The Fund has no sales
load (a charge for purchasing the fund), no soft - dollar arrangements (where fund managers receive research, data terminals and other
benefits in return for paying higher commissions to brokers), no trailing fees (where funds pay brokerages an ongoing percentage
of assets in order to
bring business to the fund), and no 12b - 1 marketing fees (where shareholders pay an amount over and above management and operating expenses, so that funds can advertise and attract new shareholders).
From providing flexible resources to enable widespread deployment
of renewable energy resources, to improving grid resiliency and efficiency, to shifting peak
loads and reducing harmful emissions, storage
brings a multitude
of benefits to the grid that are not being fully valued in our electric system today.
