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. 

International investments are subject to special risks not ordinarily associated with domestic investments, including currency fluctuations, economic and political change and differing accounting standards that may adversely affect portfolio securities.

The MSCI EAFE Index, an unmanaged index of more than 1,000 equity securities of foreign companies, 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.
