      David Nadel was a panelist on Legg Mason's "Where in the World: Global Opportunities in 2011 and Beyond" webcast, moderated by Consuelo Mack, on April 27. The panel also included speakers from Legg Mason affiliates Batterymarch, Permal & Associates, and Brandywine Global. Nadel is a Portfolio Manager and Director of International Research for Royce & Associates, LLC. He is the Portfolio Manager of a number of The Royce Funds, including Royce Global Value Fund.

      Nadel's comments touched on a variety of topics, including the three defining trends that are currently shaping Royce's international portfolio construction; the replacement of the U.S. consumer with the emerging markets consumer as the engine of the global economy, the ultra low interest rate environment in the developed world, and inflation. He also talked about the rise in commodity prices, and in silver in particular, as well as his outlook on Japan, and opportunities in U.S. tech companies.

      When Mack asked what one piece of advice he would offer to investors, Nadel replied "Go global…This is a mega-trend…It's not a flavor of the month, it's a flavor of the decade, or a flavor of the millennium."

      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 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. The Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Small Core Index is an unmanaged index of global small-cap stocks. Index returns include net reinvested dividends and/or interest income. The Russell Global Small Cap Index is an unmanaged, capitalization-weighted index of global small-cap stocks. Index returns include net reinvested dividends and/or interest income.
