Example

The 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 then redeem your shares at the end of those periods (unless otherwise noted). The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example includes contractual commitments to waive fees and reimburse expenses expiring as indicated in the preceding table. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Class A (whether or not shares are redeemed)
  $691    $1,085    $1,504    $2,666
