Example
This example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual 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.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
One Year | Three Years | Five Years | Ten Years | |
Class A Shares | $574 | $888 | $1,224 | $2,171 |
Class C Shares | $334 | $712 | $1,220 | $2,615 |
Class T Shares | $402 | $721 | $1,063 | $2,028 |
Institutional Class Shares | $130 | $406 | $702 | $1,545 |
You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
One Year | Three Years | Five Years | Ten Years | |
Class C Shares | $231 | $712 | $1,220 | $2,615 |
As of the Effective Date, all additional references in the Summary Prospectus to the annual management fee and expense limitation arrangement with respect to the Fund are revised as indicated above.
