View Detailed Performance
Current Maximum Sales Charge: 5.75%
1 The Adviser has contractually agreed to limit expenses of the Fund. This expense limitation agreement excludes interest, taxes, brokerage, and extraordinary expenses and is subject to possible recoupment. Please see the Fund's prospectus for more information.
2 The expense limits will continue through at least March 1, 2011. Expenses are being waived to the contractual cap.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The performance quoted represents past performance. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
SEC fund returns assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions and include a sales charge. Net Asset Value fund returns assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions. Total return for less than one year is not annualized. Results would have been less favorable if the sales charge were included.
It is important to note that the Fund has a limited operating history. Performance over a longer period of time may be more meaningful than short-term performance.
Principal Risks
All investing involves risks of fluctuating prices and the uncertainties of rates of return and yield inherent in investing. Foreign Investing does pose special risks including currency fluctuation, economic and political risks not found in investments that are solely domestic. Investing in stocks of Small- and Mid-Sized Companies may entail greater volatility and less liquidity than larger companies. Emerging Market stocks may be especially volatile. Other risks of the Fund include but are not limited to: Convertible and Debt Securities Risks; Other Investment Companies Risks; Price Volatility Risks; Inability to Sell Securities Risks; and Securities Lending Risks. Investors should consult the Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for a more detailed discussion of the Fund's risks.
