Because share price, principal value, and return will vary, you may have a gain or loss when you sell fund shares. For current month-end performance information, call 800.677.FUND. Performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.
Net Asset Value(NAV) performance does not reflect the current maximum sales charge(load). Had the sales charge been included, the fund's returns would have been lower.
Public offering price (POP) returns are based on the price at which shares are offered to the public and reflect the fund's NAV as increased by the maximum sales charge(load) for purchases.
Investment performance reflects fee waivers. Without such waivers, total returns would be reduced.
The fund invests in mid-cap companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility.
