Fund Dates of First Sale and Expense Adjustments

Fund results for periods before a share class was sold are hypothetical. These hypothetical returns were calculated by adjusting the results of the original share class of the fund without a sales charge, adjusted for typical estimated expenses. Please see fund prospectuses for more information about specific expenses.

The dates for when Class M, F-3 and R shares were first sold, and the annual expense adjustments used to calculate hypothetical returns before those dates, are shown below. The adjustment reflects how many percentage points higher or lower a fund’s estimated expense ratio was than its original share class expense ratio.

  • A positive expense adjustment means that, for the fund shown, hypothetical results for the share class reflect higher expenses than the Class A share.
  • A negative expense adjustment means hypothetical results for the share class reflect lower expenses than the original share class of the fund.
  • A 0.00% expense adjustment means the hypothetical results for the share class have the same expenses as the original share class of the fund.

Investments are not FDIC-insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity, so they may lose value.

Investors should carefully consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other important information is contained in the prospectuses and summary prospectuses, which can be obtained from a financial professional and should be read carefully before investing. Similar information is contained in the CollegeAmerica Program Description and ABLEAmerica Program Description, which can be obtained from a financial professional and should be read carefully before investing. CollegeAmerica and ABLEAmerica are distributed by Capital Client Group, Inc., and sold through unaffiliated intermediaries.

Depending on your state of residence, there may be an in-state plan that provides state tax and other state benefits not available through CollegeAmerica (such as financial aid, scholarship funds and protection from creditors) or ABLEAmerica. Before investing in any state's 529 plan, investors should consult a tax advisor. CollegeAmerica and ABLEAmerica are nationwide plans sponsored by Commonwealth Savers.
