for the VRDO. VRDOs are benchmarked to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association

As
a result of an expense limitation arrangement, effective December 1, 2022, the ratio of total annual fund
operating
expenses, other than interest, brokerage, taxes, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and
expenses,
to average net assets of Class I shares did not exceed 0.55%. Total annual fund operating expenses,
after
waiving and/or reimbursing expenses, exceeded the expense limitation as a result of interest expense. This
expense
limitation arrangement cannot be terminated prior to December 31, 2025 without the Board of Trustees’
consent.
Prior to December 1, 2022, the expense limitation was 0.60%. |
