Performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance for other classes will differ. Performance for the Cornerstone Large Growth, Select Large Value and Select SPARX Japan Funds reflects fee waivers in effect. In the absence of such waivers, total return would be reduced. The Select SPARX Japan and Select SPARX Japan Smaller Companies Funds may impose a redemption fee of 2% on shares held less than 60 days. Performance does not reflect the redemption fee. If it had, total return would be reduced.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.

The Cornerstone Growth, Cornerstone Growth Series II, Focus 30, Cornerstone Value, Select Large Value, Select SPARX Japan and Select SPARX Japan Smaller Companies Funds may invest in small and medium-capitalization companies, which tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies.  The Cornerstone Growth, Cornerstone Growth Series II, Cornerstone Value, Select SPARX Japan and Select SPARX Japan Smaller Companies Funds may also make investments in foreign securities, which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risk and differences in accounting methods.  The Total Return and Balanced Funds are non-diversified, meaning they may concentrate their assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund, making it more exposed to individual stock volatility than a diversified fund.

Lipper ratings for Preservation reflect funds’ historical loss avoidance relative to other funds within the same asset class, as of 12/31/09. Preservation ratings are relative, rather than absolute, measures, and funds named Lipper Leaders for Preservation may still experience losses periodically; those losses may be larger for equity and mixed equity funds than for fixed income funds. The Lipper ratings are subject to change every month and are based on an equal-weighted average of percentile ranks for the Preservation metrics over three-, five-, and ten-year periods. The highest 20% of funds in each peer group are named Lipper Leader or a score of 5, the next 20% receive a score of 4, the middle 20% are scored 3, the next 20% are scored 2, and the lowest 20% are scored 1. The Hennessy Total Return Fund, in Lipper’s Equity category, received a Lipper Leader designation for Preservation for the 3-year period (out of 9439 funds), the 5-year period (out of 7440 funds) and the 10-year period (out of 3857 funds). Lipper ratings are not intended to predict future results, and Lipper does not guarantee the accuracy of this information. More information is available at www.lipperweb.com.

Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ metric each month by subtracting the return on a 90-day U.S. Treasury Bill from the fund's load-adjusted return for the same period, and then adjusting this excess return for risk. The top 10% of funds in each 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 fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The Hennessy Focus 30 Fund was rated against 369 U.S.-domiciled mid-cap blend funds over the last three years and 303 U.S.-domiciled mid-cap blend funds over the last five years. With respect to these mid-cap blend funds, Hennessy Focus 30 Fund-Institutional Class received a Morningstar rating of 3 stars for the three-year period and 5 stars for the five-year period. Hennessy Focus 30 Fund-Original Class received a Morningstar rating of 3 stars for the three-year period and 4 stars for the five-year period. The fund does not yet have ten-year performance numbers.
