Expense ratios as stated in the most recent prospectus. For the Institutional Class shares, the expense ratio after waivers is a contractual agreement through April 30, 2014, for the Global Resources Fund, and a voluntary arrangement for all other funds, pursuant to which U.S. Global Investors, Inc. has agreed to waive all class specific expenses of each fund. For the Investor Class shares, the expense ratio after waivers is a contractual limit through April 30, 2014, for the Tax Free and Near-Term Tax Free Funds, and a voluntary limit for all other funds, on total fund operating expenses (exclusive of any acquired fund fees and expenses, performance fees, extraordinary expenses, taxes, brokerage commissions and interest). U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (the "Adviser") can modify or terminate the voluntary limits at any time, which may lower a fund's yield or return. In addition, the yields and returns for the U.S. Government Securities Savings Fund and the U.S. Treasury Securities Cash Fund include the effects of the Adviser's voluntary waiver of fees and/or reimbursement of expenses to maintain a minimum net yield for the funds. The Adviser can modify or terminate these arrangements at any time. Performance data quoted above is historical. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Results reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. The principal value and investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance does not include the effect of any direct fees described in the fund's prospectus (e.g., short-term trading fees of 0.05%) which, if applicable, would lower your total returns. Performance quoted for periods of one year or less is cumulative and not annualized. Obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end at www.usfunds.com or 1-800-US-FUNDS.
