Systematic
Withdrawal Plans:

You
can elect to participate in our Systematic Withdrawal Plan by completing
the Systematic Withdrawal Plan section on the Regular Account
Application. This plan allows you to arrange for automatic
withdrawals from your Fund account. Payments may be sent via
check to your address of record or to a pre-authorized bank account
through the Automatic Clearing House (ACH) network, if your bank is a
member. You select the schedule for systematic withdrawals,
which may be on a monthly basis or in certain designated
months. You also select the amount of each systematic
withdrawal, subject to a $25 minimum. To begin systematic
withdrawals, you must have a Fund account valued at $10,000 or
more. The Systematic Withdrawal Plan may be terminated or
modified at any time by writing or by telephone at least 5 days prior
to the effective date.

Call us at 1-800-999-0887.
·
Provide your account number and the amount to be
redeemed.
·
We will send the proceeds from a telephone redemption via check to
the shareholder’s address of record, wire the proceeds to the
shareholder’s bank of record, or send the proceeds via electronic
funds transfer through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network to a
pre-determined account. In order to arrange for automated
wire or electronic funds transfer, you must have elected the option on the
account application and have provided a voided
check. There is a $15 charge for a wire
transfer. There is no charge for a transfer through the
Automated Clearing House (ACH) system, but your bank must be a member in
order for you to use the system. Electronic funds transfers are
generally completed within 2 to 3 days.
By
accepting the telephone redemption option, you authorize us to act
upon the instruction of any person by telephone to redeem shares from
your account, and you assume some risk for unauthorized
transactions. We have procedures designated to reasonably
assure that the telephone instructions are genuine, including
recording telephone conversations, requesting personal information
and providing written confirmation of transactions, and we will be
liable to you if you suffer a loss from our failure to abide by these
procedures. Once a telephone transaction has been placed, it
cannot be cancelled or modified.

Broker-Dealers, Institutions and Other Service Providers:

You
may redeem Fund shares through broker-dealers, institutions and other
service providers, who may charge a commission or other transaction fee
for processing the redemption for
you.
|
By
Mail:
|
We
mail checks for redemption proceeds after we receive the request and all
necessary documents. The check will be mailed to the address on
your account (unless you request that it be sent to a different address,
which requires a signature guarantee). There is no charge for
mailing out redemption checks. Your redemption checks will be
mailed unless you expressly request that it be sent by wire or electronic
fund transfer.
|
By
Wire/Electronic Funds Transfer:
|
At
your written request, we will send you your redemption proceeds by wire or
electronic funds transfer to your designated bank account. If
you do not have predetermined bank account information on your account, a
signature guarantee on your redemption request will be
required. You will be charged a fee (currently $15) for each
wire transfer. There is no charge for electronic fund
transfers. You will be responsible for any charges that
your bank may impose for receiving wire or electronic fund
transfers. If you do not have automated bank instructions on
your account, or if proceeds are sent to other than a pre-determined bank
or address, a signature guarantee will be
required.
