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.

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.
