The hypothetical charts above do not imply any future performance. They illustrate the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in each Fund since inception and assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. They do not reflect the effect of any redemption fees, which would lower these figures. The initial investment used in the above charts may be higher or lower than the initial minimum amount required to invest in each fund. The performance of an index is not an exact representation of any particular investment, as you cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance cannot be used to predict future returns. Before making an investment decision, it’s important to check the fund’s prospectus for factors such as investment objectives, costs and expenses, liquidity, fluctuation of principal or return, and tax features.
