This expense reimbursement obligation is a provision of the Adviser’s investment advisory contract with the Fund and the reimbursement obligation will be in effect only so long as that investment advisory contract is in effect.

Portfolio Turnover [Heading] Portfolio Turnover
Portfolio Turnover [Text Block]
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 7% of the average value of its portfolio.
