  Growth of a $10,000 Investment Since December 31, 1990

This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in the Fund on December 31, 1990, and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. This chart does not imply future performance.

 

  Annualized Performance

Performance data quoted, before and after taxes, represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data shown is current to the most recent month end.

The fund imposes a 2.00% redemption fee on shares held less than 30 days. Performance shown does not reflect redemption fee. Had the fee been shown, performance would be lower.
