Note: The 2016 MERs before fee reduction are the actual MERs for the year ended December 31, 2016. The 2016 MERs after fee reduction recalculate the 2016 MERs as if the new management fee percentages had been in effect throughout 2016. The MERs for 2017 are expected to be between the 2016 MERs before fee reduction and 2016 MERs after fee reduction, since the reduced management fee percentages will take effect partway into 2017.
