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 (except where indicated). The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the example is based on the Total Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement for the first 21 months and on the Total Annual Fund Expenses for the remaining periods. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
