The performance data quoted represents past performance, and is no guarantee of future results. Your returns and the principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your accumulation units, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above.

Funds that invest in foreign securities are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuation and political and economic instability. These investment risks may be magnified in emerging markets. High-yield bonds, commonly known as junk bonds, are subject to greater risk of loss of principal and interest, including default risk, than higher-rated bonds. The prices of these bonds may be volatile, and they are generally only suitable for aggressive investors.
