*Performance for the Growth Opportunities Fund reflects the Fund’s receipt in August, September and December 2009 of proceeds from litigation settlements and a receivable booked in December 2009 for amounts attributable to an SEC administrative proceeding. The Fund’s performance that includes those periods was higher than it would have been absent receipt of the proceeds from the litigation settlements and the booking of the receivable from the administrative proceeding.

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.

The recent growth rate in the stock market has helped produce short-term returns for some asset classes that are not typical and may not continue in the future. Because of ongoing market volatility, Fund performance may be subject to substantial short-term changes.

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, 2009 were 2.62%, 3.38%, 3.37% and 2.72%, respectively. The Fund publishes Semi-Annual and Annual Reports each February and August, which contain updated expense ratio information. In periods of market volatility, Fund assets may decline significantly, causing a Fund’s gross expense ratio to become higher than the gross expense ratio shown in the current prospectus.

The Advisor limited certain expenses of Class A, B, C and R 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. Total returns would have been lower if expenses had 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 (excluding the Index 500 Fund), 2.5% on the Index 500 Fund, 4% on the Bond Fund, and 2% on the Tax-Free Short & Intermediate Bond 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%. Class B Shares of the Index 500 Fund have a CDSC on redemptions 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 of all Funds 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. Class R Shares are only available for purchase by limited types of investors, as outlined in the Fund’s prospectus.

Different sales charges affect performance and yields.

An investor should consider the Fund's investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses carefully before sending money.

RISKS 

The Fund concentrates its investments in 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 tends to invest in smaller company stocks, which are more volatile and less liquid than larger, more established company securities. The 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, however, 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.

Growth Opportunities(Formerly known as Internet)
Quarterly Commentary as of June 30, 2010
previous commentary Print or Download
The stock market, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, was fairly volatile during the second quarter of 2010. After reaching a high on April 23, the S&P 500® Index declined sharply, posting a double-digit negative return for the quarter. While the Munder Growth Opportunities Fund also posted a negative return for the second quarter, it outperformed its S&P 500® benchmark.

Strong stock selection in the technology sector was the major contributor to the Fund’s relative strength during the quarter. In terms of individual holdings, stocks that had the largest positive impact on the Fund’s relative performance included Baidu, Inc. (4.5% of the Fund) and Akamai Technologies Inc (2 1%) in the Technologies, Inc. 2.1%) Internet software & services segment of the Fund, and Apple, Inc. (5.7%) in the computers & peripherals segment. These stocks had strong performance and were overweighted in the Fund. Baidu benefited from strong demand for its search product in China and the withdrawal of Google, Inc (3.9% of the Fund) from that market. Akamai reported strong operating results due to growing demand for their services related to online video and e-commerce. Apple’s stock saw strength due to the better than expected launches of the iPad and iPhone 4. We remain highly confident that each of these companies should continue to benefit from secular growth drivers in their respective markets. In contrast to those stocks, positions in Monster Worldwide, Inc., (2.7%) and eBay, Inc. (2.2%) in the Fund’s Internet software & services segment and pricline.com, Inc. (2.1%) in the Internet & catalog retail segment, were the largest detractors from relative performance during the quarter. These stocks were also overweighted in the Fund. Monster’s stock was weak as U.S. employment gains were lower than expected, which could pressure Monster’s online job listings in the near-term. We believe the company is a leader in a growing market and should benefit when employment strengthens. In addition, the stock is attractively valued. Priceline was weak due to concerns about the company’s exposure to the European travel market. While demand may be tempered due to the sovereign debt issues in Europe, priceline is well-positioned to ride out a short-term slowdown.

We expect the global financial markets to remain volatile, given the uncertainty relating to the economic environment. Even with this expected volatility, we remain confident in the long-term fundamentals of the companies owned in the Fund.

 

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses must be considered carefully before investing.  The prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other important information about the Fund. To obtain a prospectus and summary prospectus, click here. Read the prospectus and summary prospectuses carefully before investing. RISKS: A significant amount of the Fund's assets is likely to be invested in the information technology sector.  In addition, the Fund concentrates its investments in Internet-related securities.  Investments in both of these areas tend to be relatively volatile.  The Fund is therefore subject to higher market risk and price volatility than funds with more broadly diversified investments.  The Fund tends to invest in smaller company stocks, which are more volatile and less liquid than larger, more established company securities.  The Fund also 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.

Fund holdings mentioned in the Quarterly Commentary are as of2.28.10 and the percentages shown are based on net assets as of that date. Fund holdings are subject to change and should not be considered purchase recommendations. There is no assurance that the securities mentioned remain in the Fund’s portfolio or that securities sold have not been repurchased.

The S&P 500® Index is a widely recognized capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of the large-capitalization sector of the U.S. stock market. You cannot invest directly in an index, securities in the Fund will not match those in an index, and performance of the Fund will differ. Although reinvestment of dividend and interest payments is assumed, no expenses are netted against an index’s returns.
