The fund’s Class A Shares commenced operations on August 30, 2004. The fund offers three other classes of shares, Institutional Shares, Institutional Service Shares and Y Shares. Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices. The value of some mortgage-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates, and although the securities are generally supported by some form of government or private insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations. Investors should carefully consider the fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing.
