Payable Date  –  The date on which the declared dividend or capital gain distribution is scheduled to be paid to shareholders. On Ex-date/Reinvest date, normally the same as the Payable Date, a mutual fund's share price (Net Asset Value) drops by the amount of the distribution, excluding market fluctuations.







Prosp (Prospectus)  –  A prospectus is a document which provides all of the details about a mutual fund—including its investment strategy, risk profile, performance history, management, and fees—in a document called the prospectus. You should always read the prospectus before investing in a fund.

 



POP ($) – The public offering price is the price a shareholder would pay to purchase shares of a fund that has up-front sales charges (POP = NAV + sales charges).

See a current prospectus of the fund for a breakpoint schedule.






Quarterly  Returns

These returns are generally referred to as standardized performance, which reflect the average annual total return of the fund for the most recent 1, 5, and 10-year periods (or life of the share class, if less), as of the most recent calendar quarter.

 




Record Date – 
Date that determines who is eligible to receive a distribution. Distributions are set aside for payment to shareholders.






Reinvest NAV  –  Mutual funds pay dividends and capital gains in cash that may be reinvested by shareholders in additional mutual fund shares. Often, mutual funds allow reinvestment of these distributions at net asset value (NAV), allowing investors to purchase new shares without any sales charge.
