| 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.
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.
