Source: Morningstar. Morningstar Ratings may be calculated based on share class adjusted historical returns. If so, the fund’s independent Morningstar Rating metric uses the fund’s oldest class to determine its hypothetical rating for certain periods. Morningstar Ratings are calculated for managed products with a 3-year minimum history. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. Rating is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure accounting for variation in a managed product's monthly excess performance that emphasizes downward variations more and rewards consistent performance, with no sales load adjustment. In each category, the top 10% receive 5 stars, with 4 stars for the next 22.5%, 3 stars for the next 35%, 2 stars for the next 22.5%, and 1 star for the bottom 10%. Overall Morningstar Rating is derived from a weighted average of the performance associated with its 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics: for 36-59 months of total returns, 100% 3-year rating, for 60-119 months of total returns, 60% 5-year rating/40% 3-year rating, and for 120 or more months of total returns, 50% 10-year rating/30% 5-year rating/20% 3-year rating.

Total return describes the return to the investor after net operating expenses but before any sales charges are imposed. Lipper average is unmanaged, is based on the average return of all funds in this category, and does not take into consideration applicable sales charges. Unless noted otherwise, Lipper averages and index returns reflect performance beginning the closest month-end date to the Fund's inception. Benchmark since inception average is based on Class Z inception date. SEC standardized return describes the return to the investor after net operating expense and maximum sales charges are imposed. All returns assume share price changes as well as the compounding effect of reinvested dividends and capital gains. Returns may reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. Without such, returns would be lower. All returns 1-year or less are cumulative.
Morningstar Large Growth Category Average: Large-growth portfolios invest primarily in big U.S. companies that are projected to grow faster than other large-cap stocks. Stocks in the top 70% of the capitalization of the U.S. equity market are defined as large cap. Growth is defined based on fast growth (high growth rates for earnings, sales, book value, and cash flow) and high valuations (high price ratios and low dividend yields). Most of these portfolios focus on companies in rapidly expanding industries.

Average weighted market capitalization is the average market capitalization of stocks in a fund, each weighted by its proportion of assets. Beta measures a fund's sensitivity to changes in the overall market relative to its benchmark. Standard deviation depicts how widely returns vary around its average and is used to understand the range of returns most likely for a given fund. A higher standard deviation generally implies greater volatility. Turnover Ratio is the rate of trading in a portfolio, higher values imply more frequent trading. Due to data availability, statistics may not be as of the current reporting period.
Enhanced cash strategies are variations on traditional money market vehicles. They are designed to provide liquidity and principal preservation, but with more of an emphasis on seeking returns that are superior to those of traditional money market offerings.
