2011 Capital Gain Distributions

Mutual funds realize gains and losses from selling securities held in their portfolios throughout the year. Tax laws require that the funds distribute the capital gains and ordinary income to their shareholders before year-end.

The following table shows capital gain distributions that were paid out in December. Shareholders are strongly advised to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of their investments in the funds.
