The chart assumes that all dividends during a year are reinvested semi-annually. The portfolio's performance will vary from that of the strategy stocks because the portfolio may not be weighted the same as the strategy stocks and may not be fully invested at all times. The portfolios are often heavily weighted in only a few stocks, making them more volatile than an equally weighted portfolio. There may be tax consequences unless units are purchased in an IRA or other qualified plan. Performance figures are historical and take into consideration annual sales charges, fees and expenses, but not taxes.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
