Analysis of Expenses (unaudited) As a shareholder of the Trust, you may incur ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Trust expenses. The tables below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Trust and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The tables below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2004 and held for the six months ended March 31, 2005. Actual Expenses This table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information provided in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account, divide your ending account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 ending account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period".

(1) The Trust did not have any operations during the period. (2) The Trust did not incur any expenses during the period. Analysis of Expenses (unaudited) (continued) Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% per year before expenses, which is not the Trust'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 the information provided in this table to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Trust and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5.00% hypothetical example relating to the Trust with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds.
