Such compensation may be paid out of distribution, service and/or 12b-1 fees that are deducted from the fund's assets, and/or may be paid directly by the fund's affiliates. Any fees deducted from fund assets are discussed in the fund's prospectus and disclosed in the fund fact sheet. Because these fees are paid on an on-going basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.
