    2. Royce European Smaller-Companies Fund (RES) invests primarily in equity securities issued by companies domiciled in Europe with market capitalizations up to $5 billion. Royce invests the Fund’s assets in companies that it believes have excellent business strengths and/or prospects for growth, high internal rates of return, and low leverage, and that are trading significantly below its estimate of their current worth.

      Important Performance and Expense Information

      All performance information reflects past performance, is presented on a total return basis, reflects the reinvestment of distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when redeemed. Shares redeemed within 180 days of purchase may be subject to a 2% redemption fee payable to the Fund, which is not reflected in the performance shown above; if it were, performance would be lower. Current performance may be higher or lower than performance quoted.

      Gross operating expenses reflect gross total annual operating expenses and include management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, other expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses. Net operating expenses reflect contractual fee waivers and/or reimbursements exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses. All expense information is reported as of the Fund's most current prospectus. Royce & Associates has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse operating expenses, other than acquired fund fees and expenses, to the extent necessary to maintain the Fund's net annual operating expense ratio at or below 1.69% through April 30, 2011 and at or below 1.99% through April 30, 2020. Acquired fund fees and expenses reflect the estimated amount of the fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its investments in mutual funds, hedge funds, private equity funds and other investment companies.

  7. This material is not authorized for distribution unless preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing or sending money.

    The Fund invests primarily in companies that are domiciled, or whose securities trade, in Europe. Securities of international companies may be subject to different risks than investments in securities of U.S. companies, including adverse political, social, economic or other developments that are unique to a particular country or region (Please see “Investing in International Securities” in the prospectus). Therefore, the prices of the securities of international companies in particular countries or regions may, at times, move in a different direction than those of the securities of U.S. companies (Please see “Primary Risks for Fund Investors” in the prospectus). The Fund invests primarily in microcap, small-cap and/or mid-cap stocks, which may involve considerably more risk than investing in larger-cap stocks (Please see “Primary Risks for Fund Investors” in the prospectus). In addition, as of 6/30/10 the Fund held a limited number of stocks, which may involve considerably more risk than a less concentrated portfolio because a decline in the value of any one of these stocks would cause the Fund’s overall value to decline to a greater degree. The Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe Small Core Index is an unmanaged index of European small-cap stocks. Index returns include net reinvested dividends and/or interest income.
