Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information.
For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating - 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 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 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 three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The Brandes Institutional International Equity Fund was rated against the following numbers of U.S.-domiciled Foreign Large Value funds over the following time periods: 307 funds in the last three years, 258 funds in the last five years, and 151 funds in the last ten years. With respect to these Foreign Large Value funds as of 09/30/2011, The Brandes Institutional International Equity Fund received a Morningstar Rating of 3 stars, 2 stars and 3 stars for the three-, five- and ten-year periods, respectively. The Fund has experienced recent negative returns. For current performance, please view the Performance page of the web site or call 800.395.3807. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
