Net and gross expense ratios are based on the fund's most recent fiscal year end.  The net expense ratio reflects an agreement by the fund's advisor to cap fund expenses, not including the expenses of any other investment companies in which the fund invests ("acquired fund fees and expenses"), at a certain level as set forth in the fund's prospectus.  The advisor's contractual expense cap agreement will be in effect at least through the date listed in the table below, and may not be terminated before then without the approval of the fund's board of directors.  However, because the fund's net expense ratio includes acquired fund fees and expenses, the fund's net expense ratio at any point in time may differ from the ratio presented.

Performance shown is historical and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher. Because share price, principal value, and return will vary, you may have a gain or loss when you sell fund shares. For current month-end performance information, call 800.677.FUND. Performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.

Net Asset Value(NAV) performance does not reflect the current maximum sales charge(load).  Had the sales charge been included, the fund's returns would have been lower.

Public offering price (POP) returns are based on the price at which shares are offered to the public and reflect the fund's NAV as increased by the maximum sales charge(load) for purchases.

Investment performance reflects fee waivers. Without such waivers, total returns would be reduced.
