Returns with sales charges reflect a maximum sales charge of 5.75%.
The performance quoted represents past performance, which is no indication of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Returns shown include the reinvestment of all distributions. Returns shown at net asset value do not reflect the current maximum sales charge, had the sales charge been included, returns would have been lower. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, on any given day or when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Therefore, there can be no assurance of future results.

The indexes are presented for informational purposes only and are not presented to illustrate any specific product or security. Indexes reflect total return, with all dividends reinvested.

The Fund’s portfolio is actively managed and, therefore, its holdings and the weightings of a particular issuer or a particular sector as a percentage of portfolio assets may change significantly over time. Sectors may include many industries. The mention of specific portfolio holdings is for information only. It does not constitute a recommendation or an offer for a particular security or fund, nor should it be taken as a solicitation or recommendation to buy or sell securities or other investments.
A Note about Risk: The value of investments in equity securities will fluctuate in response to general economic conditions and to changes in the prospects of particular companies, including market, liquidity, currency, and political risks. Larger companies may be unable to respond quickly to certain market developments and may have slower rates of growth as compared to smaller successful companies. A company's dividend payments may vary over time, and there is no guarantee that a company will pay a dividend at all. These factors can adversely affect Fund performance. Investments in value companies can continue to be undervalued for long periods of time and be more volatile than the stock market in general. The Fund’s performance history under its current investment strategy is very limited. The Fund's performance achieved during its initial period of investment operation under its current investment strategy may not be replicated over longer periods and may not be indicative of how the Fund will perform in the future.
