Investors should carefully consider a fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. This and other important information is included in the fund’s prospectus, and if available, the summary prospectus, which should be read carefully before investing.

Applies to open-end mutual funds only. For closed-end funds, refer to the equity schedule.

While no-load and load waived funds do not assess sales charges, fund shares are subject to management fees and certain other expenses. Redemption fees may also apply. In addition to receiving dealer concessions and asset-based sales charges and/or services fees in connection with clients’ purchasing and holding mutual fund shares, Merrill Lynch and its affiliates provide other services for which they may receive additional compensation from funds or their affiliates. This compensation is generally disclosed in a fund’s prospectus, statement of additional information or website.
