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.

Inception: Class A, B, C, and Z, 3/30/2001.

This chart represents historical performance and does not assume the effects of sales charges. If shown with sales charges, performance would have been lower. Lipper Large-Cap Value Funds invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three-year weighted basis) above Lipper's U.S. Diversified Equity large-cap floor and typically have below average characteristics compared to the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index provides a broad indicator of stock price movements. An investment cannot be made directly in an index or an average. All indexes and averages are unmanaged.

All data is unaudited and subject to change.

The Fund may invest in foreign securities, which are subject to currency fluctuation and political uncertainty; short sales, which involve costs and the risk of potentially unlimited 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.

Average weighted market capitalization is the average market capitalization of stocks in a fund, each weighted by its proportion of assets. Beta measures a fund's sensitivity to changes in the overall market relative to its benchmark. The P/E ratio (Source: Morningstar, Inc.) relates the price of a stock to the per-share earnings of the company. P/E is calculated using a harmonic weighted average, which excludes outliers that can easily skew results. 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. Turnover (12-month) is the rate of trading in a portfolio, higher values imply more frequent trading. Beta is benchmarked against the Russell 1000® Value Index which measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. The index and Russell are trademarks of the Frank Russell Company. An investment cannot be made directly in an index. Due to data availability, statistics may not be as of the current reporting period.
