Lipper Leader Ratings: Lipper Leaders Ratings for Total Return reflect funds' historical total return performance relative to peers. Ratings for Consistent Return reflect funds' historical risk-adjusted returns relative to peers. Lipper ratings for Preservation are relative, rather than absolute. Ratings for Tax Efficiency reflect funds' historical ability to postpone taxable distributions. Ratings for Expense reflect funds' expense minimization relative to peers. Lipper Leader ratings DO NOT take into account the effects of sales charges.
Funds are ranked against their Lipper peer group classifications each month for 3-, 5-, 10-year, and overall periods. These ratings are based on an equal-weighted average of percentile ranks of the five Lipper Leaders metrics. For each metric: the top 20% of funds receive a rating of ‘5’ and are named Lipper Leaders, the next 20% of funds receive a rating of ‘4’, the middle 20% of funds receive a rating of ‘3’, the next 20% of funds receive a rating of ‘2’ the lowest 20% of funds receive a rating of ‘1’. For an explanation of the methodology used to calculate them, you can visit the Lipper Leader website.

Exchange-Traded Fund Considerations: Exchange-traded fund (ETF) shares are subject to risks similar to those of other diversified portfolios. Although ETFs are designed to provide investment results that generally correspond to the performance of their respective underlying indices, they may not be able to exactly replicate the performance of the indices because of expenses and other factors. Also, there are brokerage commissions associated with trading ETFs that may negate their low management fees.
