1. The performance data quoted is total return and represents past
performance. Past performance should not be considered indicative of
future performance. 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. Investor Class
Shares have different expenses from Advisor Class Share which will
generally cause performance to be lower.
