Objective and Strategy
Royce SMid-Cap Select Fund is designed for qualified investors. Seeks long-term growth of capital by investing in both long and short positions in equity securities. The long portion of the Fund’s portfolio is invested primarily in a limited number (generally less than 100) of equity securities issued by mid-cap companies that Royce believes are trading below its estimate of their current worth. We believe investors in the Fund should have a long-term investment horizon of at least three years.

Important Performance and Expense Information
All performance information reflects past performance, is presented on a total return basis and reflects the reinvestment of distributions. 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 365 days of purchase may be subject to a 2% redemption fee payable to the Fund. Current performance may be higher or lower than performance quoted.
Operating expenses for Royce SMid-Cap Select fund reflect the Fund's total annual operating expenses as of the most current prospectus and includes the Fund's management fee based on 12.5% of the Fund's pre-fee, high-watermark total return of 5% in 2007. Royce & Associates has contractually agreed to absorb all other operating expenses of the Fund, other than dividend expense relating to any short selling activity of the Fund and acquired fund fees and expenses, when applicable.

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 a limited number of 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 (see "Primary Risks for Fund Investors" in the prospectus). The Fund invests primarily in mid-cap stocks which may involve considerably more risk than investing in larger-cap stocks (see "Primary Risks for Fund Investors" in the prospectus). The Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in foreign securities that may involve political, economic, currency and other risks not encountered in U.S. investments (see "Investing in International Securities" in the prospectus). The Russell 2500 is an unmanaged, capitalization-weighted index of the 2,500 smallest publicly traded U.S. companies in the Russell 3000 index. Distributor: Royce Fund Services, Inc.
