Effective September 30, 2020, the following replaces the information in the section entitled “Portfolio Managers — Description of Material Conflicts of Interest”:

Description of Material Conflicts of Interest

Individual portfolio managers may perform investment management services for other funds or accounts similar to those provided to the Fund and the investment action for each such other fund or account and the Fund may differ. For example, an account or fund may be selling a security, while another account or fund may be purchasing or holding the same security. As a result, transactions executed for one fund or account may adversely affect the value of securities held by another fund, account, or the Fund. Additionally, the management of multiple other funds or accounts and the Fund may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, as a portfolio manager must allocate time and effort to multiple funds or accounts and the Fund. A portfolio manager may discover an investment opportunity that may be suitable for more than one account or fund. The investment opportunity may be limited, however, so that all funds or accounts for which the investment would be suitable may not be able to participate. The Manager has adopted procedures designed to allocate investments fairly across multiple funds and accounts.


One of the accounts managed by the portfolio managers as set forth in the table above has a performance-based fee. This compensation structure presents a potential conflict of interest because the portfolio manager has an incentive to manage this account so as to enhance his or her performance, to the possible detriment of other accounts for which the Manager does not receive a performance-based fee.

A portfolio manager’s management of personal accounts also may present certain conflicts of interest. While the Manager’s Code of Ethics is designed to address these potential conflicts, there is no guarantee that it will do so.

Effective September 30, 2020, the following replaces the information in the section of the chart entitled “Portfolio Managers — Ownership of Fund Shares”:
