*Performance shown is for class I shares.**Risk statistics are calculated over a five year period, computed monthly.Morningstar Rating™- Category-Intermediate Core-Plus Bond. For each investment with at least a three-year history,

Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on how an investment ranks on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Returnmeasure against other investments in the category. This measure takes into account variations in an investment’s monthly performance afteradjusting for sales loads (except for load-waived A shares), redemption fees, and the risk-free rate, placing more emphasis on downward variations andrewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of investments in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for an investment is derived from a weightedaverage of the ratings for the three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) time periods. The Morningstar percentile ranking is based on the fund’s total-return percentile rank relative to all funds that have the same category for the same time period. The highest (or most favorable) percentile rank is 1%,and the lowest (or least favorable) percentile rank is 100%. Morningstar total return includes both income and capital gains or losses and is not adjustedfor sales charges. © 2020 Morningstar, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Please refer to the summary prospectus (a copycan be obtained by sending an email to [email protected]) for more information on the specific risks.Risk Statist ics-Alpha is a measure of the difference between a fund’s actual returns and its expected performance, given its level of risk as measuredby beta. A positive alpha figure indicates the fund has performed better than its beta would predict. In contrast, a negative alpha indicates the fund’sunderperformance, given the expectations established by the fund’s beta. B e t a is a measure of sensitivity to market movements. The beta of the marketis 1.00. A beta of 1.10 shows that the fund’s excess return is expected to be 10% better than the market’s excess return in an up market or 10% worse in adown market. A beta of .85 indicates that the fund’s excess return is expected to perform 15% less than the market’s excess return during up markets and15% greater during down markets. Standard Deviat ion is a statistical measurement, which for a mutual fund depicts how widely the returns variedover a certain period of time. When a fund has a high standard deviation, performance is wide, implying greater volatility. R-squared (R2) measuresthe degree of relationship between the performance of the fund and that of the index. The higher the R-squared, the more related the fund’sperformance is to its index. Tracking Error is also known as active risk and is the degree to which the strategy differed from its index or benchmark.The higher the Tracking Error, the more the fund deviated from its index. Sharpe Ratio measures risk adjusted performance; it is calculated as the realtotal return of the fund (total return-risk free rate) divided by the risk of the fund (standard deviation). Upside/downside capture shows whether agiven fund has outperformed--gained more or lost less than--a broad market benchmark during periods of market strength and weakness, and if so, byhow much. An upside capture ratio over 100 indicates a fund has generally outperformed the benchmark during periods of positive returns for thebenchmark. A downside capture ratio of less than 100 indicates that a fund has lost less than its benchmark in periods when the benchmark has been inthe red. Batting Average is a measure of a manager’s ability to consistently beat its benchmark over the trailing five-year period.Fixed Income Character ist ics - Matur ity is the dollar-weighted average of all the current maturities of the bonds in a portfolio.
