The MERs shown are based on unaudited financial statements.The Indirect Cost Ratio (ICR) measures the costs of managing the Funds’ investments that are not deducted directly from an investors account, including investment-related legal costs,management and performance fees paid to the investment manager, custody fees and the net effect of any GST.For the Hunter Hall Funds the ICR equates to the Total MER.
