New Index Description

MSCI India Index

The Index is provided by MSCI Inc. (the “Index Provider”). The Index is designed to measure the performance of the large- and mid-capitalization equity securities of the Indian market. Securities are selected based on the MSCI Global Investable Indexes Methodology as defined by the Index Provider. All component securities in the Index are classified per the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS). The Index is reviewed quarterly and rebalanced semi-annually. As of September 30, 2016, the Index had 74 constituents. As of September 30, 2016, the Index had a median market capitalization of $2.6 billion and included companies with market capitalizations ranging from $687 million to $31.4 billion. As of September 30, 2016, the Index was concentrated in the information technology and financials sectors.

In addition, on page 5 of the Fund’s Summary Prospectus and on page 115 of the Fund’s statutory Prospectus, the paragraph immediately following the table under “Principal Investment Risks - Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk” is replaced with the following:

The Index’s annualized historical volatility rate for the five-year period ended December 31, 2015 was 21.51%. The Index’s highest volatility rate for any one calendar year during the five-year period was 25.42% and volatility for a shorter period of time may have been substantially higher. The Index’s annualized performance for the five-year period ended December 31, 2015 was -2.41%. Historical Index volatility and performance are not indications of what the Index volatility and performance will be in the future. The volatility of ETFs or instruments that reflect the value of the Index, such as swaps, may differ from the volatility of the Index.
