Absent these waivers, or reimbursement arrangements, performance results may be lower. View a list of funds for which the investment advisor or its affiliates has agreed to reimburse or waive a portion of the fund expenses. Unless a specific end date is provided, the waiver or reimbursement may be revised or discontinued at any time.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.
The sales charge typically applied to class A shares, which carry a 12b-1 fee, is waived for purchases of the fund through Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) and defined contribution plans.
