Letter to Shareholders
 
April 30, 2015 (Unaudited)
 
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
 
At the halfway point of 2015, global financial markets seem to be engaged in a game of “follow the leader”, with the US economy still out in front. Equity markets have continued their leadership with the S&P 500 Index up 4.40% over the last six months and up 95.23%, cumulatively, over the last five years ending April 30, 2015.

The US economy is firmly rooted in a classic mid-cycle recovery, supported by strong domestic consumption and historically low interest rates. Globally, European and Asian economies have struggled, despite taking a page from the US monetary policy playbook in an effort to revitalize growth in their regions.

Domestic Mid-Cycle Recovery Intact
 
Five years into this recovery, we have seen several signs that this favorable trend can continue before inflation becomes more of a national concern. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth has continued to march forward with steady job creation and corporate revenue growth. Earnings results have generally been solid as companies continued to beat Wall Street expectations, and the mergers and acquisitions cycle has picked up steam. Further, consumer confidence has risen above pre-crisis levels, having benefited from lower energy prices, and there are early signs of wage growth which we view as an important inflation barometer to rising interest rates.

Global Woes Persist
 
Global economic growth has remained tepid. The Eurozone has continued to battle anemic GDP growth, negative interest rates and a fragmented political environment. Germany, Europe’s largest economy, slowed more than expected in the first quarter of this year, recording growth of only 0.3% compared with 0.7% a year earlier. In late May, Portugal auctioned debt with a negative yield of -0.002%, unprecedented in its history. As seen in the charts below, yields across European bonds have been dropping after the European Central Bank (ECB) announced an aggressive policy of buying €60 billion bonds every month to stimulate growth; this initiative closely resembles the US Quantitative Easing (QE) bond buying program that ended late last year. Investors remain focused on Greece and whether it will remain a member of the Eurozone. Greece has continued to resist unpopular austerity measures and a heavy debt burden incurred during its bailout in 2010.

Further east, China has continued to slow as its first quarter GDP growth rate dropped to 7%. While a 7% growth rate is something the US economy would envy, China was previously growing approximately 10% per year over the past few decades. There are several structural issues behind China’s slowdown, but excess debt incurred during the 2008-2009 financial crisis is the most important factor. China’s total debt has climbed to roughly 250% of GDP, an increase of 100 percentage points since 2008. This has also saddled local governments and organizations with a heavy cost burden.

We find ourselves repeating the comment that our domestic economy remains the safest port among the storm of concerns affecting other continents, and global investors have been rushing to buy US dollar assets. Certainly, US dollar strength has several benefits, such as a higher demand for US Treasuries, lower borrowing costs for the US government, and increased foreign demand for US stock and bond assets. However, a strong dollar also poses challenges as it makes exports for US goods more expensive, a headwind for corporations looking to sell their products overseas.

Favorable Outlook and Full Valuations
 
As a result of continued economic growth, we have seen rising stock valuations, which seem fully valued at current levels. However, looking at price-to-earning valuations as an isolated measure of how “cheap” or “expensive” stocks are can be misleading. Stock valuations must also be viewed from the perspective of interest rates and other asset classes. Despite having moved up, equity valuations are being supported by historically low rates. The Federal Reserve is keeping a close eye on this dynamic as it considers raising rates in the second half of the year.

Following the Leader
 
In 2008, the global financial crisis was initiated by the American mortgage system meltdown. Seven years later, the US economy has bounced back faster than the rest of the world, which struggles to keep their economies from stagnating. As a result, the US monetary playbook has been borrowed by European and Asian governments to boost growth. While the US continues to benefit from its favorable competitive position, the rest of the world is likely to narrow the leadership gap we have achieved over the last few years.

At Century, we understand that economic cycles ebb and flow. We view these periods as an opportunity to enhance our portfolio holdings in quality growth enterprises. Despite periods of volatility, equity markets usually perform well in the long term and have proven to be an excellent asset class to build wealth for patient investors.

Century Funds Update
 
As you may know, Century Capital Management manages the Century Funds on behalf of you, our fellow shareholders. We are excited to share with you that we plan to contact you regarding our plan to simplify our corporate structure, which we believe will benefit the Century Funds and our shareholders. Century currently has two distinct business units: the Public Securities Group, which provides investment advisory services to the Century Funds and institutional investors, and the Private Equity Group, which provides investment management services to private equity vehicles exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

We have entered into an agreement to split the two business units. This proposed change will have no impact on your Fund’s investment strategies or the investment team, client service professionals or other employees of Century that serve your Fund.

As always, we hope to continue to earn your trust and wish you a wonderful summer.

Sincerely,

-S- Alexander L. Thorndike
Alexander L. Thorndike
Chairman of the Century Funds


The foregoing is not a solicitation of any proxy.

Fund Commentary
CENTURY SHARES TRUST
April 30, 2015 (Unaudited)
 
HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO PERFORM?
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2015, Century Shares Trust’s shares returned 10.02%, outperforming the Russell 1000 Growth Index (R1000G), the Fund’s benchmark, which returned 6.54%.
 
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s outperformance was primarily a result of stock selection with the Consumer Discretionary, Information Technology and  Industrials  sectors  contributing  the  most  to  performance.  The  top  performing  stocks  included  Amazon.com,  Inc. (e-commerce retailer), Dollar Tree, Inc. (discount stores), Western Union Company (money transfers & payment services), Apple, Inc. (consumer electronics) and Actavis, Plc. (specialty pharmaceuticals). Amazon displayed an increased focus on profitability which was appreciated by investors. Dollar Tree lifted from strong earnings results and expected synergies from the pending acquisition of Family Dollar. Western Union outperformed given its attractive valuation and consistent operating improvements. Apple appreciated due to continued strong demand for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus as well as demand for higher memory density phones. Actavis performed well due to its strong sales and earnings growth.
 
Conversely, the Consumer Staples, Financials and Utilities sectors were the largest detractors. The worst performing stocks included FMC Technologies, Inc. (oil & gas services), Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (biotechnology), Union Pacific Corp. (railroads), Google, Inc. (internet advertising) and American Tower Corp. (tower REIT). FMC Technologies was negatively impacted by the recent decline in energy prices. Alexion Pharmaceuticals depreciated on poor earnings and slowing growth rates. Union Pacific declined due to deteriorating volume trends from weaker coal, crude by rail and frac sand volumes compared to prior assumptions. Google sold off as investors became concerned over decelerating revenue growth and higher expenses. American Tower traded down on concerns about slowing organic sales growth in 2015 and financial pressure from a stronger US dollar.

HOW WAS THE PORTFOLIO POSITIONED AT PERIOD END?
We believe that the portfolio is well positioned for the current environments as it is diversified across almost every sector. The portfolio maintains its largest overweight in the Industrials, Financials and Energy sectors. Conversely, the Fund is underweight in the Consumer Staples, Telecommunications Services and Health Care sectors.

The stock market has continued to generate attractive returns over the past six months. Despite a weaker Q1 GDP report, unemployment has dropped to pre-crisis lows, consumer confidence has come back and inflation remains at bay. Further, corporations are generally well capitalized and beating Wall Street estimates. While valuations appear full at this point in the market cycle, they seem to be buoyed by historically low interest rates. With that being said, we continue to find high quality growth stocks that we believe are trading at reasonable valuations. Additionally, we recognize that markets do not move in a straight line and expect to utilize periods of volatility to enhance our portfolio holdings.
 
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

Risks: The Fund may invest a significant portion of assets in a limited number of companies or in companies within the same market sector. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible to financial, market and economic events affecting particular companies or sectors and therefore may experience greater price volatility than funds with more diversified portfolios.

Fund Commentary
CENTURY SMALL CAP SELECT FUND
April 30, 2015 (Unaudited)
 
HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO PERFORM?
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2015, Century Small Cap Select Fund Institutional Shares returned 7.50% and the Investor Shares returned 7.34%, outperforming the Russell 2000 Growth Index (R2000G), the Fund’s benchmark, which returned +7.25%.
 
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s outperformance was driven by both sector allocation and stock selection. The top contributing sectors included Health Care, Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples as Cambrex Corp. (biotechnology), Anacor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (biotechnology), AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. (medical care), j2 Global, Inc. (software) and Gentherm, Inc. (auto parts) all fared well. Cambrex, AMN Healthcares Services and Gentherm all traded up on strong financial results. Anacor Pharmaceuticals outperformed as prescriptions for its first product were higher than expected and the company communicated encouraging expectations for its next product. j2 Global benefited on news that recent acquisitions were performing better than expected, resulting in upward earnings revisions.
 
The Information Technology, Industrials and Financials sectors all weighed on returns. The worst performing stocks included U.S. Silica Holdings, Inc. (industrial minerals), HomeAway, Inc. (internet leisure content), Penn Virginia, Corp. (oil and gas), Dealertrack Technologies, Inc. (internet vehicle content), and Movado Group, Inc. (watch retailer). Movado traded down on slowing growth and poor earnings along with the introduction of the Apple watch given its potential of taking market share from traditional watchmakers. Dealertrack underperformed following an acquisition announcement by the company that will be dilutive near team but potentially accretive mid-to-longer term. Homeaway depreciated on disappointing expense management as investors grew concerned about mounting marketing expenses. Penn Virginia and U.S. Silica were both negatively impacted by declining energy prices.
 
HOW WAS THE PORTFOLIO POSITIONED AT PERIOD END?
The Fund currently maintains its largest overweight positions in the Energy, Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology sectors. The Fund is most underweight the Consumer Staples, Materials and Industrials sectors.

We feel that the US economic recovery is intact despite weaker GDP growth in the first quarter. Consumer confidence remains high as Americans have benefited from falling unemployment and lower energy prices. Generally, corporations are well capitalized with ample levels of cash, low debt and solid earnings. As we would expect at this point in the market cycle, mergers and acquisition activity has accelerated. As a result of sustained market appreciation, valuations seem full but continue to be supported by historically low interest rates.

Globally, the picture isn’t quite as pretty. Europe has continued to suffer from anemic growth and uncertainty around Greece remaining in the Eurozone. Japan has been muddling through mediocre economic growth, while China continued to grow at slower rates than anticipated a year ago.

We believe the Fund is positioned appropriately for the current environment and that we will be able to find attractive investment opportunities among well-run companies with underappreciated growth, despite the increase in overall equity market valuations.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

CENTURY SMALL CAP SELECT FUND

Risks: The Fund concentrates its investments in the financial services and health care group of industries (at least 25% of the Fund’s assets in the aggregate). Concentration in a particular industry subjects the Fund to the risks associated with that industry, and as a result, the Fund may be subject to greater price volatility than funds with less concentrated portfolios. In addition, the Fund invests in smaller companies which pose greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies. Please read the Fund’s prospectus for details regarding the Fund’s risk profile.

CENTURY GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FUND
April 30, 2015 (Unaudited)
 
HOW DID THE PORTFOLIO PERFORM?
For the six‐month period ended April 30, 2015, Century Growth Opportunities Fund Institutional Shares returned +7.61%, underperforming the Russell 2500 Growth Index (R2500G), which returned +8.31%.

WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE?
The Fund’s performance was primarily a result of stock selection. The Health Care, Financials and Energy sectors were the largest contributors. Top performing stocks included Cambrex Corp. (biotechnology), ServiceMaster Global Holdings, Inc. (business services), NXP Semiconductors NV (semiconductors), MAXIMUS, Inc. (business services), and Burlington Stores, Inc. (discount stores). Cambrex delivered better than expected earnings results and raised guidance. ServiceMaster continued to perform well on the back of several quarters of strong financial results. NXP Semiconductors appreciated following the announcement of the company’s acquisition of Freescale Semiconductor, Ltd. MAXIMUS continued to be an Affordable Care Act beneficiary. Burlington Stores lifted on strong financial results.

Conversely,  the  Industrials,  Information  Technology  and  Consumer  Staples  sectors  all  detracted  from  performance. Underperforming stocks included Greenbrier Companies, Inc. (railroads), Gentherm, Inc. (auto parts), United Rentals, Inc. (retail and leasing services), Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. (communication equipment), and Spirit Airlines, Inc. (airlines). Ubiquiti Networks experienced a deceleration in growth due to its exposure to Eastern European and Middle Eastern economies, which have been impacted by various conflicts in addition to slow European economic growth. Greenbrier Companies declined on profit taking and news that safety requirement regulations for oil tankers would be delayed. Gentherm depreciated on growing concerns over 2015 guidance and the sustainability of strong earnings growth. Spirit Airlines lagged due to declining passenger yields. United Rentals depreciated due to the deceleration of company fundamentals and exposure to the energy sector which remains weak.

HOW WAS THE PORTFOLIO POSITIONED AT PERIOD END?
The Fund maintains its largest overweight positions in the Information Technology, Health Care and Energy sectors and is most underweight the Materials, Financials and Consumer Staples sectors.

The domestic economy has exhibited modest economic growth. Unemployment has fallen to pre‐crisis levels, corporations remain generally well capitalized and lower energy prices have led to enhanced consumer confidence. GDP has continued to grow, albeit at lower rates than we would like, and interest rates remain at historic lows as foreign investors seek safe haven and higher yields in US Treasuries.

Globally, economic growth has continued to face challenges. Europe faces slow growth and a politically complex environment as speculation over Greece’s participation in the Eurozone remains in question. Japan, looking to jump‐start growth, has engaged in another round of monetary stimulus. China, however, has continued to grow but at lower levels than anticipated previously.

In our view, the portfolio is well positioned for the current environment and we remain focused on finding high quality companies that we believe are trading at reasonable valuations.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

The returns shown below represent past performance. Past performance does  not guarantee future results.  Investment return and principal value of  an investment will fluctuate  so  that an investor’s  shares,  when sold  or redeemed,  may be worth more or less  than the original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the Fund’s past performance. For the  most recent  monthend performance, please  call 8003031928.

As  stated   in  the  Fund’s  current  prospectus,  the  total  (gross) operating  expenses  are  1.10%.  The  Adviser  has  agreed contractually to limit the operating expenses for the Fund’s Institutional Shares to 1.10% through February 28, 2016. Returns would have been lower during all periods  if certain fees  had not been waived or expenses reimbursed. The Fund’s total returns include the reinvestment of dividend and capital gain distributions, but have not been adjusted to reflect  the deduction  of taxes that a shareholder would pay on these  distributions or the redemption  of Fund shares.  Shares  held less  than 90 days  may be subject  to a 1% redemption fee.

The graph and table reflect  the change  in value of a hypothetical investment in the Fund, including reinvestment of  dividends and  distributions,  compared with the  index. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike Fund returns, do not reflect  any fees  or expenses. It is not possible  to invest directly  in an index. Minimum initial investment for Institutional Shares  is $100,000.

The Russell 2500®  Growth Index measures the performance of the small- to mid-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those  Russell  2500 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends but, unlike Fund returns,  do  not reflect  fees  or  expenses.  One cannot  invest directly  in an index.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Century Capital Management Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”) as an open‐end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Century Shares Trust, Century Small Cap Select Fund, and Century Growth Opportunities Fund (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) are diversified series of the Trust. The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds and are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).  Each Fund is considered an investment company for financial reporting purposes under GAAP.

The investment objective of Century Shares Trust is to seek long‐term growth of principal and income. The investment objective of each of Century Small Cap Select Fund and Century Growth Opportunities Fund is to seek long‐term capital growth.

A. Security Valuations — Equity securities are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price on the primary exchange or market on which they are traded, as reported by an independent pricing service. If no sale price or official closing price is reported, market value is generally determined based on quotes or closing prices obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market maker, or reputable pricing service. For unlisted securities and for exchange‐listed securities for which there are no reported sales or official closing prices, fair value is generally determined using closing bid prices. In the absence of readily available market quotes, securities and other assets will be valued at fair value, as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Short‐term obligations, maturing in 60 days or less, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value unless particular circumstances dictate otherwise (for example, if the issuer’s creditworthiness has become impaired). Investments in open‐end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day.

A three‐tier hierarchy has been established to classify fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

 
Level 1
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date;
 
Level 2
Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
 
Level 3
Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

At April 30, 2015 the Funds held investments in common stocks classified as Level 1, with corresponding major categories as shown on each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
 
The Funds recognize transfers into and out of all levels at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers into or out of Levels 1 and 2 during the period.

There were no securities classified as Level 3 securities during the period, thus, a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used is not applicable for these Funds.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
April 30, 2015 (Unaudited)

B. Security Transactions — Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Gain or loss on sales is determined by the use of the highest cost‐method, for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex‐dividend date.  Payments received from certain investments held by the Funds may be comprised of dividends, capital gains and return of capital. The Funds originally estimate the expected classification of such payments. The amounts may subsequently be reclassified upon receipt of information from the issuer. The Funds may invest in equity securities issued or guaranteed by companies organized and based in countries outside of the United States. These securities may be traded on foreign securities exchanges or in foreign over‐the‐counter markets. Foreign dividend income is recorded on ex‐dividend date or as soon as practicable after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. Foreign income and capital gain on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, which are accrued as applicable.  Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis.

C. Use of Estimates — The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with GAAP incorporates estimates made by management in determining the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the Funds. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

D. Risks and Uncertainty — Century Shares Trust may invest a significant portion of assets in a limited number of companies. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible to financial, market and economic events affecting particular companies and therefore may experience greater price volatility than funds with more diversified portfolios.

Century Small Cap Select Fund concentrates its investments in certain industries detailed in the Portfolio of Investments, which subjects the Fund to the risks associated with those industries and may result in greater fluctuation in share value than is experienced in more diversified portfolios. In addition, the Fund invests in smaller companies, which generally involves greater risk than investing in larger, more established companies.
 
Century Growth Opportunities Fund invests mainly in small‐cap and mid‐cap companies, which, historically, have been more volatile in price than the stocks of large‐cap companies.

Foreign investing involves certain risks and increased volatility not associated with investing solely in the U.S. These risks include currency fluctuations, economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information or unfavorable political or legal developments.

At any given time, a significant portion of the assets of each Fund may be invested in securities of companies within the same market sector of the economy. Companies within the same sector often face similar issues and, consequently, may react similarly to changes in market conditions. If a Fund has a significant weighting in one or more sectors, it may be subject to more risk and price volatility.

E. Multiple Classes of Shares — Century Small Cap Select Fund offers two classes of shares, which differ in their respective distribution and service fees. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund‐level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Certain expense reductions may differ by class. Because transfer agent fees include a per account fee, each class differs with respect to transfer agent fees incurred.

F. Redemption Fees — In general, shares of each Fund may be redeemed at net asset value. However, upon the redemption of shares held less than 90 days, a redemption fee of 1% of the current net asset value of the shares may be assessed and retained by each share class of each Fund for the benefit of the Fund’s remaining shareholders. The redemption fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in-capital and amounts are shown on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

G. Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders — Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and sufficient net investment income and net realized gains, if any, under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Code”), as amended. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book and tax differences. Generally accepted accounting principles require that any distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial statements as a tax return of capital.

As of April 30, 2015, the funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition or disclosure. The Funds file U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The Funds’ tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations which is generally three years after the filing of a tax return, but may extend to four years in certain jurisdictions. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain positions that require a provision for income taxes.

H. Indemnifications — In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses
 
April 30, 2015 (Unaudited)
 
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: direct costs, such as short-term redemption fees and wire fees, and indirect costs, including management fees, and other fund operating expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your indirect costs, also referred to as “ongoing costs” (in dollars), of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.

Actual Expenses The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested at the beginning of the period, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes The second line of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any direct costs, such as wire fees or low balance fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these direct costs were included, your costs would be higher.
