†A return of capital is a distribution from the shareholder’s investment principal, rather than net profits from the Fund’s returns. Shareholders who receive periodic distributions consisting of a return of capital may be under the impression that they are receiving net profits when they are not. Return of capital reduces your cost basis in the Fund’s shares and is not taxable to you until your cost basis has been reduced to zero.
