Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance data may be higher or lower than actual data quoted. The Fund imposes a 2.00% redemption fee on shares held for less than 30 days. Performance shown does not include the redemption fee, which if reflected would reduce the performance quoted. For the most current month-end performance data please call 1.866.759.5679. Performance includes reinvested distributions and capital gains.
The recent growth rate in the stock market has helped to produce short-term returns for some asset classes that are not typical and may not continue in the future. Because of ongoing market volatility, fund performance may be subject to substantial short-term changes.
Maximum Offering Price (MOP) for Class A shares includes the Fund’s maximum sales charge of 5.75%. Performance shown at NAV does not include these sales charges and would have been lower had it been taken into account.
