You should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges
and expenses of the Forward Funds carefully before investing.
A prospectus with this and other information about the Funds

Past performance cannot be used to predict future returns. The
investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate,
so an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more
or less than their original cost. To obtain the most current
performance information, which may be lower or higher than the
performance data quoted, go to www.forwardfunds.com.
Small company stocks are generally riskier than large company stocks
due to greater volatility and less liquidity.
Foreign securities will involve additional risks including
social and
political instability, liquidity, greater volatility and less
regulation.
Forward Funds are distributed by ALPS Distributors, Inc.
