EXAMPLE:
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund
with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you
invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of
your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your
investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses
remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on
these assumptions and the net expenses shown in the fee table, your costs would
be:
Expense Example GNMA Securities (USD $)
Expense Example, With Redemption, 1 Year
Expense Example, With Redemption, 3 Years
Expense Example, With Redemption, 5 Years

Class A

Class B
567 817 1,092 1,770
Class C

You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells
securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may
indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when shares are
held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund
operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the
most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 148% of the
average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategy and Techniques of the Fund
The Fund's principal investment strategy is fixed income investing. The
strategy of "fixed income investing" in which the Fund engages includes
utilizing economic research and analysis of current economic conditions,
potential fluctuations in interest rates, and, where relevant, the strength
of the underlying issuer.

The principal investment technique of the Fund is active trading of
mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by the Government National
Mortgage Association (GNMA) without regard to the maturities of such securities.
Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Fund's net assets plus any
borrowing for investment purposes will be invested in such securities. The Fund
may also invest in other types of U.S. Government securities.

The GNMA is a government owned corporation and a federal agency which issues
mortgage backed securities that represent an interest in a pool or pools of
mortgages. The Fund may purchase certain securities issued by GNMA known as
pass-through certificates. GNMA guarantees the full and timely payment of all
interest and principal by GNMA and such guarantee is backed by the full faith
and credit of the U.S. government.

The principal investment strategy and principal investment techniques of the
Fund may be changed without shareholder approval. You will receive at least
sixty (60) days' notice of any change to the 80% investment policy set forth
above.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
There can be no assurance that the Fund's investment goals will be met or that
the net return on an investment in the Fund will exceed what could have been
obtained through other investment or savings vehicles. Shares of the Fund are
not bank deposits and are not guaranteed or insured by any bank, government
entity or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. As with any mutual fund,
there is no guarantee that the Fund will be able to achieve its investment
goals. If the value of the assets of the Fund goes down, you could lose money.

The following is a summary description of the principal risks of investing in
the Fund.

Interest Rate Fluctuations. Interest rates and bond prices typically move
inversely to each other. Thus, as interest rates rise, bond prices typically
fall and as interest rates fall, bond prices typically rise. Longer-term and
lower coupon bonds tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates.

Bond Market Volatility. The bond markets as a whole could go up or down
(sometimes dramatically). This could affect the value of the securities in the
Fund's portfolio.

Prepayment Risk. The Fund will invest significantly in mortgage-backed
securities, which entails the risk that the underlying principal may be
"prepaid" at any time. As a general rule, prepayments increase during a period
of falling interest rates and decrease during a period of rising interest rates.
As a result of prepayments, in periods of declining interest rates, the Fund may
be required to reinvest its assets in securities with lower interest rates. In
periods of increasing interest rates, prepayments generally may decline, with
the effect that the securities subject to prepayment risk held by the Fund may
exhibit price characteristics of longer-term debt securities. Generally,
long-term bonds are more interest-rate sensitive.

Active Trading. As part of the Fund's principal investment technique, the Fund
may engage in active trading of its portfolio securities. Because the Fund may
sell a security without regard to how long it has held the security, active
trading may have tax consequences for certain shareholders, involving a possible
increase in short-term capital gains or losses. Active trading may result in
high portfolio turnover and correspondingly greater brokerage commissions and
other transaction costs, which will be borne directly by the Fund and which will
affect the Fund's performance. During periods of increased market volatility,
active trading may be more pronounced.

Securities Selection. A strategy used by the Fund, or securities selected by a
portfolio manager, may fail to produce the intended return.
Performance Information
The following Risk/Return Bar Chart and Table illustrates the risks of investing
in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance from calendar year to
calendar year, and compares the Fund's average annual returns, before and after
taxes, to those of the BofA Merrill Lynch Mortgages GNMA Master Index*, a broad
measure of market performance. Sales charges are not reflected in the Bar Chart.
If these amounts were reflected, returns would be less than those shown. However,
the table includes all applicable fees and sales charges. Of course,past performance
(before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will
perform in the future. Updated information on the Fund's performance can be obtained

GNMA FUND (CLASS A)
Bar Chart
During the 10-year period shown in the Bar Chart, the highest return for a
quarter was 5.67% (quarter ended September 30, 2001) and the lowest return
for a quarter was -2.15% (quarter ended June 30, 2004).

The Fund's cumulative year-to-date return through the most recent calendar
quarter ended June 30, 2011 was 2.89%.
The after-tax returns shown were calculated using the historical highest
individual federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of
state and local taxes. An investor's actual after-tax returns depend on the
investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown in the above table. The
after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their shares
through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement
accounts.

After-tax returns are shown only for Class A. After-tax returns for other
classes will vary.

[1] When the return after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares is higher, it is because of realized losses. If realized losses occur upon the sale of Fund shares, the capital loss is recorded as a tax benefit, which increases the return.
[2] The Fund has replaced the benchmark used in the Table for the prior fiscal year (the Citigroup Mortgage GNMA Index) with BofA Merrill Lynch Mortgages GNMA Master Index, which management believes is a comparable index. Management further believes that the change will enhance the operations and administration of the Fund.
