Morningstar Disclaimer

The Morningstar Rating for Funds, commonly known as the star rating, is based on a fund’s past performance relative to its peers. Morningstar rates ETFs and mutual funds from one to five stars, with five being the highest. Ratings are calculated based on a fund’s risk-adjusted return, accounting for variations in monthly performance, with emphasis on downside risk. Only funds with at least a three-year track record are considered. The overall star rating for a fund is a weighted combination calculated from a fund’s 3, 5, and 10-year returns, as available, measured against the 91-day treasury bill and peer group returns. A fund can only be rated if there are a sufficient number of funds in its peer group to allow comparison for at least three years. If a fund scores in the top 10% of its fund category, it gets 5 stars; if it falls in the next 22.5%, it receives 4 stars, a place in the middle 35% earns a fund 3 stars; those in the next 22.5% receive 2 stars; and the lowest 10% receive 1 star. The Ratings are just one factor to consider when investing, are published for informational purposes only and do not constitute investment advice.

The Ratings shown above reflect the performance of Series F as of May 31, 2025, and are subject to change monthly.
