Effective immediately, the fifth bullet under the heading Class C Shares in the subsection entitled Choosing a Shares Class within the section entitled Investing in the Funds in each prospectus is amended and restated as follows:
| Effective June 1, 2018, except as noted below, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after 10 years. Please see the section Exchanging or Converting Shares for details regarding a conversion of shares. Generally, to be eligible to have your Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares, the Fund or the financial intermediary through which you purchased your shares will need to have records verifying that your Class C shares have been held for 10 years. Due to operational limitations at your financial intermediary, your ability to have your Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares may be limited. Group retirement plans of certain financial intermediaries who hold Class C shares with the Fund in an omnibus account do not track participant level aging of shares and therefore these shares will not be eligible for an automatic conversion. Please consult your financial representative for more information. |
Effective immediately, the second paragraph within the section entitled Exchanging or Converting Shares in each prospectus is amended and restated as follows:
In certain circumstances, you may convert shares of your Fund from your current share class into another share class in the same Fund. A conversion is subject to the eligibility requirements of the share class of your Fund that you are converting into including investment minimum requirements. The conversion from one class of shares to another will be based on the respective NAVs of the separate share classes on the trade date for the conversion. Effective June 1, 2018, except as noted below, Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after 10 years. Generally, to be eligible to have your Class C shares automatically converted to Class A shares, the Fund or the financial intermediary through which you purchased your shares will need to have records verifying that your Class C shares have been held for 10 years.
