Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Average annual total return assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance data reflects certain fee waivers and reimbursements. Without such waivers, performance would be lower. Performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be higher or lower.

Since index performance is reported as of month end, for each fund with an inception date other than at month end, index performance is reported from the month end closest to the fund's inception date.

NOTE: Currently, the investment advisor has given a binding undertaking to limit the fund's expenses, which increases fund performance.
