Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods (except where indicated). The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same, except that for Class A, B, C and Y the example is based on Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement for the first nineteen months and Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the remaining periods. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:


If shares are redeemed:
	1 year		3 years		5 years		10 years
Class A	$	528	$	695	$	878	$	1,405
Class B	$	658	$	791	$	1,049	$	1,654
Class C	$	258	$	491	$	849	$	1,855
Class N	$	49	$	154	$	269	$	604
Class Y	$	56	$	179	$	315	$	711


If shares are not redeemed:
	1 year		3 years		5 years		10 years
Class B	$	158	$	321	$	849	$	1,654
Class C	$	158	$	491	$	849	$	1,855
