KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF

Investment Objective

The KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond to the price and yield performance of a specific foreign equity securities benchmark. The Fund’s current benchmark is the MSCI China A International Index (the “Underlying Index”).

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The following table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. This table does not include the brokerage commissions that you may pay when purchasing or selling shares of the Fund.

 
Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)     None  
Annual Fund Operating Expenses*
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
        
Management Fees     0.78 % 
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees**     0.00 % 
Other Expenses     0.24 % 
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses     1.02 % 
Fee Waiver***     0.10 % 
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver     0.92 % 

* The expense information in the table has been restated to reflect current expenses, including: (1) a reduction in the management fee rate under the Investment Advisory Agreement; (2) a reduction in the expense cap under the Expense Limitation Agreement; and (3) a reduction in the amount of gains accrued for Chinese taxes.
** Pursuant to a Distribution Plan, the Fund may bear a Rule 12b-1 fee not to exceed 0.25% per year of the Fund’s average daily net assets. However, no such fee is currently paid by the Fund, and the Board of Trustees has not currently approved the commencement of any payments under the Distribution Plan.
*** Pursuant to the terms of an Expense Limitation Agreement, Krane Funds Advisors, LLC (“Krane”), the Fund’s investment manager, has contractually agreed to reduce its management fee to 0.68% of the Fund’s average daily net assets until July 31, 2017. The Expense Limitation Agreement may only be terminated prior to July 31, 2017 by the Board upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to Krane.

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 sell 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 (including the amounts waived by Krane under the Expenses Limitation Agreement for the time period described above) remain the same. The Example does not reflect any brokerage commissions that you may pay on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your cost would be:

     
1 Year   3 Years   5 Years   10 Years
$94   $311   $549   $1,235

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 110% of the average value of its portfolio. This rate excludes the value of portfolio securities received or delivered as a result of in-kind creations or redemptions of the Fund’s shares.

Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund

In order to seek to track the Underlying Index, under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in securities of the Underlying Index and depositary receipts, including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), representing such securities. The Underlying Index is a free-float adjusted market capitalization weighted index and represents large-cap and mid-cap Chinese securities (“A Shares”). Free-float market capitalization is calculated by multiplying a security’s price by the number of shares available in the market, rather than the total number of shares outstanding. As of June 30, 2015, the Underlying Index included approximately 358 securities of companies with a market capitalization range of $1.9 billion to $377 billion and an average market capitalization of $15.4 billion. A Shares are equity securities issued by companies incorporated in mainland China and are traded in renminbi (“RMB”) on the Shenzhen or Shanghai Stock Exchanges. Under current regulations in the People’s Republic of China (“China” or the “PRC”), foreign investors can invest in A Shares only through certain institutional investors that have obtained a license and quota from the Chinese regulators or the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect program. Bosera Asset Management (International) Co., Ltd. (“Bosera”), the Fund’s Co-Adviser, has received a license as a Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (“RQFII”) from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”) and has received an initial A Shares quota by China’s State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) for use by the investment products it manages, including the Fund. Bosera may also obtain a license on behalf of the Fund as a Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (“QFII”). Bosera, on behalf of the investment products it manages, may invest in A Shares and other permitted China securities listed on the Shanghai or Shenzhen Stock Exchanges up to the relevant A Shares quota(s). The Fund may also invest in A Shares through the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect program.

In managing the Fund, Bosera uses a “passive” investment strategy — meaning that Bosera does not attempt to select securities based on their individual potential to outperform the Underlying Index or the market. In seeking to track the performance of the Underlying Index, Bosera intends to employ a representative sampling strategy on behalf of the Fund, which means that the Fund will typically invest in a representative sample of securities that collectively have an investment profile similar to the Underlying Index. Bosera performs this function at its discretion, subject to the investment strategy and restrictions of the Fund and oversight by Krane Funds Advisors, LLC (“Krane”) and the Board of Trustees. The Fund’s securities are expected to have, in the aggregate, investment characteristics (based on factors such as market capitalization and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics (such as return variability and yield) and liquidity measures similar to those of the Underlying Index. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not try to “beat” the Underlying Index and does not seek temporary defensive positions when markets decline or appear overvalued.

The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in investments that are not included in the Underlying Index, but which Krane and/or Bosera believes will help the Fund track the Underlying Index. These investments include B shares of companies whose A Shares are in the Underlying Index, B shares of other companies listed on the Shanghai or Shenzhen Stock Exchanges, H shares of companies incorporated in mainland China and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, shares of Red Chip companies with controlling Chinese shareholders that are incorporated outside of mainland China and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, shares of China-related companies listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, depository receipts representing securities not in the Underlying Index, derivative instruments, including swaps and futures contracts, including index futures, investment company securities, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), and cash or cash equivalents, including money market funds. The Fund may also invest in cash and cash equivalents given or in anticipation of any reduced liquidity in the A Shares market.

No more than 5% of the Fund’s net assets will be invested in any other investment company, and no more than 10% of the Fund’s net assets will be invested in other investment companies generally.

To the extent the Underlying Index is concentrated in a particular industry, the Fund will necessarily be concentrated in that industry. As of June 30, 2015, the Underlying Index was concentrated in the financial services sector and had significant exposure to the industrials and consumer discretionary sectors. The Underlying Index is provided by MSCI, Inc., a U.S. (Delaware) corporation.

Principal Risks

As with all ETFs, a shareholder of the Fund is subject to the risk that his or her investment could lose money. The Fund may not achieve its investment objective and an investment in the Fund is not by itself a complete or balanced investment program. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit with a bank and is not insured or

3


 
 

KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF

guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. In addition to these risks, the Fund is subject to a number of additional risks that may affect the value of its shares, including:

Authorized Participants Concentration Risk.  The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that may act as Authorized Participants. To the extent they cannot or are otherwise unwilling to engage in creation and redemption transactions with the Fund and no other Authorized Participant steps in, shares of the Fund may trade like closed-end fund shares at a significant discount to net asset value and may face delisting from the Exchange.

China Risk.  The Fund’s investments are concentrated in China, and therefore the Fund will be susceptible to adverse market, political, regulatory, and geographic events affecting China. The Chinese economy is generally considered an emerging market and can be significantly affected by economic and political conditions and policy in China and surrounding Asian countries. In addition, the Chinese economy is export-driven and highly reliant on trade. A downturn in the economies of China’s primary trading partners could slow or eliminate the growth of the Chinese economy and adversely impact the Fund’s investments. The Chinese government strictly regulates the payment of foreign currency denominated obligations and sets monetary policy, and may introduce new laws and regulations that have an adverse effect on the Fund. Although China has begun the process of privatizing certain sectors of its economy, privatized entities may lose money and/or be re-nationalized. Accordingly, an investment in the Fund involves a risk of total loss. In the Chinese securities markets, a small number of issuers may represent a large portion of the entire market. The Chinese securities markets are characterized by relatively frequent trading halts and low trading volume, resulting in substantially less liquidity and greater price volatility. These risks may be more pronounced for the A Share market than for Chinese securities markets generally because the A Share market is subject to greater government restrictions and control, including the risk of nationalization or expropriation of private assets which could result in a total loss of an investment in the Fund. However, the risks associated with investing in China apply whether the Fund invests in A Shares, B shares, H shares, Red Chips, or shares of China-related companies listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, or if the Fund obtains exposure to China through depositary receipts or derivative instruments designed to obtain exposure to Chinese companies.

Specific Risks of Investing in the A-Shares Market

The Fund may invest in A Shares through the use of an RQFII or QFII license and A Share quota or through the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect program or a similar program, such as the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect program. Thus, the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective by tracking the performance of the Underlying Index is dependent on the continuous availability of A Shares and may also be dependent upon Bosera’s ability to maintain a continuous supply of A Shares quota and willingness to allocate sufficient portions of that quota for the Fund’s use. If the QFII/RQFII A Share quota is not used within a limited time period, it may be lost or reduced. The QFII, RQFII, and Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect programs are exceptions to Chinese law, which generally restricts restricting foreign investment in A Shares. These programs were only recently announced and are novel. Chinese regulators may alter or eliminate these programs at any time. Should the amount of A Shares available for purchase by the Fund be or become inadequate to meet the investment needs of the Fund or if Bosera is unable to maintain its RQFII or QFII status or fails to allocate sufficient quota for the Fund’s use, the Fund is expected to be adversely affected. In addition, the A Share quota may be reduced or revoked by the Chinese regulators if, among other things, Bosera fails to observe SAFE and other applicable Chinese regulations, which could lead to other adverse consequences, including the requirement that the Fund dispose of its A Shares holdings at an inopportune time.

If the Fund is unable to obtain sufficient exposure to the performance of the Underlying Index due to the limited availability of A Shares, the Fund could seek exposure to the component securities of the Underlying Index by investing in depositary receipts, H shares or B shares on the component securities. The Fund may also use derivatives or invest in ETFs that provide comparable exposures. If necessary, the Fund may suspend the sale of shares in Creation Units until Krane and Bosera determine that the requisite exposure to the component securities of the Underlying Index is obtainable. During the period that creations are suspended, Fund shares may trade at a significant premium or discount to net asset value (the “NAV”). Alternatively, the Fund may change its investment objective and track another index of Chinese-related stocks. In extreme circumstances beyond the control of the Fund, the Fund may incur significant losses due

4


 
 

KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF

to limited investment capabilities, including based on investment restrictions on RQFIIs and QFIIs (if a QFII license is obtained), illiquidity of the Chinese securities markets, or delay or disruption in execution or settlement of trades.

A Shares may be subject to more frequent and/or extended trading halts than other exchange-traded securities.

Custody Risks.  In accordance with Chinese regulations and the terms of the RQFII or QFII license, A Shares are held in the joint names of the Fund and Bosera. While Bosera may not use such an account for any purpose other than for maintaining the Fund’s assets, the Fund’s assets may not be as well protected as they would be if it were possible for them to be registered and held solely in the name of the Fund. There is a risk that creditors of Bosera may assert that the securities are owned by Bosera and that regulatory actions taken against Bosera by PRC government authorities may affect the Fund.

Tax Risk.  Per a circular (Caishui [2014] 79), the Fund is expected to be temporarily exempt from the capital gains PRC WHT on trading in A Shares as of November 17, 2014. There is no indication as to how long the temporary exemption will remain in effect. Accordingly, the Fund may be subject to such taxes in the future. If Krane expects such WHT on trading in A Shares to be imposed, Krane reserves the right to establish a reserve for such tax. If the Fund establishes such a reserve but is not ultimately subject to the tax, shareholders who redeemed or sold their shares while the reserve was in place will effectively bear the tax and may not benefit from the later release, if any, of the reserve. Conversely, if the Fund does not establish such a reserve but ultimately is subject to the tax, shareholders who redeemed or sold their shares prior to the tax being withheld, reserved or paid will have effectively avoided the tax, even if they benefited from the trading that precipitated the Fund’s payment of it.

The PRC WHT on dividends and interest, if any, is normally withheld by the Fund’s custodian bank. To the extent such WHT was not withheld by the Fund’s custodian bank, however, Krane has made or would generally need to make relevant provision for the tax on dividends from A Shares and any relevant interest.

Concentration Risk.  To the extent that the Fund’s investments are concentrated in a particular industry (because the Underlying Index is concentrated in such industry), the Fund will be susceptible to loss due to adverse occurrences affecting that industry to a greater extent than if the Fund’s assets were invested in a wider variety of industries.

Financial Services Sector Risk.  The Underlying Index, and thus the Fund, may be concentrated in the financial services sector. Performance of companies in the financial services sector may be adversely impacted by many factors, including, among others, government regulations, economic conditions, credit rating downgrades, changes in interest rates, and decreased liquidity in credit markets. This sector has experienced significant losses in the recent past, and the impact of more stringent capital requirements and of recent or future regulation on any individual financial company or on the sector as a whole cannot be predicted.

Currency, Capital Controls and Currency Conversion Risk.  Economic conditions and political events may lead to foreign government intervention and the imposition of additional or renewed capital controls, which may impact the ability of the Fund to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities or currency, and limit the Fund’s ability to pay redemptions, and cause the Fund to decline in value. Although the RMB is not presently freely convertible, rather it is subject to the approval of SAFE and other relevant authorities, repatriations by RQFIIs are permitted daily and Chinese authorities have indicated their plans to move to a fully freely convertible RMB. There is no assurance, however, that repatriation restrictions will not be (re-)imposed in the future. Because the Fund’s NAV is determined on the basis of U.S. dollars, the Fund may lose value if the RMB depreciates against the U.S. dollar, even if the local currency value of the Fund’s holdings goes up.

The Fund may also be subject to delays in converting or transferring U.S. dollars to RMB for the purpose of purchasing A Shares. This may hinder the Fund’s performance, including because any delay could result in the Fund missing an investment opportunity and purchasing securities at a higher price than originally intended, or incurring cash drag.

Depositary Receipt Risk.  The Fund may hold the securities of Chinese and other non-U.S. companies in the form of depositary receipts, including ADRs. The underlying securities of the depositary receipts in the Fund’s portfolio are subject to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that may affect the value of the Fund’s portfolio. In addition, the value of the securities underlying the depositary receipts may change materially when

5


 
 

KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF

the U.S. markets are not open for trading, which will affect the value of the depositary receipts. Like direct investments in foreign securities, investments in depositary receipts involve political and economic risks distinct from those associated with investing in the securities of U.S. issuers.

Derivatives Risk, Including the Risk of Investments in Swaps and Futures.  The Fund may invest in swaps or futures in seeking to track the performance of the Underlying Index. Investments in such derivatives linked to the performance of A Shares are subject to general risks associated with A Shares and the Chinese regulatory system. Because a swap is an obligation of the counterparty rather than a direct investment in A Shares, the Fund may suffer losses potentially equal to, or greater than, the full value of the swap if the counterparty fails to perform its obligations under the swap. Counterparty risks are compounded by the fact that there are only a limited number of options available to invest in A Shares and, therefore, there may be few counterparties to swaps based on A Shares. Investments in futures or swaps may expose the Fund to leverage, which may cause the Fund to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged.

Emerging Markets Risk.  The Fund’s investments in emerging markets are subject to greater risk of loss than investments in developed markets. This is due to, among other things, greater market volatility, lower trading volume, political and economic instability, greater risk of market shutdown and more governmental limitations on foreign investments than typically found in developed markets.

Equity Securities Risk.  An investment in the Fund involves risks similar to those of investing in any fund holding equity securities, such as market fluctuations, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. Equity securities are subject to volatile changes in value and their values may be more volatile than other asset classes.

ETF Cash Transactions Risk.  Like other ETFs, the Fund sells and redeems its shares only in large blocks called Creation Units and only to “Authorized Participants.” Unlike many other ETFs, however, the Fund expects to effect all of its creations and redemptions for cash, rather than in-kind securities. Thus, an investment in the Fund may be less tax-efficient than an investment in other ETFs as the Fund may recognize a capital gain that it could avoid by making redemptions in-kind. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gains distributions than ETFs that redeem in-kind. Further, paying redemption proceeds in cash rather than through in-kind delivery of portfolio securities may require the Fund to dispose of or sell portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds at an inopportune time.

Foreign Securities Risk.  Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers involve certain risks that may not be present with investments in securities of U.S. issuers, such as risk of loss due to foreign currency fluctuations or to political or economic instability. There may be less information publicly available about non-U.S issuers. Non-U.S. issuers may also be subject to different accounting, auditing, financial reporting and investor protection standards than U.S. issuers.

Income from securities of non-U.S. issuers, including, in the case of Chinese issuers, gains on the sale of such securities, may be subject to foreign taxes. Even if the Fund qualifies to pass these taxes through to shareholders, your ability to claim a credit for such taxes may be limited, particularly in the case of taxes on capital gains. Investments in foreign securities may be less liquid than investments in U.S. securities.

Investment in Investment Companies Risk.  The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in shares of other investment companies, including ETFs, provided that it does not own more than 3% of any one company or invest more than 5% of its assets in any one company. As a result of such investments, the Fund will indirectly be exposed to the risks of investments by such funds. Moreover, the Fund will incur its pro rata share of the underlying investment companies’ expenses.

International Closed Market Trading Risk.  Because the Fund’s underlying securities trade on markets that may be closed when the Exchange is open, there are likely to be deviations between current pricing of an underlying security and stale pricing resulting in the Fund trading at a discount or premium to net asset value that may be greater than those incurred by other exchange-traded funds.

Large-Capitalization Risk.  Returns on investments in securities of large companies could trail the returns on investments in securities of small and mid-sized companies.

Liquidity Risk.  The Fund’s investments, and particularly its investments in A Shares, are subject to liquidity risk, which exists when an investment is or becomes difficult to purchase or sell. If a transaction is particularly

6


 
 

KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF

large or if the relevant market is illiquid, it may not be possible to initiate a transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price, which may result in significant losses to the Fund.

Management Risk.  Because the Fund generally employs a representative sampling strategy to track the performance of the Underlying Index and invests less than the total number of securities in the Underlying Index, the Fund is subject to management risk. This is the risk that Bosera’s security selection process may not produce the intended results.

Market Risk.  The values of securities in the Underlying Index could decline generally or could underperform other investments. In addition, there is a risk that policy changes by the U.S. Government, Federal Reserve, and/or other government actors, such as increasing interest rates, could cause increased volatility in global financial markets and higher levels of Fund redemptions, which could have a negative impact on the Fund.

Mid-Capitalization Risk.  Investing in the securities of medium capitalization companies involves greater risk and the possibility of greater price volatility than investing in larger capitalization companies and more established companies. Since medium-sized companies may have limited operating histories, product lines and financial resources, the securities of these companies may lack sufficient market liquidity and can be sensitive to expected changes in interest rates, borrowing costs and earnings.

New Adviser Risk.  Bosera registered as an investment adviser relatively recently and had not previously advised a registered investment company prior to serving as the Co-Adviser of the Fund.

Passive Investment Risk.  The Fund is not actively managed and therefore may not sell a security due to current or projected underperformance of a security, industry or sector. The Fund’s use of a representative sampling approach may result in it holding a smaller number of securities than are in the Underlying Index. As a result, an adverse development to an issuer of securities that the Fund holds could result in a greater decline in NAV than would be the case if the Fund held more of the securities in the Underlying Index.

Portfolio Turnover Risk.  The Fund may incur high turnover rates, which may increase the Fund’s brokerage commission costs and negatively impact the Fund’s performance. Such portfolio turnover also may generate net short-term capital gains.

Secondary Market Trading Risk.  Investors buying or selling shares in the secondary market will normally pay brokerage commissions, which are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors buying or selling relatively small amounts of shares. Secondary market trading in Fund shares may be halted by the Exchange because of market conditions or other reasons. If a trading halt occurs, a shareholder may temporarily be unable to purchase or sell shares of the Fund. In addition, although the Fund’s shares are listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for shares will develop or be maintained.

Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect Program Risk.  The Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect program is subject to daily and aggregate quota limitations, and an investor cannot purchase and sell the same security on the same trading day, which may restrict the Fund’s ability to invest in A Shares through the program and to enter into or exit trades on a timely basis. The Shanghai market may be open at a time when the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect program is not active, with the result that prices of A Shares may fluctuate at times when the Fund is unable to add to or exit its positions. Because the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect program is new, the actual effect on the market for trading A Shares with the introduction of large numbers of foreign investors is unknown. Further, regulations or restrictions, such as limitations on redemptions or suspension of trading, may adversely impact the program. There is no guarantee that the Shanghai and Hong Kong Stock Exchanges will continue to support the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect program in the future.

Any future stock connect program, such as the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect program, would be subject to similar risks.

Shares of the Fund May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV.  Although it is expected that the market price of the shares of the Fund will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of the shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines.

Tax Risk.  In order to qualify for the favorable tax treatment generally available to regulated investment companies, the Fund must satisfy income, asset diversification and distribution requirements each year. If the

7


 
 

KraneShares Bosera MSCI China A Share ETF

Fund were to fail to qualify as a regulated investment company, it would be taxed in the same manner as an ordinary corporation, and distributions to its shareholders would not be deductible by the Fund in computing its taxable income.

Tracking Error Risk.  The Fund’s return may not match or achieve a high degree of correlation with the return of the Underlying Index due to, among other factors, the Fund’s use of a representative sampling strategy and the Fund holding cash under certain circumstances in lieu of Underlying Index securities. In addition, securities included in the Underlying Index may be unavailable for investment from time to time.

Performance Information

The Fund commenced operations on March 4, 2014 and therefore has not yet completed a full calendar year of performance. Once the Fund has completed a full calendar year of operations, a bar chart and table will be included in this Prospectus that will provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing the variability of the Fund’s return based on net assets and comparing the variability of the Fund’s return to a broad measure of market performance. Once available, the Fund’s current performance information will be available at www.kraneshares.com. Past performance does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future.

Management

Investment Manager and Co-Adviser

Krane Funds Advisors, LLC serves as the investment manager to the Fund.

Bosera Asset Management (International) Co., Ltd. (“Bosera”), operating out of Hong Kong, serves as the Co-Adviser to the Fund.

Portfolio Manager

Ms. Jean Kong, a Fund Manager at Bosera, has managed the Fund since the Fund’s inception.

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares

Shares may be purchased and redeemed from the Fund only in “Creation Units” of 50,000 shares, or multiples thereof. As a practical matter, only institutions and large investors, such as market makers or other large broker-dealers, purchase or redeem Creation Units. Most investors will buy and sell shares of the Fund on the Exchange. Individual shares can be bought and sold throughout the trading day like other publicly traded securities through a broker-dealer on the Exchange. These transactions do not involve the Fund. The price of an individual Fund share is based on market prices, which may be different from its NAV. As a result, the Fund’s shares may trade at a price greater than the NAV (at a premium) or less than the NAV (at a discount). Most investors will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges when buying or selling shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer.

Tax Information

Fund distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains (or a combination of both), unless your investment is in an IRA or other tax-advantaged retirement account.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase Fund shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your sales person to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your sales person or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
