The fund offers Class A shares with a front-end load of 5.75%, a net expense ratio of 1.22% (comprising a 0.85% management fee, 0.25% service fee, and 0.12% other expenses), a minimum initial investment of $1,000, and daily pricing; other share classes such as Class C (DGLCX) are available with differing fee structures.
