ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an IRA, which may be taxed upon withdrawal.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial
Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the Fund through
a financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or investment adviser, the Fund, the Adviser or the Distributor may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services.
These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing
the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your financial intermediary or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
