  • Mutual funds that invest in bonds can lose their value as interest rates rise and bond prices usually fall; investor can lose principal

  • Securities issued by US Government agencies are not insured, and may not be guaranteed by the US Government

Fund Application 
Unsubsidized 30-day SEC yield is calculated using the gross expenses of the fund. Gross expenses do not include any fee waivers or reimbursement.

Investment return and principal value may fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be higher or lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
1 For further detail regarding Minimum Initial Investment, please see the fund prospectus.

2 Unlike net expense ratio, gross expense ratio does not reflect any potential reimbursement/waiver of expenses, if any, as stated in the most recent Fund prospectus. Fund expenses and expense reductions are subject to change. Expense reductions are contractual and are set to expire 1/31/2012. Investors should consult the most recent prospectus for more detailed information.

The Barclays Capital US Government/Credit Bond Index includes Treasurys (public obligations of the US Treasury that have remaining maturities of more than one year) and agencies (publicly issued debt of US government agencies, quasi-federal corporations, and corporate or foreign debt guaranteed by the US government) as well as other publicly issued investment grade corporate and foreign debentures that meet specified maturity, liquidity, and quality requirements. Indexes are unmanaged, do not incur fees and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Before investing, consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. You may obtain a prospectus or a summary prospectus, if available, containing this and other information on this web site. Read it carefully.
