Non-wrap fee account returns are net of the advisory fee. Gross-of-fees returns do not reflect the deduction of any advisory fees but may reflect the deduction of transaction costs. Gross-of-fees returns are supplemental to net returns. Returns reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. All performance is reported in US dollars. Investors cannot invest directly in an index, and unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges.
