PAST PERFORMANCE DOES NOT GUARANTEE FUTURE RESULTS. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end, which may be higher or lower than the performance shown above, please call 866-667-9231.

Returns prior to 6/23/08 reflect the performance of a predecessor fund. Please consult the Fund’s prospectus for more detail. Total returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions. Total returns may reflect a waiver of part of the Fund’s fees for certain periods since inception, without which returns would have been lower.

Class A Shares have up to a 5.75% front-end sales charge and a 0.25% 12b-1 fee

The difference between gross and net expense ratios reflects contractual expense waivers in effect through February 28, 2011.
