The caption headings used in this Supplement correspond to the caption headings used in the prospectus. You may purchase Class I shares only if you are an eligible investor, as described under the caption "Buying and Selling Shares" below. PAST PERFORMANCE Class I has not been in existence for a full calendar year, and therefore performance information is not shown. The performance table is intended to indicate some of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance over time. Please note that you will find performance returns for other classes of shares of the Fund, together with returns of one or more broad measures of market performance, in the performance table of the prospectus. Past performance for Class I for the period prior to March 4, 2004 may be calculated based on the performance of Class A, adjusted to reflect differences in sales charges, but not differences in annual Fund operating expenses. The use of blended performance (Class I performance blended with Class A performance for periods before March 4, 2004) generally results in lower performance than Class I shares would have achieved had they been offered for the entire period. FEES AND EXPENSES Fund investors pay various expenses. The table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. Expenses are based on the Fund's most recent fiscal year, adjusted to reflect current fees. The table is supplemented as follows: Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment) Class I Maximum sales charge (load) imposed on purchases (as a percentage of offering price) none Maximum deferred sales charge (load) imposed on sales (as a percentage of offering price at time of purchase) none Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that are deducted from Fund assets) As a percentage of average daily net assets: Class I Management fees(a) 0.46% Distribution (12b-1) fees 0.00% Other expenses(b) 0.08% Total 0.54% (a) Includes the impact of a performance incentive adjustment fee that decreased the management fee by 0.03% for the most recent fiscal year.
