Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed may be worth more or less than the original cost.

As identified in the current Fund prospectus, the Class A, B, C and R shares gross expense ratios for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 were 2.08%, 2.83%, 2.83% and 2.33%, 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 Munder Internet Fund during the 1996 & 1998 calendar years. The Advisor also made a voluntary capital contribution to the Fund in the 2005 calendar year.  In addition, the Fund's transfer agent limited certain expenses of Class A, B and C shares of the Fund during the 2002-2004 calendar years and the 2004 calendar year for Class R shares. Total returns would have been lower if expenses ha not been limited expenses and had a capital contribution not been made during those periods.

 

Class A Shares have a maximum sales charge of 5.5% on Equity Funds, including International Funds, 4% on Income Funds, and 2.5% on the Index 500 Fund.
Class B Shares of all Funds except the Index 500 Fund have a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) on redemptions made within six years of purchase as follows: Year 1 = 5.0%, Year 2 = 4.0%, Year 3 = 3.0%, Year 4 = 3.0%, Year 5 = 2.0%, Year 6 = 1.0%. The Index 500 Fund has a CDSC on redemption made within six years of purchase as follows: Year 1 = 3.0%, Year 2 = 2.50%, Year 3 = 2.0%, Year 4 = 1.5%, Year 5 = 1.0%, Year 6 = 0.5%.
Class C Shares have a 1.0% Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) on redemptions made within one year of purchase.

Class R Shares are not subject to sales charges. This class of shares is only available for purchase by limited types of investors as outlined in the Fund's prospectus. Different sales charges affect performance.

RISKS

The Fund concentrates its investments in technology and Internet-related securities, which tend to be relatively volatile. It is therefore subject to higher market risk and price volatility than funds with more broadly diversified investments. The Fund may invest in smaller and medium-sized company stocks, which 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. Performance and after-tax returns can be significantly impacted by the Fund's investments in Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), which may involve short-term trading. We cannot ensure that the Fund will obtain IPOs.

 

The portfolio holding information provided should not be considered as a recommendation to purchase or sell a particular security. There is no assurance that the securities mentioned remain in the Fund's portfolio or that securities sold have not been repurchased.

 

The purchase and sale information provided should not be considered as a recommendation to purchase or sell a particular security and there is no assurance that the securities purchased remain in the Fund's portfolio or that securities sold have not been repurchased. Additionally, the securities purchased may not represent the Fund's entire portfolio and in the aggregate may represent a small percentage of the Fund's portfolio. The percentage data following the name of each security purchased indicates the percentage of total portfolio holdings this issue represents as of the date indicated.

 

*Total net asset figures do not reflect adjustments, if any, made for financial reporting purposes. Percentages shown for Asset Allocation, Top Ten Holdings and Industry Diversification represent the breakdown of investments and are not based on net assets.

Quarterly Commentary as of September 30, 2008
previous commentary
The Fund was down sharply for the quarter, along with the overall stock market, in reaction to concerns over the health of both the financial services industry and the economy in general. In relative terms, the Fund lagged its Morgan Stanley Internet benchmark. The primary reason for the underperformance was an underweight in some of the most heavily weighted and strong performing companies in the Fund's benchmark.

The relative performance of the Fund benefitted from an overweight in the software sector, largely due to overweighted positions in McAfee, Inc. (1.9% of the Fund) and Symantec Corp. (2.2%). These stocks have business models with high levels of recurring revenue that should hold up well in a tough economic environment. The largest single contributor to the Fund's relative performance was Napster, Inc. (0.9%), which announced that it was being acquired by Best Buy Co., Inc.

The largest detractor from relative performance was the lack of a position in Blue Nile, Inc., an online retailer of high-quality diamonds and fine jewelry. We do not own this stock due to our concerns about reduced consumer spending, particularly for diamond jewelry. An overweighted position in Research in Motion, Ltd. (2.1%) also had a negative impact on the Fund's relative performance. The company's stock price suffered from the reporting of disappointing results. We believe in the long-term fundamentals of the company and continue to hold the stock in the Fund.

This was a difficult quarter for the Fund, as well as the market in general. The Fund has historically had strong relative returns in strong stock market environments and weak relative returns in poor markets. This quarter was in line with that historical pattern. The Internet discipline seeks long-term capital appreciation through investments in the stocks of companies that we believe are positioned to benefit from the growth of the Internet and technology. We anticipate that the Internet and technology segments of the global economy will outgrow the broader economy, providing attractive investment opportunities, even in a difficult economic environment, and we remain confident in the long-term fundamentals of the companies owned in the Fund.
