Effective immediately, the paragraph following the bullet-points in the sub-section “How to Purchase Shares” within the section “General Information” is amended and restated as follows:

The Fund generally must receive your properly completed order before the close of regular trading on the Exchange for your shares to be bought or sold at the Fund’s NAV on that day. Purchases made through ACH prior to the close of regular trading on the Exchange will be considered to be received and will be effected at the NAV calculated on the following business day.
