Performance is shown after deduction of ongoing charges. Any entry and exit charges are excluded from the calculation.

The performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.

The performance information for periods prior to August 1, 2016, the commencement of operations of the share class, shows the performance of the Fund’s Investor A Shares. The performance of this share class would be substantially similar to Investor A Shares because this share class and Investor A Shares invest in the same portfolio of securities and performance would only differ to the extent that this share class and Investor A Shares have different expenses.

The Fund’s returns between May 15, 2012 and January 28, 2016 are the returns of the Fund when it followed different investment strategies to invest a significant portion of its assets in other investment companies and directly in securities.

On December 1, 2023, the Fund began to compare its performance to the standard pricing time of the ICE BofA 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (the “Index”). Index data prior to March 1, 2021 is for the Index’s standard pricing time of 3pm. Index data from March 1, 2021 through November 30, 2023 is for a custom 4pm pricing variant of the Index. Index returns beginning on December 1, 2023 reflect the Index’s new standard pricing time of 4pm. The change of the Index’s standard pricing time from 3pm to 4pm resulted in the discontinuation of the custom 4pm pricing variant used from March 1, 2021 through November 30, 2023.
