II. | Frequent Trading Policy |
Effective immediately, the "Frequent Trading Policy" section beginning on page 35 of the Prospectus is deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:
"Frequent Trading Policy
Frequent or short-term trading into and out of the Fund, or time-zone arbitrage (i.e., the purchase and sale of Fund securities in order to profit from price discrepancies between the time the price of the portfolio security is determined and the time the Fund's NAV is computed), can have adverse consequences for the Fund and shareholders who use the Fund as a long-term investment vehicle. Such trading in significant amounts can disrupt the Fund's investment strategies (e.g., by requiring it to sell investments at inopportune times or maintain excessive short-term or cash positions to support redemptions), dilute the interests of other shareholders, increase brokerage and administrative costs and affect the timing and amount of taxable gains distributed by the Fund. Investors engaged in such trading may also seek to profit by anticipating changes in the Fund's NAV in advance of the time the NAV is calculated.
The Fund's Board has approved policies and procedures intended to discourage excessive frequent or short-term trading of the Fund's shares. The Fund also monitors trading in Fund shares in an effort to identify disruptive trading activity.
In addition, each agreement among the Fund, its distributor and a Financial Intermediary will contain representations concerning the Financial Intermediary's policies and procedures to monitor, deter and report instances of market timing.
No matter how the Fund defines its limits on frequent trading of Fund shares, other purchases and sales of Fund shares, not deemed to be frequent trading, may have adverse effects on the management of the Fund's portfolio and its performance.
Redemption fees and restrictions on short-term trading should apply to all shareholders, regardless of the number or type of accounts in which shares are held. However, the Fund anticipates that limitations on its ability to identify trading activity to specific shareholders, including where shares are held through a Financial Intermediary in multiple or omnibus accounts, will mean that these restrictions may not be able to be applied uniformly in all cases.
The Investment Adviser may determine from the amount, frequency or pattern of purchases and redemptions that a shareholder is engaged in excessive trading that is or could be detrimental to the Fund and other shareholders and may preclude the shareholder from making further purchases of Fund shares. If your purchase order is rejected, you will not be able to execute that transaction, and the Fund will not be responsible for any losses you may suffer."
