2018 Annual Report 1

Letter to Shareholders

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

What a difference a year makes. In direct contrast to 2017, which was described as a "slow-motion surprise to the upside", 2018 was a year that proved to be another surprise in its abrupt descent into negative territory in the fourth quarter. Very few asset classes were spared in 2018. Instead of the broad-based strength we witnessed across market sectors in 2017, 2018 brought the opposite effect. Moreover, we were certainly in the wrong quadrant in 2018, as large-cap outperformed small-cap, and Growth outperformed Value in the US equity markets.

Clearly 2018 was subject to myriad economic concerns from the outset, including those about the pace and arc of the Fed interest rate tightening trajectory, the possibility of a US economic downturn, coupled with a flattening US housing cycle. When the US-China trade war began escalating in early 2018, that added to market uncertainty regarding the health and resilience of the US economy. These assorted variables continue to roil the equity markets as we move into 2019. A lack of resolution to the US-China trade tensions remains a source of market volatility and a significant overhang. Moreover, recent headlines about an economic slowdown within China itself further fuels concerns about end-market demand for a variety of consumer products, from premium smartphones to autos to homes, with ramifications for US corporations. Lastly, the latest concern is the US government shutdown, with an as of yet unmeasured impact on the US economy, consumer confidence, as well as the very real absence of actual economic data, such as GDP growth.

The optimism of early 2018 has long since dissipated, and a more muted view of the economy has taken hold, from both a corporate and consumer standpoint. We believe it is realistic to expect a slower pace of economic growth and corporate earnings. For example, recent ISM (Institute for Supply Management) manufacturing data were notably lower. The US housing market has slowed, with fears that higher mortgage rates are acting as a deterrent to prospective home buyers. The most recent December existing-home sales data came in sharply lower, sparking alarm that the equity markets' steep fourth-quarter decline further destabilized the US consumer. To wit, after consumer confidence in October of 2018 reached its highest level since 2000, November and December saw two straight months of declines.

Despite these very real concerns, none of which appear likely to dissipate in the immediate future, the US economy generally appears to remain on track. We believe that the overall health of corporate America is far from dire. The unemployment rate remains at historical lows, most recently as of December 31, 2018 3.9%, while wage growth finally has shown some sustained movement. Despite the recent declines in consumer confidence, absolute levels remain very strong. Furthermore, an additional tailwind for the consumer wallet is lower oil and gas prices.

If we were to look for a silver lining to the fourth quarter's downturn, it would be that many quality companies were equally pummeled by the market sell-off when in fact their businesses remain intact and robust. This broad-based market decline provides a new baseline for revisiting familiar names as well as new investment opportunities. In an environment of decelerating growth and increased volatility, we believe that a management team's rigor around capital allocation, working capital efficiency, and cash conversion, should differentiate them within their peer group. These attributes are critical to the success of our investments, and we are confident that a disciplined process that factors in the above criteria should be rewarded over time.

2018 Annual Report 2

Paradigm Value Fund

The Paradigm Value Fund (PVFAX) declined 2.07% in 2018, compared to a decline of 12.86% for the benchmark Russell 2000 Value. Since inception (January 1, 2003) on an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 12.06%, compared to 9.02% for the benchmark.

The Health Care and Information Technology sectors were the largest contributors to relative outperformance in 2018. The portfolio's Health Care sector gain of 29.81% far outpaced the benchmark's decline of 11.97% . In Information Technology the portfolio's gain of 4.59% outperformed the benchmark's decline of 12.46% . Both sectors' relative outperformance was driven by stock selection.

Industrials was the most challenging sector in 2018 due to contrarian holdings in the Construction industry and overall macro weakness in the building products industry.

Paradigm Select Fund

The Paradigm Select Fund (PFSLX) declined 9.93% in 2018, compared to a decline of 10.00% for the benchmark Russell 2500. Since inception (January 1, 2005) on an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 7.77%, compared to 7.55% for the benchmark.

The Consumer Discretionary and Energy sectors were the largest contributors to relative outperformance in 2018. Both were driven by stock selection while Energy also benefitted from its underweight allocation relative to the benchmark.

Challenging performance in the Industrials sector caused it to be the largest detractor to fund performance in 2018, driven by stock-specific weakness in building products holdings.

Paradigm Opportunity Fund

The Paradigm Opportunity Fund (PFOPX) declined 2.84% in 2018, compared to a decline of 11.01% for the benchmark Russell 2000. Since inception (January 1, 2005) on an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 6.49%, compared to 6.76% for the benchmark.

Relative outperformance was driven primarily by stock selection in the Health Care sector as portfolio holdings gained 31.81%, significantly outpacing the benchmark sector's 6.58% decline. Relative outperformance was primarily driven by holdings in the Health Care Technology and Health Care Equipment & Services industries.

Contribution to relative outperformance was also supported by the Energy, Consumer Discretionary, and Information Technology sectors.

The Industrials sector was the primary underperforming sector due to stock-specific setbacks.

2018 Annual Report 3

Paradigm Micro-Cap Fund

The Paradigm Micro-Cap Fund (PVIVX) declined 10.96% in 2018, compared to a decline of 13.08% for its benchmark, the Russell Microcap Index. Since inception (January 1, 2008) on an annualized basis, the Fund has returned 6.53%, compared to 5.60% for the benchmark.

Relative outperformance was driven primarily by stock selection in the Health Care and Consumer Discretionary sectors. Performance was particularly strong in the Health Care sector: Portfolio holdings gained 27.19%, significantly outpacing the benchmark sector's 9.20% decline. An overweight allocation to Health Care Equipment & Services coupled with the avoidance of Biotech industry exposure drove the relative outperformance.

The Industrials and Information Technology sectors were the most challenging sectors in 2018 due to stock-specific headwinds.

Russell Microcap® Index^(B)	-13.08%	5.79%	3.08%	11.71%

^(B)The Russell Microcap® Index measures the performance of the microcap segment of the U.S. equity market. Microcap stocks make up less than 3% of the U.S. equity market (by market cap) and consist of the smallest 1,000 securities in the small-cap Russell 2000® Index, plus the next smallest eligible securities by market cap. The Russell Microcap is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort performance and characteristics of the true microcap opportunity set. Effective December 27, 2011 the Fund changed its investment strategy. Under normal circumstances, the Micro-Cap Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in common stocks of U.S. micro-cap companies. Therefore, the primary comparative index was changed from the S&P 500® Index to the Russell Microcap® Index.

For purposes of the graph and the accompanying table, it is assumed that all dividends and distributions were reinvested.

Per the Fund’s most recent prospectus, the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expense Ratio is 1.26% . The Total Annual Operating Expense Ratio may not correlate to the expense ratio in the Fund’s financial highlights because the financial highlights only include the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund, not the indirect costs of investing in acquired funds.

2018 Annual Report 26

NOTESTOFINANCIALSTATEMENTS
PARADIGMFUNDS
December 31, 2018

1.) ORGANIZATION
Paradigm Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company that was organized in Ohio as a business trust on September 13, 2002 that offers shares of beneficial interest in a number of separate series, each series representing a distinct fund with its own investment objectives and policies. The Paradigm Value Fund (“Value”) commenced operations on January 1, 2003. Value’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation. The Paradigm Select Fund (“Select”) and Paradigm Opportunity Fund (“Opportunity”) both commenced operations on January 1, 2005 with long-term capital appreciation as their objective. The Paradigm Micro-Cap Fund (“Micro-Cap”) commenced operations on January 1, 2008. Micro-Cap’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, Micro-Cap invests at least 80% of its net assets in the common stocks of U.S. micro-cap companies. Prior to December 27, 2011, the principal investment strategy of Micro-Cap was to invest primarily in the common stocks of small, mid or large capitalization companies that the Advisor (defined below) believed had the potential for capital appreciation. Value, Select, Opportunity and Micro-Cap are all diversified funds. The advisor to Value, Select, Opportunity and Micro-Cap (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) is Paradigm Funds Advisor LLC (the “Advisor”).

2.) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946Financial Services - Investment Companies. The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Funds follows the significant accounting policies described in this section.

SECURITY VALUATION:All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER:Security transactions are recorded based on a trade date for financial statement reporting purposes. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, if any, is recognized on an accrual basis. The Funds use the highest cost basis which is a form of specific identification in computing gain or loss on sale of investment securities. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The Funds may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) that pay distributions to their shareholders based on available funds from operations. It is common for these distributions to exceed the REITs’ taxable earnings and profits resulting in the excess portion of such distribution to be designated as return of capital. Distributions received from REITs are generally recorded as dividend income and, if necessary, are reclassified annually in accordance with tax information provided by the underlying REITs.

SHARE VALUATION:Each Fund’s net asset value (the “NAV”) is calculated as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) every day the Exchange is open. The NAV for each Fund is calculated by taking the total value of the Fund’s assets, subtracting its liabilities, and then dividing by the total number of shares outstanding, rounded to the nearest cent. The offering price and redemption price per share is equal to the net asset value per share, except that shares of each Fund are subject to a redemption fee of 2% if redeemed within 90 days of purchase. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 proceeds from redemption fees were $8,891, $0, $565 and $449 for Value, Select, Opportunity and Micro-Cap, respectively.

INCOME TAXES:The Funds’ policy is to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. It is the Funds’ policy to distribute annually, prior to the end of the calendar year, dividends sufficient to satisfy excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. This Internal Revenue Code requirement may cause an excess of distributions over the book year-end accumulated income. In addition, it is the Funds’ policy to distribute annually, after the end of the fiscal year, any remaining net investment income and net realized capital gains.

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of certain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as

2018 Annual Report 27

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

U.S. Federal and New York State tax authorities; the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

ESTIMATES:The financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS:Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassification will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of any Fund. These adjustments were primarily attributed to the reclassification of net investment loss and the usage of equalization for tax purposes.

Paid In Capital	($18,135	)
Total Distributable Earnings	$18,135

Micro-Cap

Total Distributable Earnings	$359,211

3.) SECURITIES VALUATIONS
The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ best information about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the assets or liabilities.

The availability of inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.

Equity securities (common stocks and real estate investment trusts)Equity securities that are traded on any exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are valued at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, a long security is valued at its last bid price except when, in the Advisor’s opinion, the last bid price does not accurately reflect the fair value of the long security. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are classified in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Advisor determines the last bid price does not accurately reflect the fair value or when restricted securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Advisor, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Trustees” or the “Board”) and are categorized in level 2 or level 3, when appropriate.

Money market funds.Money market funds are valued at net asset value and are classified in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

In accordance with the Trust’s good faith pricing guidelines, the Advisor is required to consider all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which it has determined other pricing sources are not available or reliable as described above. There is no single standard for determining fair value, since fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current fair value of an issue of securities being valued by the Advisor would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods which are in accordance with this principle may, for example, be based on (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) a discount from market of a similar freely traded security (including a derivative security or a basket of securities traded on other markets, exchanges or among dealers); or (iii) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods.

The following tables summarize the inputs used to value each Fund’s assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2018:

4.) INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
The Trust, with respect to each of the Funds, has an investment advisory agreement (collectively the “Management Agreements”) with the Advisor. Under the terms of the Management Agreements, the Advisor manages the investment portfolios of the Funds, subject to policies adopted by the Trustees. Under the Management Agreements, the Advisor, at its own expense and without reimbursement from the Trust, furnishes office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and executive personnel necessary for managing the assets of the Funds. The Advisor pays all operating expenses of the Funds with the exception of taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expenses on securities sold short) and such extraordinary or non-recurring expenses as may arise, including litigation to which the Fund may be a party and indemnification of the Trustees and Trust officers with respect thereto. The Funds will also pay expenses that they are authorized to pay pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (none are currently authorized). The Advisor also pays the salaries and fees of all of its officers and employees that serve as officers and trustees of the Trust. For its services and payment of certain Fund expenses as described below, the Advisor receives an annual investment management fee of 1.50%, 1.50%, 1.50%, and 1.25% of the average daily net assets from Value, Select, Opportunity and Micro-Cap, respectively. Prior to May 1, 2017, Value paid the Advisor an annual investment management fee of 2.00% of the average daily net assets on assets up to and including $100 million and 1.75% of the average daily net assets over $100 million. Additionally, prior to May 1, 2017, Opportunity's management fee was 2.00% of the average daily net assets. As a result of the above calculations, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, the Advisor earned management fees (before the waivers described below) totaling $901,890, $395,695, $157,139 and $673,800 for Value, Select, Opportunity, and Micro-Cap, respectively. At December 31, 2018, $68,423, $23,076, $12,089 and $48,786 was due to the Advisor from Value, Select, Opportunity and Micro-Cap, respectively. The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive management fees and/or reimburse Select and Opportunity to the extent necessary to maintain total annual operating expenses of the Funds (excluding brokerage fees and commissions, interest and other borrowing expenses, taxes, extraordinary expenses and indirect costs of investing in acquired funds) at 1.15% and 1.25%, respectively, of daily net assets through April 30, 2019. The Advisor waived $92,323 and $26,186 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 for Select and Opportunity, respectively, pursuant to their contractual agreements. There is no recapture provision to these waivers.

5.) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain officers and shareholders of the Advisor are also officers and/or a Trustee of the Trust. These individuals may receive benefits from the Advisor resulting from management fees paid to the Advisor from the Funds.

The Trustees who are not interested persons of the Funds were paid a total of $36,000, in Trustees fees for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 for the Trust. Under the Management Agreements, the Advisor pays these fees.

6.) INVESTMENTS
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, purchases and sales of investment securities other than U.S. Government obligations and short-term investments were as follows:

	Value	Select	Opportunity	Micro-Cap
Purchases	$11,627,075	$5,528,936	$5,549,393	$59,501,674
Sales	$19,361,948	$4,993,838	$1,875,967	$57,282,647

There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government obligations.

7.) CONTROL OWNERSHIP
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting shares of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. At December 31, 2018, National Financial Services, LLC, located at 200 Liberty Street, New York, New York, for the benefit of its customers, held, in aggregate, 36.40% of Value, and therefore also may be deemed to control Value. Candace King Weir, beneficial owner located at 9 Elk Street, Albany, New York 12207, held, in aggregate, 81.61%, of Select, and therefore may be deemed to control Select. Candace King Weir, beneficial owner located at 9 Elk Street, Albany, New York 12207, held, in aggregate, 67.83%, of Opportunity, and therefore may be deemed to control Opportunity. Candace King Weir, beneficial owner located at 9 Elk Street, Albany, New York 12207, held, in aggregate, 85.55% of Micro-Cap, and therefore may be deemed to control Micro-Cap.

8.) TAX MATTERS
For federal income tax purposes, at December 31, 2018 the cost of securities on a tax basis and the composition of gross unrealized appreciation (the excess of value over tax cost) and depreciation (the excess of tax cost over value) were as follows:

Long-term Capital Gain	5,450,668	3,069,005
	$ 5,495,670	$ 3,176,931

As of December 31, 2018, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

	Value	Select
Undistributed ordinary income	$ 60,862	$ 4,928
Undistributed capital gain	62,769	-
Unrealized appreciation	17,212,373	2,284,051

Undistributed capital gain	92	5,884
Unrealized appreciation	2,220,275	469,058
	$ 2,220,367	$ 474,942

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and temporary tax basis adjustments resulting from underlying investment mergers.

9.) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent events after the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Paradigm Funds

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Paradigm Funds, comprising Paradigm Value Fund, Paradigm Select Fund, Paradigm Opportunity Fund, and Paradigm Micro-Cap Fund (the “Funds”), as of December 31, 2018, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of December 31, 2018, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2018, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2004.

DISCLOSURE OFEXPENSES
(Unaudited)

The ongoing costs to shareholders associated with the Paradigm Value Fund, Paradigm Select Fund, Paradigm Opportunity Fund and Paradigm Micro-Cap Fund consist solely of management fees. Although the Funds charge no sales loads or transaction fees, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC, the Funds’ transfer agent. IRA accounts will be charged an $8.00 annual maintenance fee. If shares are redeemed within 90 days of purchase from the Funds, the shares are subject to a 2% redemption fee. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested in the Funds on July 1, 2018 and held through December 31, 2018.

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6) and then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses paid by a shareholder for the period. Shareholders may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. In order to do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in other funds’ shareholder reports.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as the annual maintenance fee charged to IRA accounts, redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
