    Important Performance Information

    Past performance is not a reliable indicator for future results. All financial investments involve an element of risk. The value of investments may rise and fall so you may get back less than originally invested.

    Investors should consider the risks, including lower returns, related to currency movements between their investing currency and the portfolio's base currency, if different.

    Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Net-of-fees performance is based on end-of-month redemption prices after the deduction of fees and expenses and the reinvestment of all distributions. Gross-of-fees performance is the net return with fees and expenses added back. Figures include changes in principal value. Investment return and principal value will vary, and an account may be worth more or less at termination than at inception.
