Shareholder Resources / CRM Distributions / Payment Options

Payment Options

Each Fund offers three distribution options:

  • Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund. Your distributions are automatically reinvested if you did not indicate a choice on your application.
  • Income-Only Option. You receive a check for all dividends, but capital gain distributions are automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Fund.
  • Cash Option. You receive a check for both dividend and capital gain distributions.

If you want to change your distribution options, call us at 800.276.2883. Distributions are payable to the shareholders of record at the time the distributions are declared (including holders of shares being redeemed, but excluding holders of shares being purchased). All distributions are reinvested in additional Fund shares unless you have elected to receive the distributions in cash.

You should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Funds before investing. You may obtain the prospectus here or by calling 800.276.2883. The Funds are subject to risks, which are described in the prospectus. In particular, when compared to mutual funds that focus on larger capitalization companies, shares of the Funds may be more volatile because of the focus on smaller capitalization companies, which may have more limited product lines and fewer capital resources. The Funds’ value investing strategy also involves risks. Value stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and can be undervalued by the market for long periods of time. You should read the prospectus carefully before investing.
