* | November 28, 2014 and November 29, 2013 represent the last business day of the Fund’s respective reporting periods. See Note 2 of the accompanying Notes. |
1. | The net asset value for the beginning of the period close of business March 31, 2010 (Commencement of Operations) through November 30, 2010 represents the initial contribution per share of $10. |
2. | Per share amounts calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. |
3. | Assumes an initial investment on the business day before the first day of the fiscal period, with all dividends and distributions reinvested in additional shares on the reinvestment date, and redemptions at the net asset value calculated on the last business day of the fiscal period. Sales charges are not reflected in the total returns. Total returns are not annualized for periods less than one full year. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. |
4. | Annualized for less than full period. |
5. | Includes borrowing and franchise tax expense. Without borrowing and franchise tax expense, the net expense ratio would be 1.35%. |
6. | Includes franchise tax expense. Without franchise tax expense the net expense ratio would be 1.35%. |
7. | Deferred tax expense estimate for the ratio calculation is derived from the net investment income/loss, and realized and unrealized gains/losses. |
8. | Effective December 1, 2013 the deferred tax expense and deferred tax benefit are allocated based on average net assets. Prior to December 1, 2013 the deferred tax expense and deferred tax benefit were allocated based on specific class expenses. |
9. | Deferred tax benefit for the ratio calculation is derived from net investment income/loss only. |
