Exchanging or Selling Shares


Many funds allow you to exchange your shares for shares of another fund owned by the same fund company. Typically, there is a limit to the number of exchanges you can make, and there may be fees or tax consequences associated with it.

Most fund companies provide a number of ways to exchange or sell your shares, as well as options for depositing the proceeds into your account. Whether you prefer to conduct transactions over the phone, online or in writing, you should refer to the prospectus for details.
