<sup>1</sup> The Fund's returns after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares may be higher than its returns after taxes on distributions because it includes the effect of a tax benefit an investor may receive resulting from the capital losses that would have been incurred on the sale of the shares. 

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates for the character of income in question (as ordinary income or long-term gain) and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-advantaged arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.
