Fred Alger Management, Inc. has contractually agreed to waive fees or to reimburse Fund expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes, brokerage and extraordinary expenses) through February 28, 2021 to the extent necessary to limit the total annual fund operating expenses of the Fund’s Class A Shares to 2.00%, and the Class C Shares to 2.75%, of the class’s average daily net assets. This expense reimbursement may only be amended or terminated prior to its expiration date by agreement between Fred Alger Management, Inc. and the Fund’s Board of Trustees, and will terminate automatically in the event of termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Fred Alger Management, Inc. may, during the first year of the expense reimbursement contract, recoup any expenses waived or reimbursed pursuant to the expense reimbursement contract to the extent that such recoupment would not cause the expense ratio to exceed the lesser of the stated limitation in effect at the time of (i) the waiver or reimbursement and (ii) the recoupment after the repayment of the recoupment is taken into account.

Example

The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated, that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The one-year example and the first two years of the three-, five- and ten-years examples are based on net operating expenses, which reflect the contractual expense limitation agreed to by Fred Alger Management, Inc. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions you would pay the following expenses if you redeemed your shares at the end of each period:

 

     1 Year      3 Years      5 Years      10 Years  
Class A
   $ 717      $ 1,183      $ 1,737      $ 3,242  
Class C
   $ 378      $ 922      $ 1,658      $ 3,602  
You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
 
Class C
   $ 278      $ 922      $ 1,658      $ 3,602
