Annual expense ratio for the Retail Shares as of December 31,
2020 was 1.56% (comprised of operating expenses of 1.31% and
interest expense of 0.25%). The performance data quoted represents
past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future
results. The investment return and principal value of an investment
will fluctuate; an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth
more or less than their original cost. The Adviser reimburses
certain Baron Fund expenses pursuant to a contract expiring on
August 29, 2032, unless renewed for another 11-year term and the
Fund's transfer agency expenses may be reduced by expense offsets
from an unaffiliated transfer agent, without which performance
would have been lower. Current performance may be lower or higher
than the performance data quoted. For performance information
current to the most recent month end, visit www.BaronFunds.com or
call 1-800-99BARON.
Performance for Baron Partners Fund reflects the actual
fees and expenses that were charged when the Fund was a
partnership. The predecessor partnership charged a 20% performance
fee after reaching a certain performance benchmark. If the annual
returns for the Fund did not reflect the performance fees the
returns would be higher. The Fund’s shareholders will not be
charged a performance fee. The predecessor partnership’s
performance is only for periods before the Fund’s registration
statement was effective, which was April 30, 2003. During those
periods, the predecessor partnership was not registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 and was not subject to its
requirements or the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
relating to registered investment companies, which, if it were,
might have adversely affected its performance.
Performance for the Institutional Shares prior to 5/29/2009 is
based on the performance of the Retail Shares, which have a
distribution fee. The Institutional Shares do not have a
distribution fee. If the annual returns for the Institutional
Shares prior to 5/29/2009 did not reflect this fee, the returns
would be higher.
Risks: All investments are subject to risk and may lose
value. Baron Partners Fund is non-diversified which means,
in addition to increased volatility of the Fund’s returns, it will
likely have a greater percentage of its assets in a single issuer
or a small number of issuers, including in a particular industry
than a diversified fund. Single issuer risk is the possibility that
factors specific to an issuer to which the Fund is exposed will
affect the market prices of the issuer’s securities and therefore
the net asset value of the Fund. As of the date of the latest
prospectus supplement, about 40% of the Fund’s assets are invested
in Tesla stock. Therefore, the Fund is exposed to the risk that
were Tesla stock to lose significant value, which could happen
rapidly, the Fund’s performance would be adversely affected.
Specific risks associated with leverage include increased
volatility of the Fund’s returns and exposure of the Fund to
greater risk of loss in any given period.
