of the purchase falls.
(3)

voluntary management fee waiver may be discontinued at any time without notice.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with
the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest
$10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares
at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a
5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Class
C shares automatically convert to Class A shares after eight years. The expense
example for Class C shares for the ten-year period reflects the conversion to Class A
shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these
assumptions your costs would be:
