The Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) Statistics section shows the Sharpe, Standard Deviation, Alpha, Beta and R2 statistics for the item. Modern Portfolio Theory statistics - statistical calculations applied to an investment strategy that seeks to construct an optimal portfolio by considering the relationship between risk and return. Sharpe ratio is a risk-adjusted measure calculated using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the better the fund's historical risk-adjusted performance. Standard Deviation measures a fund's range of total returns and identifies the spread of a fund's short-term fluctuations. It is useful when comparing the volatility of funds with different objectives. Alpha is a coefficient measuring the risk-adjusted performance, considering the risk due to the specific security, rather than the overall market. A positive alpha indicates that the manager has been successful at security selection and has produced a rate of return which is more than commensurate with the security's risk posture. Beta coefficient is a measure of a security's volatility relative to the market. An index relevant to the security's stated investment category is used as the proxy for the market, and is considered to have a 1.00 Beta. Therefore, if a security has a Beta of 1.50, it has been historically 50% more volatile than the market for the period shown. R-squared is the percentage of a fund's movements explained by movement in its benchmark index. Values of r-squared range from 0 to 1, where 0 indicates no correlation and 1 indicates perfect correlation.

A 2% redemption fee will be imposed on certain redemptions or exchanges out of the fund's Institutional and Investors shares within 30 days of purchase. Exceptions to the redemption fee are listed in the fund's prospectus.
An investment cannot be made directly in an index.
Foreign securities have additional risks, including exchange rate changes, political and economic upheaval, the relative lack of information about these companies, relatively low market liquidity and the potential lack of strict financial and accounting controls and standards.
Investing in a single-country mutual fund involves greater risk than investing in a more diversified fund due to lack of exposure to other economies.
The fund may invest in A shares which have limitations to repatriate fund assets back to the United States.
The fund may use enhanced investment techniques such as leverage and derivatives. Leveraging entails special risks such as magnifying changes in the value of the portfolio's securities. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk—the risk that the other party will not complete the transaction with the fund.
The fund's return during certain periods was positively impacted by its investments in initial public offerings (IPOs). There can be no assurance that the fund will have favorable IPO investment opportunities in the
future. Moreover, the prices of IPO securities may go up and down more than prices of equity securities of companies with longer trading histories. In addition, companies offering securities in IPOs may have less
experienced management or limited operating histories. For additional information regarding the fund's performance, please see the fund's prospectus.
The prices of securities held by the fund may decline in response to market risks.
