Ratings are subject to change monthly. Past ratings are no guarantee of future ratings. Investment return and the value of an investor’s shares will fluctuate. Shares may be worth more or less than original cost when redeemed.
The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, often called a star rating, is a quantitative assessment of a fund’s past performance — both return and risk — as measured from one to five stars.

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. Morningstar provides adjusted historical returns and an Extended Performance Rating for mutual funds with multiple share classes (where at least one class has three years of history).This means that any share class that doesn’t have a 3-, 5-, or 10-year performance history may receive a hypothetical Morningstar Rating based on the oldest surviving share class of the fund. Morningstar first takes the performance of the initial share class for the prior periods and adjust those returns for any difference in fee structure. Next, the Extended Performance
Rating is determined by comparing the adjusted-historical returns to the current investment universe to identify placement in the bell
curve used to assign the Morningstar Rating. 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.) The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-year and five-year Morningstar Rating metrics, which are based on a risk-adjusted return.
