A CDSC of 1.00% will be charged on Class C Share purchases that are redeemed in whole or in part within 12 months of the date of purchase.
3The expense information in the table has been restated to reflect the current management fee and expense caps, effective April 1, 2025.
4Other expenses for Class T shares are estimated for the current fiscal year, based on current expenses for the existing share classes.
5The total annual fund operating expenses and total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursements do not correlate to the ratio of expense to average net assets appearing in the financial highlights table, which reflects only the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include acquired fund fees and expenses.

 

Example

 

This example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

 

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.

 

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

 

  One Year Three Years Five Years Ten Years
Class A Shares $574 $888 $1,224 $2,171
Class C Shares $334 $712 $1,220 $2,615
Class T Shares $402 $721 $1,063 $2,028
Institutional Class Shares $130 $406 $702 $1,545

 

 

 

You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:

 

  One Year Three Years Five Years Ten Years
Class C Shares $231 $712 $1,220 $2,615

 

The second paragraph under the “Investment Advisor” heading on page 22 of the Prospectus is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Advisor an annual advisory fee of 0.95% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the services and facilities it provides, payable on a monthly basis. Prior to April 1, 2025, the Fund paid the Advisor an annual advisory fee of 1.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Advisor received advisory fees of 1.19% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, after waiving fees pursuant to its expense limitation agreement with the Trust, on behalf of the Fund. Pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement, the Advisor pays a portion of its advisory fee to the Sub-Advisor. The Fund’s SAI provides additional information about the fees paid to the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor.

 

The second paragraph under the “Fund Expenses” heading beginning on page 22 of the Prospectus and the third paragraph under the “Fund Expenses” heading beginning on page B-43 of the SAI is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or pay for operating expenses of the Fund to ensure that the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding any front-end or contingent deferred loads, taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses (as determined in accordance with Form N-1A), expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, and extraordinary expenses such as litigation expenses) do not exceed 1.60%, 2.35%, 1.60% and 1.35% of the average daily net assets of the Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class T Shares and Institutional Class Shares, respectively. Prior to April 1, 2025, the Advisor contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or pay for operating expenses of the Fund to ensure that the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding the same expenses described above) did not exceed 1.75%, 2.50%, 1.75% and 1.50% of the average daily net assets of the Class A Shares, Class C Shares, Class T Shares and Institutional Class Shares, respectively. Class T Shares are not currently available for purchase. This agreement is in effect through April 30, 2026, and it may be terminated before that date only by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.

 

As of the Effective Date, all additional references in the Prospectus and SAI to the annual management fee and expense limitation arrangement with respect to the Fund are revised as indicated above.
