ABOUT DUPREE MUTUAL FUNDS

 

In 1941, Dupree & Company, Inc. began business in Harlan, Kentucky as a small securities brokerage firm specializing in tax-exempt municipal bonds.

 

Over the years the firm, which in 1963 moved its offices to Lexington, Kentucky, grew to become a regional leader in public finance, helping to structure complex and innovative municipal bond financing for some of the largest public projects in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

 

In 1979, Dupree & Company began what is now Dupree Mutual Funds with the Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series and became the Fund’s investment adviser. The Fund was one of the first single-state municipal bond funds in the country, and the first mutual fund to invest solely in Kentucky municipal bonds. Since then, several new offerings have been added to the Dupree Mutual Funds family:

 

Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series in 1987;

Intermediate Government Bond Series in 1992;

Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series in 1993;

Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series in 1994;

North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series in 1995;

North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series in 1995;

Alabama Tax-Free Income Series in 2000;

Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series in 2000; and

Taxable Municipal Bond Series in 2010.

 

Today, after more than 60 years in business, Dupree continues to be a pioneer in the industry. Our Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi Series are currently the ONLY 100% “no-load” municipal bond funds available in those states. No-load means simply shares of the funds are offered directly to investors with no front or back-end sales charges, as opposed to load funds which are sold through brokerage firms or other institutions.

 

At Dupree Mutual Funds, our goal is a simple one: to offer investors a high-quality, low-cost way to invest in municipal and government bonds while providing superior service to our shareholders. We encourage you to let us know how we’re doing.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance:

(Unaudited)

Six Months Ended December 31, 2013

 

The investment objective for our tax-exempt municipal bond funds is to provide a high level of tax-free income derived from state-specific municipal securities without incurring undue risk to principal. Similarly, the investment objectives for our government bond fund and taxable municipal bond fund are to provide a high level of taxable income derived from securities of the U.S. Government and its agencies and taxable municipal bonds, respectively, without incurring undue risk to principal. As a general rule, we do not try to anticipate market direction; instead, we attempt to buy high quality investment grade bonds at the best possible prices and yields and hold them in down markets as well as up markets.

 

Factors which may influence the performance of a state-specific tax-exempt municipal bond fund or a taxable municipal bond fund include, but are not limited to, movements in interest rates, a downgrade or upgrade of credit ratings assigned to bonds issued by state or local governments, changes in the credit ratings assigned to bond insurers, downturns or upturns in the specific economies of a given state, the rate at which bonds are called, and the rate at which revenues are received by state and local governments which are used to pay debt service on issued bonds. Similarly, many factors may influence the performance of a government bond fund including, but not limited to, movements in interest rates, prevailing conditions in the U.S. Government securities markets, changes in an issuer’s financial strength, changes in the credit rating assigned to an obligation, and the rate at which bonds are called.

 

During the six month period ended December 31, 2013 (the “reporting period”), economic activity expanded at a moderate pace. Real gross domestic product (GDP), a measure of the output of goods and services produced by labor and property in the United States, increased at an annual rate of 4.1 percent in the third quarter of 2013. Real GDP increased at a 3.2 percent annual rate (advance estimate) during the fourth quarter of 2013. Economic growth during the second half of 2013 showed a meaningful improvement over the growth rates experienced during the first half of the year. Real GDP increased at a 1.8 percent annual rate during the first quarter and at a 2.5 percent annual rate during the second quarter. Increases in manufacturing production and higher retail and auto sales helped the economy grow at a quicker pace during the second half of the year.

 

The Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) left the federal funds target rate range at 0 to  1/4 percent during the reporting period. The Fed also maintained its accommodative monetary policy stance by purchasing additional agency mortgage-backed securities at a pace of $40 billion per month and also purchasing longer-term Treasury securities at a pace of $45 billion per month. The Fed announced at its December meeting that it would begin to taper its bond purchases beginning in January by $10 billion per month. However, it emphasized that its plan to taper asset purchases was not on a preset course and could increase or decrease depending upon incoming economic data. The Fed also strengthened its forward guidance in its December statement and emphasized that the fed funds rate would remain at exceptionally low levels “well beyond” the time the 6.5 percent unemployment threshold is breached.

 

Conditions in the labor market improved somewhat during the reporting period. The seasonally adjusted national unemployment rate dropped to 6.7 percent in December, the lowest since October 2008. However, the unemployment rate remained elevated by historical standards. The labor participation rate dropped during the second half of the year meaning that people continued to leave the work force. The housing market continued to recover with home prices in most regions increasing on a year-over-year basis. Rising mortgage rates acted as a slight damper on housing activity (i.e., housing sales and building permits) during the second half of the year.

 

Measures of inflation continued to be subdued. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased at a 1.5 percent annual rate in December. This was the smallest calendar year gain in the CPI since 2010. The core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, increased at a 1.7 percent annual rate in December. The Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the core Personal Consumption Expenditures Index, increased by 1.2 percent on a year-over-year basis in December. All of these inflation measures continue to be well below the Fed’s longer-run objective of a 2 percent target rate. Longer-term inflation expectations also remained stable during the reporting period.

 

The yield on the 10-year and 30-year Treasury increased during the second half of the year. For the full calendar year, the yield on the 10-year and 30-year Treasury were up 188 and 92 basis points, respectively. Yields in the municipal bond market also moved higher with yields on the long end of the curve showing the biggest movement. During the reporting period, yields on 10-year and 30-year AAA rated municipal securities increased 21 and 36 basis points, respectively.

 

Beginning in early June outflows from the Treasury market and municipal bond market picked up steam. The sell-off was largely related to investor fears that the Fed was considering ending its quantitative easing policies and the possibility that interest rates might increase sooner than anticipated. As such, investors rotated out of fixed-income securities into other asset classes. The selloff in fixed-income markets led to higher yields and lower prices. Credit concerns, focused mainly on Detroit’s bankruptcy filing

and Puerto Rico’s deteriorating fiscal condition, also contributed to the sell-off in the municipal bond sector. On a full year basis, the municipal bond market had its worst year in 2013 since 1994 when the Fed embarked on a tightening spree.

 

State revenues continued to show positive trends as the economy has continued to recover. According to data compiled by the Rockefeller Institute, state tax revenue collections slowed down in the third quarter and grew by 6.1 percent on a year-over-year basis. This was down slightly from second quarter growth of 9.0 percent and first quarter growth of 8.6 percent. States have now reported fifteen consecutive quarters of growth in tax collections, beginning with the first quarter of 2010. While the fiscal health of states and localities has continued to slowly improve, unfunded pension obligations still present challenges for many jurisdictions. Moreover, new Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pension accounting standards are scheduled to become effective in the near future which will likely cause the reported funded ratios for many government pension plans to decline even further. However, this is a long-term problem and there is ample time for a solution. Many jurisdictions, including Kentucky, have already taken steps in the right direction to address their pension funding shortfalls.

 

A discussion of the performance of each of our funds for the six month period ended December 31, 2013 follows:

 

The Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series achieved a total return of 0.71 percent during the reporting period compared to a total return of 0.138 percent for the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index. The Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series achieved a total return of 0.88 percent during the period under review compared to a total return of 0.138 percent for the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index. During the reporting period, the longest portion of the index underperformed the shorter elements of the index. Both funds outperformed the index primarily due to their position on the shorter part of the yield curve.

 

The Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series achieved a total return of 0.48 percent during the reporting period compared to a total return of 0.138 percent for the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index. The Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series provided shareholders with a total return of 0.53 percent during the reporting period compared to 0.138 percent for the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index. Both funds performed in line with the index.

 

The North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series achieved a total return of 0.01 percent during the reporting period compared to 0.138 percent for the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index. The North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series achieved a total return of 0.88 percent during the reporting period compared to 0.138 percent for the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index. The North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series performed in line with the index. During the reporting period, the longest portion of the index underperformed the shorter elements of the index. The North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series outperformed the index primarily due to its position on the shorter part of the yield curve.

 

The Alabama Tax-Free Income Series achieved a total a total return of 0.15 percent during the reporting period compared to 0.138 percent for the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index. The fund performed in line with the index.

 

The Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series achieved a total return of -0.25 percent during the reporting period compared to 0.138 percent for the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index. The fund performed in line with the index.

 

The Intermediate Government Bond Series achieved a total return of -0.88 percent during the reporting period compared to -0.017 percent for the Barclays Capital U.S. Government Intermediate Bond Index. The duration and average maturity of the fund is slightly longer than the index, which led to the relative underperformance of the fund as shorter securities outperformed during the reporting period.

 

The Taxable Municipal Bond Series achieved a total return of -0.41 percent during the reporting period compared with a total return of -1.247 percent for the Barclays Capital Taxable Municipal Bond Index during the same period. The worst performing parts of the index were the longest maturities and the 5-10 year portion. The fund’s positioning between those two sections led to its relative outperformance of the index.

 

It should be noted that none of the Barclays Capital indices take into account any operating expenses or transaction costs. An investment cannot be made directly in an index.

DUPREE MUTUAL FUNDS

UNAUDITED

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2013

 

1.   Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Dupree Mutual Funds is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a no-load, open-end investment company. The Declaration of Trust of Dupree Mutual Funds (the “Trust”) permits the Trustees to create an unlimited number of series of investment portfolios (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) and with respect to each series to issue an unlimited number of full or fractional shares of a single class. The Trust currently offers ten series:

 

Alabama Tax-Free Income Series

 

Kentucky Tax-Free Income Series

Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series

 

Mississippi Tax-Free Income Series

 

North Carolina Tax-Free Income Series

North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series

 

Tennessee Tax-Free Income Series

Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series

 

Intermediate Government Bond Series

 

Taxable Municipal Bond Series

 

The investment strategy of the eight state tax-free funds is to maintain 100% of their investments in their respective states of Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, or Tennessee municipal securities.

 

The Intermediate Government Bond Series' investment strategy is to invest only in obligations of the U.S. Treasury and Agencies of the U.S. Government. The Intermediate Government Bond Series will buy bonds and notes that will maintain an average maturity of no more than ten years.

 

The Taxable Municipal Bond Series’ investment strategy is to invest in taxable municipal bonds of investment grade quality.

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

  A. Security Valuation

Securities held by the Intermediate Government Bond Series and the Taxable Municipal Bond Series are valued using market quotations as provided by an independent pricing service. Securities held by the eight state tax-free funds are valued as determined in good faith in accordance with consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. These procedures involve the use of a matrix pricing model which takes into consideration price quotations or appraisals for these securities, yield, stability, risk, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, special circumstances of a security or trading market, and any other factors or market data considered relevant in determining the value. The procedures also include weekly verification of market quotations provided by two independent pricing services. A bond valuation that is not supported by a valuation source requires management to fair value the security in consultation with the Board’s Valuation committee. Shares of open-end mutual funds in which the Funds invest are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by the underlying funds.

 

The Funds have adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the hierarchy under ASC 820 are described as follows:

 

Level 1:   Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2:   Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2013

 

1.   Organization and Significant Accounting Policies, continued

 

Level 3:   Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or deemed less relevant (for example, where there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available.

 

The aggregate value by input level, as of December 31, 2013, for the Funds’ investments is included at the end of the Funds’ Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Funds recognize transfers at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers in and out of level 1, 2 or 3 during the year ending December 31, 2013.

 

  B. Security Transactions

Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on an identified cost basis.

 

  C. Security Income

Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts, is recorded on an accrual basis.

 

  D. When-Issued and Extended Settlement Securities

The Funds may purchase securities with delivery or payment to occur at a later date. At the time the Funds enter into a commitment to purchase a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the security is reflected in the net asset value. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations. No interest accrues to the Funds until the security is delivered and payment takes place. At the time the Funds enter into this type of transaction, they are required to segregate cash or other liquid assets equal to the value of the securities purchased.

 

  E. Federal Income Taxes

It is each Fund’s policy to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the “code”) applicable to regulated investment companies, including the distribution of all or substantially all taxable and tax-exempt income to their shareholders. The Funds have met the requirements of the code applicable to regulated investment companies for the year ended December 31, 2013. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Management of the Funds has concluded that there are no uncertain tax provisions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Generally, the tax authorities can examine all the tax returns for the last three years.

 

  F. Distributions

Substantially all of the net investment income of the Funds is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record as of the close of business each day. Distributions are payable in cash or in additional shares at the net asset value on the payable date.

 

Distributions are payable:

 

Monthly for:  

Kentucky Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series

North Carolina Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series

Tennessee Tax-Free Short-to-Medium Series

Intermediate Government Bond Series

Taxable Municipal Bond Series

Quarterly for:

For the Intermediate Government Bond Series, the Fund has agreed to pay to the Adviser, as compensation for all services rendered, facilities furnished and expenses paid or assumed by it under the Agreement, a fee at the annual rate of .20 of 1% of average daily net assets.

 

The Adviser may voluntarily waive investment advisory fees payable to it under the Investment Advisory Agreement with each Fund, and assume and pay other operating expenses. The Adviser will not seek to recoup any waived fees or other operating expenses it has assumed.

political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities to obtain funds for various public purposes. Each of these state-specific Funds is more susceptible to economic and political factors adversely affecting issuers of their states’ respective municipal securities than a fund that is not concentrated in these issuers to the same extent.

 

6.   Federal Income Taxes

 

On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. One of the more prominent changes addresses capital loss carryforwards. Under the Act, each Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous regulation.

 

At June 30, 2013, the Funds capital loss carry-forwards expire as follows:

 

     2014      2015      2016      2017      2018      2019      Total

7.   Contingencies and Commitments

 

 

The Funds indemnify the Trust’s officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which may provide for indemnification. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve predicting future claims that may be made against the Funds, if any,that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds do not expect the risk of loss to be material.

 

8.   Line of Credit Agreement and Custodian Agreement

 

Under the terms of an agreement with the Funds’ custodian, principal amounts up to 5% of a Fund’s net assets are available on an uncommitted line of credit. The principal amounts borrowed are due on demand. The agreement expires on August 31, 2014, but may be renewed annually. Interest is payable based on the published prime rate of the bank. Securities with a minimum value of three times the loan proceeds will be assigned as collateral until the balance of the note and unpaid interest is paid in full and terminated.

 

At December 31, 2013, the Funds had an unused line of credit amount of $24,738,000. During the six months ended December 31, 2013, the average interest rate on borrowings was 3.25% and the daily weighted average borrowings for each Fund were as follows:

Board of Trustees Approval of Existing Advisory Agreements

 

Dupree Mutual Fund’s Board of Trustees is responsible for overseeing the Trust’s corporate policies and adhering to fiduciary standards under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”). The Trustees are responsible for the annual renewal of the Trust’s investment advisory agreements with each Fund. Under the Investment Advisory Agreements, Dupree & Company, Inc. assumes responsibility for providing investment advisory and other services.

 

In considering whether to renew the Investment Advisory Agreements for the tax-free municipal bond Series, the Intermediate Government Bond Series and the Taxable Municipal Bond Series for additional one year periods, the Trustees, at their August 27, 2013 meeting, reviewed the following factors with respect to each Series: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services provided by Dupree & Co. to each Series; (2) the investment performance of each Series; (3) the costs of the services provided to each Series and the profits realized or to be realized by Dupree & Co. from its relationship with the Trust; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been realized as each Series grows; (5) whether the level of fees reflects those economies of scale for the benefit of investors in the Series; (6) comparisons of services and fees with contracts entered into by Dupree & Co. with other clients; and (7) other benefits derived or anticipated to be derived by Dupree & Co. from its relationship as investment adviser to the Trust.

 

Set forth below are the general factors the Trustees considered for all of the funds, followed by an outline of the selected specific factors the Trustees considered for each particular fund.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

 

Pursuant to each agreement, the Investment Adviser provides investment supervisory services, office space and facilities and corporate administration. Specifically, the Investment Adviser obtains and evaluates relevant information regarding the economy, industries, businesses, municipal issuers, securities markets and securities to formulate a continuing program for the management of each Series’ assets in a manner consistent with the series’ investment objectives and to implement this program by selecting the securities to be purchased or sold by the Series and placing orders for such purchases and sales. In addition, the Investment Adviser provides for the Series’ office needs, maintains each Series’ books and records, assumes and pays all sales and promotional expenses incurred in the distribution of each Series’ shares, staffs the Series with persons competent to perform all of its executive and administrative functions, supervises and coordinates the activities of the Trust’s institutional and other agents (e.g. custodian, transfer agent, independent accountants, independent legal counsel), and permits its officers and employees to serve as officers of the Trust, all without additional cost to the Trust.

Board of Trustees Approval of Existing Advisory Agreements, continued:

 

Dupree & Company provides accounting services for all portfolio holdings, prepares required reports to shareholders, and prepares necessary SEC filings on a timely basis. Dupree & Company does not render services to any other clients.

 

The Trustees considered that the Investment Adviser is an experienced investment adviser whose investment professionals have managed the several Series of the Trust since their inception. The Investment Adviser’s personnel provide active and extensive monitoring of the investment portfolios daily and report on the investment performance of the Series to the Trustees at their scheduled quarterly meetings. The Trustees considered that the Investment Adviser has carried out these responsibilities in a professional manner over the years.

 

The Trustees considered, among other things, the performance of each of the Series, as discussed below.

 

Performance

 

The Trustees considered the performance of each Series during historical and recent periods and compared to (i) standardized industry performance data, (ii) the performance of comparable mutual funds and (iii) the performance of recognized indices.

 

The Trustees considered the comparative performance and expense data for each Series prepared by an independent third party, Morningstar®, Inc., annualized for 1, 3, 5 and 10 years as compared with other single state funds or government bond funds. Morningstar®, Inc. comparative performance and expense data was considered for a one year period and since inception for the Taxable Municipal Bond Series since it has been in existence only since November 1, 2010. For the most part, the Series’ returns over the periods reviewed have been very close to the Series’ benchmarks. For additional detail about the considerations for each Trust Series, see the “Series-by-Series Factors” section below.

 

Cost and Profitability

 

The Trustees reviewed the audited (years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012) and unaudited financial statements (six months ended June 30, 2013) of Dupree & Company, Inc; statements of Dupree & Company Inc.’s revenues and costs of and profits from furnishing services to each Series (twelve months ended June 30, 2013). The Investment Adviser’s revenues and costs of and profits from furnishing services to each Series are allocated to each Series according to each Series’ identifiable costs and according to the size of the Series in relation to the total size of the Trust. The Trustees considered the Investment advisory fees paid to the Investment Adviser, expressed in dollar terms and as a percentage of assets under management. The Trustees considered and reviewed information concerning the costs incurred and profits derived by Dupree & Co. for services rendered in its capacity as Investment Adviser to each Series since the inception of each Series. The Trustees determined that the profits earned were reasonable in light of the advisory, administrative and other services provided to each Series and the historic subsidization provided by Dupree & Co. to the several Series.

 

Fees Charged by Other Advisers

 

The Trustees considered information regarding fees paid to other advisers for managing similar investment portfolios. The Trustees received comparative fee information for comparable peer group funds prepared by Morningstar®, Inc. The Trustees considered that the proposed advisory fees to be paid to the Investment Adviser for its services to each Series are comparable to the advisory fees charged to other similar portfolios.

 

Economies of Scale

 

In addition to considering that the Investment Adviser’s fees are comparable to fees charged to other similar portfolios, the Trustees also considered that economies of scale are integrated into the expense formulation. Accordingly, as assets increase, the Investment Adviser’s fees decrease on a percentage basis.

 

The Investment Adviser has identified no “economies of scale”, advising that growth of the Trust will require additional personnel. Further, the Investment Adviser has stated that additional compliance requirements can be expected to consume more personnel time and may preclude realization of economies of scale.

Fee Comparison with Other Clients

 

The only client served by the Investment Adviser is the Trust, so there are no applicable fee comparisons.

 

Other Benefits

 

The Trustees considered that the Investment Adviser derives a financial benefit from its advisory relationship with the Trust. The sole benefit that accrues to the Investment Adviser is an increase in total fees received as each Series increases in net asset size. The benefit to the shareholders of each Series is that the Investment Adviser’s fees decrease on a percentage basis as total net assets under management increase. Dupree & Company, Inc. reported no other indirect benefits attributable to management of the Series, including, but not limited to, soft dollar arrangements.

Schedule of Shareholder Expenses

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur transaction costs including investment advisory fees and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

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, 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 entitled “Expenses Paid During the Six Months Ended December 31, 2013” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses which is not the Funds’ actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds 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.
