A Fund will be deemed to have received a purchase order when an authorized broker or broker-authorized designee accepts the order. A shareholder’s purchase order will be priced based on the Fund’s net asset value next computed after the order is accepted by an authorized broker or broker-authorized designee. The authorized broker or broker-authorized designee may charge the customer a transaction-based or other fee for handling the purchase or sale of shares, and additional conditions may apply.
