Amundi Pioneer Reduces Expenses on Certain Pioneer Mutual FundsAmundi Pioneer today announced reduced fees and expenses for certain Pioneer U.S. mutual funds and share classes, which result in lower costs to shareholders. Costs will be reduced through a combination of immediate reductions in management fees, lower caps on total expense ratios for certain share classes, and new management fee breakpoints. "To further strengthen our commitment to shareholder interests, we identified several opportunities to reduce fees and expenses across our mutual fund line-up," said Lisa Jones, President and Chief Executive Officer of Amundi Pioneer. "Lower fees and expenses make our firm more competitive against both active and passive approaches in an increasingly price-focused market place, and is consistent with our strategic goal of adding value for our clients," Jones added. The changes affect 15 of Amundi Pioneer's 27 US open-end mutual funds. Expenses on seven funds are being lowered through reduced management fees and/or expense ratio caps. In addition, new breakpoints are being added to eight mutual funds, which will reduce management fees as fund assets increase to specific levels. Details of the expense reductions are provided in the tables below. All changes are effective October 1, 2018.
In addition, shareholders in the following eight funds will benefit in the future from reduced management fees that become effective if assets in the funds increase to specific levels. For details on the new breakpoints, as well as all charges and expenses, see the fund Prospectus on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on our website, us.amundipioneer.com, or consult with your financial advisor.
