GROWTH OF $10,000Inception through Jan-31-2010

YTD (Year-To-Date) returns are cumulative figures and are not annualized.  YTD returns are calculated from January 1 of the reporting year.

Class I shares are sold at net asset value with no initial or contingent deferred sales charge, but higher initial minimum investment requirements apply.

Performance for other share classes will vary due to differences in sales charge structure and class expenses. All classes of shares are not available through all distribution channels.

Average annual total returns and calendar-year total returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions at net asset value and the deduction of all Fund expenses. Performance data does not reflect trade date adjustment made to the NAV at the month end. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods.

1The 30-Day SEC Yield is the average annualized net investment income per share for the 30-day period indicated and is subject to change.

*Change indicates change in the NET ASSET VALUE from the previous business day.

** Gross expenses are the Fund's total annual operating expenses for the share class(es) indicated as of the date of the Fund's most current prospectus and do not reflect fee waivers or reimbursements. These expenses include management fees, 12b-1 distribution and service fees, and other expenses. In periods of market volatility, assets may decline significantly, causing total annual fund operating expenses to become higher than the numbers shown in the table above.

***Net expenses are the Fund's total annual operating expenses for the share classes indicated as of the date of the Fund's most current prospectus and would reflect voluntary fee waivers and/or reimbursements, where these reductions reduce the fund's gross expenses. These waivers and/or reimbursements may be reduced or terminated at any time.
