Performance quoted is past performance and cannot guarantee comparable future results; current performance may be lower or higher. Investment return and principal value will vary so that you may have a gain or a loss when you sell shares.

Performance figures reflect reinvested distributions and changes in net asset value (NAV) and the effect of the maximum sales charge unless otherwise stated.

Performance shown at NAV does not include applicable front-end or CDSC sales charges, which would have reduced the performance.

The contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on Class B shares declines from 5% beginning at the time of purchase to zero at the beginning of the seventh year. Performance shown at NAV does not include sales charges, which would have reduced the performance.

No contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) will be imposed on redemptions of Class C shares following one year from the date shares were purchased. Performance shown at NAV does not include sales charges, which would have reduced the performance.

Class R share's inception date is June 3, 2002; returns since that date are historical returns. All other returns are blended returns of historical Class R share performance and restated Class A share performance (for periods prior to the inception date of Class R shares) at net asset value, adjusted to reflect the higher Rule 12b-1 fees applicable to Class R shares. Class A shares inception date as noted in table.

Class R share returns do not include a 0.75% CDSC that may be imposed on a total redemption of retirement plan assets within the first year. The Class R shares have no sales charge; therefore, performance is at NAV. Class R shares are available only to certain retirement plans and IRAs. Please see the prospectus for more information.

A 2% redemption fee will be imposed on certain redemptions or exchanges out of the fund's Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares within 30 days of purchase. Exceptions to the redemption fee are listed in the fund's prospectus.

Class Y share's inception date is October 3, 2008; returns since that date are historical returns. All other returns are blended returns of historical Class Y share performance and restated Class A2 share performance (for periods prior to the inception date of Class Y shares) at net asset value and reflect the Rule 12b-1 fees applicable to Class A2 shares. Class A2 shares inception date as noted in table. Class Y shares would have had different returns due to differences in the expense structure of the Class Y shares.

Class Y shares have no sales charge; therefore, performance is at NAV. Class Y shares are closed to most investors. Please see the prospectus for more details.

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.

Investing in emerging markets involves greater risk and potential reward than investing in more established markets.

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.
