- 1“Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses” shown above include expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund (e.g., indirect Other Expenses and/or Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses), and thus may be higher than the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets included in the “Financial Highlights” section of the full prospectus. If only the operating expenses of the Fund were included in Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses, and not the indirect expenses incurred by the Fund, the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses would be 0.43% for Investor Shares and 0.78% for Advisor Shares.
