MAIRS & POWER FUNDS MARKET COMMENTARY (unaudited)
February 14, 2013
Fourth Quarter Results
Reflecting such uncertainties as the Presidential Election, the "Fiscal Cliff" and related tax changes, European financial problems, Middle East turmoil and the growth outlook for China, the overall U.S. stock market was relatively flat during the fourth quarter with the Standard & Poor's 500 showing a slight negative return of -0.38%. Other indexes such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the broader Russell 3000 Index showed similar respective returns of -1.74% and 0.25%.
Recently reported real Gross Domestic Product numbers for the fourth quarter showed a disappointing preliminary reading of -0.1%. Even though the slightly negative figure resulted primarily from lower government spending (mainly defense) and some inventory liquidation, growth in the more important areas of the economy such as consumer and business spending were less than most forecasters had been looking for. While some improvement seems to be taking place in recent employment figures, the basic underlying unemployment rate remains basically unchanged at just under 8%. Although at a reduced rate, corporate profits are believed to have increased during the quarter in response to continuing cost reduction programs as well as an ever increasing contribution from foreign operations.
As a consequence of efforts to improve the rate of domestic economic growth and reduce unemployment, the Federal Reserve continues to implement a very stimulative monetary policy aimed at keeping short-term interest rates at historically low levels. Longer term interest rates have similarly come under downward pressure as a result of successive quantitative easing programs using Federal Reserve credit to make open market purchases of outstanding bonds.
Future Outlook
Despite the many negatives continuing to face the economy such as higher taxes, uncertain health care costs and greater regulation, some modest level of overall economic growth in the area of 2% still seems achievable. This forecast results from a number of positive factors including the likelihood of a continuing low level of interest rates, some improvement in the employment picture, a further recovery in housing from very depressed levels and rising export demand from faster growing emerging markets such as China. Corporate profits also seem likely to show continuing growth in response to continuing productivity gains and a rising contribution from foreign operations.
Recent Federal Reserve policy statements suggest a low interest rate policy will continue over the foreseeable future unless unemployment shows a noticeable improvement and/or inflation becomes a more serious issue. Any pronounced weakening of the U. S. Dollar in foreign exchange markets could also cause the Fed to reverse course because of the potential impact on inflation.
Assuming a stable interest rate environment and some increase in corporate earnings, the outlook for the stock prices remains favorable. Although stock prices have continued to move up, valuation levels remain reasonable considering the historically low level of interest rates as well as a continuing higher than normal equity risk premium. Finally, market liquidity does not appear to be an issue with money continuing to move out of lower yielding fixed income investments and into stocks. Corporations are also under increasing pressure to use balance sheet liquidity to fund stock buyback programs and/or increase dividends.

MAIRS & POWER GROWTH FUND (unaudited)
To Our Shareholders: February 14, 2013
The relatively strong performance enjoyed by the Growth Fund during the first three quarters of the year continued during the final period. Thanks to the outstanding gains shown by a number of individual issues, the Fund produced a return of 3.00% compared to a slightly negative return of -0.38% for the benchmark Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index and -1.74% for the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). The Fund's performance also compared favorably against the peer group Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index which had a return of 1.70%. Performance benefited from over- weightings in health care and several industrial categories as well as below average representation in such poor performing sectors as energy, consumer staples, technology and utilities. Among individual holdings Badger Meter (+30.28%), Cray (+25.59%), Daktronics (+16.40%), H. B. Fuller (+13.49%) and Valspar (+11.23%) did best while Western Union (-25.30%), St. Jude Medical (-14.22%), Intel (-9.04%), General Electric (-7.57%) and US Bancorp (-6.88%) fared the worst.
For the full year, the Fund showed a particularly strong performance both on an absolute basis as well as relative to its benchmark and its peers. The full year return of +21.91% compared to lesser returns of 16.00% for the benchmark S&P 500 and 10.24% for the DJIA. The peer group Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index also had a lesser return of 16.15%. Like the fourth quarter, full year results benefited significantly from having virtually no representation in energy and utilities, the two worst performing sectors of the market. Conversely, the Fund was well represented in some of the better performing sectors such as consumer cyclical, financial and health care. While several smaller holdings like Badger Meter, Cray and SurModics did well for the full year, it was some of the larger holdings such as Valspar (+60.12%), H. B. Fuller (+50.67%), Pentair (+47.64%), Toro (+41.71%) and Baxter Int'l (+34.72%) that carried the day.

All investments have risks. The Growth Fund is designed for long-term investors. Equity investments are subject to market fluctuations, and the Fund's share price can fall because of weakness in the broad market, a particular industry, or specific holdings. Investments in small and midcap companies generally are more volatile. International investing risks include among others political, social or economic instability, difficulty in predicting international trade patterns, taxation and foreign trading practices, and greater fluctuations in price than United States corporations.

MAIRS & POWER BALANCED FUND (unaudited)
To Our Shareholders: February 14, 2013
The Balanced Fund finished up the year with another relatively strong performance in the fourth quarter. The Fund produced an investment return of 2.36% compared to a lesser, slightly negative benchmark composite (60% S&P 500 Stock Index and 40% Barclays Gov't/Credit Bond Index) return of -0.07%. Breaking the composite down, the S&P 500 showed a negative return of -0.38% while the Barclays Gov't/Credit Index had a positive return of 0.37%. The peer group Lipper Balanced Funds Index came through with a return of 1.22%. The Fund benefited from an above average representation in the better performing financial, health care and industrial sectors on the equity side of the portfolio while also having a lower representation in the poorer performing sectors, such as consumer staples, technology and utilities. The best individual performers included Bank of America (+31.37%), H. B. Fuller (+13.49%), Valspar (+11.23%), Ecolab (+10.94%) and Murphy Oil (+10.91%) while the poorest performers included Sturm, Ruger (-8.26%), IBM (-7.66%), General Electric (-7.57%), U. S. Bancorp (-6.88%) and Target (-6.77%). A high percentage of corporate bonds helped performance on the fixed income side of the portfolio with yield spreads continuing to narrow.
For the full year, the Fund came through with a relatively strong return of 17.34% which compared quite favorably to an 11.58% return for its benchmark composite index. The Fund also showed a strong comparison with a peer group Lipper Balanced Funds Index which came in with a lower 11.94% return. Like the fourth quarter, the Fund benefited from above average weightings in the better performing industry sectors and below average exposure to the poorer performing sectors. Turning to individual holdings, Bank of America (+108.6%), Valspar (+60.12%), Ingersoll-Rand (+57.40%), H. B. Fuller (+50.67%) and Pentair (+47.64%) did the best while SUPERVALU (-69.58%), Bristol-Myers Squibb (-7.52%), Xcel Energy (-3.36%), Corning (-2.77%) and BP PLC (-2.57%) fared the worst.

MAIRS & POWER SMALL CAP FUND (unaudited)
To Our Shareholders: February 14, 2013
The relatively strong performance enjoyed by the Small Cap Fund during the first three quarters of the year continued during the final period. The Fund produced a return of 3.39% compared to a return of 2.22% for the benchmark Standard & Poor's 600 Index in the fourth quarter. The Fund's performance also compared favorably with the Lipper Small Cap Core Funds Index which had a return of 3.11%. Performance relative to the S&P 600 benefited from significant over weights in the market-leading industrial and basic materials sectors. A slightly underweight position in the underperforming healthcare sector also helped fourth quarter relative performance. Among individual holdings Badger Meter (+30.28%), Cray (+25.59%), Apogee Enterprises (+22.17%), Titan Machinery (+21.79%) and Proto Labs (+16.56%) did best while Cabela's (-23.65%), Buffalo Wild Wings (-15.07%) and VASCO Data Security (-13.01%) fared the worst.
For the full year, the Fund showed a particularly strong performance both on an absolute basis as well as relative to its benchmark and peers. The full year return of +30.60% compared to a return of 16.33% for the benchmark S&P 600. The peer group Lipper Small Cap Core Funds Index also had a lesser return of 15.94%. Like the fourth quarter, full year relative performance benefitted from significant over weights in the industrial and basic materials sectors. However, relative full year performance was held back slightly by an underweight position in the strong performing consumer discretionary sector. Among individual holdings, Cray (+146.52%), Apogee Enterprises (+95.51%), Cabela's (+64.24%), Badger Meter (+61.09%), and Valspar (+60.12%) did the best. LKQ Corporation (-29.85%), Superior Energy Services (-27.14%) and Advent Software (-12.23%) fared the worst.

All investments have risks. The Small Cap Fund is designed for long-term investors. Equity investments are subject to market fluctuations, the Fund's share price can fall because of weakness in the broad market, a particular industry, or specific holdings. Investments in small and midcap companies generally are more volatile. International investing risks include among others political, social or economic instability, difficulty in predicting international trade patterns, taxation and foreign trading practices, and greater fluctuations in price than United States corporations. The Fund may invest in initial public offerings by small cap companies, which can involve greater risks than investments in companies which are already publicly traded.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2012
Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Mairs & Power Funds Trust (the Trust), a Delaware statutory trust, was formed on May 10, 2011. The Trust is a no-load, diversified, open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). Mairs & Power Growth Fund (the Growth Fund), Mairs & Power Balanced Fund (the Balanced Fund), and Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund (the Small Cap Fund) (individually a Fund and collectively the Funds) are series within the Trust. Effective August 11, 2011, the Small Cap Fund was added as a new series to the Trust. Effective December 31, 2011, the Growth Fund and Balanced Fund were added as new series to the Trust following the reorganization of Mairs and Power Growth Fund, Inc. and Mairs and Power Balanced Fund, Inc. into the Trust. The objective of the Growth Fund is to provide shareholders with a diversified portfolio of common stocks, which have the potential for above-average, long-term appreciation. The objectives of the Balanced Fund are to provide shareholders with regular current income, the potential for capital appreciation and a moderate level of risk by investing in a diversified portfolio including bonds, preferred stocks, common stocks, and other securities convertible into common stock. The objective of the Small Cap Fund is to seek above-average, long-term appreciation.
Significant accounting policies of the Funds are as follows:
Security Valuations
Security valuations for the Funds' investments are furnished by independent pricing services that have been approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the Board). Investments in listed equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price on the securities exchange or at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price if readily available for such securities on each business day. Other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Debt obligations exceeding 60 days to maturity are valued by an independent pricing service. The pricing service may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-dealer supplied valuations, or other formula-driven valuation techniques. These techniques generally consider overall market conditions and such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and ratings. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service, but where an active market exists, are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities or from a widely used quotation system. When market quotations are not readily available, or when the last quoted sale price is not considered representative of the value of the security if it were to be sold on that day, the security will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fair Value Committee appointed by the Board, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. Factors that may be considered in determining the fair value of a security are fundamental analytical data relating to the security, the nature and duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the security, and the forces influencing the market in which the security is purchased or sold. As of December 31, 2012, no securities in the Funds were valued using this method.
Fair Valuation Measurements
The Trust has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards, which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
• Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
30
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) December 31, 2012
Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
• Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the net assets of each Fund as of December 31, 2012:
| | Growth Fund | | Balanced Fund | | Small Cap Fund | |
Level 1* | | $ | 2,491,455,103 | | | $ | 196,349,368 | | | $ | 41,758,988 | | |
Level 2** | | | - | | | | 90,009,693 | | | | - | | |
Level 3 | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | |
Total | | $ | 2,491,455,103 | | | $ | 286,359,061 | | | $ | 41,758,988 | | |
* All Level 1 investments are equity securities (common stocks and preferred stocks and securities) and short-term investments.
** All Level 2 investments are fixed income securities, excluding preferred securities.
For detail of securities by major industry classification for the Funds, please refer to the Schedules of Investments.
The Funds had no transfers amongst levels during the period and did not hold any Level 3 investments at either December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011; therefore, a roll forward of Level 3 investments is not required.
On May 12, 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2011-04 modifying FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. At the same time, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 13, Fair Value Measurement. The objective by the FASB and IASB is convergence of their guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures. Specifically, the ASU requires reporting entities to disclose i) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 and the reasons for the transfers, and ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements, a) quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used, b) a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and c) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The effective date of the ASU is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management evaluated the implications of this guidance and concluded the ASU has no impact on the Funds.
Security Transactions and Investment Income
Security transactions are recorded on the date on which securities are purchased or sold. Dividend income and corporate action transactions are recorded on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Realized gains and losses are reported on an identified cost basis.
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a "regulated investment company" as defined in Subtitle A, Chapter 1, Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the Code). No provisions have been made for federal income taxes as it is the intention of each Fund to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to make distributions of income and realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all excise and income taxes.
As of December 31, 2012, the Trust did not have any tax positions that did not meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all tax returns filed for the last three years or, for the Small Cap Fund, all tax returns filed since commencement of operations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) December 31, 2012
Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. Under the Act, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred. In addition, capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous regulation. Management evaluated the implications of this guidance and concluded the Act has no impact on the Funds. As of December 31, 2012, the Growth Fund, Balanced Fund and Small Cap Fund did not have any post-enactment capital loss carryforwards.
Basis of Presentation
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of net assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In preparing these financial statements, the Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. This evaluation did not result in any subsequent events that necessitated recognition or disclosures.
Note 2 – Related-Party Transactions
Common expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated among the Funds based on a ratio predetermined by the Board. Fund specific expenses are charged directly to the Fund that incurred the expense.
Investment Management and Fund Administration Fees
Mairs & Power, Inc. (the Adviser) provides investment management services to the Funds under a written agreement (the Management Agreement) approved by the Board. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Adviser is paid a monthly fee on average daily net assets at the following annual rates:
| | Growth Fund | | Balanced Fund | | Small Cap Fund* | |
Up to $2.5 Billion | | | 0.60 | % | | | 0.60 | % | | | 0.90 | % | |
Over $2.5 Billion | | | 0.50 | % | | | 0.60 | % | | | 0.90 | % | |
The Adviser provides fund administration services to the Funds under a written fund administration servicing agreement approved by the Board. The fund administration fee paid to the Adviser is computed at an annual rate of 0.00281% of average daily net assets. Fund administration fees incurred for the year ended December 31, 2012 and fund administration fees payable to the Adviser as of December 31, 2012 were as follows:
| | Growth Fund | | Balanced Fund | | Small Cap Fund* | |
Fund administration fees incurred | | $ | 63,717 | | | $ | 6,361 | | | $ | 514 | | |
Fund administration fees payable | | | 5,843 | | | | 656 | | | | 90 | | |
Pursuant to a sub-administration agreement between the Funds and U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (USBFS), the Funds are charged a sub-administration fee paid to USBFS. Sub-administration fees from USBFS incurred for the year ended December 31, 2012 and sub-administration fees payable to USBFS as of December 31, 2012 were as follows:
| | Growth Fund | | Balanced Fund | | Small Cap Fund* | |
Sub-administration fees incurred | | $ | 343,669 | | | $ | 25,452 | | | $ | 13,849 | | |
Sub-administration fees payable | | | 114,368 | | | | 6,818 | | | | 2,203 | | |
* The Adviser has agreed to waive the Small Cap Fund's investment management and fund administration fees and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to prevent total annual fund operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other investment-related costs and other extraordinary expenses, such as

litigation and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Small Cap Fund's business) from exceeding 1.25% of daily net assets through December 31, 2014. The Adviser cannot terminate this arrangement before that date without the agreement of the Board.
Trustees' Compensation
Trustees' compensation is paid to individuals who are disinterested trustees. No compensation is paid to the owners of the Adviser, including principal officers who are not trustees of the Funds and William B. Frels and Jon A. Theobald, who are interested trustees and officers of the Trust.
Note 3 – Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain general indemnifications to other parties. The Trust's maximum exposure under these contracts is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. The Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Note 4 – Distributions Paid, Distributable Earnings and Investment Transactions
Net investment income and net realized capital gains (losses) may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book/tax differences. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the difference arises.
In addition, GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. On the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the following reclassifications were made for the year ended December 31, 2012:
| | Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss) | | Undistributed Net Realized Gain (Loss) | | Paid in Capital | |
Balanced Fund | | $ | 12,118 | | | $ | (12,118 | ) | | $ | - | | |
Small Cap Fund | | | (4,432 | ) | | | 4,597 | | | | (165 | ) | |
Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP, and due to the timing of the distributions, the fiscal year in which the amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by each Fund.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were as follows:
Year ended December 31, 2012 | |
Distributions paid from: | | Growth Fund | | Balanced Fund | | Small Cap Fund | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 38,600,956 | | | $ | 6,722,264 | | | $ | 291,357 | | |

Note 4 – Distributions Paid, Distributable Earnings and Investment Transactions (continued)
At December 31, 2012, the components of accumulated earnings (losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | Growth Fund | | Balanced Fund | | Small Cap Fund | |
Cost of investments | | $ | 1,500,832,789 | | | $ | 219,876,934 | | | $ | 37,577,732 | | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 1,095,798,501 | | | $ | 71,856,315 | | | $ | 4,728,780 | | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (105,176,187 | ) | | | (5,374,188 | ) | | | (547,524 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 990,622,314 | | | $ | 66,482,127 | | | $ | 4,181,256 | | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 21,490 | | | $ | - | | | $ | 153 | | |
Undistributed long-term capital gains | | | 1,248 | | | | 13,771 | | | | - | | |
Total distributable earnings | | $ | 22,738 | | | $ | 13,771 | | | $ | 153 | | |
Other accumulated earnings | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | |
Total accumulated earnings | | $ | 990,645,052 | | | $ | 66,495,898 | | | $ | 4,181,409 | | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the tax cost basis adjustment due to receipt of return of capital distributions from certain investments.
Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding government securities, short-term securities and temporary cash investments, during the year ended December 31, 2012 were as follows:
| | Purchases | | Sales | |
Growth Fund | | $ | 98,293,233 | | | $ | 34,936,811 | | |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Mairs and Power Funds Trust
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Mairs and Power Funds Trust (the Trust) (comprising, respectively, Mairs and Power Balanced Fund, Mairs and Power Growth Fund, and Mairs and Power Small Cap Fund), as of December 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the periods indicated therein, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective funds constituting Mairs and Power Funds Trust at December 31, 2012, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for the periods indicated therein, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing expenses for the operation of the Funds (e.g., asset-based charges, such as investment management fees). The Funds are "no-load" mutual funds. As a result, shareholders pay no commissions, fees, or expenses associated with sales representatives or sales charges.
This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The table below reports the Funds' expenses during the period July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 and includes the costs associated with a $1,000 investment.
Actual Expenses
The first line in the tables below may be used to estimate the actual expenses you paid over the reporting period. You can do this by dividing your account value by $1,000 and multiplying the result by the expense shown in the table below. For example, if your account value is $8,600, divided by $1,000 = $8.60. Multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period." By doing this you can estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example
The second line of the tables below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds' actual expenses and assumed returns of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds' actual returns. The results may be used to provide you with a basis for comparing the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. Please note that these hypothetical examples may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid during the period and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
