Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Principal value and investment returns will fluctuate, and investors' shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Performance would have been lower if fees had not been waived in various periods. Total returns assume the reinvestment of all distributions and the deduction of all Fund expenses. Returns with sales charge reflect a deduction of the stated maximum sales charge. Returns without sales charge would have been lower had sales charges been reflected. An investor cannot invest directly in an index, and unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.

Distributions & Tax

Federal ID Number 043098249

For information on tax years prior to 2008, please contact us

These amounts represent distributions paid by the fund, foreign taxes passed through (if any), and other distribution characteristics for the calendar year selected. These amounts are reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV.

Distributions per Share ($)

Estimated distributions can change depending on current market conditions and number of shares outstanding. Changes can occur up to the record date. Estimates don't include ordinary income distributions the funds may be making. A fund's capital gain distributions per share will be the same for each share class. All dates and distributions are subject to board approval.

Tax Information
Record Date

For daily accrual funds, the date displayed is the pay date for the fund.

Ordinary Dividends

Dividends paid by a fund that are derived from interest, dividends, net short-term capital gains and other types of ordinary income earned by the fund. For a fund that elects to pass through its foreign taxes paid (a non-cash item), a shareholder's allotted share of foreign taxes has been added to the “Ordinary Dividends” cash distributions received by the shareholder. If the fund passed through foreign taxes paid and later is refunded any portion of those taxes by a foreign tax authority, any interest paid to the fund on that refund is also required to be included in “Ordinary Dividends”.

Qualified Dividends

The portion of a fund’s “Ordinary Dividends” that may be eligible for a reduced capital gain tax rate. To be eligible for the lower tax rates, certain holding periods apply and shareholders should consult their tax advisor to determine the amount eligible for the reduced rate. This amount represents both cash distributions and non-cash amounts, such as foreign taxes paid, that have been allocated to shareholders.

Capital Gain Distributions

The net long-term gains recognized by a fund from the sale of securities and other assets. These distributions may be eligible for a reduced capital gain tax rate.

Unrecaptured Section 1250 Gain

The portion of a fund’s “Capital Gain Distributions” related to certain depreciable real property—typically derived from a fund’s real estate investment trusts holdings. Unrecaptured section 1250 gains are usually taxed at a higher tax rate than general “Capital Gain Distributions”.

Non-Taxable Return Of Capital

Also known as a “Return of Capital”, occurs when a shareholder receives a portion of their investment that is not considered income or capital gains. These amounts are not taxed currently but may reduce the cost basis of the shares related to the distribution.

Section 199a Dividends

The portion of a fund’s “Ordinary Dividends” generated by a real estate investment trust or earned by a fund from its investments in real estate investment trusts, subject to limitations. Individual (non-corporate) shareholders may be entitled to a special deduction from gross income for “Section 199A Dividends” received from a fund. To qualify for this deduction certain holding periods apply and shareholders should consult their tax advisor.

Foreign Tax Paid

Shareholder’s pro-rata portion of foreign taxes paid by the fund to non-US tax authorities. A shareholder may be eligible to claim these as a credit or take a deduction on their tax return and should consult their tax advisor.

Exempt Interest Dividends

Represent the net tax-exempt income earned by the fund from municipal bonds and other tax-exempt securities. This income is typically not subject to federal income tax but may be subject to state and or alternative minimum tax. Shareholders should consult their tax advisor if they have any questions.

Interest on Tax Reclaim Refunds

Interest paid by European countries on historical overwithholding of taxes by the foreign governments related to dividends and interest paid to the mutual fund. The reclaimed taxes are now being refunded as a result of various court rulings. In accordance with IRS Notice 2016-10, the mutual fund is required to report the interest on the reclaimed taxes on Form 1099-DIV

Risks

All investments involve risks, including possible loss of principal. Equity securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal. Short selling is a speculative strategy. Unlike the possible loss on a security that is purchased, there is no limit on the amount of loss on an appreciating security that is sold short. Derivative instruments can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on performance. The investment style may become out of favor, which may have a negative impact on performance. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are closely linked to the performance of the real estate markets. REITs are subject to illiquidity, credit and interest rate risks, and risks associated with small- and mid-cap investments. Investments in energy-related master limited partnerships and midstream entities are subject to risks of declines in energy and commodity prices, decreases in energy demand, adverse weather conditions, natural or other disasters, changes in government regulation, and changes in tax laws. Dividends may fluctuate and are not guaranteed, and a company may reduce or eliminate its dividend at any time. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. International investments are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations and social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. The manager may consider environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria in the research or investment process; however, ESG considerations may not be a determinative factor in security selection. In addition, the manager may not assess every investment for ESG criteria, and not every ESG factor may be identified or evaluated. These and other risks are discussed in the fund’s prospectus.

Footnotes

  1. Net Asset Value - the amount per share you would receive if you sold shares that day. NAV Change indicates a change in the Net Asset Value from the previous business day.

  2. Figures are aggregate total return figures, have not been annualized and represent the change in value of an investment over the period indicated.

  3. The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or “star rating”, is calculated for managed products with at least a three-year history, and subject to change monthly. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total return, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total return. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. Ratings do not take into account the effects of sales charges and loads. Morningstar Rating is for the specified share class(es) only; other classes may have different performance characteristics. ©2025 Morningstar, Inc. All rights reserved.

  4. Distribution Rate is calculated by annualizing the most recent distribution amount paid, divided by the NAV as of the date indicated. The Distribution Rate calculation includes income, may include capital gains and excludes special distributions. The Distribution Rate is subject to change and is not guaranteed nor a quotation of fund performance.

  5. With Waiver means the performance quote reflects any applicable expense reductions and fee waivers.

  6. During periods of rising inflation, fund yields can vary significantly from month-to-month and may not be repeated.

  7. 30-Day SEC Yield is calculated using the net income (interest and dividends) per share earned over a trailing 30-day period (annualized), divided by the fund’s share price at the end of that period. It may not equal the fund’s actual income distribution rate, which reflects the fund’s past dividends paid to shareholders.

  8. Gross Expense Ratio reflects the total annual operating expenses for the share class shown, prior to the deduction of any waiver or reimbursement. Actual expenses may be higher and may impact portfolio returns. Net Expense Ratio reflects total expenses after any fee waivers, implemented expense caps or reimbursements. If a fund has contractual fee waivers, expense caps and/or reimbursements, the expiration date can be found by clicking on the information button next to the net expense ratio. Additional amounts may be voluntarily waived and/or reimbursed and may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice. Expense ratios are as of the most recent prospectus or annual report.

  9. Net Expense Ratio represents the expense ratio applicable to investors.

  11. Public Offering Price – the purchase price for each share of the fund on a given day.  It includes the maximum initial sales charge, if any.

  12. Capitalization Rate is calculated without the deduction of fees and expenses.
