the heading "When Share Price is Determined."
We have contractual relationships with certain financial intermediaries in
which such intermediaries represent that they have systems to track the time at
which investment orders are received and to segregate orders received at
different times. Based on these representations, the Fund has authorized such
intermediaries and their designees to accept purchase and redemption orders on
the Fund's behalf up to the applicable cut-off time. The Fund will be deemed to
have received such orders upon acceptance by the duly authorized intermediary,
and such orders will be priced at the Fund's net asset value next determined
after acceptance on the fund's behalf by such intermediary.
