        <FormAndLineReferenceDesc>Explanation of other changes in net assets or fund balances Part XI line 9</FormAndLineReferenceDesc>
        <ExplanationTxt>A small adjustment was made to reconcile amounts affected by rounding. For example, on last years 990, the end of year rounded total assets figure is different than the beginning of year total of each total asset after being rounded individually. There were many expense categories which happened to round up so the actual change to net assets is slightly different than the change after each amount is rounded.</ExplanationTxt>
