Lipper Award 2009




The Lipper Award for the three-year period in the Intermediate Investment grade Debt category was out of 466 funds. The awards are given each year to funds that have at least 36 months of performance history as of the end of the evaluation year and that have excelled in delivering consistently strong risk-adjusted performance, relative to peers. The Lipper Award is not a ranking.

Suitability

The Fund is suitable for investors seeking a moderate rate of income with less share-price volatility than longer-term bond funds. The Fund seeks to enhance total return by achieving capital gains by capitalizing on movements in nominal interest rates.

Investment Risks

This Fund carries lower reward potential and, correspondingly, has lower risk tied to it than more aggressive investments.

Bond Funds will tend to experience smaller fluctuations in value than stock funds. However, investors in any bond fund should anticipate fluctuations in price, especially for longer-term issues and in environments of rising interest rates.
