The Needham Aggressive Growth Fund inception date is 9/4/01.
**Performance for any periods prior to the inception date of Institutional Class Shares are based on the historical performance of the Retail Class Shares adjusted to assume the expenses associated with Institutional Class Shares.

The Needham Aggressive Growth Fund’s Gross Expense Ratio is 2.17% for the Retail Class and 1.90% for the Institutional Class. The Needham Aggressive Growth Fund’s Net Expense Ratio is 1.92% for the Retail Class and 1.24% for the Institutional Class. The Net Expense Ratio reflects a contractual agreement by the Fund’s investment adviser to waive its fee and/or reimburse the Fund through May 1, 2021 to the extent the Gross Expense Ratio exceeds 1.85% and 1.18% of the average daily net assets of Retail Class Shares and Institutional Class Shares (Expense Cap). The Expense Cap excludes taxes, interest, brokerage, dividends on short positions, fees and expenses of “acquired funds,” extraordinary items and shareholder redemption fees but includes the management fee.
