Performance shown is historical and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher. 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.

Expense ratios are based on the fund's most recent fiscal year end and include the expenses of any other investment companies in which the fund invests ("acquired fund fees and expenses").  

The fund invests in small-cap companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility.
