An investment in the Fund is subject to market risk or the risk that stocks in the portfolio will decline in response to such factors as adverse company news or industry developments or a general economic decline. The Fund’s potential investment in foreign securities involve risks not typically associated with domestic investments such as adverse political, currency, economic, social or regulatory developments in a country including excessive taxation, lack of liquidity, and differing legal or accounting standards. The Fund’s focus on dividend paying securities presents credit risk and the risks of greater exposure to certain economic sectors rather than the broad equity market. As with any mutual fund, possible loss of principal is also a risk.

Style boxes reflect the investment strategies and various types of securities in which the fund intends to principally invest as outlined in the prospectus. A box will be filled in if a fund invests a substantial amount under normal circumstances in that category.
