Supplement dated July 23, 2026

to the Statement of Additional Information ("SAI")

dated November 28, 2025, as supplemented

Effective immediately, the following changes are being made to the SAI:

The section of the SAI entitled "Types of Investments" is amended by adding the following disclosure:

Short Sales

The Funds may use short sales for hedging and non-hedging purposes. To effect a short sale, a Fund borrows a security from or through a brokerage firm to make delivery to the buyer. The Fund is then obligated to replace the borrowed security by purchasing it at the market price at the time of replacement. Until the security is replaced, the Fund is required to pay the lender any dividends on the borrowed security and may be required to pay loan fees, premiums, or interest. If the value of the security declines between the time a Fund borrows the security and the time it repurchases and returns the security to the lender, the Fund makes a profit on the difference (less any expenses the Fund is required to pay the lender). There is no assurance that a security will decline in value during the period of the short sale and make a profit for a Fund. If the value of the security sold short increases between the time that a Fund borrows the security and the time it repurchases and returns the security to the lender, the Fund will realize a loss on the difference (plus any expenses the Fund is required to pay to the lender). Accordingly, the amount of any gain will decrease, and the amount of a loss will increase, by the amount of any loan fees, premiums, interest, or dividends a Fund may be required to pay in connection with a short sale. The proceeds of the short sale will be retained by the broker, to the extent necessary to meet the margin requirements, until the short position is closed out.

The Funds may also make short sales "against the box." A short sale "against the box" is a transaction in which a security identical to one owned by a Fund is borrowed and sold short. If a Fund enters into a short sale against the box, it is required to hold securities equivalent in-kind and in amount to the securities sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) while the short sale is outstanding. A Fund will incur transaction costs, including interest, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales against the box and will forgo an opportunity for capital appreciation in the security.

Selling short "against the box" typically limits the amount of effective leverage. Short sales "against the box" may be used to hedge against market risks when the Advisor believes that the price of a security may decline, causing a decline in the value of a security or a security convertible into or exchangeable for such security. In such case, any future losses in the long position would be reduced by a gain in the short position. The extent to which such gains or losses in the long position are reduced will depend upon the amount of securities sold short relative to the amount of the securities owned, either directly or indirectly, and, in the case of convertible securities, changes in the investment values or conversion premiums of such securities.

Short sales, at least theoretically, present a risk of unlimited loss on an individual security basis, particularly in cases where a Fund is unable, for whatever reason, to close out its short positions, since the Fund may be required to buy the security sold short at a time when the security has appreciated in value, and there is potentially no limit to the amount of such appreciation. The effect of short selling is similar to the effect of leverage. Short selling may amplify changes in a Fund's NAV. Short selling may also produce higher than normal portfolio turnover, which may result in increased transaction costs to a Fund.

A Fund's ability to engage in short sales may be impaired by any temporary prohibitions on short selling imposed by domestic and certain foreign government regulators. Any short sale borrowing is defined as a derivatives transaction under Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act and will be subject to the requirements of that rule. Moreover, in response to market events, the SEC and regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions may adopt bans on, and/or reporting requirements for, short sales of certain securities.

You should read this Supplement in conjunction with the Prospectus and SAI.
