Letter to Shareholders
July 8, 2013
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
The Torray Fund gained 17% during the first half of 2013, compared to 13.8% for the Standard & Poors 500 Index. Net of all expenses our return since inception 22 1 / 2 years ago was 10.0% compounded annually, turning an original investment of $10,000 into $85,000. Comparable numbers for the Index were 9.5% and $78,000. As we will learn from the study noted below, the average investor in mutual funds has not come close to matching either number.
Considering the challenging backdrop of the last 15 years, with the market twice crashing more than 50%, we are thankful things have turned out so well. We ascribe the result to our buy and hold strategy founded on the indisputable fact that rising business values inevitably reward patient investors. We dont spend time thinking about beating the market year to year. Our focus has been on earning reasonable long-term returns and containing the risk of permanent loss. The plan all along has been to concentrate investments in a diversified list of well-managed, successful companies, typically 30-35 with 2%-4% in each one. They must have proven long-term track records and bright prospects. We rely on the group result, not picking winners.
There have been no major changes in the portfolio over the last year. Only three new positions were added, and six sold mostly on the basis their price/earnings ratios seemed stretched. The remainder of the activity involved adjusting the size of various positions to reflect shifts in their relative valuations. Meanwhile, the underlying fundamentals of our companies continued to improve. We should add that while a combination of their favorable economics and low valuations certainly justified the increase in the Funds share price, the main factor in its rise has been a shift in investor preferences toward higher quality, more conservatively valued businesses like those we own.
Turning to the subject of mutual fund investor returns, the latest DALBAR, Inc. Quantitative Analysis of Investor Behavior reveals that fund shareholders have done significantly worse than the market over the last 3, 5, 10 and 20 years. The numbers are shocking. For the 20-year period, 1993-2012, investors earned only 4.2% annually, compared to 8.2% for the S&P 500 Index. Adjusted for inflation of 2.4%, their real return was only 1.8%. Bond fund investors fared worse. They made less than 1% (-1.5% after inflation), while the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index earned 6.3% (4.5% net of inflation).
How can this be? DALBAR says that more than half the difference is attributable to performance chasing and other bad habits. This message has been consistent in every study since the first one released in 1994: No matter what the state of the mutual fund industry, boom or bust, shareholder results are more dependent on investor behavior than fund performance. We have made this point many times. Impatience, along with an overwhelming predisposition to buy stocks or bonds when theyre rising, only to sell when they fall, are fatal shortcomings. Investors must overcome these impulses to have any chance of doing well. While we have every reason to believe that you, our shareholders, have mastered this challenge, we will probably revisit the subject now and then to underscore its importance.
On a lighter note, Dallas investor Frederick E. Shad Rowe recently wrote a telling letter to Grants Interest Rate Observer , one of Americas finest financial publications. Titled Sticks and Stocks, it recounts that he now faces the difficult task of selling the house he grew up in. His mother lived there for 65 years, and it is the centerpiece of thousands of memories. His parents bought the house for $30,000 in 1948 with savings and proceeds from the sale of a few inherited stocks no mortgage. Back then Dallas was a cow town poised for explosive growth the house was in the right neighborhood, the right block and the right school system. The timing couldnt have been better.
Mr. Rowe says the house mostly the lot is worth about $3 million today, or one hundred times what his parents paid for it 65 years ago. Wow! you may say. But thats a compound return of just 7.3%. Shad calculates that

property taxes averaging 1.5% and insurance, 1 / 2 of 1%, along with maintenance and other expenses, reduced the gain from nearly $3 million to less than $400,000. What about stocks? he asks. Had his parents simply invested the money in the S&P 500 Index extrapolating for the period 1948 to 1954 when the Index was formed and reinvested the dividends, the annual return would have been 10.9%, turning the $30,000 into $25 million! This illustrates in spades the miracle of compounding, but, more importantly, the tremendous value businesses alone generate over time. Nothing compares. Alternatives like bonds, raw land and commodities gold for example have sometimes done better for a while, but in the end, measured in purchasing power, theyve made very little, and some have lost money. Large numbers of investors keep betting on them anyway.
Gold, very much in the news in recent years, is a prime example. Thirty-three-and-a-half years ago 1980 it peaked in a speculative surge at $850 an ounce; a few years later it collapsed to about $300, where it remained for close to 25 years before a recovery began in 2004. Then, sparked by the market crash and financial panic of 2008-09, it skyrocketed, eventually reaching $1,900 earlier this year. It has since dropped about 35% to a range of $1,200-$1,300. The bottom line is that after 33 1 / 2 years of ups and downs, the metal advanced only $400. The real story, though, is that over nearly three-and-a-half decades, adjusted for inflation, this reputed hedge of all hedges against inflation lost more than half of its value. By comparison, stocks, over the same period, earned a nominal 11.4%, 8.1% net of inflation, a gain of 1300%. None of this is to say gold cant go up. Some followers predict its headed for $2,000-$3,000, and a recent New York Times advertisement for the metal forecasts $5,000. We have no opinion. The reality is that beyond jewelry, gold, which earns nothing and pays no dividends, depends entirely for its value on the whims of investors not a comforting thought.
Those of us that have devoted a lifetime to investment analysis with special emphasis on business fundamentals and the lessons of history have witnessed triumphs and tragedies, booms and busts, and the rise of countless grand theories only to see them toppled by truth. For us there is nothing new in the events of recent years, or in the pronouncements of experts along the way. Weve seen it all, and well see it again. This is the message our letters have conveyed from the start. We hope they have helped.
Appreciation is once again extended to you for your confidence in our advice and management.
Sincerely, | ||||||

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of June 30, 2013 (unaudited)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Torray Fund (Fund) is a separate series of The Torray Fund (Trust). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust is organized as a business trust under Massachusetts law. The Funds investment objectives are to build investor wealth over extended periods and to minimize shareholder capital gains tax liability by limiting the realization of long and short-term gains. The Fund seeks to meet its objectives by investing its assets in high quality companies that have a record of increasing sales and earnings, and to hold them as long as their fundamentals remain intact. There can be no assurance that the Funds investment objectives will be achieved.
The following is a summary of accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Securities Valuation Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, which is determined by using the last reported sale price, or, if no sales are reported, the last reported bid price. For NASDAQ traded securities, market value is determined on the basis of the NASDAQ Official Closing Price instead of the last reported sales price. Other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily available or for which Torray LLC (the Advisor) believes do not reflect market value are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (the Board or Trustees) in accordance with the Funds Valuation Procedures. Short-term obligations having remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments which are as follows:
|
Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
|
Level 2 significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
|
Level 3 significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The Fund had no Level 3 investments during the period and had no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 investments during the reporting period.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the specific identification basis. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including amortization of discount on short-term investments, and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.
Federal Income Taxes The Fund intends to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Management has analyzed the Funds tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (current and prior three tax years), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds financial statements. The Funds federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
Net Asset Value The net asset value per share of the Fund is determined daily as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange by dividing the value of the Funds net assets by the number of shares outstanding.
Use of Estimates In preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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.

NOTE 5 TAX MATTERS
Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with United States federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended December 31, 2012 was as follows:
Distributions paid from: |
||||
Ordinary income |
$ | 4,689,438 | ||
|
|
|||
$ | 4,689,438 | |||
|
|
The primary difference between book and tax basis distributions is differing book and tax treatment of short-term capital gains.
At December 31, 2012, the Fund had net capital loss carry forward for federal income tax purposes of $70,638,491 which is available to reduce future required distributions of net capital gains to shareholders through 2017.
Under current tax law, capital losses realized after October 31 of a funds fiscal year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. At December 31, 2012, the Fund had deferred post-October capital losses of $17,463, which will be treated as arising on the first business day of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

NOTE 6 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Fund indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from their performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

NOTE 7 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date these financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
NOTE 8 NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued guidance that creates a two-tiered approach to assess whether an entity is an investment company. The guidance will also require an investment company to measure noncontrolling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value and will require additional disclosures relating to investment company status, any changes thereto and information about financial support provided or contractually required to be provided to any of the investment companys investees. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Funds financial statement disclosures.

ABOUT YOUR FUNDS EXPENSES
As of June 30, 2013 (unaudited)
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, and other fund expenses. Operating expenses, which are deducted directly from the Funds gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the Fund.
A mutual funds expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the 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 examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The table on the next page illustrates the Funds cost in two ways:
Actual Fund Return This section helps you estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The Ending Account Value shown is derived from the Funds actual return, and the third column shows the operating expenses that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for the Fund under the heading Expenses Paid During Period on the next page.
Hypothetical 5% Return This section is intended to help you compare your Funds costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses, and that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Funds actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess the Funds costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transactions fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor does it carry a sales load.
The calculation assumes no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

Letter to Shareholders
July 8, 2013
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
The first half of 2013 frustrated the skeptics. As the post-crisis recovery continued at a measured but steady pace, U.S. equity markets reclaimed the historic highs of 2007. During this period, your Fund performed well, gaining 10.8% in the first half of the year and 20.9% over the trailing twelve months. The Funds returns modestly underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Indexs gains of 11.8% in the first half, but outperformed the benchmarks 17.1% gains over the trailing twelve months. The question on most investors minds is whether recent gains are justified and sustainable. Milestones such as the record highs inevitably bring out the naysayers, but the backdrop of steadily improving fundamentals provided adequate support for the markets advances. Growth is slow but steady, valuations are reasonable, employment is weak but improving, and interest rates are rising, but remain low by historic standards. This balanced assessment leads us to the conclusion that current market levels are appropriate and we continue to find exceptional companies to invest in at attractive prices.
We recently bought shares of FMC Corp. (FMC), a diversified chemical company with $4 billion in revenues and operations in 21 countries. Approximately half of the companys sales are generated by the Agricultural Products division, with the balance split between the Specialty and Industrial Chemicals divisions. What distinguishes FMC from other specialty chemical companies is a long-standing record of consistent growth and relatively low economic sensitivity. A disciplined strategy of diversifying the portfolio and minimizing fixed costs has produced industry-leading earnings and cash flow growth of 20% annually over the past 10 years. We expect the companys focus on product innovation and operating efficiencies will continue to support attractive rates of growth.
Top contributors for the period included Gilead Sciences (GILD) and Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX). The release of positive clinical data on drugs targeting hepatitis C (Gilead) and cystic fibrosis (Vertex) increase the probability of continued profitable growth in the future. Apple (AAPL) was the largest detractor for the period. While innovation and growth have stalled at Apple, we believe the valuation, profit potential and recent plan to return significant capital to shareholders make Apple a compelling investment. We are always amazed by the markets tendency to overreact in the short and intermediate term. In this case, we believe investors have mispriced the risks associated with Apple.

The Torray Resolute Fund
Letter to Shareholders (continued)
July 8, 2013
Chairman Bernankes May 22nd comments contemplating a reduction of the Federal Reserves stimulus program took the market by surprise. Immediately following his remarks, rates on the 10-Year Treasury bond jumped approximately 50 basis points and stocks and bonds dropped 5% before recovering. Four-plus years into the recovery, it is easy to forget the Federal Reserve will eventually remove the economys training wheels. The markets response to Bernankes testimony is curious. On the one hand, a withdrawal of stimulative policy introduces uncertainty. On the other, the Chairmans comments come as a result of continued economic stability and improvement. This should be a source of confidence for the market. We believe a focus on innovation and value is a far more productive investment strategy than second guessing the Federal Reserves next move. However, the Chairmans statements mark an important turning point as the Federal Reserve prepares to step back and allow market fundamentals to lead. In this case, the transition is likely to be volatile, but ultimately positive for the economy and your portfolio.
As ever, we appreciate your interest and trust.

The returns quoted represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher. For performance current to the most recent month end, please call (800) 626-9769. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on the redemption of fund shares and distributions. The Funds gross annual operating expense ratio as stated in the Funds current prospectus was 3.68% before fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Adviser. The Funds net annual operating expense ratio after such fee waivers and expense reimbursements was 1.25%. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund in order to limit the total annual operating expenses of the Fund to 1.25% of the Funds average daily net assets through May 1, 2014. Total returns shown above include fee waivers and expense reimbursements. These total returns would have been lower had there been no waivers and reimbursements by the Adviser during the periods shown. Returns on The Torray Resolute Fund, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, the Funds primary benchmark index, and the S&P 500 Index assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The Russell 1000 Growth Index is an unmanaged index consisting of 575 U.S. large-cap growth stocks, and the S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index consisting of 500 U.S. large-cap stocks. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to change and risk.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of June 30, 2013 (unaudited)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Torray Resolute Fund (Fund) is a separate series of The Torray Fund (Trust). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust is organized as a business trust under Massachusetts law. The Funds investment objective is to seek to achieve long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to meet its objective by investing its assets in a concentrated portfolio of predominantly large capitalization companies with proven records of increasing earnings on a consistent and sustainable basis. There can be no assurance that the Funds investment objective will be achieved.
The following is a summary of accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Securities Valuation Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, which is determined by using the last reported sale price, or, if no sales are reported, the last reported bid price. For NASDAQ traded securities, market value is determined on the basis of the NASDAQ Official Closing Price instead of the last reported sales price. Other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily available or for which Torray LLC (the Advisor) believes do not reflect market value are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (the Board or Trustees) in accordance with the Funds Valuation Procedures. Short-term obligations having remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Fair Value Measurements Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments which are as follows:
|
Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
|
Level 2 significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
|
Level 3 significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The Torray Resolute Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
As of June 30, 2013 (unaudited)
The summary of inputs used to value the Funds investments as of June 30, 2013 is as follows:
Valuation Inputs |
||||
Level 1 Quoted Prices * |
$ | 11,460,660 | ||
Level 2 Other Significant Observable Inputs |
| |||
Level 3 Significant Unobservable Inputs |
| |||
|
|
|||
Total Market Value of Investments |
$ | 11,460,660 | ||
|
|
* | Security types and industry classifications as defined in the Schedule of Investments. |
The Fund had no Level 3 investments during the period and had no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 investments during the reporting period.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the specific identification basis. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including amortization of discount on short-term investments, and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Premium and discount are amortized using the effective yield to maturity method.
Federal Income Taxes The Fund intends to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Management has analyzed the Funds tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (current and prior two tax years), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds financial statements. The Funds federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
Net Asset Value The net asset value per share of the Fund is determined daily as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange by dividing the value of the Funds net assets by the number of shares outstanding.
Use of Estimates In preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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.

NOTE 3 INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, for the six months ended June 30, 2013, aggregated $1,024,269 and $539,351, respectively.
NOTE 4 MANAGEMENT FEES
Pursuant to the Management Contract, the Advisor provides investment advisory and administrative services to the Fund. The Fund pays the Advisor a management fee, computed daily and payable monthly at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Funds average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Fund incurred management fees of $56,083.
Excluding the management fee, other expenses incurred by the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2013, totaled $59,240. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Advisor waived fees and reimbursed expenses in the amount of $45,081 to maintain the Funds expense ratio at 1.25%. These expenses include all costs associated with the Funds operations including transfer agent fees, independent trustees fees ($14,000 per annum and $2,000 for each Board meeting attended per Trustee), dues, fees and expenses of registering and qualifying the Fund and its shares for distribution, charges of the custodian, auditing and legal expenses, insurance premiums, supplies, postage, expenses of issue or redemption of shares, reports to shareholders and Trustees, expenses of printing and mailing prospectuses, proxy statements and proxies to existing shareholders, and other miscellaneous expenses.
Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are also officers and/or shareholders of the Advisor, and are not paid by the Fund for serving in such capacities.

NOTE 5 TAX MATTERS
Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with United States federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended December 31, 2012 was as follows:
Distributions paid from: |
||||
Ordinary income |
$ | 2,628 | ||
Long-term capital gain |
23,845 | |||
|
|
|||
$ | 26,473 | |||
|
|
The primary difference between book basis and tax basis distributions is differing book and tax treatment of short-term capital gains.
At December 31, 2012, the Fund had no capital loss carry forward for federal income tax purposes.
The following information is based upon the federal tax basis of investment securities as of June 30, 2013:

NOTE 6 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Fund indemnifies its officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from their performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

NOTE 7 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date these financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
NOTE 8 NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued guidance that creates a two-tiered approach to assess whether an entity is an investment company. The guidance will also require an investment company to measure noncontrolling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value and will require additional disclosures relating to investment company status, any changes thereto and information about financial support provided or contractually required to be provided to any of the investment companys investees. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of this guidance on the Funds financial statement disclosures.

ABOUT YOUR FUNDS EXPENSES
As of June 30, 2013 (unaudited)
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, and other fund expenses. Operating expenses, which are deducted directly from the Funds gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the Fund.
A mutual funds expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the 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 examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The table on the next page illustrates the Funds cost in two ways:
Actual Fund Return This section helps you estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The Ending Account Value shown is derived from the Funds actual return, and the third column shows the operating expenses that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for the Fund under the heading Expenses Paid During Period on the next page.
Hypothetical 5% Return This section is intended to help you compare your Funds costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses, and that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Funds actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess the Funds costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transactions fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor does it carry a sales load.
The calculation assumes no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
