The Fund's performance information assumes reinvestment of all dividends and includes all Fund expenses, but does not reflect the impact of taxes. Performance data quoted represent past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results, and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Both the return from and the principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that any investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Lipper ratings for Total Return reflect funds' historical total return performance relative to peers as of 11/30/11. The Lipper ratings are subject to change every month and are based on an equal-weighted average of percentile ranks for the Total Return metrics over three-, five-, and ten-year periods (if applicable). 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. Firsthand Technology Opportunities Fund in Lipper's Science and Technology Funds classification, received the following ratings for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods, respectively: Lipper Leader (148 funds), Lipper Leader (139 funds), and Lipper Leader (106 funds).
Lipper ratings for Consistent Return reflect funds' historical risk-adjusted returns, adjusted for volatility, relative to peers as of 11/30/11. The ratings
are subject to change every month and are based on an equal-weighted average of percentile ranks for the Consistent Return metric over three-, five-, and ten-year periods (if applicable).
