Fact Sheet Prospectus Shareholder Report Statement of Additional Information

Past performance is no guarantee or indication of future results. The rate of return will vary and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares, if redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance does not reflect the effect of sales charges, fees, or taxes. If such charges were included, performance would be lower. Return figures reflect any change in price per share, and assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions, if any.

Through at least February 29, 2009, Seligman has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or to reimburse the Fund’s expenses to the extent that the Fund’s “other expenses” (i.e., those expenses other than management fees, 12b-1 fees, interest on borrowings, and extraordinary expenses, including litigation expenses) exceed 0.85% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Other fee waiver/reimbursement arrangements were in effect prior to this arrangement. Absent such management fee waivers/expense reimbursements, the Fund’s returns would have been lower.

IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Performance data quoted herein represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee or indicate future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Total returns of the Fund as of the most recent month-end will be made available at Current Fund Returns by the seventh business day following that month-end.

Return figures reflect any change in price per share, and assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions, if any. Average annual total return figures for Class A shares are calculated without and with the effect of the initial maximum sales charge. The average annual total returns (with sales charges) for all periods presented for Class A shares reflect the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% that went into effect January 7, 2008. Effective June 4, 2007, there is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class C shares. The chart and tables do not reflect the performance of Class B, C, or R shares, which would differ due to different sales charges, fees and expenses. Return information on Class B, C, and R shares are available here.

A WORD ABOUT RISK

There are specific risks associated with global investing, such as currency fluctuations, foreign taxation, differences in financial reporting practices, and rapid changes in political and economic conditions. Because of the special risks involved with investing in securities of emerging market companies, an investment in the Fund should be considered speculative and not appropriate for individuals who require safety of principal or stable income from their investments.

There is no guarantee that the Fund’s investment goals/objectives will be met, and you could lose money.
