      2. Objective and Strategy

        Royce Select Fund II 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 in a limited number of mid-, small- and micro-cap companies that possess excellent business strengths and/or prospects, high internal rates of return and low leverage.  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.

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.

    1. 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 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 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.
