Index Base Date: June 4, 1990
Performance data quoted represents past performance. PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate and shares of the Fund, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
*Index returns are hypothetical and do not represent Fund returns. Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or overcompensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown above. For a complete list of risks associated with investment, please see the prospectus.
