(each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”)

Supplement dated March 1, 2022

to the Summary Prospectus(es) and Prospectus(es) of each Fund, as amended to date

Effective immediately, the Summary Prospectus(es) and Prospectus(es) of each Fund are amended as follows:

The risk factor entitled “Foreign Securities Risk” in the section of each Fund’s Summary Prospectus(es) entitled “Key Facts About [the Fund]—Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund” or “Key Facts About [the Fund]—Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund, the Underlying Funds and/or the ETFs,” as applicable, and the section of each Fund’s Prospectus(es) entitled “Fund Overview—Key Facts About [the Fund]—Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund” or “Fund Overview—Key Facts About [the Fund]—Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund, the Underlying Funds and/or the ETFs,” as applicable, is amended to add the following as the eighth bullet point in the list or to delete the eighth bullet point in the list and to replace it with the following:

 

   

The European financial markets have recently experienced volatility and adverse trends due to concerns about economic downturns in, or rising government debt levels of, several European countries as well as acts of war in the region. These events may spread to other countries in Europe and may affect the value and liquidity of certain of the Fund’s investments.

The risk factor entitled “Foreign Securities Risk” in the section of each Fund’s Prospectus(es) entitled “Details About the Fund[s]—Investment Risks—Principal Risks of Investing in the [Fund[s]] [the Underlying Funds] [the Underlying ETFs]” or “Details About the Fund—A Further Discussion of Risk Factors—Principal Risks of the Underlying Funds,” as applicable, is amended to delete the sub-secton entitled “European Economic Risk” and to replace it with the following:

European Economic Risk — The European financial markets have recently experienced volatility and adverse trends due to concerns about economic downturns in, or rising government debt levels of, several European countries as well as acts of war in the region. These events may spread to other countries in Europe and may affect the value and liquidity of certain of the Fund’s investments.

Responses to the financial problems by European governments, central banks and others, including austerity measures and reforms, may not work, may result in social unrest and may limit future growth and economic recovery or have other unintended consequences. Further defaults or restructurings by governments and others of their debt could have additional adverse effects on economies, financial markets and asset valuations around the world.

The United Kingdom has withdrawn from the European Union, and one or more other countries may withdraw from the European Union and/or abandon the Euro, the common currency of the European Union. The impact of these actions, especially if they occur in a disorderly fashion, is not clear but could be significant and far reaching. In addition, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The extent and

duration of the military action, resulting sanctions and resulting future market disruptions in the region are impossible to predict, but could be significant and have a severe adverse effect on the region, including significant negative impacts on the economy and the markets for certain securities and commodities, such as oil and natural gas, as well as other sectors.

Shareholders should retain this Supplement for future reference.
