Prospectus Net Expense Ratio: The prospectus expense ratio is pulled from the fund's prospectus and shows expenses the fund company anticipates will actually be borne by the fund's shareholders in the upcoming fiscal year less any expense waivers, offsets or reimbursements. In summary, the net prospectus expense ratio is forward looking and the net annual report expense ratio is backward looking.
