We do not collect any personal information online. We do not give out your personal information unless we are authorized or permitted to do so. We do not sell your personal information to any third parties. You may browse our web site anonymously, and we will not collect personal information such as your e-mail address.

Use of Cookies
What is a cookie? A cookie is a small piece of information placed on your computer by the Web site you are visiting. It allows the Web site to “remember” or “recognize” your computer during subsequent visits. Although different Web sites use cookies for different purposes, one important function is to allow a site to personalize your experience. For example, a cookie can be used to designate start pages within a site, or to indicate an area of interest to you on a Web site. Web sites may use two types of cookies. Temporary cookies are stored on your computer only during your browsing session, and are automatically deleted from your computer when you close your browser. Permanent cookies are stored on your computer and are not deleted when you close your browser. Permanent cookies retain your preferences for a particular Web site, allowing those preferences to remain for future browsing sessions. We do not use cookies on this Web site.
E-Mail Privacy Policy
We preserve the content of your e-mail, your e-mail address and our response so that we can more efficiently handle any follow-up questions you may have and to meet legal and regulatory requirements. It is important to understand that regular non-encrypted Internet e-mail is not secure. Some Fund-related Internet e-mail addresses are provided, but these are for information inquiries of a non-sensitive and non-confidential nature. We strongly urge you not to send confidential information such as social security or account numbers to us via a non-secure e-mail address. Because our e-mail response back to you would not be secure, we will not include confidential account information in an e-mail response. You may also contact us by phone, fax or U.S. mail.
