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. After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rates and exclude state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation. Returns shown do not apply to shares held in tax-deferred arrangements (i.e., 401(k), IRAs).

Inception: Class A, B, and C, 11/18/1999; Class Z, 11/5/1992; Class I, 8/1/1997.

The Fund may invest in derivative securities, which may carry market, credit, and liquidity risks. The Fund may use hedging techniques to enhance return. These risks may result in greater share price volatility. There is no assurance the Fund's objective will be achieved.

Average weighted market capitalization is the average market capitalization of corporations in a fund weighted by the percentage of the holding in the fund. Beta measures a fund's sensitivity to changes in the overall market over the past three years relative to the fund's benchmark. Price-to-Earnings ratio (P/E), measures overall valuation. It is calculated using a harmonic weighted average, which represents the ratio of the portfolio's total market value to the total earnings of the portfolio. 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. Turnover is annual sales divided by the average portfolio value. It tells us the weighted average holding period over a 12-month timeframe of the portfolio. Beta is benchmarked against the S&P 500, an unmanaged index, which is a broad indicator of domestic stock price movements. An investment cannot be made directly in an index. Due to data availability, statistics may not be as of the current reporting period.
