      Royce Global Value Fund

      Royce Heritage Fund

      "Good Smaller-Cap World Stock Funds Are Hard to Find," published on 5/31/11 by Morningstar Fund Spy, focuses on the challenges of identifying good investment opportunities in non-U.S. small-cap companies, but notes a handful of attractive mutual funds in this arena.

      The article, written by William Samuel Rocco, features Royce Global Value Fund as "One Promising No-Load World Stock Offering." Rocco says "This no-load fund has an excellent foundation. Royce & Associates has long been a leader in the field of small- and mid-cap investing." Whitney George and David Nadel co-manage the Fund.

      Under the heading of "Two No-Load Domestic Equity Funds With Broad Purviews and Ample Merit," Rocco cites Royce Heritage Fund. Chuck Royce is Lead Portfolio Manager for this Fund. James Harvey serves as Portfolio Manager, and Steven McBoyle and Chris Clark serve as Assistant Portfolio Managers.

      "This no-load small-blend fund…enjoys the benefits of its firm's considerable smaller-cap expertise and resources" says Rocco. "Royce employs an inherently sound strategy here, pursuing financially strong smaller caps that have seen their stock prices decline due to what he considers to be temporary problems."

      Important Disclosure Information

      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 Global Value Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in foreign companies which 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 Foreign Securities" in the prospectus). Therefore, the prices of the securities of foreign 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). In addition, as of 3/31/11 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.

      Royce Heritage Fund generally invests a significant portion of its assets in micro-cap, small-cap and 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). The Fund may invest up to 35% 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).
