OCM GOLD FUND
=============
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
MAY 31, 2013
(UNAUDITED)
Dear Fellow Shareholder:
The six month fiscal period ending May 31, 2013, proved to be a challenging time
for gold, gold mining companies, and their investors; despite what we believe to
be a period of heightened uncertainty surrounding the future value of paper
currencies in the face of uncharted central bank monetary policies. During the
six month period, the OCM Gold Fund Investor Class and Advisor Class were down
-36.06% and -35.85%, respectively (Investor Class -38.94% after maximum sales
load). In comparison, the Philadelphia Gold and Silver Index ("XAU") declined
-36.27% and the S&P 500 Index was up 16.43%. Gold bullion in U.S. dollar terms
closed on May 31, 2013 at $1,394.50 (London PM Fixing), down -19.21% over the
six months, which was a large contributor to the Fund's performance. Casting
aside anemic GDP growth figures and stubbornly high unemployment, confidence in
the U.S. economy has gained momentum over the past 18 months as the housing
market has rebounded; the increase in confidence appears to have prompted
capital flows to rotate exposure from defensive positions in gold assets into
equities and junk bonds.

MARKET COMMENTARY
Though agonizing, we believe the steep correction in gold and shares of gold
mining companies from the September 2011 highs has not changed the rationale for
owning gold assets. The accumulation of sovereign debt coupled with extreme
monetary policies pursued by central banks following the 2008 global financial
crisis appears to us to have left paper currencies vulnerable to a rapid loss of
purchasing power. Reinforcing our view, Japan has joined the fray in attempting
to print its way to economic growth through the inflation of asset prices with
the announcement in March of a $1.7 trillion money printing and asset purchase
program. We believe Japan is in a precarious position with a 200% debt to GDP
ratio, poor working age demographics and growing fiscal obligations. Japanese
policy makers appear to be going "all in" with this move, in our opinion. They
may get more than they bargained for. We see the recent volatility in Japan's
10-year bond ("JGB") as a clear warning sign of things to come, with JGB yields
moving beyond the control of the Bank of Japan. It is our view that the Federal
Reserve (the "Fed") will find itself in a similar position, with the market
dictating yields beyond the Fed's comfort level. The follow-on collateral damage
of higher rates in the capital markets, we believe, will mark the perceived
failure of central bank policies and be one of the driving forces to higher gold
prices as paper currencies come into question.
Market focus on the timing of Federal Reserve policy to end its current $85
billion per month quantitative easing ("QE") program appears to have held the
gold market captive over the past few months, with the widespread belief that
the end of QE by the Fed is the end of the need to own gold assets. On the
contrary, we believe the end of QE and the realization that the global economy
has become reliant on the liquidity provided by the Fed will trigger doubt about
the ability of the Fed to refrain from further rounds of QE, despite QE showing
diminishing economic benefits. Perhaps of greater concern is the experimental
nature of the Fed's balance sheet expansion from approximately $500 billion to
$3.5 trillion since 2008. There is no historical precedent of a central bank
leveraging its balance sheet to this extent and we are left wondering what the
secondary effects are going to be. It is unlikely to end well for U.S. dollar
holders, in our opinion. Continued purchases of gold reserves over the past six
months by Asian central banks and the Russian central bank would seem to support
our skepticism of the U.S. dollar's ability to maintain its long-term purchasing
power.
For many gold investors, it has been difficult to stay on point following the
mid-April panic sell-off, which appears to us to have been the result of a
market operation orchestrated by large macro hedge funds and bullion banks to
break the gold price in order to cover long held short positions. The gold price
drop was precipitated by large scale market sell orders in the futures market,
equivalent to about a third of annual mined gold production, coinciding with
investment bank calls for the gold price to decline. The drop of over $200 in
two days was met with pent-up physical demand out of Asia and the Middle East.
The barrage of negative commentary that followed, by those wanting to dance on
gold's grave, helped lead sentiment readings in gold and shares of gold mining
companies to all-time lows. There are parallels of secular gold bull markets to
experiencing a major mid to late cycle correction where investors lose belief
and sentiment turns negative prior to the biggest leg of the cycle. In our
opinion, we are witnessing the final capitulation in the correction of a secular
bull market in gold; similar to the 1975-1976 pull back in gold, when the price
declined from 185 to 103 over an 18 month period only to peak close to 8 times
higher within four years.

SHARES OF GOLD MINING COMPANIES
In our opinion, the argument for owning shares of gold mining companies is that
gold mining companies may offer leverage to the gold price through operating
earnings, increased value of gold reserves in the ground as gold prices rise,
the prospect for participation in cash flow through dividends, and the ability
of gold mining companies to create shareholder value through discovery. However,
somewhere along the way the gold mining industry seems to have lost its way,
through the access to cheap capital and the belief that growth in gold
production without capital discipline was the preferred business model. The
market, through poor share price performance, appears to be bringing management
and the boards of directors of the gold mining companies back in line. We are
seeing high cost expansion projects being shelved along with loss making or low
margin gold production being shelved. The return to sound business principles
with an emphasis on capital discipline, cash flow and dividend payouts sets the
stage for investors to return to shares of gold mining companies and recapture
lost market multiples, in our opinion.
In response to lower gold prices, we have reduced the Fund's exposure to
exploration and development companies that will have difficulty accessing
capital. The Fund has also eliminated positions in companies where management
has failed to execute. Our investment approach in managing the Fund is to
identify and own those gold mining companies that will seek to deliver
shareholder value above the leverage afforded by the gold price, typically
through superior asset quality. The Fund's two largest positions remain
Goldcorp, Inc. and Randgold Resources Ltd. ADR where operating costs, balance
sheets and production growth are favorable, in our opinion.
CONCLUSION
We believe the ongoing policy of socializing risk with monetary and fiscal
policy has destroyed the balance sheets of the Western world. Consequently, the
premise for owning gold assets remains simple, in our opinion: global
deterioration of sovereign credit and a growing need to debase currencies in
order to meet future obligations will lead to a rapid deterioration in the
future purchasing power of paper currencies. We also believe gold will benefit
from the unknown repercussions of central bank manipulation of interest rates,
currency rates and unprecedented liquidity in the banking system. We continue to
believe a new monetary system will ultimately need to be instituted in order to
negate the effects of recent policy. Investors in shares of gold mining
companies may stand to benefit if gold prices rise and investors appreciate the
transformation taking place in the gold mining industry, which is resulting in a
better alignment of management objectives with shareholder interests.
We appreciate your shareholding and confidence in the OCM Gold Fund during this
challenging period and we look forward to our strategy meeting your long-term
objectives. Should you have any questions regarding the Fund or gold, please

INVESTING IN THE OCM GOLD FUND INVOLVES RISKS INCLUDING THE LOSS OF PRINCIPAL.
MANY OF THE COMPANIES IN WHICH THE FUND INVESTS ARE SMALLER CAPITALIZATION
COMPANIES WHICH MAY SUBJECT THE FUND TO GREATER RISK THAN SECURITIES OF LARGER,
MORE-ESTABLISHED COMPANIES, AS THEY OFTEN HAVE LIMITED PRODUCT LINES, MARKETS OR
FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO MORE-ABRUPT MARKET MOVEMENTS. THE FUND
ALSO INVESTS IN SECURITIES OF GOLD AND PRECIOUS METALS WHICH MAY BE SUBJECT TO
GREATER PRICE FLUCTUATIONS OVER SHORT PERIODS OF TIME. THE FUND IS A
NON-DIVERSIFIED INVESTMENT COMPANY MEANING IT WILL INVEST IN FEWER SECURITIES
THAN DIVERSIFIED INVESTMENT COMPANIES AND ITS PERFORMANCE MAY BE MORE VOLATILE.
THE FUND CONTAINS INTERNATIONAL SECURITIES THAT MAY PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR
GREATER RETURN BUT ALSO HAVE SPECIAL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FOREIGN INVESTING
INCLUDING FLUCTUATIONS IN CURRENCY PRICES, GOVERNMENT REGULATION, DIFFERENCES IN
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND LIQUIDITY.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - MAY 31, 2013
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
OCM Mutual Fund (the "Trust") is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trust
was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on January 6, 1984 and consists
of the OCM Gold Fund (the "Fund"). The investment objective for the Fund is
long-term growth of capital through investing primarily in equity securities of
domestic and foreign companies engaged in activities related to gold and
precious metals.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
SECURITY VALUATION -- Portfolio securities that are listed on national
securities exchanges, other than the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, are valued at the
last sale price as of the close of business of such securities exchanges, or, in
the absence of recorded sales, at the average of readily available closing bid
and ask prices on such exchanges. NASDAQ Global Select Market, Global Market and
Capital Market securities are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price
("NOCP"). If a NOCP is not issued for a given day, these securities are valued
at the average of readily available closing bid and asked prices. Unlisted
securities are valued at the average of the quoted bid and ask prices in the
over-the-counter market. Short-term investments which mature in less than 60
days are valued at amortized cost (unless the Board of Trustees determines that
this method does not represent fair value). Short-term investments which mature
after 60 days are valued at market. Securities and other assets for which market
quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in
good faith by the investment adviser under procedures established by and under
the general supervision and responsibility of the Trust's Board of Trustees. For
each investment that is fair valued, the investment adviser considers, to the
extent applicable, various factors including, but not limited to, the type of
security, the financial condition of the company, comparable companies in the
public market, the nature and duration of the cause for a quotation not being
readily available and other relevant factors.
Under FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DISCLOSURES, various inputs are used in
determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized
into three broad levels as described below:
o Level 1--quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
o Level 2--other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices
for similar securities, interest rates, and evaluated quotation
obtained from pricing services)
o Level 3--significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

There were no Level 2 or 3 securities as of May 31, 2013. The Fund
recognizes transfers between Levels at the end of the reporting period. The Fund
held one Level 2 security at November 30, 2012, which was a restricted security
fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the general
supervision of the Trust's Board of Trustees. At May 31, 2013, this security was
no longer restricted and was publicly traded and as such, was considered a Level
1 security. This security represents the only transfer between Levels. The
following is a reconciliation of transfers between Levels for the Fund from
November 30, 2012 to May 31, 2013, represented by recognizing the May 31, 2013

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - MAY 31, 2013
(UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
FOREIGN CURRENCY INVESTMENT securities and other assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the
date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and
expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar
amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not isolate
that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign
exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in
market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations for the six months ended May
31, 2013 are included within the realized and unrealized gain/loss on
investments section of the Statement of Operations.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of
foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and
settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the
amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the
Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or
paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the
fair value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at
fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. Such fluctuations
for the six months ended May 31, 2013 are included within the realized and
unrealized gain/loss on investments section of the Statement of Operations.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of
the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company
and to make the requisite distributions of income to its shareholders which will
be sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all federal income taxes.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ("Income Tax Statement")
requires an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the
course of preparing a Fund's tax returns to determine whether these positions
meet a "more-likely-than-not" standard that, based on the technical merits, have
a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority
upon examination.
A tax position that meets the "more-likely-than-not" recognition threshold
is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial
statements. The Fund policy is to classify interest and penalties associated
with underpayment of federal and state income taxes, if any, as income tax
expense on the Statement of Operations. As of May 31, 2013, the Fund did not
have any interest or penalties associated with the underpayment of any income
taxes.
The Income Tax Statement requires management of the Fund to analyze all
open tax years, fiscals years 2009-2012 as defined by IRS statute of limitations
for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state
tax authorities. As of and during the six months ended May 31, 2013, the Fund
did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund has no
examination in progress and is not aware of any tax positions for which it is
reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will
significantly change in the next twelve months.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - MAY 31, 2013
(UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
SHARE CLASSES--The Fund offers two classes of shares, Investor Class and
Advisor Class. The outstanding shares of the Fund on April 1, 2010 were renamed
"Investor Class shares." The Advisor Class shares commenced operations on April
1, 2010. The two classes represent interests in the same portfolio of
investments and have the same rights. Investor Class shares are subject to an
annual 12b-1 fee of up to 0.99% of the Fund's average daily net assets allocable
to Investor Class shares, whereas Advisor Class shares are subject to an annual
12b-1 fee of up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets allocable to
Advisor Class shares. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a
specific class) and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are
allocated to each class of shares in proportion to their relative shares
outstanding.
SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME--Securities transactions are
accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on sales of
securities are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual
basis.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS--The character of distributions made during
the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the
characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the
recognition of income, expense or gain items for financial statement and tax
purposes. To the extent that these differences are attributable to permanent
book and tax accounting differences, the components of net assets have been
adjusted.
REDEMPTION FEE--A 1.50% redemption fee is retained by the Fund to offset
transaction costs and other expenses associated with short-term investing. The
fee is imposed on redemptions or exchanges of shares held less than three months
from their purchase date. The Fund records the fee as a reduction of shares
redeemed and as a credit to paid-in-capital. For the six months ended May 31,
2013, the Investor Class and the Advisor Class received $292 and $2,914 in
redemption fees, respectively. For the six months ended May 31, 2013, the
Advisor class also had reversals of redemption fees from the prior fiscal year
in the amount of $3,574.

OCM GOLD FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - MAY 31, 2013
(UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS--In the normal course of business, the Fund
enters into contracts with service providers that contain general
indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown as this would involve future claims against the Fund that have not yet
occurred. Based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
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.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS--Equity securities in the gold mining industry,
particularly the smaller companies, may occasionally issue warrants as part of
their capital structure. A warrant gives the holder the right to purchase the
underlying equity at the exercise price until the expiration date of the
warrant. The Fund may hold such warrants for exposure to smaller companies in
the portfolio or other reasons associated with the Fund's overall objective of
long-term growth, though warrants will typically not be a significant part of
the Fund's portfolio. The Fund's maximum risk in holding warrants is the loss of
the entire amount paid for the warrants. The Fund acquired one set of warrants
during the six months ended May 31, 2013. The Fund realized a loss of $54,272 on
the sale of one set of warrants during the six months ended May 31, 2013 which
is included within the "Net realized gain on investments and foreign currency
transactions" on the Statement of Operations. At May 31, 2013, the Fund held
warrants as listed on the Schedule of Investments.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS--Management has evaluated subsequent events and
determined there were no subsequent events that require recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements.
NOTE 3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND AFFILIATED PARTIES
The Fund has an investment advisory agreement with Orrell Capital
Management, Inc. ("OCM"). Under the agreement, the Fund pays OCM a fee computed
daily and payable monthly, at the following annual rates based upon average
daily net assets:
ASSETS FEE RATE
------ --------
$0 to $250 million 0.950%
$250 million to $500 million 0.800%
$500 million to $1 billion 0.700%
Over $1 billion 0.600%

(UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
The Fund does not compensate Trustees and Officers affiliated with OCM. For
the six months ended May 31, 2013, the expenses accrued for Trustees who are not
affiliated with OCM are reported on the Statement of Operations. The Fund pays
the salary and related expenses of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer. The
expenses accrued for the Chief Compliance Officer are reported on the Statement
of Operations.
NOTE 4. DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT AND PLAN
The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule
12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Plan authorizes
the Fund to reimburse the distributor for marketing expenses incurred in
distributing shares of the Fund, including the cost of printing sales material
and making payments to dealers of the Fund's Investor Class and Advisor Class,
in any fiscal year, subject to limits of 0.99% and 0.25%, respectively, of the
average daily net assets of each respective class. For the six months ended May
31, 2013, the Investor Class and the Advisor Class accrued $409,124 and $17,862,
respectively, in expenses under the Plan.
NOTE 5. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
Purchases and sales of investment securities (excluding short-term
securities and U.S. government obligations) for the six months ended May 31,
2013 were $1,815,625 and $12,295,759, respectively. There were no purchases or
sales of U.S. government obligations.
NOTE 6. FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At May 31, 2013, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of
investments owned by the Fund, based on cost for federal income tax purposes
were as follows:
Cost of investments $ 41,692,606
============
Unrealized appreciation $ 49,926,912
Unrealized depreciation (8,528,959)
------------
Net unrealized appreciation on investments $ 41,397,953
============
The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal
income tax purposes is due primarily to investments in passive foreign
investment companies ("PFICs").
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended
November 30, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:
2012 2011
Ordinary income $ -- $ --
Net long-term capital gains 7,122,610 16,075,869
---------- -----------
Total distributions $7,122,610 $16,075,869
========== ===========
As of November 30, 2012 the components of accumulated earnings on a tax
basis were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income $ --
Undistributed long-term gains 1,803,056
Tax accumulated earnings 1,803,056
Accumulated capital and other losses (1,590,650)
Unrealized appreciation on investments 97,062,632
-----------
Total accumulated earnings $97,275,038
===========
- 17 -
OCM GOLD FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - MAY 31, 2013
(UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)
The Fund has $1,590,650 in qualified late-year losses, which are deferred
until fiscal year 2013 for tax purposes. Net late-year ordinary losses incurred
after December 31 and within the taxable year and net late-year specified losses
incurred after October 31 and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the
first day of the Fund's next taxable year.
NOTE 7. CONCENTRATION OF RISK
Investing in foreign securities involves certain risks not necessarily
found in U.S. markets. These include risks associated with adverse changes in
economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, changes in currency
exchange rates, exchange control regulations, expropriation of assets or
nationalization, imposition of withholding taxes on dividend or interest
payments or capital gains, and possible difficulty in obtaining and enforcing
judgments against foreign entities. Further, issuers of foreign securities are
subject to different, and often less comprehensive, accounting, reporting, and
disclosure requirements than domestic issuers.
As the Fund concentrates its investments in the gold mining industry, a
development adversely affecting the industry (for example, changes in the mining
laws which increases production costs or a significant decrease in the market
price of gold) would have 'a greater adverse effect on the Fund than it would if
the Fund invested in a number of different industries.
NOTE 8. ILLIQUID SECURITIES
The Fund may invest up to 15% of net assets in securities for which there
is no readily available market ("illiquid securities"). The 15% limitation
includes securities whose disposition would be subject to legal restrictions
("restricted securities"). Illiquid and restricted securities often have a
market value lower than the market price of unrestricted securities of the same
issuer and are not readily marketable without some time delay. This could
result in the Fund being unable to realize a favorable price upon disposition of
such securities and in some cases might make disposition of such securities at
the time desired by the Fund impossible. At May 31, 2013, the Fund held no
illiquid securities.
NOTE 9. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-01 Clarifying the Scope of
Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This update gives
additional clarification to the FASB ASU No. 2011-11 Disclosures about
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The amendments in this ASU require an entity
to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable
users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements
on its financial position. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual
periods. The guidance requires retrospective application for all comparative
periods presented. Management is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2013-01
will have on the financial statement disclosures.

OCM GOLD FUND
EXPENSE EXAMPLE - FOR THE PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2013
(UNAUDITED)
As a shareholder of the OCM Gold Fund (the "Fund"), you incur two types of
costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase
payments and redemption fees on certain redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs,
including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses.
This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars)
of investing in the 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 December 1, 2012 to May 31,
2013 (the "period").
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the tables below provide information about actual account
values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together
with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses you paid over the period.
Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value
divided by $1,000 equals 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the
first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to
estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the periods.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line of the tables below provide information about hypothetical
account values and hypothetical expenses based on each class' actual expense
ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not
each class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not
be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for
the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of
investing in the classes of the Fund and 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 the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight
your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as
sales charges (loads) and redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the
tables are useful in comparing the 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 could have been higher.
