Decile rank shows performance for each of the past five 12-month periods through the end of June, 2006, compared with other funds using the same investment style. Funds are ranked 1 (top 10%) to 10 (bottom 10%).
Down market shows returns from March 24, 2000, through October 9, 2002, the last bear market for stocks.
Volatility rank measures volatility of all stock funds on a scale of 1 (least volatile) to 10 (most volatile).
Maximum load tells you the highest sales fee for purchasing shares. Returns do not reflect loads.
