MSCI EAFE® measures total market performance, including price appreciation and income from net-dividend payments.

Investors cannot invest directly in an index and unmanaged index returns do not reflect any fees, expenses or sales charges. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The index is not managed and not subject to management or brokerage commission. Dividends are subject to reinvestment. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against market loss.

The managers invest the portfolios primarily in ADRs, but may also make limited investments in U.S.-traded stocks of non-U.S. and U.S. companies engaged in significant non-U.S. business. These limited investments may include U.S.-traded stocks that result from the conversion of ADRs, as well as other U.S.-traded stocks.
