#### THE ALGER FUNDS

#### Alger Small Cap Growth Fund

#### (the "Fund")

#### Supplement dated May 20, 2026 to the

#### Prospectus, Summary Prospectus and

#### Statement of Additional Information of the Fund

#### dated March 1, 2026
Effective on or about the close of business on August 1, 2026, all of the issued and outstanding Class B shares of the Fund ("Class B Shares") will be converted into Class A shares of the Fund ("Class A Shares") with the same relative aggregate net asset value as the Class B Shares held immediately prior to the conversion. The Class A Shares currently have a lower total expense ratio and lower distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees payable under the Fund's 12b-1 plan than the Class B Shares. No sales load, fee, or other charge will be imposed on the conversion of the Class B Shares and, once converted, the Class A Shares will not be subject to the contingent deferred sales charge (if any) currently charged on the redemption of the Class B Shares. Please refer to the Fund's prospectus for Class A Shares for more information on the Class A Shares. The conversion is not expected to be a taxable event for federal income tax purposes and should not result in recognition of gain or loss by converting shareholders. Upon completion of the conversion, Class B Shares will no longer be offered.
