Disclosure
Investors should carefully consider the fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. For this and other information, please call 800.835.3879 or download a free prospectus. Read it carefully before investing or sending money.
The performance shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and the 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. From time to time the advisor has waived fees or reimbursed expenses, which may have resulted in higher returns. The listed returns and yields on the Fund are net of expenses and the returns and yields on the indices exclude expenses. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.
Performance for periods longer than a year are annualized.
The Fund invests in large-capitalization companies that may underperform other stock funds (such as funds that focus on small and medium capitalization companies) when stocks of large-capitalization companies are out of favor.
Annual net expense ratio as of the current prospectus dated 04/01/2008 adjusted for the reduction in custodial fees, which took effect on 07/01/2007. The investment manager has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2009, to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage, acquired fund expenses and extraordinary items) to 1.29% of the Fund's average daily net assets, provided that the amount of management fees waived will not exceed 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets.
Unlike the Fund, the Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment and does not incur expenses. Please see Index Definitions for all our funds' benchmarks.
