We rely on 128-bit encryption technology, the most secure encryption technology available, to scramble your account data and transmissions. In addition, we have incorporated additional security procedures into the account login and registration process to help ensure client information remains safe and secure.

From the homepage below the login box, click on Register now. They will need to enter their fund and account number, Social Security number/tax identification number, name, and email address. Create a new User ID and password, and then answer a validation question and answer to help them retrieve their password if they forget it. At this time, they can also choose to enroll in eDelivery to receive their prospectuses, annual reports, semiannual reports and shareholder statements electronically instead of in paper format. Lastly, review and accept the user agreement to complete registration and view their account.

If the accounts are linked through the same account owner and appear together on quarterly statements, the client will be able to access their accounts using the same User ID and password. For example, if the quarterly statements show a joint account held by the client and their spouse as well as an individual account that is registered in the client’s name only, they will be able to access both accounts using the same User ID/password.

The account number is located on the quarterly statement and on all transaction confirmation statements. If you know the fund name being registered for, you can look up the fund number during the registration process. For additional help, please call a client services representative.
