Performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and 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. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than their original cost. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling (800) 331-8936. The funds impose a 2% redemption fee for shares held less than 90 days. Performance data quoted does not reflect the redemption fee. If reflected, total return would be reduced.

Correlation is a statistical measure of how two securities move in relation to each other.  Beta measures the sensitivity of rates of return on a fund to general market movements.  A beta above 1 is generally more volatile than the overall market, while a beta below 1 is generally less volatile.  R-Squared is a statistical measure that represents the percentage of a fund’s or security’s movements that are explained by movements in a benchmark index.  The S&P 500 Index is a broad based unmanaged index of 500 stocks, which is widely recognized as representative of the equity market in general.  The Russell 2000 Index consists of the smallest 2,000 companies in a group of 3,000 U.S. companies in the Russell 3000 Index, as ranked by market capitalization.  You cannot invest directly in an index.

Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market.
