Mutual fund sales charges
Some investors may qualify for a reduction or waiver of sales charges on the offering price. If you are eligible, you must inform Customer Service or your investment professional or other financial intermediary at the time of your purchase that you qualify for such a reduction or waiver in order to receive it.
You may have to produce evidence that you qualify for a reduced sales charge or waiver before you receive it. Please refer to your prospectus for additional information on reduced or waived sales charges.
