(1) If you buy $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares and redeem these shares within 18 months from the date of purchase, you may pay a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) at the time of redemption. (2) If you are a retirement plan participant and you buy $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares, you may pay a 1.00% CDSC if a total redemption of the retirement plan assets occurs within 12 months from the date of the retirement plan's initial purchase. (3) If you are a retirement plan participant, you may pay a 0.75% CDSC if the distributor paid a concession to the dealer of record and a total redemption of the retirement plan assets occurs within 12 months from the date of the retirement plan's initial purchase. (4) You may be charged a 2.00% fee on redemptions or exchanges of Class A or Investor Class shares held 30 days or less. See "Shareholder Information - Redeeming Shares - Redemption Fee" for more information. (5) There is no guarantee that actual expenses will be the same as those shown in the table. (6) Other Expenses for Investor Class shares are based on estimated average net assets for the current fiscal year. (7) Effective January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2009, the advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fees. The Fee Waiver reflects this agreement. (See "Fund Management - Advisor Compensation" following.) 1 If a financial institution is managing your account you may also be charged a transaction or other fee by such financial institution. As a result of 12b-1 fees, long-term shareholders in the fund may pay more than the maximum permitted initial sales charge. EXPENSE EXAMPLE This example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in different classes of 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. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the fund's operating expenses remain the same and includes the effect of any contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. To the extent fees are waived and/or expenses are reimbursed voluntarily, your expenses will be lower. Although your actual returns and costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
1 YEAR 3 YEARS 5 YEARS 10 YEARS --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Class A $741 $1,140 $1,564 $2,751 Class B 767 1,120 1,600 2,828 Class C 367 820 1,400 2,985 Class R 217 670 1,149 2,484 Investor Class 192 594 1,021 2,224 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
1 YEAR 3 YEARS 5 YEARS 10 YEARS --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Class A $741 $1,140 $1,564 $2,751 Class B 267 820 1,400 2,828 Class C 267 820 1,400 2,985 Class R 217 670 1,149 2,484 Investor Class 192 594 1,021 2,224" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
