Performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown here. 

The Russell 1000 Growth Index, an unmanaged index of 1,000 largest U.S. companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values, is not available for direct investment. Unlike a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, management fees or other expenses.

Net expense ratio includes voluntary expense reimbursements by the Funds' investment advisers that may change or end at any time.
