Clicking on a fund name will open a profile which describes the investment, including performance, objectives, statistics, and other fund information from Morningstar, Inc™.
An overall rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating Metrics as of the date stated. The risk-adjusted star rating brings both return and risk together into one evaluation. To determine a fund's star rating for a given period (three, five, or ten years), the fund's Morningstar Risk score is subtracted from its Morningstar Return score. The resulting number is plotted along a bell curve to determine the fund's rating for each time period. If the fund scores in the top 10% of its broad ratings group (domestic stock, international stock, taxable bond, or municipal bond), it receives 5 stars (Highest); if it falls in the next 22.5%, it receives 4 stars (Above Average); a place in the middle 35% earns it 3 stars (Neutral or Average); those in the next 22.5% receive 2 stars (Below Average); and the bottom 10% get 1 star (Lowest). The star ratings are recalculated monthly. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

1 Funds that invest in small and/or mid sized company stocks typically involves greater risks, particularly in the short term, than those investing in more established companies.
2 A rise/fall in the interest rates can have a significant impact on bond prices and the NAV (net asset value) of the fund. Funds that invest in bonds can lose their value as interest rates rise and an investor can lose principal.
3 Foreign investments are subject to additional risks not ordinarily associated with domestic investments (i.e. currency, economic and political risks).
4 Funds that concentrate investments in one industry may involve greater risks than more diversified funds, including greater potential for volatility.
