As of 11/30/2015.
For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for
variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding
consistent performance. The Overall Morningstar Rating™ for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and tenyear (if applicable) Morningstar Rating™ metrics. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the
next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause
slight variations in the distribution percentages.) Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The Russell 1000® Index measures the performance of the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell 3000® Index (the 3,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies based on total market capitalization). The Russell 1000® Growth Index measures the
performance of those Russell 1000® companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Created by Frank Russell Company, indices are not investment products available for purchase.
Key Terms: Alpha/3yr (annualized) - Shows how a fund did relative to what would have been expected given the fund's Beta and the performance of the benchmark index. For example, an alpha of 1.4 means that the fund outperformed its estimated
return (based on market activity alone) by 1.4%. Beta measures the volatility of the fund, as compared to that of the overall market. The market’s beta is set at 1.00; a beta higher than 1.00 is considered to be more volatile than the market, while a beta
lower than 1.00 is considered to be less volatile. Weighted average market capitalization is the average of the weighted capitalizations of a portfolio’s holdings. Price/Earnings ratio (P/E) is the ratio of a stock’s price to its earnings per share.
Price/Book ratio (P/B) is the ratio of a stock’s price to its book value per share. R2 - (R-squared) is a statistic that indicates how much of a fund’s fluctuations were attributable to movements in the fund’s benchmark index. Sharpe Ratio measures
the potential reward offered by a mutual fund relative to its risk level. Developed by William Sharpe, the ratio uses a fund's standard deviation and its excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. The higher the sharpe ratio, the better the fund's
historical risk-adjusted performance. Std. Deviation/3yr (annualized) - Defines how widely returns varied from an average over a given period of time. A higher standard deviation means a more volatile fund. For example, a fund with a standard deviation
of 6 and an average annual return of 10% saw annualized monthly returns fall within 6 percentage points of that average (or between 4% and 16%) two-thirds of the time.
