The Morningstar Style BoxTM reveals a fund's investment strategy. For equity funds, the vertical axis shows the market capitalization of the stocks owned; the horizontal axis shows investment style (value, blend, or growth). For fixed income funds, the vertical axis shows the average credit quality of the bonds owned; the horizontal axis shows interest rate sensitivity as measured by a bond's duration (short, intermediate and long). Duration is a measure of a portfolio's sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The longer the duration, the greater the price change relative to interest-rate movements.

The performance data quoted represents past performance, which 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 may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Indices reflect no deductions for fees or expenses. An investor cannot invest directly in an index.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Morningstar ratings are subject to change on a monthly basis. The above ratings are for the period indicated.  For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive three stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive one star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. Morningstar Rating is for the A share class only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. ©2005 Morningstar, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
