Net and Gross Expense Ratios
For MWUSX the total expense ratio is 0.51%, and the net expense ratio is 0.34%.

For more information about fees and expenses, please read the prospectus.
About the Index or Indices
BofA Merrill Lynch 1-Year U.S. Treasury Index - Is an unmanaged index comprised of a single issue purchased at the beginning of the month and held for a full month. The issue selected at each month-end rebalancing is the outstanding two-year Treasury Note Bill that matures closest to, but, not beyond one year from the rebalancing date.
The index listed is not available
for direct investment; therefore its
performance does not reflect a reduction
for fees or expenses incurred in managing
a portfolio. The securities in the
index may be substantially different
from those in the Fund.
A Word About Risk
Fixed income investments entail interest rate risk, the risk of issuer default, issuer credit risk, and price volatility risk. Funds investing in bonds can lose their value as interest rates rise and an investor can lose principal.
