Short Statement:
In November 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) adopted amendments to re-organize Form N 1A so that every prospectus will be required to include a summary section at the front of the prospectus, consisting of key information about the fund, including investment objectives and strategies, risks, costs, and performance. This key information must be presented in plain English in a standardized order. The Commission also adopted amendments to Form N-1A relating to exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The ETF amendments to Form N-1A are intended to result in the disclosure of more useful information to investors who purchase ETF shares on national securities exchanges and are designed to meet the needs of investors (including retail investors) who purchase shares in secondary market transactions.
