Risk Disclosures - Investing in the stock market involves risks, including the potential loss of principal. Growth stocks may be more volatile than other stocks as their prices tend to be higher in relation to their companies’ earnings and may be more sensitive to market, political, and economic developments. A significant portion of assets may be invested in securities of companies in related sectors, and may be similarly affected by economic, political, or market events and conditions and may be more vulnerable to unfavorable sector developments. Income-producing securities may cut or fail to declare dividends due to market downturns or for other reasons. At times, cash may be a larger position in the portfolio and may underperform relative to equity securities.
Prior to April 1, 2011, the Fund followed a different investment objective and different strategies under the name “Alger Balanced Fund.”

Risk metrics are statistical measures designed to show the expected risk for a portfolio and are not a measure of performance. Risk Metrics are sourced from Morningstar, an independent source, and include the impact of cash.

30-Day SEC Yield is a standard calculation of yield introduced by the SEC in order to provide fairer comparison among funds. The SEC yield is calculated by dividing annualized net investment income per share during a 30-day period by the maximum offering price per share as of the close of that period. SEC yield reflects the rate at which the fund is earning income on its current portfolio of securities. Negative 30-Day SEC yield results when accrued expenses of the past 30 days exceed the income collected during the past 30 days.
Only periods greater than 12 months are annualized.

Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating ™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The Morningstar Rating may differ among share classes of a mutual fund as a result of different sales loads and/or expense structures. It may be based in part, on the performance of a predecessor fund. The Morningstar Rating does not include any adjustment for sales loads.The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.
