Yes, by registering, you can view and print your statements.
Where is my account number located on my statement?
Your account number is located in the account detail/account summary section of your statement. This section starts on the first page of your statement about 2/3 of the way down the page. Your account number follows the name of your fund and is a four digit number followed by a dash then a 10 digit number.

Why can't I link my children's UTMA/UGMA accounts together through the website?
Even if you are the custodian of more than one child’s account, UTMA/UGMA accounts are individually owned by the minor. We do not allow combined information of two separate customers to be available online to both of them. Read more in our privacy policy (PDF).
How far back can you research account history?
Shareholder Services can assist with inquiries going back 18 months. Requests that go beyond this point need to be initiated in writing. As a large majority of the funds within our family have come to us through mergers, the dates of history will vary from fund to fund.

What is your policy regarding foreign investors?
Effective August 14, 2006, transactions for shareholders who hold accounts with a foreign address or an invalid U.S. taxpayer identification number are limited to redemptions only. This means that these shareholders will not be permitted to:
- Purchase additional shares either directly, through a broker/dealer, or via an automatic investment plan.
- Exchange shares to either new or existing accounts.
- Transfer shares to either new or existing accounts unless the address of the receiving account is within the United States.
The review was prompted by SEC regulations regarding anti-money laundering that require we certify the identity of every registered shareholder and entity account. Based on the difficulty of certifying accounts and individuals registered outside the United States, our policy was revised on April 3, 2006. We no longer accept any new account application that does not have an address within the United States or its territories and a valid U.S. taxpayer identification number.
Please note, the restrictions will be removed for shareholders with a valid U.S. taxpayer identification number, who maintain an address outside the United States or its territories that later change their address to one within the United States or its territories. If you have any questions regarding this policy, please contact Shareholder Services.
