industry Classification Standard ("GICS"). GICS was developed by and is the exclusive property and service mark of MSCI Inc. ("MSCI") and Standard & Poor's ("S&P") and is licensed for use by Marsico Capital Management, LLC ("Marsico Capital"). Neither MSCI, S&P nor Marsico Capital or any third party involved in compiling GICS makes any express or implied warranties or representations with respect to such standard or classification (or the results from use thereof), and all such parties hereby expressly disclaim all warranties of originality, accuracy, completeness, merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose with respect to any of such standard or classification. MSCI, S&P, Marsico Capital and any of their affiliates or third parties involved in compiling GICS shall not have any liability for any direct, indirect, special, punitive, consequential or any other damages (including lost profits) even if notified of the possibility of such damages.
7The Overall Morningstar Rating™ for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating™ metrics. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of the funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star (each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages). ©Morningstar, Inc.

Recent performance may have been negative.
