Example
The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund’s Dollar Shares or DeFi Shares with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. They illustrate the hypothetical expenses that you would incur over various periods if you were to invest $10,000 in the Fund’s shares. These examples assume that the shares provide a return of 5% each year and that total annual fund operating expenses remain as stated in the preceding table. You would incur these hypothetical expenses whether or not you were to redeem your investment at the end of the given period. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years | |
Dollar Shares | $17 | $55 | $96 | $217 |
DeFi Shares | $9 | $29 | $51 | $115 |
