Morningstar rated the Small-Cap Value Fund among 560, 560, 452 and 234 Small Blend funds for the overall rating and the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods (as applicable) ending 09/30/2009, respectively. Morningstar Ratings™ are based on risk-adjusted returns. The Overall Morningstar Rating™ is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with a fund's 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating™ metrics.
1 For funds with at least a 3-year history, a Morningstar Rating™ is based on a risk-adjusted return measure (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees) with emphasis on downward variations and consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% 4 stars, the next 35% 3 stars, the next 22.5% 2 stars, and the bottom 10% 1 star. Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately. Morningstar Rating™ is for the retail share class only; other classes may have different performance characteristics.
