NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Curasset Capital Management Core Bond Fund and the Curasset Capital Management Limited Term Income Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are diversified series of the World Funds Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 9, 2007 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management company. The Funds offer Class A, Investor Class, Institutional Class and Founders Class shares. As of March 31, 2024, neither Fund had Class A, Investor Class or Institutional Class shares outstanding. Each Fund’s Founders Class commenced operations on December 1, 2021.
The investment objective of the Curasset Capital Management Core Bond Fund (the “Core Bond Fund”) is to provide total return, comprised of income and capital appreciation.
The investment objective of the Curasset Capital Management Limited Term Income Fund (the “Limited Term Income Fund”) is to seek income.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.
Security Valuation
The Funds’ record investments at current market value. Investments in securities traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the last reported sale price. Investments in securities included on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Other securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sales are reported on a given date are valued at the last reported bid price. Debt securities are valued by appraising them at prices supplied by a pricing agent approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), which prices may reflect broker-dealer supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Short-term debt securities (less than 60 days to maturity) are valued at their fair value using amortized cost. Other assets for which market prices are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures set by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Although the Board is ultimately responsible for fair value determinations under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, the Board has delegated day-to-day responsibility for oversight of the valuation of the Fund’s

The value of these securities used in computing the net asset value (“NAV”) is determined as of such times.
The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, to increase comparability of financial information for entities that hold equity securities with contractual restrictions prohibiting the sale of the securities. Currently, there is diversity in practice on the application of a discount to measure fair value when securities have such contractual restrictions. The ASU provides clarity related to this matter. The ASU also adds disclosure requirements related to contractual sale restrictions.
The Trust has a policy that contemplates the use of fair value pricing to determine the NAV per share of the Funds when market prices are unavailable as well as under special circumstances, such as: (i) if the primary market for a portfolio security suspends or limits trading or price movements of the security; and (ii) when an event occurs after the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security is principally traded that is likely to have changed the value of the security. Since most of the Funds’ investments are traded on U.S. securities exchanges, it is anticipated that the use of fair value pricing will be limited.
When the Trust uses fair value pricing to determine the NAV per share of the Funds, securities will not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the Valuation Designee believes accurately reflects fair value. Any method used will be approved by the Board and results will be monitored to evaluate accuracy. The Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of the Funds’ NAV that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. GAAP established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable market-based inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining fair value of investments).

The Funds held no Level 3 securities at any time during the six months ended March 31, 2024.
Security Transactions and Income
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The cost of securities sold is generally determined on a specific identification basis. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost for book and tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method.

Accounting Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Federal Income Taxes
The Funds have complied and intend to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. The Funds also intend to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.
Management has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken in the Funds’ tax returns. The Funds have no examinations in progress and management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Interest and penalties, if any, associated with any federal or state income tax obligations are recorded as income tax expense as incurred.
Reclassification of Capital Accounts
GAAP requires certain components of net assets are reclassified relating to permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expenses or realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes and have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, there were no such reclassifications.
Mortgage-Related Securities
The Funds can buy interests in pools of residential or commercial mortgages in the form of “pass-through” mortgage securities. They may be issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, or its agencies and instrumentalities, or by private issuers. The prices and yields of mortgage-related securities are determined, in part, by assumptions about the rate of payments of the underlying mortgages
43
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
CURASSET CAPITAL MANAGEMENT FUNDS

and are subject to the risks of unanticipated prepayment and extension risks. Mortgage-related securities are also subject to interest rate risk, and the market for mortgage-backed securities may be volatile at times and may be less liquid than the markets for other types of securities. Mortgage-related securities issued by private issuers are not U.S. government securities and are subject to greater credit risks than mortgage related securities that are U.S. government securities. Credit risk is greater for mortgage related securities that are not directly or indirectly guaranteed by a U.S. government-sponsored enterprise (“GSE”) (such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Federal Home Loan Banks, and the Federal Farm Credit Banks). However, GSEs are not guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and in the event that a GSE cannot meet its obligations, there can be no assurance that the U.S. government will provide support. Certain purchases of agency or GSE-guaranteed mortgage-backed securities are forward transactions (called “to-be-announced” or “TBA” transactions) that can settle a month or more after the trade date. If the counterparty to a TBA transaction does not perform its obligation to deliver the specified mortgage-backed securities, the Funds could be required to replace those securities at a higher price. During the settlement period, the Funds will bear the risk of any decline in the value of the security to be delivered. For either purchase or sale transactions, the Funds may choose to extend the settlement through a “dollar roll” transaction in which it sells its current TBA security to a dealer while simultaneously agreeing to buy a TBA security with similar characteristics with a later settlement date. Because these transactions do not require the purchase and sale of identical securities, the characteristics of the security delivered to the Funds may be less favorable than the security delivered to the dealer.
NOTE 2 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreements between the Trust and the Advisor, the Advisor provides investment advisory services to the Funds for an investment management fee equal to 0.36% and 0.44% of the daily net assets of the Core Bond Fund and the Limited Term Income Fund, respectively.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses until January 31, 2025 to keep Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (exclusive of interest, distribution and service fees pursuant to Rule 12b-1 Plans, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend expense on short sales, other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Funds’ business) from exceeding 0.36% of the daily net assets with respect to the Core Bond Fund’s Founders Class shares and 0.44% of the daily net assets with respect to the Limited Term Income Fund’s Founders Class shares. The advisor has also entered into an expense limitation agreement with the Trust to reduce fees and/or reimburse expenses with respect to each of the Fund’s Class A shares, Investor Class shares and Institutional Class shares. The Trust and the Advisor may terminate this limitation expense agreement prior to January 31, 2025 only by mutual written consent. Each waiver and/or reimbursement of an expense by the Advisor is subject to repayment by the applicable Fund within three years following the date such waiver and/or reimbursement was made, provided that the Fund is able to make the repayment without exceeding the expense limitation in place at the time of the waiver or reimbursement and at the time the waiver or reimbursement is recouped.

The Funds have adopted a Distribution and Service Plan Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “12b-1 Plan”) for the Class A and Investor Class shares. Pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan, the Funds may finance from the assets of a particular class certain activities or expenses that are intended primarily to result in the sale of shares of such class. The fee paid pursuant to the 12b-1 plan by each class is computed on an annualized basis reflecting the average daily net assets of a class, up to a maximum of 0.25% for Class A and Investor Class Shares. Because these fees are paid out of a class’s assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost more than paying other types of sales charges.
The 12b-1 Plan, while primarily intended to compensate for shareholder services and expenses, was adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment

Company Act of 1940, and it therefore may be used to pay for certain expenditures related to financing distribution-related activities for each of the Funds.
The Funds have adopted a shareholder services plan with respect to their Class A, Investor and Institutional Class Shares. Under the shareholder services plan, the Funds may pay an authorized firm up to 0.25% on an annualized basis of its average daily net assets attributable to its customers who are shareholders. For this fee, the authorized firms may provide a variety of services, including but not limited to: (i) arranging for bank wires; (ii) responding to inquiries from shareholders concerning their investment in the Fund; (iii) assisting shareholders in changing dividend options, account designations and addresses; (iv) providing information periodically to shareholders showing their position in shares; (v) forwarding shareholder communications from the Fund such as proxies, shareholder reports, annual reports, and dividend distribution and tax notices to shareholders; (vi) processing purchase, exchange and redemption requests from shareholders and placing orders with the Fund or its service providers; (vii) providing sub-accounting with respect to shares beneficially owned by shareholders; and (viii) processing dividend payments from the Fund on behalf of shareholders.
No fees were incurred by the Funds under the 12b-1 Plan or shareholder services plan during the six months ended March 31, 2024.
Commonwealth Fund Services, Inc. (“CFS”) acts as the Funds’ administrator, transfer and dividend disbursing agent and fund accountant. Fees to CFS are computed daily and paid monthly. For the six months ended March 31, 2024, the following fees were incurred by each Fund to CFS:

NOTE 4 – DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL
Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes.
The tax character of distributions paid during the six months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended September 30, 2023 were as follows:

RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
At a meeting held on November 9, 2023 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (“Board”) of the World Funds Trust (the “Trust”) considered the approval of the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Curasset Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and Curasset Capital Management, LLC on behalf of the Curasset Capital Management Core Bond Fund and the Curasset Capital Management Limited Term Income Fund (the “Curasset Capital Funds”).
At the Meeting, the Board reviewed among other things, a memorandum from the Trust’s legal counsel (“Counsel”) that summarized the fiduciary duties and responsibilities of the Trustees regarding the renewal of the Curasset Advisory Agreement, Curasset Capital Management’s 15(c) Response, Curasset Capital Management’s financial information, a fee comparison analysis for the Curasset Capital Funds and comparable mutual funds, and the Curasset Advisory Agreement. The Trustees considered the types of information and factors that should be considered by the Board in order to make an informed decision regarding the approval of the Curasset Advisory Agreement, including the following material factors: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Curasset Capital Management; (ii) the investment performance of the Curasset Capital Funds and Curasset Capital Management; (iii) the costs of the services provided and profits realized by Curasset Capital Management from the relationship with the Curasset Capital Funds; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the Curasset Capital Funds grow and whether advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of

Supplemental Information (unaudited)
the Curasset Capital Funds’ investors; and (v) Curasset Capital Management’s practices regarding possible conflicts of interest and other benefits derived by Curasset Capital Management.
In assessing these factors and reaching its decisions, the Board took into consideration information furnished for the Board’s review and consideration throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information specifically prepared and/or presented in connection with the annual renewal process, including information presented to the Board in Curasset Capital Management’s presentation earlier in the Meeting. The Board requested and was provided with information and reports relevant to the annual renewal of the Curasset Advisory Agreement, including: (i) reports regarding the services and support provided to the Curasset Capital Funds and its shareholders by Curasset Capital Management; (ii) quarterly assessments of the investment performance of the Curasset Capital Funds by personnel of Curasset Capital Management; (iii) commentary on the reasons for the performance; (iv) presentations by Curasset Capital Management on its investment strategy, personnel and operations; (v) compliance reports concerning the Curasset Capital Funds and Curasset Capital Management; (vi) disclosure information contained in the registration statement of the Trust and the Form ADV of Curasset Capital Management; and (vii) the memorandum from Counsel, that summarized the fiduciary duties and responsibilities of the Board in reviewing and approving the Curasset Advisory Agreement, including the material factors set forth above and the types of information included in each factor that should be considered by the Board in order to make an informed decision.
The Board also requested and received various informational materials including, without limitation: (i) documents containing information about Curasset Capital Management, including financial information, a description of its personnel and the services provided to the Curasset Capital Funds, information on investment advice, performance, summaries of Curasset Capital Funds’ expenses, its compliance program, current legal matters (if any), and other general information; (ii) comparative expense and performance information for other mutual funds with strategies similar to the Curasset Capital Funds; and (iii) benefits to be realized by Curasset Capital Management from its relationship with the Curasset Capital Funds. The Board did not identify any particular information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the Curasset Advisory Agreement and each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors. In deciding whether to approve the Curasset Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered numerous factors, including:

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
World Funds Trust (the “Trust”)
Supplemental Information (unaudited)
1.The nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by Curasset Capital Management.
In this regard, the Board considered the responsibilities of Curasset Capital Management under the Curasset Advisory Agreement. The Board reviewed the services provided by Curasset Capital Management to the Curasset Funds including, without limitation, the qualifications and abilities of Curasset Capital Management’s personnel and services provided to the Curasset Funds; the investment strategies and techniques used in managing the Funds and Curasset Capital Management’s process for formulating investment recommendations and assuring compliance with the Curasset Funds’ investment objectives, strategies, and limitations; its coordination of services for the Curasset Funds among the Funds’ service providers; and its efforts to promote the Curasset Funds and grow their assets. After reviewing the foregoing and information provided by Curasset Capital Management at the Board Meeting, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Curasset Capital Management was satisfactory and adequate for the Curasset Funds.
2.Investment Performance of the Curasset Funds and Curasset Capital Management.
The Board considered the Funds’ performance returns as compared to each Fund’s Morningstar category, the Intermediate Core Bond category for the Curasset Capital Management Core Bond Fund and the Short-Term Bond category for the Curasset Capital Management Limited-Term Income Fund. The Board noted that the performance of the Curasset Capital Management Core Bond Fund and the Curasset Capital Management Limited-Term Income Fund placed each Fund in the top quartile of comparative funds in their Morningstar category for the one-year period ended September 30, 2023.
The Board further considered that the Curasset Capital Management Core Bond Fund’s performance return during the one-year period ended September 30, 2023 of 2.65% exceeded the performance of the Fund’s benchmark index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Total Return Index. With respect to the Curasset Capital Management Limited Term Income Fund, the Board observed that its performance return of 4.73% exceeded the performance of the Fund’s benchmark index, the Bloomberg U.S. Government/Credit 1-3 Year Total Return Index. Curasset Capital Management does not manage any other accounts with investment objectives similar to the Funds. Based on the foregoing, the Board concluded that the investment performance of each Fund was satisfactory.

3.The costs of services provided and profits realized by Curasset Capital Management from the relationship with the Curasset Funds.
In this regard, the Board considered: the financial condition of Curasset Capital Management and the level of commitment to the Curasset Funds by Curasset Capital Management and its principals; the profitability of Curasset Capital Management in providing advisory services to the Curasset Funds; and the expenses of the Curasset Funds, including the nature and frequency of advisory fee payments. The Board compared the advisory fees and expenses of the Curasset Funds to other funds comparable to them in terms of the type of fund, the style of investment management, the size of fund and the nature of the investment strategy and markets invested in, among other factors. The Board noted that with respect to the Curasset Capital Management Core Bond Fund, while the gross advisory fee is higher than the Broadridge peer group and category median, the Fund’s net advisory fee is below these respective medians. With respect to the Curasset Capital Management Limited Term Income Fund, the Board noted that while the Fund’s gross advisory fee is higher than the Broadridge peer group and category medians, the Fund’s net advisory fee was slightly higher than the peer group median and lower than the category median net advisory fee. The Board noted that the Curasset Capital Management Core Bond Fund’s net expenses are lower than the net expenses of the Broadridge peer group and category medians, while the Fund’s gross expenses are lower than the peer group median and higher than the category median. The Curasset Capital Management Limited Term Income Fund’s net expenses are lower than the net expenses of the Broadridge peer group and category medians, while the Fund’s gross expenses are higher than both the Broadridge peer group and category medians. The Board observed that the Curasset Funds currently are the only funds launched by Curasset Capital Management.
The Board observed that pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, Curasset Capital Management is recommending limiting expenses for the Curasset Capital Management Core Bond Fund’s Founders Class shares, Institutional Class shares, Investor Class shares and Class A shares such that total annual fund operating expenses do not exceed 0.36%, 0.66%, 0.51% and 0.66%, respectively, until January 31, 2025. Further the Board also observed that pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement, Curasset Capital Management is recommending limiting expenses for the Curasset Capital Management Limited Term Income Fund’s Founders Class shares, Institutional Class shares, Investor Class shares and Class A shares such that total annual fund operating expenses do not exceed 0.44%, 0.74%, 0.59% and 0.74%, respectively, until January 31, 2025. Following this comparison and upon further consideration and discussion

of the Curasset Funds’ advisory fees and expense, the Board concluded that the advisory fees paid to Curasset Capital Management pursuant to the Curasset Advisory Agreement were reasonable based on the nature, extent and quality of advisory services provided to the Curasset Funds.
4.The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Curasset Funds grow and whether advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Funds’ investors.
In this regard, the Board considered the Curasset Funds’ fee arrangements with Curasset Capital Management. The Board noted that the advisory fee would stay the same as asset levels increased, although Curasset Capital Management had entered into an expense limitation arrangement pursuant to which it agreed to cap the total annual fund operating expenses of the Curasset Capital Management Core Bond Fund and the Curasset Capital Management Limited Term Income Fund. Following further discussion of the Curasset Funds’ current asset levels and expectations for growth, the Board determined that the Funds’ fee arrangements with Curasset were fair and reasonable in relation to the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided by Curasset Capital Management.
5.Possible conflicts of interest and other benefits.
In evaluating the possibility for conflicts of interest, the Board considered such matters as: the experience and ability of the advisory personnel assigned to the Curasset Funds; and the substance and administration of Curasset’s Code of Ethics and other relevant policies described in Curasset’s compliance policies. The Board considered that Curasset indicated that managing registered funds could help increase awareness of Curasset Capital Management and, though it does not currently have any separately managed accounts under management, it may be interested in offering such products in the future. Following further consideration and discussion, the Board indicated that Curasset Capital Management’s standards and practices relating to the identification and mitigation of potential conflicts of interest, as well as the benefits to be derived by Curasset Capital Management from managing the Curasset Funds were satisfactory.
After additional consideration of the factors delineated in the memorandum provided by Counsel and further discussion and careful review by the Board, the Board determined that the compensation payable under the Curasset Advisory Agreement was fair, reasonable and within a range of what could have been negotiated at arms-length in light of all the surrounding circumstances, and the Curassset Advisory Agreement was approved for an additional one-year term.

FUNDS’ LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program as required by Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act. The program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk, taking into consideration the Funds’ investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings. The Funds’ Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Advisor as the Funds’ Liquidity Risk Management Administrator. The Advisor has appointed representatives from their compliance, trading, and portfolio management departments to assist in the program’s administration and oversight and for reporting to the Board on at least an annual basis regarding the program’s operation and effectiveness. The Liquidity Risk Management Administrator performed an assessment of the Funds’ liquidity risk profile, considering information gathered and its actual experience in administering the program and presented a written report to the Board of Trustees for consideration during the period covered by this semi-annual report. The report concluded that (i) the Funds did not experience significant liquidity challenges during the covered period; (ii) the Funds’ investment strategies remain appropriate for an open-end fund; and (iii) the Funds’ liquidity risk management program is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk.

Fund Expenses (unaudited)
Fund Expenses Example
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase of Class A shares, deferred sales charges on certain redemptions made within 18 months of purchase of Class A shares and redemption fees on certain redemptions made within 60 days of purchase of Class A shares and Investor Class shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period, October 1, 2023 and held for the six months ended March 31, 2024.
Actual Expenses Example
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000= 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
