Past performance does not guarantee future results. Performance represents past performance; current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and
principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. All returns reflect reinvested dividends
and capital gains distributions, but do not reflect the deduction of taxes that an investor would pay on distributions or redemptions. Subject to certain exceptions,
 shares of a Fund redeemed or exchanged within 10 days of purchase are subject to a 2% redemption fee. Performance does not reflect this fee, which if deducted
         would reduce an individual's return. To obtain performance through the most recent month end, call 888-505-5180 or visit heartlandadvisors.com.
