You may request a copy of the Fund's current Report to Shareholders by
contacting Fund Information at 1-800/DIAL BEN® (1-800-342-5236). Since
markets can go down as well as up, investment return and principal value
will fluctuate with market conditions, currency volatility, and the
economic, social and political climates of countries where the Fund
invests. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same
factors, in addition to those associated with their relatively small
size and lesser liquidity. You may have a gain or loss when you sell
your shares. The industry allocation uses MSCI's industry definitions
for the convenience of comparison. The information provided is as of the
date shown and comes from sources considered reliable, but the Fund
makes no representation or warranty as to its completeness or accuracy.
The Fund's portfolio is actively managed and investment allocations can
be expected to change.
