1 Class A and Class C shares incepted on 03-31-08. Performance shown reflects the performance of the Investor Class shares, which incepted on 1-31-07, and includes expenses that are not applicable to and are higher than Class A shares and lower than Class C shares. Investor Class annual returns are substantially similar to what the Class A and Class C annual returns would be because the shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities and differ only to the extent that the classes do not have the same expenses. 2 Please note, Morningstar provides an extended performance rating for some mutual funds in its universe. Share classes that don’t have a 1, 3-, 5-, or 10-year performance history may receive a hypothetical Morningstar Rating based on the oldest surviving share class of the fund. Morningstar computes the funds’ new return stream by appending an adjusted return history of the oldest share class and the extended performance rating is determined by comparing the adjusted-historical returns to the current open-end mutual fund universe. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees, unless otherwise indicated), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive five stars, the next 22.5% receive four stars, the next 35% receive three stars, the next 22.5% receive two stars, and the bottom 10% receive one star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and is rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) Past performance is no guarantee of future results. 3 The Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Average is an average of funds that invest at least 75% of their equity assets in companies with market capitalizations (on a three year weighted basis) of less than 250% of the dollar-weighted median market capitalization of the smallest 500 of the middle 1,000 securities of the S&P SuperComposite 1500 Index. These funds typically have an above-average price-to-earnings ratio, price-to-book ratio and three year sales-per-share growth value, compared to the S&P SmallCap 600 Index. The total return of the Lipper Average does not include the effect of sales charges. You cannot invest directly in a Lipper Average. 4 Russell 2000® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 2000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. You cannot invest directly in an index.
