After tax returns are based on highest Federal income tax bracket and depend on the investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown, and the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. State and local taxes are not included. Pre-liquidation figures include taxes on fund's distributions of dividends and capital gains. Tax Cost Ratio represents the percentage-point reduction in returns that results from Federal income taxes (before shares in the fund are sold, and assuming the highest Federal tax bracket).
