Effective July 1, 2011, the first paragraph within the sub-section Limits on Frequent Trading within the section Restrictions on Buying, Selling and Exchanging Shares is hereby amended and restated as follows:
Excessive trading activity in a Fund is measured by the number of round trip transactions in a shareholders account. A round trip is defined as (1) a purchase (including a purchase by exchange) into a Fund followed by a redemption (including a redemption by exchange) of any amount out of the same Fund; or (2) a redemption (including a redemption by exchange) out of a Fund followed by a purchase (including a purchase by exchange) of any amount into the same Fund. Two round trip transactions in a single Fund within a rolling 90-day period is considered to be excessive and will constitute a violation of the Funds trading limitations. After the detection of a first violation, the Fund or the Distributor will issue the shareholder and his or her financial intermediary, if any, a written warning. After the detection of a second violation (i.e., two more roundtrip transactions in the Fund within a rolling 90-day period), the Fund or the Distributor will restrict the account from making subsequent purchases (including purchases
by exchange) for 90 days. After the detection of a third violation, the Fund or the Distributor will permanently restrict the account and any other accounts under the shareholders control in any Fund from making subsequent purchases (including purchases by exchange). The above limits are applicable whether a shareholder holds shares directly with a Fund or indirectly through a financial intermediary, such as a broker, bank, investment adviser, recordkeeper for retirement plan participants, or other third party. The preceding is not an exclusive description of activities that the Funds and the Distributor may consider to be excessive and, at its discretion, a Fund and the Distributor may restrict or prohibit transactions by such identified shareholders or intermediaries.
Effective July 1, 2011, the sub-section Trade Activity Monitoring within the section Restrictions on Buying, Selling and Exchanging Shares is hereby amended and restated as follows:
Trading activity is monitored selectively on a daily basis in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If a Fund or the Distributor believes that a shareholder or financial intermediary has engaged in excessive, short-term trading activity, it may, in its discretion, request that the shareholder or financial intermediary stop such activities or refuse to process purchases or exchanges in the accounts. At its discretion, each Fund and the Distributor, as well as an adviser to a Fund, may ban trading in an account if, in their judgment, a shareholder or financial intermediary has engaged in short-term transactions that, while not necessarily in violation of the Funds stated policies on frequent trading, are harmful to a fund or its shareholders. A Fund and the Distributor also reserve the right to notify financial intermediaries of the shareholders trading activity.
Effective July 1, 2011, the sub-section Accounts Held by Financial Intermediaries within the section Restrictions on Buying, Selling and Exchanging Shares is hereby amended and restated as follows:
The ability of a Fund and the Distributor to monitor trades that are placed by omnibus or other nominee accounts is severely limited in those instances in which the financial intermediary maintains a record of a Funds underlying beneficial owners. In general, each Fund and the Distributor will review trading activity at the omnibus account level. If a Fund and the Distributor detect suspicious activity, they may request and receive personal identifying information and transaction histories for some or all underlying shareholders (including plan participants) to determine whether such shareholders have engaged in excessive short-term trading activity. If a Fund believes that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading activity in violation of the Funds policies through an omnibus account, the Fund will attempt to limit transactions by the underlying shareholder which engaged in such trading, although it may be unable to do so. A Fund may also limit or prohibit additional purchases of Fund shares by an intermediary. Investors should not assume a Fund will be able to detect or prevent all trading practices that may disadvantage a Fund.
