"We are grateful to Iain for his significant contributions over his

distinguished career at Henderson," said Andrew Formica, Chief

closely with Iain for many years and we are confident that their

collaboration, combined with the team approach of the Fund, will

ensure a seamless transition for our clients."

Mr. Peak added, "I am excited to expand my role at Henderson with this

particular Fund and to continue to work with one of the industry's

leading fund management teams to deliver competitive, long-term

performance for our clients. The International Opportunities Fund

offers a differentiated strategy for investors who are looking to

diversify their portfolios and gain exposure to long-term growth

opportunities."

Mr. Peak, Director of International Equities, joined Henderson in

served as Fund Manager at Norwich Union Insurance Group, Global Equity

Insurance Group, and Director and Head of the Investment Department at

Touche Remnant & Co. before it was acquired by Henderson Global

Investors in 1992.

experience in the investment management industry and is responsible

for equity assets covering all regions. He is Henderson's resident

well as various hedge and institutional funds. McQuaker was recently

International and emerging markets investing involves certain risks

and increased volatility not associated with investing solely in the

US. These risks included currency fluctuations, economic or financial

instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information or

unfavorable political or legal developments. The Fund may invest in

securities issued by smaller companies which typically involves

greater risk than investing in larger companies. Also, the Fund may

invest in limited geographic areas and/or sectors which may result in

greater market volatility. In addition, the Fund may invest in

derivatives. Derivatives involve special risks different from, and

potentially greater than, the risks associated with investing directly

in securities and may result in greater losses.

One should consider the investment objectives, risks, fees and

expenses of any mutual fund carefully before investing. This and other

important information is available in the Fund's prospectus and

summary prospectus which are available at
