Lipper Category Rankings as of 12/31/2021:
Investing in mutual funds involves risk. Some mutual funds have more risk than others. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate and shares when sold may be worth more or less than the original cost and it is possible to lose money. There is no guarantee a Fund’s objectives will be achieved. Fixed income investments are subject to interest rate risk, where their value will decline as interest rates rise. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets. Lipper category rankings are based on total return, do not include the effect of sales charges, and are calculated against all funds in each fund’s respective Lipper category as of Dec. 31, 2021.
Class R6 and Z shares may be available to group retirement plans and institutional investors through certain retirement, mutual fund wrap and asset allocation programs. Class Z shares may also be available to institutional investors and through fee- or commission-based retail brokerage programs of certain financial intermediaries. Class Z shares are generally closed to new retirement plans. Please see the prospectus for additional information about fees, expenses, and investor eligibility.
