Cost basis
Generally, cost basis is the original amount you paid for shares in your Fund account, including the value of reinvested dividends and capital gains. Upon a sale or exchange of Fund shares within a taxable account, you’ll realize a capital gain or loss, which is determined by comparing the sales price to the cost basis. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires mutual fund companies to report the cost basis of shares that are acquired after January 1, 2012.
Cost basis methods available for covered shares
Average Cost (ACST)
You direct us to sell shares at an average acquisition price.
First-In, First-Out (FIFO)
You direct us to sell the oldest shares in your account first.
Last-In, First-Out (LIFO)
You direct us to sell the newest shares in your account first.
High-Cost, First-Out (HIFO)
You direct us to sell the highest cost shares in your account first.
Low-Cost, First-Out (LOFO)
