After-tax performance is presented only for Class I Shares of the Fund. The after-tax returns for other Fund classes may vary. Actual after-tax returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown in the preceding table. When after-tax returns are calculated, it is assumed that the shareholder was in the highest individual federal marginal income tax bracket at the time of each distribution of income or capital gains or upon redemption. State and local income taxes are not reflected in the calculations. Please note that after-tax returns are not relevant for a shareholder who holds Fund shares in a tax-deferred account, such as an individual retirement account or a 401(k) plan.
