Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund investments. Please read the
simplified prospectus before investing. The indicated rates of return are the historical annual compounded total returns including changes in
the value of the securities and reinvestment of all distributions and do not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or optional charges
or income taxes payable by any securityholder that would have reduced returns. Mutual funds are not guaranteed, their values change
frequently and past performance may not be repeated.
The MERs presented take into account fees or expenses that were waived and absorbed. Please note that we reserve the right to cease the
waiver or absorption of such fees and expenses at any time.
The payment of distributions is not guaranteed and may fluctuate. It should not be confused with a fund’s performance, rate of return or yield. If
distributions paid by a fund are greater than the performance of the fund, the difference will be deducted from your invested capital. For more
information about the Fund’s distribution policy, the conditions under which the distribution rate shown may change and tax implications,
please refer to the simplified prospectus.
