Tax Implications of Owning Mutual Funds

Mutual fund shareholders and managed account holders are required by law to pay taxes on distributions, regardless of whether distributions are paid out in cash or reinvested in additional shares. (This does not apply to mutual funds held in tax-advantaged accounts such as Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and 401(k) and 403(b) accounts.)

Each fund intends to distribute to its shareholders, at least annually, all or substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net capital gains. In addition to the distribution dates noted within the calendar below, additional distributions may be necessary to avoid imposition of excise tax. Please see our Statement of Additional Information for details on excise tax.

Distribution policies for mutual funds are outlined in the prospectus, located in the Mutual Funds Literature section.

The standardized total return can be found on the Price and Performance tab of the mutual funds page by selecting quarter-end.

Please note that retirement accounts are excluded from the new cost basis requirements.
