The MSCI World Index gained 1.01% during the three months to end 2014 with a gain of 4.94%.

Abercrombie & Fitch Co. 1.39 2.32 0.69 1.44 0.58 Performance highlights - The fund’s Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) lagged the index for the fourth quarter. (Please see the investment results table on page 2 for fund and index performance.) - From a sector perspective, holdings in the financials and telecommunication services sectors added to relative results during the quarter. Within the financials sector, several insurance companies provided solid gains. To a lesser degree, the portfolio’s underweight allocation to energy also aided relative performance. - Stock selection in the consumer discretionary, industrials and information technology sectors had the largest negative effect on relative return during the quarter. - From a geographic perspective, holdings within the US detracted from relative performance and accounted for the entire performance shortfall versus the index. Conversely, the portfolio benefited from strong stock selection in several markets, including the UK, Taiwan, Canada and Spain. Contributors to performance - Celgene Corp. outperformed due to general strength in the biotechnology group as well as a good earnings report and growing belief that patent issues affecting a key drug will be settled. - Also in the health care group, Resmed Inc., a specialist in sleep related disorders, reported solid earnings and launched a new product cycle that has generated optimism about nearterm earnings. - From a geographic perspective, strong stock selection in the UK contributed to relative performance. Detractors from performance - Pharmaceutical firm Sanofi detracted from the fund’s relative performance, as the company reported weakening US sales of Lantus, the company’s insulin drug for the treatment of diabetes. Additionally, in late October, the company ousted its CEO in a move that surprised many investors and precipitated a sharp selloff. - Another top detractor, Halliburton Co., was significantly affected by the collapse in oil prices, as energy was the worst performing index sector during the quarter. Positioning and outlook - There were no significant geographic shifts in the portfolio; however, several sector allocations were adjusted. Specifically, the fund’s exposure to consumer discretionary, information technology and energy stocks increased slightly, funded by reductions in health care, materials and utilities. - We remain focused on companies that provide an attractive return on their invested capital, maintain a long-term perspective and trade at a good valuation. Though markets are likely to remain volatile, these companies should be well-positioned to navigate an evolving economic backdrop.

Performance shown at NAV does not include applicable CDSC or front-end sales charges, which would have reduced the performance. Class Y shares have no sales charge; therefore, performance is at NAV.
