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 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:

 

     1 year      3 years      5 years      10 years  
Institutional Class
   $ 67      $ 211      $ 368      $ 822  
Retail Class
   $ 93      $ 290      $ 504      $ 1,120  
Admin Class
   $ 118      $ 368      $ 638      $ 1,409  
Class N
