Effective January 1, 2023, in the “Selling shares” subsection in the “Your Account” section of the Prospectus under the heading “Selling shares in writing” for Class A, Class C, Class I, and Class R6 shares, as applicable, the following similar paragraph is amended and restated in its entirety in each fund’s Prospectus as follows:
You will need to obtain your signature guarantee from a member of the Medallion Signature Guarantee Program. Most broker-dealers, banks, credit unions, and securities exchanges are members of this program. A notary public CANNOT provide a signature guarantee. Signature Services may make exceptions to any of the signature guarantee requirements.
