Offer document
The offer document or prospectus is a legal document that contains important information about a fund's investment goals, sales charges, expenses and risks. Its purpose is to provide investors with the information they need to make an informed decision about investing in the fund. An abridged offer document accompanies the application form of every fund.

Offering price
The price at which mutual fund shares are offered for sale to the public, also known as the public offering price. The public offering price represents the net asset value plus any applicable initial sales charges.

Open-end fund
A mutual fund that does not have a fixed number of shares (as does a closed-end fund.) The mutual fund will offer as many shares as investors are willing to buy. Most mutual funds are open-ended unless otherwise noted.

Operating expenses
The day-to-day costs and expenses necessary to run a company, such as the maintenance of office equipment.
