can increase during times of significant
market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Market Risk. The market values of the Fund’s
investments, and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares, will go up and down, sometimes
rapidly or unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry or section of the
economy, or it may affect the market as a whole. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to the particular issuer, such as real or perceived adverse
economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for revenues or corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, regional or global instability, natural or environmental disasters, widespread disease or other public
health issues, war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, economic crisis or adverse investor sentiment generally. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value. When markets perform
well, there can be no assurance that specific investments held by the Fund will rise in value.
Investing in Stocks
Risk. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant short-term volatility and
may fall or rise sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each
other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.
The prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same
direction at the same time. However, individual stock prices tend to go up and down more
dramatically than those of certain other types of investments, such as bonds. A variety of factors can negatively affect the price of a particular company’s stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings
reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry. To the extent that
securities of a particular type are emphasized (for example foreign stocks, stocks of small- or mid-cap companies, growth or value stocks, or stocks of companies in a particular industry), Fund share values may fluctuate more in
response to events affecting the market for those types of securities.
Index Risk. Unlike many investment companies, the Fund does not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of its Underlying Index. Therefore, the Fund would
not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added to or removed from, respectively, the Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming. Additionally, the Fund generally
rebalances its portfolio in accordance with the Underlying Index, and, therefore, any changes to the Underlying Index’s rebalance schedule will typically result in corresponding changes to the Fund’s rebalance
schedule.
Sector Focus Risk. The Fund may from time to time have a significant amount of its assets invested in one market sector or
group of related industries. In this event, the Fund’s performance will depend to a greater
extent on the overall condition of the sector or group of industries and there is increased risk
that the Fund will lose significant value if conditions adversely affect that sector or group of industries.
Derivatives
Risk. The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or
other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity
risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk
because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by holding a
position in the derivative. As a result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset
could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative or the
anticipated value of the underlying asset,
which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its
derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to
value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Derivatives strategies may not always be successful. For example,
derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.
Non-Correlation Risk. The Fund’s return may not match the return of the Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable
to the Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing and reconstituting the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of the Underlying
Index. In addition, the performance of the Fund and the Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between the Fund’s portfolio and the Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions,
costs or liquidity constraints.
The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Fund from year to year as of
December 31. The performance table compares the Fund's performance to that of a broad-based securities market benchmark.
The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its
future performance. Performance information for Class R shares is not shown because it has not yet
commenced operations as of the date of this prospectus; therefore, the returns shown are those of
the Fund's Class A shares. Class R shares' returns of the Fund will be different from those of Class A shares' returns of the Fund as they have different expenses.
Fund performance reflects any applicable fee waivers and expense reimbursements. Performance returns would be lower without applicable fee waivers and expense
reimbursements.
All Fund performance shown assumes the reinvestment of dividends
and capital gains and the effect of the Fund’s expenses.

Annual
Total Returns The bar chart does not reflect sales loads. If it did, the annual total returns shown would be lower.
