Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of
investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. Current performance
may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted; current to the most recent month-end performance information can be
obtained at the fund company’s website. Total Return does not take into account fees and expenses. If fees and expenses had been
included, performance would have been lower. Index performance excludes management fees, transaction costs and expenses. Indexes
are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index.
