Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Please refer to Important Risk Information. The principal value and return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance reflected at NAV does not include the Fund's maximum front-end sales load of 4.75%. Had it been included, the Fund's return would have been lower.
Index data shown reflects full month periods only. If share class inception date is on or before the 15th of the month, the index calculation inception date begins on the first day of that month. If share class inception date is after the 15th of the month, the index calculation inception date begins on the first day of the following month.

S&P 500 Index is generally considered representative of the US stock market.
Unmanaged index returns, unlike fund returns, do not reflect fees, expenses or sales charges. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.
