| **Waiver/Expense Reimbursement** | **1.50%** | **1.25%** |

---

<sup>(1)</sup> The Fund's Advisor, distributor and shareholder services provider have agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual fund operating expenses paid by the Fund's Class A and Class I Shares will not exceed 1.49% and 1.24%, respectively, not including the effects of dividends or interest on short positions, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, extraordinary expenses, brokerage commissions and interest.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund's Class I Shares for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your Shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The costs for the Fund reflect the net expenses of the Fund that result from the fee waiver/expense reimbursement in the first year only. Although your actual costs and returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
