** The Funds are intended for long-term investors and
not for those who wish to trade frequently in Fund shares. The Funds believe
that excessive short-term trading of Fund shares creates risks for the Funds and
their long-term shareholders, including interference with efficient portfolio
management, increased administrative and brokerage costs and potential dilution
in the value of shares. Certain of the Funds impose and retain a 2.00% redemption
fee (short-term trading fee) on shares that are sold or exchanged on or before
the seventh day after the date of purchase.
Please refer to Fund's prospectus for more information on the Short term trading fee.
The Fund's Class AAA shares are open to additional investments by existing shareholders and to new investors provided that new investors acquire shares of the Fund, with a minimum initial investment of $10,000 directly through the Distributor or through the Fund's Transfer Agent. There are no subsequent investment minimums. Investments through intermediaries will not be accepted. The Fund's Advisor Class is available through financial intermediaries.
The Fund's share price will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund's portfolio securities. Stocks are subject to market, economic and business risks that cause their prices to fluctuate. When you
sell Fund shares, they may be worth less than what you paid for them. Consequently, you can lose
money by investing in the Fund.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, sales charges and expense of the fund carefully before investing. The prospectus contains more complete information about this and other matters. The prospectus should be read carefully before investing.
