The following is added to "Performance":
Investors may be provided with information concerning Fund volatility or risk,
including but not limited to beta, standard deviation and Sharpe ratio. Beta is
a measure of risk which shows Fund volatility relative to a market index. A fund
with a beta of 1 would perform exactly like the market index; a beta of 2 would
mean its performance was twice as volatile as the index, positive or negative.
Standard deviation is a measure of a security's volatility, or variability, in
expected return. Sharpe ratio is a measure of risk-adjusted performance. The
higher the Sharpe ratio the better a fund's historical risk-adjusted return.
Information concerning Fund distribution payments (or the payment record of
issuers in which the Fund may invest) may also be provided to investors.
