* Performance Including Maximum Sales Charge- The maximum sales charge for Class A shares is 5.5% (Except: 4.5% for High Yield, Income, Total Return Bond, Tax- Free MN, Tax- Free CA, Tax- Free NY, Tax- Free National, U.S. Government Securities, and the Inflation Plus Fund. 3.0% for Short Duration, and no sales charge for the Money Market Fund). Class B shares reflect the deduction of the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) in years one through six of 5%, 4%, 3%, 3%, 2%, and 1% respectively. Class C shares reflect a 1% CDSC in year one.

Although the fund began offering Class C shares on 08/01/98, the Funds have been in operation since their identified inception dates. The performance figures above are provided to show investors how the Class C shares would have performed had they been offered since the inception of the Fund. The figures are based on the Fund's Class B shares which have similar operating expenses, but different sales charges, to the Class C shares (when applicable, these figures include the effect of sales charges for Class C shares).
