† SEC yield reflects the rate at which a fund is earning income on
its current portfolio of securities. Since certain distributions received
by the funds from real estate investment trusts (REITs) may consist of
dividend income, return of capital and capital gains, and the character of
these distributions cannot be determined until after the end of the year,
the SEC yield has been adjusted for the funds that invest significantly in
REITs based on estimates of return of capital and capital gains.
†† Distribution yield is calculated by dividing the
last distribution paid per share (annualized) by the market price. The funds may pay
distributions in excess of their net investment company taxable income
and, to the extent this occurs, the distribution yields quoted will
include a return of capital. Shareholders of record will be notified of
the estimated return of capital for each distribution and this information
is also available on this Web site. However, please note that distributions
are subject to recharacterization for tax purposes and the final tax
treatment of these distributions will be reported to shareholders after
the close of each fiscal year on form 1099-DIV.
The performance data quoted represents past
performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The
investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate,
and shares, if redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original
cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data
quoted. Annualized total returns of the open-end funds current to the most
recent month-end can be obtained by clicking on the fund name above.

charges or redemption fess were included, returns would be lower.
