Restrictions
A round trip is defined as a buy and sell that occur within 30 days. Excessive trading violation will result in a trading restriction period of 60 days. Maximum of 4 round trips allowed per 12 month period. The Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures and authorized Harbor Funds to take the following actions to discourage excessive short-term trading activity in the Funds.
You may make up to four round trips in the same Fund in a 12-month period. A "round trip" is a purchase into a Fund followed by a redemption out of the same Fund (including by exchange) or a redemption out of a Fund (including by exchange) followed by a purchase into the same Fund within a 30-day period. When a purchase or redemption transaction is paired with another transaction to make one round trip, neither of those transactions is paired with a third transaction to make a second round trip. For example, if a shareholder purchases shares of a Fund on May 1, redeems those same shares on May 15 and then purchases shares in the same Fund again on June 5, the shareholder would have engaged in one round trip. The purchase on May 1 would be paired with the redemption on May 15 because the transactions occurred within a 30-day period. However, the redemption on May 15 would not be paired with the purchase on June 5 to create a second round trip because the May 15 redemption already constituted part of the earlier round trip. Different restrictions may apply if you invest through an intermediary. Harbor Funds will limit, for a period of 60 days, future purchases into a Fund by any investor who makes more than four round trips in the same Fund in a 12-month period.
