Returns represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Due to market volatility, current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Total return and average annual returns are historical and reflect changes in share price, reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and are net of expenses. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so, upon redemption, shares may be worth more or less than their original cost.

When shares are sold, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Consequently, you can lose money by investing in the Fund.

You cannot invest directly in an index.
