(each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”)

Supplement dated September 24, 2020

to the Statement of Additional Information of each Fund, as supplemented to date (each, an “SAI”)

Effective November 23, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), each Fund’s automatic conversion feature for Investor C Shares will be modified to reduce the conversion period from ten years to eight years. Beginning on the Effective Date, Investor C Shares of each Fund will automatically convert to Investor A Shares of the same Fund approximately eight years after the date of purchase. Certain Financial Intermediaries, including group retirement recordkeeping platforms, may not have been tracking such holding periods and therefore may not be able to process such conversions. In these instances, Investor C Shares held as of the Effective Date will automatically convert to Investor A Shares eight years after the Effective Date.

Effective November 23, 2020, Part II of each SAI is amended as follows:

The seventh paragraph of the section entitled “Purchase of Shares — Deferred Sales Charge Alternative — Investor C Shares” is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Each Fund has adopted an automatic conversion feature for Investor C Shares. Effective November 23, 2020, Investor C Shares held for approximately eight years will be converted into Investor A Shares, as set forth in each Fund’s Prospectus. In addition, accounts that do not have a financial intermediary associated with them are not eligible to hold Investor C Shares, and any Investor C Shares held in such accounts will be automatically converted to Investor A Shares.

The first and second paragraphs of the subsection entitled “Purchase of Shares — Deferred Sales Charge Alternative — Investor C Shares — Conversion of Investor C Shares to Investor A Shares” are deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:

Effective November 23, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), approximately eight years after purchase, Investor C Shares of each Fund will convert automatically into Investor A Shares of that Fund (the “Investor C 8-Year Conversion”). Certain funds (the “Predecessor Funds”) were reorganized into new Funds (the “Successor Funds”) pursuant to reorganizations which occurred in September 2018. The holding period for Investor C Shares of Successor Funds includes the period such shares were held in the respective Predecessor Fund. It is the financial intermediary’s responsibility to ensure that the shareholder is credited with the proper holding period. As of the Effective Date, certain Financial Intermediaries, including group retirement recordkeeping platforms, may not have been tracking such holding periods and therefore may not be able to process such conversions. In such instances, Investor C Shares held as of the Effective Date will automatically convert to Investor A Shares

approximately eight years after the Effective Date. If, as of November 23, 2028 (eight years after the Effective Date), a financial intermediary has not implemented systems or procedures to track holding periods commencing from the Effective Date, shareholders holding Investor C Shares through such financial intermediary will no longer be eligible to hold Investor C Shares and any such shares will convert to Investor A Shares as soon as reasonably practicable after such date.

In addition, accounts that do not have a financial intermediary associated with them are not eligible to hold Investor C Shares, and any Investor C Shares held in such accounts will be automatically converted into Investor A Shares (the “Investor C Direct Accounts Conversion” and together with the Investor C 8-Year Conversion, the “Investor C Conversions”).

Customers of certain Financial Intermediaries may be eligible for different share class exchange policies, as described in the “Intermediary — Defined Sales Charge Waiver Policies” section of the applicable Fund’s Prospectus.

Shareholders should retain this Supplement for future reference.
