Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. You would incur these hypothetical expenses whether or not you were to sell your shares at the end of the given period. You may pay brokerage commissions on your purchases and sales of the Fund’s shares, which are not reflected in the Example.
