The past performance noted does not guarantee future results. Total returns and average annual returns reflect changes in net asset value price, reinvested dividends, rights offerings, spin-offs and capital gains and are net of expenses. Investment results and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. When shares are sold, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Due to market volatility, current performance may be higher or lower than the figures shown.

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.
