are calculated using monthly returns. Returns were achieved by mathematically combining the actual performance data of the indices. Performance quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and
principal value will fluctuate, so you may have a gain or loss when shares are sold. Current performance may be higher or lower than that quoted. All results are historical and assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. It is not possible to
