If the Funds' Institutional Class shares were offered to the public during the entire performance period covered, the performance data shown will be the historical performance of the Funds' Institutional Class shares. A restated or blended performance calculation may be used to derive (i) the Funds' standardized average annual total returns over a stated period and (ii) the Funds' non-standardized cumulative total returns over a stated period."
