More information on Distributions:

Fund distributions are taxable currently whether shareholders receive them in cash or reinvest in additional Fund shares, unless fund shares are held in a tax-advantaged account.

Shareholders should consult their tax advisor regarding the necessary filings with the IRS.

Record Date - Investors who own shares in the Fund as of the record date (shareholders of record) will receive the distribution.

Ex Date - The Fund’s NAV will be reduced by the amount of the distribution on this day.

Payable Date - Distributions will be paid to shareholders of record on this day.

Qualified Dividends - If your Baron Fund has a qualified dividend percentage listed in the table, multiply that percentage by the sum of your income dividends plus short-term capital gains. This is the amount of your year-end dividend distribution that is eligible to be taxed at the lower 15% rate applicable to qualified dividends. In order to treat a dividend as qualifying for the lower rates, you must have held your shares for at least 61 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date of the distribution.

Dividends Received Deduction - Mutual fund dividends derived from certain domestic corporations may be eligible for the dividends received deduction (DRD) for corporations. The table below provides a portion of the ordinary income dividend attributable to such domestic corporations.
