        Expense Example
        ---------------------------------------------------------------

        Based on the costs above (including one year of fund expenses
        contractually capped at 0.40%), this example is designed to
        help you compare this fund's expenses to those of other funds.
        The example assumes operating expenses remain the same and
        that you invested $10,000, earned 5% annual returns,
        reinvested all dividends and distributions and sold your
        shares at the end of each period. This is only an example;
        your actual expenses will be different.
