Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar RatingTM based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for a variation in a Fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees) placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. Morningstar Ratings are for the share classes cited only; other classes may have different performance characteristics and different Morningstar ratings. Most of the funds above offer four classes of shares, each with a different combination of sales charges, ongoing fees and other features. Any mutual fund using Morningstar extended performance, represented by hollow stars, would be considered an estimate based on the performance of the fund's oldest share class and adjusted for fees. © 2012 Morningstar, Inc.
