Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Investment performance, current to the most recent month-end, may be lower or higher than the performance quoted, and can be obtained by calling the Shareholder Services Office at (800) 531-5142 or clicking here.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of sate and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. In particular, after-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401 (k) plans or individual retirement accounts.
