FIXED INCOME AND EQUITY FUNDS ALTERNATIVE FUNDS MONEY MARKET FUNDS -------------- ----------------- ------------------- Class A $19.50/account $20.50/account $22.00/account Class B $20.50/account $21.50/account $23.00/account Class C $20.00/account $21.00/account $22.50/account Class I None Class R2 5 basis points of average daily net assets Class R3 5 basis points of average daily net assets Class R4 5 basis points of average daily net assets Class R5 5 basis points of average daily net assets Class W 20 basis points of average daily net assets Class Y 5 basis points of average daily net assets
The allocation of transfer agent fees is made as follows: FOR CLASSES A, B, AND C 1. A base fee, equal to the per account fee assessed to Class A, is multiplied by the total number of accounts in the three classes (A, B, and C). For example, the base fee for an equity fund is $19.50 times the total number of accounts in the three classes (A, B, and C). The total base Page 3 fee for the three classes (A, B, and C) is then allocated between the three classes (A, B, and C) based on the average daily net assets of the respective classes. 2. For Classes B and C, an additional fee, equal to the difference between the per account fee listed in the table above and the base fee, is multiplied times the number of accounts in the class. For example, the additional fee attributable to Class B shares in an equity fund is $1.00 per account ($20.50 minus $19.50) times the number of Class B accounts. FOR CLASS I, there is no transfer agent fee. FOR CLASS R2, R3, R4 AND R5 the fee is 5 basis points based on average daily net assets of the applicable class. FOR CLASS W, the fee is 20 basis points based on average daily net assets of Class W. FOR CLASS Y, the fee is 5 basis points based on average daily net assets of Class Y. Should an expense of a class be waived or reimbursed, Ameriprise Financial first will determine that the waiver or reimbursement will not result in another class subsidizing the class, is fair and equitable to all classes and does not operate to the detriment of another class and then shall monitor the implementation and operation to assure the waiver or reimbursement operates consistent with the determination. The board shall monitor the actions of Ameriprise Financial. EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES Shares of a class may be exchanged for shares of the same class of another Fund that is part of the RiverSource Funds, including RiverSource Partners funds, Threadneedle funds and Seligman funds ("RiverSource Funds"). For Funds that invest in and own shares of other RiverSource Funds (Funds of Funds), Class A shares of a Fund may be exchanged for Class I shares of the same Fund. CONVERSION PRIVILEGES Class B shares, including a proportionate amount of shares acquired through reinvestment of distributions, will convert into Class A shares one month after the eighth anniversary of ownership at relative net asset values without the imposition of any fee.
