A Word About Risk: Convertible securities involve the added risk that securities must be converted before it is optimal. Below investment grade convertible and fixed-income securities involve a greater risk to principal than investment grade securities. Bond prices will normally decline as interest rates rise. Investments in smaller companies may be more volatile and less liquid than investments in larger companies. Derivative prices depend on the performance of an underlying asset; derivatives carry market, credit and liquidity risk.

The BofA Merrill Lynch All Convertibles Index is a widely used, unmanaged index that measures the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated convertible securities not currently in bankruptcy with a total market value greater than $50 million at issuance. Unless otherwise noted, index returns reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gains, if any, but do not reflect fees, brokerage commissions or other expenses of investing. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

 

The Lipper Category returns and rankings are calculated by Lipper Inc., a Reuters Company, which is a nationally recognized organization that compares the performance of mutual funds with similar investment objectives. The Category returns represent the average performance of included funds, while rankings compare an individual fund's returns to those of the other funds in its category. Both are based on total return performance, with capital gains and dividends reinvested, with annual operating expenses deducted, but without including front- or back-end sales charges. Rankings begin with the actual share class inception. Rankings are relative to a peer group and do not necessarily mean that the fund had high total returns.

 

Growth of $10,000 is calculated at NAV and assumes that all dividend and capital gain distributions were reinvested. It does not take into account sales charges or the effect of taxes. Results are not indicative of future performance.
