PAST PERFORMANCE DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS.


The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.


Class A Shares have up to a 5.75% front-end sales charge and a 0.25% 12b-1 fee, with the exception of the Fixed Income Series, which has up to a 4.25% front-end sales charge and a 0.25% 12b-1 fee. Total returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions. Total returns may reflect a waiver of part of the Fund’s fees for certain periods since inception, without which returns would have been lower.

Returns incorporate the performance of a predecessor fund(s). Please consult the Fund’s prospectus for more detail. The difference between gross and net expense ratios reflects contractual expense waivers in effect through February 28, 2010, and July 20, 2011 for the Global Fixed Income and Global Small Cap Funds. Aberdeen Global Small Cap Fund: The Predecessor fund’s performance incorporates that of its common class shares from inception through 7/20/09.

1 The strategy used by portfolio manager involves securities transactions, such as shortselling, leverage, and investing in derivatives, which may cause the Fund to have greater risk and volatility. A short position will lose value as the securities price increases. Theoretically, the loss on a short sale can be unlimited. Leverage will also increase market exposure and magnify risk.

2 Investing 25% or more of the Fund’s net assets in a specific industry subjects the Fund to greater risk of loss and is considerably more volatile compared to investments that are diversified across a greater number of industries.

3 Foreign securities are more volatile, harder to price and less liquid than U.S. securities. These risks are enhanced in developing market countries.

4 The Fund may hold larger positions in fewer securities (are less diversified) than other similar funds. Less diversified funds have greater risk than more diversified funds.

5 Equity stocks of small-cap companies carry greater risk and more volatility than equity stocks of more established mid or large cap companies.

6 Foreign small and mid cap securities are generally more volatile, harder to price and less liquid than U.S. securities. Equity stocks of small and mid-cap companies carry greater risk, and more volatility than equity stocks of large-cap companies. Concentrating investments in China and Hong Kong subject the fund to more volatility and greater risk of loss than geographically diverse funds.

7 The Fund is subject to different levels and combinations of risk, based on its actual allocation among the various asset classes and underlying funds. The Fund will be affected by stock and bond market risks, among others. It invests a significant proportion of its assets in specialty asset classes, which may involve riskier types of securities or investments than those offered by other asset classes.

8 Fixed income securities are subject to certain risks including, but not limited to interest rate risk, credit risk, prepayment and call risk.
