MARKET TIMING POLICY
Market Timing is the excessive short-term trading of mutual fund shares. A
pattern of excessive short-term trading by redeeming Fund shares within a short
period of time of a purchase may increase Fund costs and be harmful to Fund
shareholders. The Fund believes that its exposure to harmful market timing risk
is low because the Fund's investment portfolio has no common stocks of foreign
issuers and prices are readily available for those common stocks in the Fund's
portfolio. To protect the Fund from harmful market timing, the Fund's Board may
prohibit future purchases by a shareholder who exhibits a pattern of excessive
short-term trading. The Fund always reserves the right to not accept any
purchase order.
