Securities of the Fund may only be sold by offering the Fund’s
Prospectus and Summary Prospectus. You should consider the
investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund
carefully before investing. The Prospectus and Summary
Prospectus contains this and additional information regarding the
Fund. To obtain a Prospectus and Summary Prospectus, please

Prospectus should be read carefully before investing.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
There is no guarantee that the investment objectives will be met. Indices are
unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. Investing in debt
securities entails interest rate risk which is the risk that debt securities
will decrease in value with increases in market interest rates. Performance
shown prior to the 3/2/09 inception of the Investor Class is that of the
Institutional Class. The returns have not been adjusted for any difference
between the fees and expenses of the Investor Class and the historical fees and
expenses of the Institutional Class. Because the Institutional Class had lower
expenses, its performance was better than the Investor Class would have realized
during the same period. A portion of the fees charged to the Fund has been
waived. Performance prior to waiving fees was lower than the actual returns
shown. Performance shown reflects the Fund’s receipt in December 2006 and March
2008 of class action settlement proceeds that were related to investment
activity in 2002. The Fund’s performance that includes December 2006 was higher
than it would have been absent receipt of the settlement proceeds. Performance
shown prior to the 3/1/10 inception of the Y Class is that of the Institutional
Class. The returns have not been adjusted for any difference between the fees
and expenses of the Y Class and the historical fees and expenses of the
Institutional Class. Because the Institutional Class had lower expenses, its
performance was better than the Y Class would have realized during the same
period. Performance shown prior to the 5/17/10 inception of the A Class is that
of the Investor Class. The returns have not been adjusted for any difference
between the fees and expenses of the A Class and the historical fees and
expenses of the Investor Class. Because the Investor Class had lower expenses,
its performance was better than the A Class would have realized during the same
period. Maximum Sales Charge is the maximum frontend sales charge (load) imposed
on purchases (as a % of offering price). *Annualized. **The Lipper Intermediate
Investment Grade Debt Funds Index tracks the results of the 30 largest mutual
funds in the Lipper Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Funds category. Lipper is
an independent mutual fund research and ranking service. *** The Barclays
Capital Aggregate Index is a market value weighted performance benchmark for
government, corporate, mortgage-backed and asset-backed fixed-rate debt
securities of all maturities. Duration is a measure of price sensitivity
relative to changes in interest rates. The four highest Moody’s ratings for
long-term obligations (or issuers thereof) are Aaa, Aa, A and Baa. Obligations
rated Aaa are judged to be of the highest quality, with minimal credit risk.
Obligations rated Aa are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very
low credit risk. Obligations rated A are considered upper-medium grade and are
subject to low credit risk. Obligations rated Baa are subject to moderate credit
risk. They are considered medium-grade and as such may possess certain
speculative characteristics. Moody’s appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to
each generic rating classification from Aa through Caa. The modifier 1 indicates
that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the
modifier 2 indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking
in the lower end of that generic rating category. Duration is a measure of price
sensitivity relative to changes in interest rates.
