Dividend Yield. The ratio of a company's annual dividend to its share price. The annual dividend used in the ratio is calculated based on the most-recent dividend paid by the company. Dividend yield is an estimate of the dividend-only return from a stock in the next 12 months. Since dividend itself doesn't change frequently, dividend yield usually changes with a stock's price movement. As a result, often an unusually high dividend yield is a result of weak stock price.

Dividend Yield. The Fund may quote a "dividend yield" for each class of its shares. Dividend yield is based on the dividends paid on a class of shares during the actual dividend period. To calculate dividend yield, the dividends of a class declared during a stated period are added together, and the sum is multiplied by 12 (to annualize the yield) and divided by the maximum offering price on the last day of the dividend period. The formula is shown below: Dividend Yield = Dividends paid x 12 -------------------------- Maximum Offering Price (Payment date). The maximum offering price for Class A shares includes the current maximum initial sales charge.

The Class A dividend yield may also be quoted without deducting the maximum initial sales charge.

The cumulative total return measures the change in value over the entire period (for example, ten years). An average annual total return shows the average rate of return for each year in a period that would produce the cumulative total return over the entire period. However, average annual total returns do not show actual year-by-year performance. A Portfolio uses standardized calculations for its total returns as prescribed by the SEC. The methodology is discussed below. 1/n ERV --- - 1 = Average Annual Total Return P |_| Average Annual Total Return.
