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.

All data is unaudited and subject to change.
The Fund is exposed to the same types of risks as the underlying funds in which it invests. These risks include small- and mid-cap stocks, which may be subject to more erratic market movements than large-cap stocks; high yield ("junk") bonds, which are subject to greater credit and market risks; short sales, which involve costs and the risks of potentially unlimited losses; leveraging, which may magnify losses; and derivative securities, which may carry market, credit, and liquidity risks. These risks may result in greater share price volatility. There is no assurance the Fund's objective will be achieved.
Standard deviation depicts how widely returns vary around its average and is used to understand the range of returns most likely for a given fund. A higher standard deviation generally implies greater volatility. Due to data availability, statistics may not be as of the current reporting period.
