³ For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating^TM based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.)

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.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. 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.
Performance greater than one year is annualized. Performance less than one year is cumulative. Total return assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions, if any. Performance data reflects certain fee waivers and reimbursements. Without such waivers, performance and rankings would be lower.

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.
