| 2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies” including Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08.
Securities Valuation –Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the primary exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Futures and future options are valued at the final settled price or, in the absence of a settled price, at the last sale price on the day of valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term

obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions or market quotations from a major market maker in the securities. Investments valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost.
Valuation of Underlying Funds – The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value to the methods established by the board of directors of the Underlying Funds.
Open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The shares of many closed-end investment companies, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by the Funds will not change.
The Funds may hold securities, such as private investments, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities will be valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to a fair value committee composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) advisor. The committee may also enlist third party consultants such as a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board has also engaged a third party valuation firm to attend valuation meetings held by the Trust, review minutes of such meetings and report to the Board on a quarterly basis. The Board reviews and ratifies the execution of this process and the resultant fair value prices at least quarterly to assure the process produces reliable results.
Fair Valuation Process –As noted above, the fair value committee is composed of one or more representatives from each of the (i) Trust, (ii) administrator, and (iii) advisor. The applicable investments are valued collectively via inputs from each of these groups. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source), (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the advisor, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument. Factors which may cause the advisor to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an ask price is available; the spread between bid and ask prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred (a “significant event”) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to the Funds’ calculation of their net asset value. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid securities, such as private investments or non-traded securities are valued via inputs from the advisor based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If the advisor is unable to obtain a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties, the fair value committee shall determine the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of the Funds’ holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.

Each Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of all of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 –Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.
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’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable 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.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of December 31, 2019 for the Funds’ investments measured at fair value:

Security Transactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. The accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars.
Exchange Traded Funds– The Funds may invest in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). ETFs are a type of fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. ETFs trade like common stock and represent a fixed portfolio of securities. The Funds may purchase ETFs to gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market. The risks of owning ETFs generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although a potential lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
Exchange Traded Notes – The Funds may invest in exchange traded notes (“ETNs”). ETNs are a type of debt security that is linked to the performance of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETN generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity on an ETN could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETNs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders –Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date and are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (i.e., deferred losses, capital loss carry forwards) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets, results from operations or net asset value per share of the Funds.
Federal Income Tax – The Funds intend to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income and net realized gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provisions are required. The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain 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 ended June 30, 2017 - 2019, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ June 30, 2020 tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal and Ohio, and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments. 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.

Expenses –Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific fund are charged to that fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the funds in the Trust.
Indemnification –The Trust indemnifies its Officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.

Distributor – The distributor of the Funds is Northern Lights Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor” or “NLD”). The Board has adopted, on behalf of the Funds, the Trust’s Master Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plan (the “Plan”), as amended, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, to pay for certain distribution activities and shareholder services. Under the Plan, each Fund may pay 0.25% per year of the average daily net assets of Class A shares and 1.00% per year of the average daily net assets of Class C shares for such distribution and shareholder service activities. For the six months ended December 31, 2019 the Funds incurred distribution fees as follows:

Blu Giant, LLC (“Blu Giant”), an affiliate of GFS and the Distributor, provides EDGAR conversion and filing services as well as print management services for the Funds on an ad-hoc basis. For the provision of these services, Blu Giant receives customary fees from the Funds.
On February 1, 2019, NorthStar Financial Services Group, LLC, the parent company of GFS and its affiliated companies including NLD, NLCS and Blu Giant (collectively, the “Gemini Companies”), sold its interest in the Gemini Companies to a third party private equity firm that contemporaneously acquired Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (an independent mutual fund administration firm) and its affiliates (collectively, the “Ultimus Companies”). As a result of these separate transactions, the Gemini Companies and the Ultimus Companies are now indirectly owned through a common parent entity, The Ultimus Group, LLC.
Under an agreement (the “Securities Lending Agreement”) with the Securities Finance Trust Company (“SFTC”), the Funds can lend their portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions approved by the Board to earn additional income. For each securities loan, the borrower shall transfer collateral in an amount determined by applying the margin to the market value of the loaned available securities (102% for same currency and 105% for cross currency). Collateral is invested in highly liquid, short-term instruments such as money market funds in accordance with the Funds’ security lending procedures. The Funds continue to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. The Funds have the right under the Securities Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand; if the borrower fails to deliver the securities on a timely basis, the Funds could experience delays or losses on recovery. Additionally, the Funds are subject to the risk of loss from investments made with the cash received as collateral. The Funds manage credit exposure arising from these lending transactions by, in appropriate circumstances, entering into master netting agreements and collateral agreements with third party borrowers that provide in the event of default (such as bankruptcy or a borrower’s failure to pay or perform), the right to net a third-party borrower’s rights and obligations under such agreement and liquidate and set off collateral against the net amount owed by the counterparty.
The following table breaks out the Funds’ securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings with cash collateral of overnight and continuous maturities as of December 31, 2019:

Power Dividend Index Fund (“Power Dividend”), Power Dividend Mid-Cap Index Fund (“Power Dividend Mid”), Power Floating Rate Index Fund (“Power Floating”), Power Global Tactical Allocation/JAForlines Fund (“Power Global”), Power Income Fund (“Power Income”) and PowerMomentum Index Fund (“Power Momentum”) (Adviser – W.E. Donoghue, LLC)*
In connection with the regular meeting held on September 25-26, 2019 of the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees” or the “Board”) of the Northern Lights Fund Trust (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the re-approval of an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between W.E. Donoghue & Co., LLC (“Adviser”) and the Trust, with respect to the Power Dividend, Power Dividend Mid, Power Floating, Power Global, Power Income and Power Momentum (referred to as the “Power Funds”). In considering the re-approval of the Advisory Agreement, the Board received materials specifically relating to the Advisory Agreement.
The Trustees were assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the Advisory Agreement review process. The Trustees relied upon the advice of independent legal counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the Advisory Agreement.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services.The Trustees noted that the adviser was founded in 1986 and had $2.25 billion in combined assets under management and advisement, providing rules-based tactical allocation strategies and professional investment management services to individuals, corporations and institutions. The Trustees reviewed the background information on the key investment personnel who were responsible for servicing the Funds, taking into account their education and noting the investment team’s diverse financial industry experience. The Trustees discussed the different rules-based investment processes that the adviser used to manage each Fund’s strategy, noting the importance of having risk management tactical indicators built into each strategy. The Trustees discussed the adviser’s unique risk management process with respect to each Fund’s strategy, noting that each Fund had its own set of rules-based tactical indicators to determine when and how much to de-risk in declining markets and shift the portfolio into a defensive mode, as deemed appropriate. The Trustees noted that the adviser selected broker-dealers based on the evaluation of various qualitative service factors and competitive pricing structures and active monitoring of best execution and trade recap reports. The Trustees noted that the adviser’s active management style allowed the Funds to be defensive when deemed appropriate to ensure low volatility and capital preservation. The Trustees concluded that the adviser was likely to continue to provide high quality services to each Fund for the benefit of the shareholders.
Performance.
Power Dividend –The Trustees noted that for each of the one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception periods, the Fund had underperformed its peer group median and Morningstar category median, placing it in the bottom decile for returns versus the peer group and Morningstar category for all periods presented. The Trustees observed that, despite the low relative returns, the Fund had produced a consistently solid standard deviation, in the top quartile over each period presented. The Trustees noted that the whipsaws and equal weighting of the Fund’s positions over the last year had dramatically penalized the Fund in a market that has favored stocks that the Fund’s strategy avoids. The Trustees noted that the adviser stood behind this strategy and believed it would prove favorable over a full market cycle. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded the adviser should be retained to improve performance and decided to re-evaluate the Fund’s performance at a future Board meeting.
Power Dividend Mid –The Trustees noted that for each of the one-year and since inception periods, the Fund had underperformed its peer group median and Morningstar category median, placing it in the bottom quartile for returns versus the peer group and Morningstar category for all periods presented. The Trustees further observed that despite the low relative returns, the Fund had produced a consistently strong standard deviation, in the top decile over each period presented. The Trustees noted that a substantial whipsaw in late 2018 into early 2019 had significantly impacted the Fund’s overall performance due to the Fund’s overweighting of cash. The Trustees further observed that the Fund outpaced its index in 2018 until the whipsaw. The Trustees noted that the adviser stood behind this strategy and believed it would prove favorable over a full market cycle. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded the adviser implemented the strategy as expected and should be retained to improve performance and implement the strategy as designed.
Power Floating –The Trustees noted that, for the one-year period, the Fund outpaced its peer group median and its Morningstar category, but noted that the Fund had underperformed both since inception. The Trustees noted that over both periods presented, the Fund had done a reasonable job producing top quartile standard deviation relative to its peers and the Morningstar category. The Trustees noted that the adviser believed the Fund would prove favorable over a full market cycle and continue to provide investors with low volatility. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that the adviser’s performance was not unsatisfactory.
Power Global –The Trustees noted that the Fund outpaced its peer group median over the one-year and since inception periods but underperformed its Morningstar category over the same periods presented. The Trustees noted that over both periods presented, the Fund had done a reasonable job producing second quartile standard deviation relative to its peers and the Morningstar category. The Trustees noted that the Fund had lagged its benchmarks over all periods presented due to its defensive nature. The Trustees noted that the adviser believed the Fund would prove favorable over a full market cycle and continue to provide investors with low volatility. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that given the short history of the Fund, the adviser’s performance was not unsatisfactory.
Power Income –The Trustees noted that for the one-year period, the Fund outpaced its peer group median and its Morningstar category, producing top quartile returns, but further noted that the Fund had underperformed over the three, five and since inception periods. The Trustees also noted that the Fund had outperformed its benchmark over longer periods. The Trustees noted that over five and since inception periods, the Fund had produced top quartile standard deviation relative to its peers
but noted that the standard deviation over the one-year period was third quartile. The Trustees noted that the Fund appeared to be meeting expectations for a low bond return environment and identified that with markets to date, the Fund provided reasonable yield with reasonable stability. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that the adviser’s performance was not unsatisfactory.
Power Momentum –The Trustees noted that the Fund outperformed while generating lower standard deviation relative to its peer group and Morningstar category over all periods presented. The Trustees noted that the Fund generated some income consistent with the Fund’s secondary investment objective income. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that the adviser had done a good job implementing the stated strategy, that the results had been beneficial to shareholders and that performance was not unsatisfactory.
Fees and Expenses.
Power Dividend –The Trustees considered the advisory fee of 1.00%, noting that it was significantly higher than its peer group median and its Morningstar category median of 0.61% and 0.60%, respectively. The Trustees discussed that the adviser’s justification for the fee was due to the adviser’s risk management and the Fund’s ability to move 100% into short-term treasuries during downturns relative to its peer group that do not have this ability. The Trustees discussed the Fund’s net expense ratio of 1.24%, noting that it too, was significantly higher than its peer group median and its Morningstar category median, but within the range of each. The Trustees noted the adviser’s intention to renew the current expense caps for the Fund. The Trustees observed a material drop in assets over the past year as a contributing factor to the increased annual expense ratio. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee of the Fund was not unreasonable.
Power Dividend Mid –The Trustees considered the advisory fee of 1.00%, noting that it was higher than its peer group median and its Morningstar category median of 0.77% and 0.71%, respectively. The Trustees discussed that the adviser’s justification for the fee was due to the Fund’s reduced standard deviation, drawdown and its tactical ability to move 100% into short-term treasuries and the higher trading and compliance resources needed to manage the Fund. The Trustees discussed the Fund’s net expense ratio of 1.48%, noting that it was significantly higher than its peer group median and its Morningstar category median. The Trustees noted an increase in assets over the past year and considered that the overall expense ratio for the Fund should decline as assets increase. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee of the Fund was not unreasonable.
Power Floating –The Trustees considered the adviser’s advisory fee of 0.65%, noting that it was in line with its peer group median and slightly higher than its Morningstar category median. The Trustees discussed that the adviser’s justification for the fee was due to the adviser’s risk management and the Fund’s tactical ability to move assets during major downturns. The Trustees discussed the Fund’s net expense ratio of 1.71%, noting that it was significantly higher than its peer group median and Morningstar category median. The Trustees noted an increase in assets over the past year and considered that the overall expense ratio for the Fund should decline as assets increase. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee of the Fund was not unreasonable.
Power Global –The Trustees considered the advisory fee of 0.75%, noting that it was lower than its peer group median and its Morningstar category median of 1.00% and 0.95%, respectively. The Trustees discussed that the adviser’s justification for the fee was due to the additional compliance services that were required and the additional trading of daily cash flows. The Trustees discussed the
Fund’s net expense ratio of 1.35%, noting that it too, was lower than its peer group median and Morningstar category median. They considered that the overall expense ratio for the Fund should decline as assets increase. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee of the Fund was not unreasonable.
Power Income –The Trustees considered the advisory fee of 1.00%, noting that it was equal to its peer group median, but higher than its Morningstar category of 0.60%, but well within the range. They noted the adviser’s justification for the higher fee was due to the adviser’s risk management and the Fund’s tactical ability to move 100% into cash. They considered that the overall expense ratio for the Fund should decline as assets increase. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee of the Fund was not unreasonable.
Power Momentum –The Trustees considered the advisory fee of 1.00%, noting that it was equal to its peer group median and higher than its Morningstar category median. The Trustees discussed the Fund’s net expense ratio of 1.54%, noting that it was higher than its peer group median and Morningstar category. They noted the adviser’s justification for the fee was due to the tactical nature of the strategy, the individual stock selection process and the added compliance and operational functions specific to the Fund. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee of the Fund was not unreasonable.
Profitability.The Trustees reviewed the profitability analysis provided by the adviser. The Trustees examined the adviser’s responses and noted that the adviser’s calculations demonstrated profitability for each Fund ranged considerably but determined that the adviser’s profitability with respect to each Fund was not unreasonable. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that the adviser’s profitability relating to each Fund was not excessive.
Economies of Scale.The Trustees noted that all of the Funds advised by the adviser collectively lost $1.14 billion in assets under management over the past twelve months. The Trustees observed that the adviser only predicted growth in two of the nine Funds over the next year. The Trustees noted that the adviser was willing to consider adding a breakpoint at $1.0 billion of assets for each Fund as assets grow.
Conclusion.Having requested and received such information from the adviser as the Trustees believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of each advisory agreement, and as assisted by the advice of counsel, the Trustees concluded that the renewal of the advisory agreement with the adviser was in the best interest of each Power Fund and its respective shareholders.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE (Unaudited) |
December 31, 2019 |
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemptions fees on certain redemptions; (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.
Actual Expenses
The “Actual” columns in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below; together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The “Hypothetical” columns in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio 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 balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
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 sales charges (loads), or redemption fees. Therefore, 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.
