Investment Goal and Approach
The Fund seeks to provide current
income while maintaining preservation of capital consistent with prudent investment risk.
The Fund is managed conservatively from a credit standpoint, with attention
to yield curve positioning, sector weightings and security selection. The
Manager's goal is to balance risk and return by focusing on the fundamental
and technical analysis of the U.S. Government securities market.

The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares,

* 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.
Class A, B, and C shares commenced operations on February 19, 2002. Share performance prior to February 19, 2002 reflects Class E (inception 2/28/73), M, and N (inception 11/14/94) share performance and operating expenses less Class A, B and C share sales charges, respectively, where applicable. If the Class A, B, and C operating expenses had been applied during that period, performance would have been lower.
