A graphical measurement of a portfolio’s net return that simulates the performance of an initial investment of $10,000 over the given time period.
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.

The Fund’s share price will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Stocks are subject to market, economic and business risks that cause their prices to fluctuate. When you sell Fund shares, they may be worth less than what you paid for them. Consequently, you can lose money by investing in the Fund.
Standard deviation is a statistical measure of the volatility of a fund’s returns. Beta measures a fund’s risk relative to its benchmark 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 February 7, 1994. The Class AAA Shares’ net asset values are used to calculate performance for the periods prior to the issuance of Class A Shares and Class C Shares on March 12, 2000, and Class I Shares on January 11, 2008. The actual performance for Class A & 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 Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) All Country (AC) World Index is an unmanaged indicator or stock market performance, its returns do not reflect any fees, expenses, or sales charges, and it is not available for direct deposit.
Effective January 27, 2020, the Fund’s Class AAA, Class A and Class C Shares will be “closed to purchases from new investors”. With respect to the Class AAA & Class A shares, existing shareholders may continue to purchase additional shares. With respect to Class C Shares, neither new investors nor existing shareholders may purchase additional shares after the effective date. These changes will have no effect on existing shareholders’ ability to redeem shares of the Fund as described in the Fund’s Summary Prospectus.
