This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then sell all of your shares at the end of those periods. This Example also assumes that your investment earns a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same as shown above. The amounts shown reflect the fee waiver/expense reimbursement in place through the expiration date. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
