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 180 days of purchase may be subject to a 1% redemption fee payable to the Fund. Current performance may be higher or lower than performance quoted.
Gross operating expenses reflect the Fund's gross total annual operating expenses for the Service class including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees. Net operating expenses reflect contractual fee waivers and/or reimbursements. All expense information is reported as of the Fund's most current prospectus. Royce and Associates has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses, other than Acquired Fund fees and expenses, to the extent necessary to maintain the net annual operating expense ratio at or below 1.49% through December 31, 2008 and at or below 1.99% through December 31, 2017.

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 small- and micro-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 2000 is an unmanaged, capitalization-weighted index of domestic small-cap stocks. It measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest publicly traded U.S. companies in the Russell 3000 index. Distributor: Royce Fund Services, Inc.
