The Russell Midcap Index measures the performance of the mid-cap
segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes approximately 800 of
the smallest securities in the Russell 1000 Index.
Sector weightings are determined using the Global Industry Classification Standard ("GICS"). GICS was developed by, and is the exclusive property of, Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC ("S&P") and MSCI Inc. ("MSCI"). GICS is the trademark of S&P and MSCI.

The Fund may invest up to 25% of its net assets in foreign securities, which may involve political, economic, currency and other risks not encountered in U.S. investments. (Please see "Investing in Foreign Securities" in the prospectus.)
The Fund generally invests in securities of mid-cap companies, 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 12/31/11, the Fund held a limited number of small-cap and micro-cap stocks, which may involve considerably more risk than a less concentrated portfolio because a decline in the value of these stocks would cause the Fund's overall value to decline to a greater degree.
Gross operating expenses reflect the Fund's gross total annual
operating expenses for the Service Class, and include management fees, 12b-1
distribution and service fees, and other expenses. Net operating expenses reflect contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. 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 to the extent necessary to
maintain the Service Class's net annual operating expenses, other than acquired
fund fees and expenses, at or below 1.49% through April 30, 2013 and at or below 1.99% through April 30, 2021.
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.

Royce Mid-Cap Fund (RMM) seeks long-term growth of capital. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of mid-cap companies with market capitalizations from $2.5 billion to $15 billion that Royce believes are trading below its estimate of their current worth. The Fund generally seeks to invest in securities of companies that Royce believes have excellent business strengths, high internal rates of return and exhibit above-average prospects. The Fund seeks to accomplish its objectives by employing a disciplined value approach that looks at the financial and operating dynamics of a business in an attempt to identify companies whose market value differs from Royce’s assessment of its intrinsic/business or “current worth” and, identifying what Royce believes are opportunistic situations for such undervalued companies. Such opportunistic situations may include turnarounds, companies with interrupted earnings patterns, companies with unrecognized asset values, and companies with misplaced investor concerns or underappreciated potential.
