The Fund’s share price will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

Standard deviation is a statistical measure of the volatility of a fund’s returns. Beta measures a fund’s risk relative to the S&P 500 Index which, by definition, has a beta of 1.00. If a fund’s beta is less than 1.00, the fund is considered less risky than the market. Alpha is a measure of a fund’s actual returns and expected performance, given its level of risk (as measured by beta). Upside/downside capture ratio show you whether a given fund has outperformed, gained more or less than, a broad market benchmark during periods of market strength and weakness, and if so, by how much. R-squared is a statistic that indicates how much of a fund’s fluctuations were attributable to movements of the fund’s benchmark index.

The inception date of the Fund was May 11, 1998. The Class AAA Shares’ net asset values are used to calculate performance for the periods prior to the issuance of Class A Shares on March 12, 2000, Class C Shares on November 23, 2001 and Class I Shares on January 11, 2008. The actual performance for Class C Shares would have been lower and Class I Shares higher due to the different expenses associated with those classes of shares. Performance for periods less than one year is not annualized. Class A Shares (load adjusted) includes the effect of the maximum 5.75% sales charge at the beginning of the period. Class C Shares (load adjusted) includes the effect of the applicable 1% contingent deferred sales charge for shares redeemed up to and including the last day of the twelfth month after purchase. The Fund imposes a 2% redemption fee on shares sold or exchanged in seven days or less after the date of purchase. The adviser has voluntarily agreed to reimburse expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the annualized total operating expenses of the Fund. Performance results would have been lower had the Adviser not agreed to limit expenses.
