Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost 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 you redeem your shares at the end of the time periods (unless otherwise indicated); your investment has a 5% return each year; and the fund's operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs will likely be higher or lower, under these assumptions your costs would be:

1 YEAR |
3 YEARS |
5 YEARS |
10 YEARS |
