* "Gov't and Gov't Related" may include nominal and inflation-protected Treasuries, Agencies, interest rate swaps, Treasury futures and options, and FDIC-guaranteed corporate securities.** "Net Cash & Equivalents" is defined as any investment grade security with duration less than one year. Periodically these sectors may not be represented in the fund. Sectors are subject to change.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares may be worth more or less than original cost when redeemed.
The Fund intends to invest a substantial portion of its assets in high yield Municipal Bonds and private activity bonds that are rated (at the time of purchase) below investment grade. Shareholders of a municipal bond fund will, at times, incur a tax liability, as income from these funds may be subject to state and local taxes. For shareholders subject to the AMT, distributions derived from private activity bonds must be included in their AMT calculations, and as such a portion of the Fund?s distribution may be subject to federal income tax. Lower rated bonds generally involve a greater risk to principal than higher rated bonds. In an environment where interest rates may trend upward, rising rates will negatively impact most bond funds, and fixed income securities held by a fund are likely to decrease in value.

Risk Section Source: IDS GmbH-Analysis and Reporting Services, an investment analysis and reporting service which is a subsidiary of Allianz SE. This section is based on the actual share class and measures volatility. The overall market is represented by the unmanaged index which is the fund?s official benchmark in its prospectus. Beta measures the market related volatility of a portfolio. The beta of the market is 1 by definition. A beta greater than 1 indicates that a portfolios market risk is greater than the overall markets, while a beta less than 1 indicates a lower market risk. It is important to note that having a low market risk does not necessarily imply low volatility. A portfolio may have a low beta while experiencing volatility due to factors independent of the market. R-squared measures the percentage of a portfolio's movements that are explained by movements in the overall market. Standard deviation is an absolute measure of volatility measuring dispersion about an average which, for a mutual fund, depicts how widely the returns varied over a certain period of time.
The credit quality of the securities in the portfolio is generally calculated by Moody's or S & P; if unrated, the investment manager may determine a comparable rating, which is included in the portfolio breakdown. The credit quality of the investment in the portfolio does not apply to the stability or safety of the fund.
