Performance Management - Optimum Fund Trust Classes A, C, Institutional
Mar. 31, 2026
The bar chart and table below provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and the table shows how the Fund’s average annual total returns for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods compare with those of a broad measure of market performance and an additional index with characteristics relevant to the Fund. The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. The returns reflect any expense caps in effect during these periods.
The returns would be lower without the expense caps. Applicable sales charges are reflected in the average annual return table below. You may obtain the Fund’s most recently available month-end performance by calling 800 914-0278 or by visiting our website at optimummutualfunds.com/performance.
