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.

P/E Ratio - Is the weighted average of each holding's P/E ratio (price of a stock divided by its earnings per share). The result is based upon a weighted average of the securities held in the fund.
Portfolio Turnover - This is a measure of the Fund’s trading activity which is computed by taking the lesser of purchases or sales divided by average monthly market value, excluding short-term investments.
