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 November 1, 1993. 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 and Class I Shares on January 11, 2008. The actual performance for Class A shares would have been lower and Class I Shares higher due to the different expenses associated with those classes of shares.
