Supplement dated December 18, 2020 (the “Supplement”)

to the Prospectus (the “Prospectus”) and

Statements of Additional Information (“SAI”)

for each of the Funds listed below (each, a “Fund”)

The information in this Supplement updates information in, and should be read in conjunction with, each Fund’s Prospectus and SAI.

The Fund expects to implement certain changes to the process of determining the Fund’s Net Asset Value no sooner than March 1, 2021, but no later than May 3, 2021. For certain foreign securities, a third-party vendor will supply evaluated, systematic fair value pricing based upon the movement of a proprietary multi-factor model after the relevant foreign markets have closed. This systematic fair value pricing methodology is designed to correlate the prices of foreign securities following the close of the local markets to the price that might have prevailed as of the Fund’s pricing time.
