Performance shown prior to the inception of the Institutional Class is that of the AMR Class, which had a similar expense structure and performance to the Institutional Class. Performance shown prior to the inception of the Investor Class is that of the AMR Class to 11/30/05 and the Institutional Class from 11/30/05 to 2/28/06. 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 AMR and Institutional Classes.

The returns have not been adjusted for any difference between the fees and expenses of the Advisor Class and the historical fees and expenses of the AMR, Institutional, and Investor Classes.
