Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results. 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 the original cost.

The Adviser has absorbed, currently or in the past, certain Fund expenses, without which total returns would have been lower. Note that returns do not reflect the potential deduction of a 2% redemption penalty on shares held less than 90 calendar days.
