Ratings

Morningstar Rating

Overall BGF US Flexible Equity Fund received a Morningstar Rating of 3 stars for the 3-year period, 3 stars for the 5-year period and 2 stars for the 10-year period, rated against 1322, 1018 and 643 US Large-Cap Blend Equity Funds, respectively. Performance results represent past performance and are no guarantee of future results.<br /><br />For each U.S.-domiciled fund with at least a 3-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar RatingTM based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive five stars, the next 22.5% receive four stars, the next 35% receive three stars, the next 22.5% receive two stars and the bottom 10% receive one star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted-average of the performance figures associated with its 3-, 5- and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.<br /><br />Morningstar Ratings are for the share classes cited only; other classes may have different ratings.
