Total annual fund operating expenses shown in this table will not correlate to the expense ratio shown in the Financial Highlights table found in the prospectus because that ratio does not include the Acquired Funds' fees and expenses.

See the prospectus for further details.

Other Expenses are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.

The acquired fund fees and expenses (AFFE) are the expenses indirectly incurred by the Fund as a result of its investments during the most recent fiscal period in investment companies and other pooled investment vehicles.

Expense ratio information is as of the Fund's current prospectus, as revised and supplemented from time to time.
