Total return describes the return to the investor before any sales charges are imposed. Lipper average is unmanaged, is based on the average return of all funds in this category, and does not take into consideration applicable sales charges. Unless noted otherwise, Lipper averages and index returns reflect performance beginning the closest month-end date to the Fund's inception. Benchmark since inception average is based on Class A inception date. SEC standardized return describes the return to the investor after maximum sales charges are imposed. All returns assume share price changes, as well as the compounding effect of reinvested dividends and capital gains. Returns may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Without such, returns would be lower.

Inception: Class A, 7/7/1986; Class B and C, 1/15/1996; Class Z, 3/17/1997.

All data is unaudited and subject to change.

The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which are subject to currency fluctuation and political uncertainty; short sales, which involve costs and the risk of potentially unlimited losses; leveraging, which may magnify losses; and derivative securities, which may carry market, credit, and liquidity risks; and certain economic sectors, thereby increasing its vulnerability to a single economic, political, or regulatory development. These risks may result in greater share price volatility. There is no assurance the Fund's objective will be achieved.

Standard deviation is a statistical measurement that depicts how widely returns varied over the past three years. The measurement is generally used to understand the range of returns that are most likely for a given fund. When a fund has a high standard deviation, the range of performance may be wider, implying greater volatility. Due to data availability, statistics may not be as of the current reporting period.
