Returns with sales charges reflect a maximum sales charge of 5.75%.
Past performance is not a reliable indicator or guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Returns shown include the reinvestment of all distributions. Returns shown at net asset value do not reflect the current maximum sales charge, had the sales charge been included, returns would have been lower. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, on any given day or when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

| Fund Gross Expense Ratio | 1.15% |
| Fund Net Expense Ratio | 0.96% |
Expense ratio details, Click here.
The net expense ratio takes into account contractual fee waivers/expense reimbursements that currently are scheduled to remain in place through 03/31/2026. For periods when fees and expenses were waived and/or reimbursed, the Fund benefited by not bearing such expenses. Without such fee waivers/reimbursements, performance would have been lower.
