Important
Information Regarding the Fund
The Direxion Daily India Bull 2X Shares (Fund) seeks
daily leveraged investment results. The pursuit of
daily leveraged goals means that the Fund is riskier than
alternatives that do not use leverage because the Funds
objective is to magnify the performance of the Index. The
pursuit of daily leveraged investment goals means that the
return of the Fund for a period longer than a full trading day
may bear no resemblance to 200% of the return of the Index for
such longer period because the aggregate return of the Fund is
the product of the series of daily leveraged returns for each
trading day. The path of the benchmark during the longer period
may be at least as important to the Funds return for the
longer period as the cumulative return of the benchmark for the
relevant longer period, especially in periods of market
volatility. Further, the return for investors that invest for
periods less than a full trading day or for a period different
than a trading day will not be the product of the return of the
Funds stated goal and the performance of the target index
for the full trading day.
Investment
Objective
The Fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and
expenses, of 200% of the price performance of the Indus India
Index (Index). The Fund seeks daily
leveraged investment results and does not seek to achieve its
stated investment objective over a period of time greater than
one day. The Fund is different and much riskier than
most exchange-traded funds.
The Fund is designed to be utilized only by knowledgeable
investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking
daily leveraged investment results, understand the risks
associated with the use of leverage and are willing to monitor
their portfolios frequently. The Fund is not intended to be used
by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to
actively monitor and manage their portfolios.

The Funds adviser, Rafferty
Asset Management, LLC (Rafferty or the
Adviser) has contractually agreed to waive all or a
portion of its management fee
and/or
reimburse the Fund for Other Expenses through March 1,
2012, to the extent that the Funds Net Annual Operating
Expenses exceed 0.95% (excluding, as applicable, among other
expenses, taxes, leverage interest, Acquired Fund Fees and
Expenses, dividends or interest on short positions, other
interest expenses, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in
connection with any merger or reorganization and extraordinary
expenses such as litigation). Any expense waiver is subject to
reimbursement by the Fund only within the following three years
if overall expenses fall below these percentage limitations.
This agreement may be terminated or revised at any time with the
consent of the Board of Trustees.

Expense 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
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 Funds operating expenses remain the
same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based
on these assumptions your costs would be:

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
Funds performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the
Funds portfolio turnover rate was 0% of the average value
of its portfolio.

Principal
Investment Strategies
The Fund, under normal circumstances, creates long positions by
investing at least 80% of its net assets in the equity
securities that comprise the Index
and/or
financial instruments that provide leveraged and unleveraged
exposure to the Index. These financial instruments include:
futures contracts; options on securities, indices and futures
contracts; equity caps, collars and floors; swap agreements;
forward contracts; short positions; reverse repurchase
agreements; exchange-traded funds (ETFs); and other
financial instruments. On a
day-to-day
basis, the Fund also holds short-term debt instruments that have
terms-to-maturity
of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality credit
profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase
agreements.
India is considered an emerging market. The term
emerging market refers to an economy that is in the
initial stages of industrialization and has been historically
marked by low per capita income and lack of capital market
transparency, but appears to be implementing political
and/or
market reforms resulting in greater capital market transparency,
increased access for foreign investors and generally improved
economic conditions. Emerging markets have the potential for
significantly higher or lower rates of return and carry greater
risks than more developed economies.
The Index is designed to replicate the Indian equity markets as
a whole through a group of 50 Indian stocks selected from a
universe of the largest companies listed on two major Indian
exchanges. The Index utilizes a proprietary measure called
IndusCap, which takes into account restrictions on foreign
ownership of Indian securities imposed by Indian regulators; and
has thus been created specifically for use by funds managed on
behalf of foreign investors (i.e. investors outside of
India). The Index has 50 constituents, spread among the
following sectors: Information Technology, Health Services,
Financial Services, Heavy Industry, Consumer Products and Other.
The Index is supervised by an index committee, comprised of
representatives of the Index Provider and members of academia
specializing in emerging markets.
The Fund may gain exposure to only a representative sample of
the securities in the Index that have aggregate characteristics
similar to those of the Index. The Fund gains this exposure
either by directly investing in the underlying securities of the
Index or by investing in derivatives that provide exposure to
those securities. The Fund seeks to remain fully invested at all
times consistent with its stated goal. At the close of the
markets each trading day, Rafferty positions the Funds
portfolio so that its exposure to the Index is consistent with
the Funds investment objective. The impact of the
Indexs movements during the day will affect whether the
Funds portfolio needs to be re-positioned. For example, if
the Index has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund
should rise, meaning that the Funds exposure will need to
be increased. Conversely, if the Index has fallen on a given
day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the Funds
exposure will need to be reduced. This re-positioning strategy
typically results in high portfolio turnover. Additionally,
because a significant portion of the assets of the Fund may come
from investors using asset allocation and
market timing investment strategies, the Fund may
further need to engage in frequent trading. The Fund will
concentrate its investment in a particular industry or group of
industries to approximately the same extent as the Index is so
concentrated.
Principal
Risks
An investment in the Fund entails risk. The Fund could lose
money or its performance could trail that of other investment
alternatives. The Adviser cannot guarantee that the Fund will
achieve its objective. In addition, the Fund presents some risks
not traditionally associated with most mutual funds and
exchange-traded funds. It is important that investors closely
review all of the risks listed below and understand how these
risks interrelate before making an investment in the Fund.
Turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity,
credit and fixed income markets could negatively affect issuers
worldwide, including the Fund. There is the risk that you could
lose all or a portion of your money invested in the Fund.
Adverse Market Conditions Risk Because the
Fund magnifies the performance of the Index, the Funds
performance will suffer during conditions in which the Index
declines.
Advisers Investment Strategy Risk While
the Adviser seeks to take advantage of investment opportunities
for the Fund that will maximize its investment returns, there is
no guarantee that such opportunities will ultimately benefit the
Fund. There is no assurance that the Advisers investment
strategy will enable the Fund to achieve its investment
objective.
Counterparty Risk The Fund may invest in
financial instruments involving counterparties for the purpose
of attempting to gain exposure to a particular group of
securities or asset class without actually purchasing those
securities or investments, or to hedge a position. These
financial instruments may include swap agreements and structured
notes. The use of swap agreements and other counterparty
instruments involves risks that are different from those
associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. For
example, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected
to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the
default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty. Swap
agreements and other counterparty instruments also may be
considered to be illiquid. In addition, the Fund may enter into
swap agreements that involve a limited number of counterparties,
which may increase the Funds exposure to counterparty
credit risk. The Fund does not specifically limit its
counterparty risk with respect to any single counterparty.
Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be
willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions
with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to
achieve its investment objective.
Credit Risk The Fund could lose money if the
issuer or guarantor of a debt security goes bankrupt or is
unable or unwilling to make interest payments
and/or repay
principal. Changes in an issuers financial strength or in
an issuers or debt securitys credit rating also may
affect a securitys value and thus have an impact on Fund
performance.
Currency Exchange Rate Risk Changes in
foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of what
the Fund owns and the Funds share price. Generally, when
the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, an
investment in that country loses value because that currency is
worth fewer U.S. dollars. Devaluation of a currency by a
countrys government or banking authority also will have a
significant impact on the value of any investments denominated
in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as
regulated as securities markets.
Daily Correlation Risk There is no guarantee
that the Fund will achieve its daily target. The Fund may have
difficulty achieving its daily target due to fees and expenses,
high portfolio turnover, transaction costs and costs associated
with the use of leveraged investment techniques
and/or a
temporary lack of liquidity in the markets for the securities
held by the Fund. The Fund may not have investment exposure to
all securities in its underlying Index, or its weighting of
investment exposure to such stocks or industries may be
different from that of the Index. In addition, the Fund may
invest in securities or financial instruments not included in
the underlying Index. The Fund may be subject to large movements
of assets into and out of the Fund, potentially resulting in the
Fund being over- or under-exposed to its Index. Activities
surrounding annual index reconstitutions and other index
rebalancing or reconstitution events may hinder the Funds
ability to meet its daily investment objective on that day. The
Fund seeks to rebalance its portfolio daily to keep leverage
consistent with its daily investment objective.

Depositary Receipt Risk To the extent the
Fund seeks exposure to foreign companies, the Funds
investments may be in the form of depositary receipts or other
securities convertible into securities of foreign issuers,
including American Depositary Receipts (ADRs),
European Depositary Receipts (EDRs), and Global
Depositary Receipts (GDRs). While the use of ADRs,
EDRs and GDRs, which are traded on exchanges and represent and
ownership in a foreign security, provide an alternative to
directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their
respective national markets and currencies, investments in ADRs,
EDRs, and GDRs continue to be subject to certain of the risks
associated with investing directly in foreign securities.
Derivatives Risk The Fund uses investment
techniques, including investments in derivatives such as futures
and forward contracts, options and swaps, which may be
considered aggressive. Investments in such derivatives are
subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate
over time and may increase the volatility of the Fund. The use
of derivatives may expose the Fund to additional risks that it
would not be subject to if it invested directly in the
securities underlying those derivatives, such as counterparty
risk and the risk that the derivatives may become illiquid. The
use of derivatives may result in larger losses or smaller gains
than otherwise would be the case. In addition, the Funds
investments in derivatives are subject to the following risks:
Futures and Forward Contracts. There may be an
imperfect correlation between the changes in market value of the
securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts.
There may not be a liquid secondary market for the futures
contracts. Forward currency transactions include the risks
associated with fluctuations in currency.
Hedging Risk. If the Fund uses a hedging instrument
at the wrong time or judges the market conditions incorrectly,
the hedge might be unsuccessful, reduce the Funds
investment return, or create a loss.
Options. There may be an imperfect correlation
between the prices of options and movements in the price of the
securities (or indices) hedged or used for cover which may cause
a given hedge not to achieve its objective.
Swap Agreements. Credit default swaps, including
credit default swaps on baskets of securities, are subject to
credit risk on the underlying investment. Interest rate swaps
are subject to interest rate and credit risk. Total return swaps
are subject to counterparty risk.
Early Close/Trading Halt Risk An exchange or
market may close or issue trading halts on specific securities,
or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or financial
instruments may be restricted, which may result in the Fund
being unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial
instruments. In such circumstances, the Fund may be unable to
rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its
investments
and/or may
incur substantial trading losses.
Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility
Risk The Fund does not attempt to, and should
not be expected to, provide returns which are a multiple of the
return of the Index for periods other than a single day. The
Fund rebalances its portfolio on a daily basis, increasing
exposure in response to that days gains or reducing
exposure in response to that days losses. This means that
for a period longer than one day, the pursuit of daily goals may
result in daily leveraged compounding. It also means that the
return of an index over a period of time greater than one day
multiplied by the Funds daily target (200%) generally will
not equal the Funds performance over that same period.
As a result, over time, the cumulative percentage increase or
decrease in the value of the Funds portfolio may diverge
significantly from the cumulative percentage increase or
decrease in the multiple of the return of the Funds
underlying index due to the compounding effect of losses and
gains on the returns of the Fund. It also is expected that the
Funds use of leverage will cause the Fund to underperform
the compounded return of two times its benchmark in a trendless
or flat market.
The effect of compounding becomes more pronounced on the
Funds performance as the Index experiences volatility. The
Indexs volatility rate is a statistical measure of the
magnitude of fluctuations in the returns of the Index. The table
below provides examples of how Index volatility could affect the
Funds performance. The chart shows estimated Fund returns
for a number of combinations of performance and volatility over
a one-year period. As shown below, this Fund, or any other 2X
Bull Fund, would be expected to lose 6.1% (as shown in Table 1
below) if its Index provided no return over a one year period
during which the Index experienced annualized volatility of 25%.
If the Indexs annualized volatility were to rise to 75%,
the hypothetical loss for a one year period for the Fund widens
to approximately 43%.
At higher ranges of volatility, there is a chance of a near
complete loss of value in the Fund. For instance, if the
Indexs annualized volatility is 100%, the Fund would be
expected to lose over 90% of its value if the cumulative Index
return for the year was
50%.

Emerging Markets Risk Indirectly investing in
emerging markets instruments involve greater risks than
indirectly investing in foreign instruments in general. Risks of
investing in emerging market countries include: political or
social upheaval; nationalization of businesses; restrictions on
foreign ownership; prohibitions on the repatriation of assets;
and risks from an economys dependence on revenues from
particular commodities or industries. In addition, currency
transfer restrictions, limited potential buyers for such
instruments, delays and disruption in settlement procedures and
illiquidity or low volumes of transactions may make exits
difficult or impossible at times.
Equity Securities Risk Investments in
publicly issued equity securities and securities that provide
exposure to equity securities, including common stocks, in
general are subject to market risks that may cause their prices
to fluctuate over time. Fluctuations in the value of equity
securities in which the Fund invests will cause the net asset
value (NAV) of the Fund to fluctuate.
Foreign Securities Risk Indirectly investing
in foreign instruments may involve greater risks than investing
in domestic instruments. As a result, the Funds returns
and net asset values may be affected to a large degree by
fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates,
political, diplomatic or economic conditions and regulatory
requirements in other countries. The laws and accounting,
auditing, and financial reporting standards in foreign countries
typically are not as strict as they are in the U.S., and there
may be less public information available about foreign companies.
Gain Limitation Risk If the Funds
benchmark moves more than 50% on a given trading day in a
direction adverse to the Fund, you would lose all of your money.
Rafferty will attempt to position the Funds portfolio to
ensure that the Fund does not lose more than 90% of its net
asset value on a given day. The cost of such downside protection
will be limitations on the Funds gains. As a consequence,
the Funds portfolio may not be responsive to Index gains
beyond 45% in a given day. For example, if the Index were to
gain 50%, the Fund might be limited to a daily gain of 90%
rather than 100%, which is 200% of the Index gain of 50%.
Geographic Concentration Risk Investments in
a particular country or geographic region may be particularly
susceptible to political, diplomatic or economic conditions and
regulatory requirements. As a result, the Fund may be more
volatile than a more geographically diversified fund.
High Portfolio Turnover Risk The Fund may
engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased
portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the
possibility of increased capital gains, including short-term
and/or
long-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to
shareholders as ordinary income.
Intra-Day
Investment Risk The Fund seeks leveraged
investment results from the close of the market on a given
trading day until the close of the market on the subsequent
trading day. The exact exposure of an investment in the Fund
intraday in the secondary market is a function of the difference
between the value of the Index at the market close on the first
trading day and the value of the Index at the time of purchase.
If the Index gains value, the Funds net assets will rise
by the same amount as the Funds exposure. Conversely, if
the Index declines, the Funds net assets will decline by
the same amount as the Funds exposure. Since a Fund starts
each trading day with exposure which is 200% of its net assets,
a change in both the exposure and the net assets of the Fund by
the same absolute amount results in a change in the comparative
relationship of the two. As an example (using simplified
numbers), if the Fund had $100 in net assets at the market
close, it would seek $200 of exposure to the next trading
days Index performance. If the Index rose by 1% by noon
the following trading day, the exposure of the Fund will have
risen by 1% to $202 and the net assets will have risen by that
$2 gain to $102. With net assets of $102 and exposure of $202, a
purchaser at that point would be receiving 198% exposure of her
investment instead of 200%.
Leverage Risk If you invest in the Fund, you
are exposed to the risk that an decrease in the daily
performance of the Index will be leveraged. This means that your
investment in the Fund will be reduced by an amount equal to 2%
for every 1% daily decline, not including the cost of financing
the portfolio and the impact of operating expenses, which would
further lower your investment. The Fund could theoretically lose
an amount greater than its net assets in the event of an Index
decline of more than 50%. Further, purchasing shares during a
day may result in greater than 200% exposure to the performance
of the Index if the Index decreases between the close of the
markets on one trading day and before the close of the markets
on the next trading day.
To fully understand the risks of using leverage in the Fund, see
Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk
above.
Liquidity Risk Some securities held by the
Fund, including derivatives, may be difficult to sell or
illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid
securities also may be difficult to value. If the Fund is forced
to sell an illiquid security at an unfavorable time or at a
price that is lower than Raffertys judgment of the
securitys true market value, the Fund may be forced to
sell the security at a loss. Such a situation may prevent the
Fund from limiting losses, realizing gains or achieving a high
correlation with the Index.
Market Risk The Fund is subject to market
risks that can affect the value of its shares. These risks
include political, regulatory, market and economic developments,
including developments that impact specific economic sectors,
industries or segments of the market.
Market Timing Risk Rafferty expects a
significant portion of the assets of the Fund to come from
professional money managers and investors who use the Funds as
part of asset allocation and market
timing investment strategies. These strategies often call
for frequent trading which may lead to increased portfolio
turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of
increased capital gains, including short-term
and/or
long-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to
shareholders as ordinary income.
Non-Diversification Risk The Fund is
non-diversified, which means it invests a high percentage of its
assets in a limited number of securities. A non-diversified
funds net asset values and total returns may fluctuate
more or fall greater in times of weaker markets than a
conventional diversified fund.
Regulatory Risk The Fund is subject to the
risk that a change in U.S. law and related regulations will
impact the way the Fund operates, increase the particular costs
of the Funds operations
and/or
change the competitive landscape.
Risks of Investing in Other Investment Companies and
ETFs Investments in the securities of other
investment companies and ETFs, may involve duplication of
advisory fees and certain other expenses. Fund shareholders
indirectly bear the Funds proportionate share of the fees
and expenses paid by shareholders of the other investment
company or ETF, in addition to the fees and expenses Fund
shareholders directly bear in connection with the Funds
own operations. If the investment company or ETF fails to
achieve its investment objective, the value of the Funds
investment will decline, adversely affecting the Funds
performance. In addition, ETF shares potentially may trade at a
discount or a premium and are subject to brokerage and other
trading costs, which could result in greater expenses to the
Fund. Finally, because the value of ETF shares depends on the
demand in the market, the Adviser may not be able to liquidate
the Funds holdings in an ETFs shares at the most
optimal time, adversely affecting the Funds performance.
Tax and Distribution Risk The Fund has
extremely high portfolio turnover which causes the Fund to
generate significant

amounts of taxable income. This income is typically short-term
capital gain, which is generally treated as ordinary income when
distributed to shareholders, or short-term capital loss. The
Fund rarely generates long-term capital gain or loss. The Fund
will generally need to distribute this income in order to
satisfy certain tax requirements. As a result of the Funds
high portfolio turnover, the Fund could make larger
and/or more
frequent distributions than traditional unleveraged ETFs.
Because the Funds asset level changes frequently, these
distributions could comprise a substantial portion or even all
of the Funds net assets if the Fund distributes this
income after a decline in its net assets. Shareholders in the
Fund on the day of such distributions may receive substantial
distributions, which could lead to negative tax implications for
such shareholders. Potential investors are urged to consult
their own tax advisers for more detailed information.
Rules governing the federal income tax aspects of certain
derivatives, including total return equity swaps, real
estate-related swaps, credit default swaps and other credit
derivatives are not entirely clear. Because the Funds
status as a regulated investment company might be affected if
the Internal Revenue Service did not accept the Funds
treatment of certain transactions involving derivatives, the
Funds ability to engage in these transactions may be
limited.
Tracking Error Risk The Fund may have
difficulty achieving its daily target due to fees and expenses,
high portfolio turnover, transaction costs,
and/or a
temporary lack of liquidity in the markets for the securities
held by the Fund. A failure to achieve a daily target may cause
the Fund to provide returns for a longer period that are worse
than expected. In addition, even though the Fund may meet its
daily target for a period of time, this will not necessarily
produce the returns that might be expected in light of the
returns of the Index or the Funds benchmark for that
period.
Valuation Time Risk The Fund values its
portfolio as of the close of regular trading on the New York
Stock Exchange (NYSE) (generally 4:00 P.M.
Eastern time). In some cases, foreign market indices close
before the NYSE opens or may not be open for business on the
same calendar days as the Fund. As a result, the daily
performance of the Fund can vary from the performance of the
Index.
Special Risks of
Exchange-Traded Funds
Not Individually Redeemable. Shares are
not individually redeemable and may be redeemed by the Fund at
NAV only in large blocks known as Creation Units. You may incur
brokerage costs purchasing enough Shares to constitute a
Creation Unit.
Trading Issues. Trading in Shares on an
exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons
that, in the view of that exchange, make trading in Shares
inadvisable, such as extraordinary market volatility or other
reasons. There can be no assurance that Shares will continue to
meet the listing requirements of the exchange on which it
trades, and the listing requirements may be amended from time to
time.
Market Price Variance Risk. Individual
Shares of the Fund that are listed for trading on an exchange
can be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices.
The market prices of Shares will fluctuate in response to
changes in NAV and supply and demand for Shares. The Adviser
cannot predict whether Shares will trade above, below or at
their NAV. Differences between secondary market prices and NAV
for Shares may be due largely to supply and demand forces in the
secondary market, which forces may not be the same as those
influencing prices for securities or instruments held by the
Fund at a particular time. Given the fact that Shares can be
created and redeemed in Creation Units, the Adviser believes
that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of Shares should not
be sustained. There may, however, be times when the market price
and the NAV vary significantly and you may pay more than NAV
when buying Shares on the secondary market, and you may receive
less than NAV when you sell those Shares. The market price of
Shares, like the price of any exchange-traded security, includes
a bid-ask spread charged by the exchange
specialists, market makers or other participants that trade the
particular security. In times of severe market disruption, the
bid-ask spread often increases significantly. This means that
Shares may trade at a discount to NAV and the discount is likely
to be greatest when the price of Shares is falling fastest,
which may be the time that you most want to sell your Shares.
The Funds investment results are measured based upon the
daily NAV of the Fund over a period of time. Investors
purchasing and selling Shares in the secondary market may not
experience investment results consistent with those experienced
by those creating and redeeming directly with the Fund. There is
no guarantee that an active secondary market will develop for
Shares of the Fund.
Fund Performance
No performance information is presented for the Fund because it
does not have performance for a complete calendar year. In the
future, performance information for the Fund will be presented
in this section. Updated performance is available on the
Funds website at
http://direxionshares.com/etfs?performance
or by calling the Fund toll free at 1-866-476-7523.
Management
Investment Adviser. Rafferty Asset Management, LLC is the
Funds investment adviser.
Portfolio Manager. Paul Brigandi, the Funds
Portfolio Manager, is primarily responsible for the
day-to-day
management of the Fund and has served in this role since the
Funds inception in March of 2010.
Purchase
and Sale of Fund Shares
The Fund will issue and redeem Shares only to Authorized
Participants (typically, broker-dealers) in exchange for the
deposit or delivery of a basket of assets (securities
and/or cash)
in large blocks, known as Creation Units, each of which is
comprised of 50,000 Shares. Retail investors may only purchase
and sell Fund Shares on a national securities exchange
through a broker-dealer. Because the Shares trade at market
prices rather than net asset value, Shares may trade at a price
greater than net asset value (premium) or less than net asset
value (discount).
Tax
Information
Income and capital gain distributions you receive from the Fund
are subject to federal income taxes and may also be subject to
state and local taxes. Distributions for this Fund may be
significantly higher than those of most exchange-traded funds.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other
financial intermediary (such as a bank or financial advisor),
the Fund
and/or the
Adviser 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 financial
intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over
another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial
intermediarys website for more information.
