As identified in the current Fund prospectus, the Class A, B, C and R gross expense ratios for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 were 1.32%, 2.07%, 2.07% and 1.57%, respectively. The Fund publishes Semi-Annual and Annual Reports each February and August, which contain updated expense ratio information. The Advisor limited certain expenses of Class A, B and C shares of the Mid-Cap Core Growth Fund during the 2000-2001 calendar years. Total returns would have been lower if the Advisor had not limited expenses during those periods.

Quarterly Commentary as of 03/31/09 For roughly the first two months of the quarter and into early March, the S&P MidCap 400® Index declined nearly 25%, in sympathy with the broader U.S. stock market. Starting in early March, however, the market rebounded by more than 25% (although selling off slightly at the end of the month) and finished the quarter down 8.7%. While the Munder Mid-Cap Core Growth Fund was down in absolute terms, it outperformed its S&P MidCap 400® benchmark for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

RISKS Smaller and medium-sized company stocks are more volatile and less liquid than larger more established company securities. This Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in foreign securities, which involve additional risks due to currency fluctuations, economic and political conditions, and differences in financial reporting standards.
1A weighted median market cap is calculated by arranging companies in a portfolio, along with their weight (the percentage of market value that each company represents in the portfolio as a whole), from the highest to lowest capitalization. The weights are then summed until 50% of the portfolio's weighted market cap is reached. The purpose of the weighted median is to reduce the influence of outliers on the market cap calculation.
