The returns for the period prior to September 21, 2009, are those of Institutional Class shares of the Atlantic Whitehall Equity Income Fund (the "predecessor fund"), which are not offered by the fund. The predecessor fund was advised by Stein Roe Investment Counsel, Inc. The predecessor fund was reorganized into Class Y shares of AIM Disciplined Equity Fund on September 21, 2009. Class Y share returns will be different from the predecessor fund as they have different expenses.

Class Y shares have no sales charge; therefore, performance is at NAV. Class Y shares are closed to most investors. Please see the prospectus for more details.

Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Investment return and principal value will vary so that you may have a gain or a loss when you sell shares.

The Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) Statistics section shows the Sharpe, Standard Deviation, Alpha, Beta and R2 statistics for the item. Modern Portfolio Theory statistics - statistical calculations applied to an investment strategy that seeks to construct an optimal portfolio by considering the relationship between risk and return.
Sharpe ratio is a risk-adjusted measure calculated using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the better the fund's historical risk-adjusted performance.
Standard Deviation measures a fund's range of total returns and identifies the spread of a fund's short-term fluctuations. It is useful when comparing the volatility of funds with different objectives.
Alpha is a coefficient measuring the risk-adjusted performance, considering the risk due to the specific security, rather than the overall market. A positive alpha indicates that the manager has been successful at security selection and has produced a rate of return which is more than commensurate with the security's risk posture.
Beta coefficient is a measure of a security's volatility relative to the market. An index relevant to the security's stated investment category is used as the proxy for the market, and is considered to have a 1.00 Beta. Therefore, if a security has a Beta of 1.50, it has been historically 50% more volatile than the market for the period shown.
R-squared is the percentage of a fund's movements explained by movement in its benchmark index. Values of r-squared range from 0 to 1, where 0 indicates no correlation and 1 indicates perfect correlation.

Return to top

Credit risk is the risk of loss on an investment due to the deterioration of an issuer's financial health. Such a deterioration of financial health may result in a reduction of the credit rating of the issuer's securities and may lead to the issuer's inability to honor its contractual obligations, including making timely payment of interest and principal.

Foreign securities have additional risks including exchange rate changes, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of information, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards. Additionally, investing in a fund that invests in smaller companies involves risks not associated with investing in more established companies, such as business risk, stock price fluctuations and illiquidity.

Interest rate risk refers to the risk that bond prices generally fall as interest rate rise and vice versa.

Stocks fall into three broad market capitalization categories - large, medium, and small. Investing primarily in one category carries the risk that, due to current market conditions, that category may be out of favor with investors. Small and mid-sized companies may tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and more volatile than larger companies. Investments in small and mid-sized companies may involve special risks, including those associated with dependence on a small management group, little of no operating history, little or no track record of success, and limited product lines, market and financial resources. Also, there may be less publicly available information about the issuers of the securities or less market interest in such securities than in the case of larger companies, each of which can cause significant price volatility. The securities of small and mid-sized companies may be illiquid, restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volume than more widely held securities, which may make it difficult for fund to establish or close out a position in these securities at prevailing market prices.

The prices of and the income generated by securities held by the fund may decline in response to certain events, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the fund; general economic and market conditions; regional or global economic instability; and currency and interest rate fluctuations.

The prices of equity securities change in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions, and market liquidity.

The values of convertible securities in which the fund invests may be affected by market interest rates, the risk that the issuer may default on interest or principal payments, and the value of the underlying common stock into which these securities may be converted.

There is no guarantee that the investment techniques and rish analyses used by the fund's portfolio managers will produce the desired results.

Value stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. In addition, market performance tends to be cyclical and, during various cycles, value stocks may be out-of-favor with many investors and can continue to be undervalued for long periods of time and may not ever realize their full value.
