1.
The fund's 30-day SEC yield is based on yield to maturity of a fund's investments over a 30-day period and not on the dividends paid by the fund, which may differ.
2.
The fund's Institutional Class began operations on July 1, 1999. Performance shown prior to the inception of the Retail Class is based on the performance of the fund's Institutional Class. Performance has not been restated to reflect the higher expenses of the Retail Class. If the expense differential had been reflected, performance for these periods would have been lower.
