Expense Examples $
The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in shares of the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated. The Examples show costs if you sold (redeemed) your shares at the end of the period or continued to hold them. The Examples also assume that your investment had a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The cost of investing in the Fund for one year may vary based on the 2.00% redemption fee if shares were held for less than 365 days. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the Fund. Because Class W shares of the Fund had not commenced operations as of the calendar year ended December 31, 2010, the following bar chart shows the changes in the Fund's Class A shares' performance from year to year, and the table compares the Fund's Class A shares' performance to the performance of a broad-based securities market index/indices for the same period. Class W shares and Class A shares of the Fund would have substantially similar performance because they invest in the same portfolio of securities. However, Class W shares' performance would be higher than Class A shares' performance because of the higher expenses paid by Class A shares. The Fund's performance information reflects applicable fee waivers and/or expense limitations in effect during the period presented. Absent such fee waivers/expense limitations, if any, performance would have been lower. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund's Class A shares, but does not reflect the impact of sales charges. If it did, returns would be lower than those shown. The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is no guarantee of future results.
