Supplement Dated December 19, 2018
to the Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") dated January 31, 2018, as amended on
April 19, 2018, July 9, 2018 and October 29, 2018
This Supplement provides new and additional information beyond that contained in the SAI and should be read in conjunction with such SAI.
The SAI is hereby amended and supplemented to reflect the following changes to the Fund.
Change in Portfolio Management of the Fund
On the cover page of the SAI, the reference to "PanAgora Asset Management Inc." is hereby deleted.
In addition, under the section titled "The Adviser and Sub-Advisers," under the heading titled "The Sub-Advisers," the text relating to PanAgora Asset Management Inc. is hereby deleted and the following text is hereby added in the appropriate alphabetical order thereof:
QTRON INVESTMENTS LLCQtron Investments LLC ("Qtron") serves as a Sub-Adviser to a portion of the assets of the Emerging Markets Equity Fund. Qtron is independent and 100% employee owned. Currently, co-founders Mr. Ronald Hua and Dr. Dmitri Kantsyrev are the only managing partners of the firm and share equal equity ownership.
In addition, under the same heading, the following text is hereby added in the appropriate alphabetical order thereof:
Qtron
Compensation. SIMC pays Qtron a fee based on the assets under management of the Emerging Markets Equity Fund as set forth in an investment sub-advisory agreement between Qtron and SIMC. Qtron pays its investment professionals out of its total revenues and other resources, including the sub-advisory fees earned with respect to the Emerging Markets Equity Fund. The following information relates to the period ended September 30, 2018.
Qtron's compensation package for investment professionals consists of a competitive base salary (based on annual benchmarking study), a performance-based bonus, and equity incentives. The base salaries and performance bonus account for the majority of employees' remuneration. The performance bonus elements may comprise of cash and/or equity incentives at the discretion of the management team.
Ownership of Fund Shares. As of September 30, 2018, Qtron's portfolio managers did not beneficially own any shares of the Emerging Markets Equity Fund.

None of the accounts listed above are subject to a performance-based advisory fee.
Conflicts of Interest. A conflict of interest may arise as a result of the portfolio manager being responsible for multiple accounts, including the Emerging Markets Equity Fund, which may have different investment guidelines and objectives. In addition to the Emerging Markets Equity Fund, these accounts may include accounts of registered investment companies, private pooled investment vehicles and other accounts. In particular, this conflict of interest may arise as a result of Qtron's management of the Emerging Markets Equity Fund and other accounts, which, in theory, may allow Qtron to allocate investment opportunities in a way that favors other accounts over the Emerging Markets Equity Fund. This conflict of interest may be exacerbated to the extent that Qtron or the portfolio manager receive, or expect to receive, greater compensation from their management of the other accounts (some of which receive both a management and incentive fee) than the Emerging Markets Equity Fund. Qtron (or its members, employees and affiliates) may give advice or take action with respect to the other accounts that differs from the advice given with respect to the Emerging Markets Equity Fund. To the extent a particular investment is suitable for both the Emerging
Markets Equity Fund and the other accounts, such investments will be allocated between the Emerging Markets Equity Fund and the other accounts in a manner that Qtron determines is fair and equitable under the circumstances to all clients, including the Emerging Markets Equity Fund.
To address and manage these potential conflicts of interest, Qtron has adopted compliance policies and procedures to allocate investment opportunities and to ensure that each of their clients is treated on a fair and equitable basis.
In addition, under the same heading, the sub-heading titled "PanAgora" and the paragraphs thereunder are hereby deleted.
There are no other changes to the portfolio management of the Fund.
There are no other changes to the SAI.
