The Manager has contractually agreed to reduce and/or reimburse the A Class, C Class, Y Class, Institutional Class and Investor Class of the Fund for Other Expenses through April 30, 2014, to the extent that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the Fund exceed 1.39%, 2.14%, 0.99%, 0.89% and 1.27% for the A Class, C Class, Y Class, Institutional Class and Investor Class, respectively (excluding taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and other extraordinary expenses such as litigation). The contractual expense arrangement can be changed by approval of a majority of the Fund’s Board of Trustees. The Manager can be reimbursed by the Fund for any contractual or voluntary fee reductions or expense reimbursements if reimbursement to the Manager (a) occurs within three years after the Manager’s own reduction or reimbursement and (b) does not cause the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses of a class to exceed the
percentage limit contractually agreed.

Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 18% of the average value of its portfolio.

Summary Prospectus | March 28, 2013

Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in equity securities of large-capitalization growth companies. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowing for investment purposes) in equity securities of large market capitalization companies at the time of purchase.
The Fund considers large market capitalization companies to be companies that have market capitalizations within the market capitalizations of the companies in the Russell 1000® Index at the time of investment. The Russell 1000 Index measures the performance of approximately 1,000 of the largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization. As of December 31, 2012, the market capitalizations of the companies in the Russell 1000 Index ranged from $0.3 billion to $498 billion.
In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund maintains a diversified portfolio of equity securities of companies that the Fund’s sub-advisor, Holland Capital Management LLC, regards as high quality companies based on earnings growth faster than the general market, reasonable valuations, strong financial condition, strong management and superior industry positions. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stock, U.S. dollar denominated foreign stock traded on U.S. exchanges, real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and American Depositary Receipts
(“ADRs”). The Fund invests primarily in U.S. companies. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities of foreign issuers that exhibit the growth characteristics mentioned above.
The Fund may also invest cash balances in other investment companies including money market funds and may purchase and sell futures contracts to gain market exposure on cash balances or reduce market exposure in anticipation of liquidity needs.
Principal Risks
There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective and you could lose part or all of your investment in the Fund. The Fund is not designed for investors who need an assured level of current income and is intended to be a long-term investment. The Fund is not a complete investment program and may not be appropriate for all investors. Investors should carefully consider their own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Equity Investments Risk
Equity securities generally are subject to market risk. The Fund’s investments in equity securities may include common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stocks, U.S. dollar-denominated foreign stocks traded on U.S. exchanges, REITs and ADRs. Investing in such securities may expose the Fund to additional risks.
Common stock generally is subordinate to preferred stock upon the liquidation or bankruptcy of the issuing company. Preferred stocks and convertible securities are sensitive to movements in interest rates. In addition, convertible securities are subject to the risk that the credit standing of the issuer may have an effect on the convertible securities’ investment value. Investments in REITs are subject to the risks associated with investing in the real estate industry such as adverse developments affecting the real estate industry and real property values. Investments in ADRs are subject to certain of the risks associated
with investing directly in foreign securities.
Foreign Exposure Risk
The Fund may invest in securities issued by foreign companies through ADRs and U.S. dollar-denominated foreign stocks trading on U.S. exchanges. These securities are subject to many of the risks inherent in investing in foreign securities, including, but not limited to, currency fluctuations and political and financial instability in the home country of a particular ADR or foreign stock. Non-U.S. investments carry potential risks not associated with U.S. investments. Such risks include, but are not limited to: (1) currency exchange rate fluctuations, (2) political and financial instability, (3) less liquidity and greater
volatility, (4) lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, (5) increased price volatility, and (6) less government regulation and supervision of foreign stock exchanges, brokers and listed companies.
Futures Contracts Risk
Futures contracts are a type of derivative investment. A derivative refers to any financial instrument whose value is derived, at least in part, from the price of another security or a specified index, asset or rate. The use of derivatives presents risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in traditional securities. Gains or losses in a derivative may be magnified and may be much greater than the derivatives original cost.
There may be an imperfect correlation between the changes in market value of the securities or other underlying assets held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts. There may not be a liquid secondary market for the futures contract. When the Fund purchases or sells a futures contract, it is subject to daily variation margin calls that could be substantial in the event of adverse price movements. If the Fund has insufficient cash to meet daily variation margin requirements, it might need to sell securities at a time when such sales are disadvantageous.
Growth Companies Risk
Growth companies are expected to increase their earnings at a certain rate. When these expectations are not met, the prices of these stocks may go down, even if earnings showed an absolute increase. Growth company stocks may lack the dividend yield that can cushion stock prices in market downturns. Different investment styles tend to shift in and out of favor, depending on market conditions and investor sentiment. The Fund’s growth style could cause the Fund to underperform funds that use a value or non-growth approach to investing or have a broader investment style.
Investment Risk
An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. When you sell your shares of the Fund, they could be worth less than what you paid for them. Therefore, you may lose money by investing in the Fund.
Issuer Risk
The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons which directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services, as well as the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of its assets.
Large Capitalization Companies Risk
The securities of large market capitalization companies may underperform other segments of the market because such companies may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and may be unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.

Summary Prospectus | March 28, 2013
|
Market Events Risk
Turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and fixed-income markets may negatively affect many issuers worldwide which could adversely affect the Fund.
Market Risk
Market risks, including political, regulatory, market and economic developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market, can affect the value of the Fund’s shares. The Fund’s equity investments are subject to stock market risk, which involves the possibility that the value of the Fund’s investments in stocks will decline due to drops in the stock market. From time to time, certain investments held by the Fund may have limited marketability and may be difficult to sell at favorable times or prices. If the Fund is forced to sell such holdings to meet redemption
requests or other cash needs, the Fund may have to sell them at a loss.
Other Investment Companies Risk
The Fund may invest in shares of other registered investment companies, including money market funds. To the extent that the Fund invests in shares of other registered investment companies, you will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in addition to the Fund’s direct fees and expenses and will be subject to the risks associated with investments in those funds.
Securities Selection Risk
Securities selected by the sub-advisor or the Manager for the Fund may not perform to expectations. This could result in the Fund’s underperformance compared to other funds with similar investment objectives.
Fund Performance
The bar chart and table below provide an indication of risk by showing how the Fund’s performance has varied from year to year. The table shows how the Fund’s performance compares to the Russell 1000® Growth Index, a broad measure of market performance.
The Investor Class, A Class and Institutional Class shares of the Fund have adopted the performance history and financial statements of the Investor Shares, A Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively, of the Fund’s predecessor. The performance of the Fund’s Investor Class shown in the chart and table below represents the returns achieved by the Investor Shares of the Fund’s predecessor from December 31, 2002 to March 23, 2012, and the performance of the Investor Class shares from March 23, 2012 through December 31, 2012. The table also shows the performance of the A Class, Institutional Class, C Class and Y
Class shares of the Fund. The performance shown for the A Class and Institutional Class shares of the Fund represents: (1) the returns achieved by the Investor Shares of the Fund’s predecessor from December 31, 2002 to February 1, 2010 and March 1, 2010, the inception dates of the predecessor Fund’s A Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively; (2) the performance of the predecessor Fund’s A Shares and Institutional Shares from inception to March 23, 2012; and (3) the performance of the Fund’s A Class and Institutional Class shares from March 23, 2012 through December 31, 2012. Returns shown for the Fund’s C Class and Y Class shares represent the returns achieved by the Investor Shares of the predecessor Fund from December 31, 2002 to March 23, 2012 and the performance of the C Class and Y Class shares respectively, from March 23, 2012 through December 31, 2012. In each case, the newer share classes would have had similar annual returns to the predecessor
Fund’s Investor Shares, A Shares and Institutional Shares because the shares of each class represent investments in the same portfolio securities. However, because the Investor Shares had lower expenses than the Fund’s A Class and C Class now have, its performance was better than the A Class and C Class would have realized had the A Class and C Class shares been in existence since December 31, 2002. Since the Investor Shares had higher expenses than the Fund’s Institutional Class and Y Class now have, its performance was lower than the Institutional Class and Y Class would have realized in the same period. The performance of the Fund and the Fund’s predecessor shown in the bar chart below do not reflect sales charges. If sales charges were reflected, returns would be lower. You may obtain updated performance information on the Fund’s website at
www.americanbeaconfunds.com
. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication
of how the Fund will perform in the future.
