The performance data quoted represents past performance, and is no guarantee of future results. Your returns and the principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above.
| * | The net annual expense ratio represents expenses after reimbursement and waivers, while the gross annual expense ratio represents expenses without any reimbursements and waivers. The expense reimbursements and waiver agreements are contractual and are currently generally expected to continue through at least April 30, 2008, except that the expense reimbursements in place for the index funds will continue through at least April 30, 2010. Without these waivers and reimbursements, the Fund expenses would be higher and their performance would have been lower. |
| ** | The fund's Institutional Class began operations on July 1, 1999. Performance shown prior to the inception of the Retail Class is based on the performance of the fund's Institutional Class. Performance has not been restated to reflect the higher expenses of the Retail Class. If the expense differential had been reflected, performance for these periods would have been lower. |
