Example. This Example is intended to help you compare the cost 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, that the operating expenses remain the same and that any expense reimbursement arrangement remains in place for the contractual period. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover

The  Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" the portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 9% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of companies located in emerging market countries (the "80% Policy"). The Fund invests in equity securities of such companies generally consisting of common stock, but may also include company's stock trading in the form of a depositary receipt (including American Depositary Receipts, which are either sponsored or unsponsored, and Global Depositary Receipts). A company will be considered to be located in an emerging market country if it is domiciled in and tied economically to one or more emerging market countries. Emerging market countries are generally countries not considered to be developed market countries, and therefore not included in the MSCI World Index. The Fund intends to invest primarily in securities issued by companies located in countries included in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index or the MSCI Frontier Markets Index. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is an unmanaged index of common stocks of issuers in emerging markets countries. The MSCI Frontier Markets Index is an unmanaged index of common stocks of issuers in countries that have less-developed economies and financial markets than more established emerging markets. Frontier markets often have more restrictions on foreign stock ownership. Securities acquired by the Fund are typically listed on stock exchanges in emerging market countries, but also may include securities traded in markets outside these countries. The Fund may invest in securities issued by companies with a broad range of market capitalizations, including those of smaller, less seasoned companies. More than 25% of the Fund's total assets may be denominated in any single currency. The Fund may invest in publicly traded real estate investment trusts ("REITs") and may also lend its securities.

In managing the Fund, the portfolio managers seek to balance investment considerations and tax considerations, taking into account the taxes payable by shareholders in connection with distributions of investment income and net realized gains. The Fund seeks to minimize income distributions and distributions of realized short-term gains that are taxed as ordinary income, as well as distributions of realized long-term gains (taxed as long-term capital gains). The Fund seeks to employ a top-down, disciplined and systematic investment process that emphasizes broad exposure and diversification among emerging market countries, economic sectors and issuers. This rules-based strategy utilizes targeted allocation and systematic  rebalancing to take advantage of certain quantitative and behavioral characteristics of emerging markets identified by the portfolio managers. The investment process is periodically re-evaluated and may be adjusted to ensure that the process is consistent with the Fund's investment objective and strategies. The portfolio managers select and allocate across countries based on factors such as size, liquidity, level of economic development, local economic diversification, and perceived risk and potential for growth. The Fund maintains a bias to broad inclusion; that is, the Fund intends to allocate its portfolio holdings to more emerging market countries rather than fewer emerging market countries. Relative to capitalization-weighted country indexes, individual country allocation targets emphasize the less represented emerging market countries and attempt to reduce concentration risks relative to a capitalization-weighted index. The Fund's country allocations are rebalanced to their target weights if they exceed a certain pre-determined overweight or fall below a certain pre-determined underweight. Rebalancing has the effect of reducing exposure to countries with strong relative performance and increasing exposure to countries which have underperformed. The frequency of rebalancing depends on the volatility and trading costs of the individual country. At the portfolio level and within each country, the Fund seeks to maintain exposure across key economic sectors. Relative to capitalization-weighted country indexes, the portfolio managers target weights to these sectors to emphasize the less represented sectors. The portfolio managers use a quantitative model to select individual securities as representatives of their economic sectors and generally weight them by their relative capitalization within that sector.

Principal Risks

Market Risk. The value of investments held by the Fund may increase or decrease in response to social, economic, political, financial, public health crises or other disruptive events (whether real, expected or perceived) in the U.S. and global markets and include events such as war, natural disasters, epidemics and pandemics, terrorism, conflicts and social unrest. These events may negatively impact broad segments of businesses and populations and may exacerbate pre-existing risks to the Fund. The frequency and magnitude of

resulting changes in the value of the Fund's investments cannot be predicted. Certain securities and other investments held by the Fund may experience increased volatility, illiquidity, or other potentially adverse effects in reaction to changing market conditions. Monetary and/or fiscal actions taken by U.S. or foreign governments to stimulate or stabilize the global economy may not be effective and could lead to high market volatility.

Equity Securities Risk. The value of equity securities and related instruments may decline in response to adverse changes in the economy or the economic outlook; deterioration in investor sentiment; interest rate, currency, and commodity price fluctuations; adverse geopolitical, social or environmental developments; issuer and sector-specific considerations; unexpected trading activity among retail investors; or other factors. Market conditions may affect certain types of stocks to a greater extent than other types of stocks. If the stock market declines in value, the value of the Fund's equity securities will also likely decline. Although prices can rebound, there is no assurance that values will return to previous levels.

Tax-Managed Investing Risk. Market conditions may limit the Fund's ability to generate tax losses or to generate dividend income taxed at favorable tax rates. The Fund's tax-managed strategy may cause the Fund to hold a security in order to achieve more favorable tax-treatment or to sell a security in order to create tax losses. The Fund's ability to utilize various tax-management techniques may be curtailed or eliminated by tax legislation, regulation or interpretations. Although the Fund expects that a smaller portion of its total return will consist of taxable distributions to shareholders as compared to equity mutual funds that are managed without regard to tax considerations, there can be no assurance about the size of taxable distributions to shareholders.

Foreign Investment Risk. Foreign investments can be adversely affected by political, economic and market developments abroad, including the imposition of economic and other sanctions by the United States or another country against a particular country or countries, organizations, entities and/or individuals. There may be less publicly available information about foreign issuers because they may not be subject to reporting practices, requirements or regulations comparable to those to which United States companies are subject. Adverse changes in investment regulations, capital requirements or exchange controls could adversely affect the value of the Fund's investments. Foreign markets may be smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major markets in the United States and, as a result, Fund share values may be more volatile. Trading in foreign markets typically involves higher expense than trading in the United States. The Fund may have difficulties enforcing its legal or contractual rights in a foreign country. Depositary receipts are subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign instruments, including the political and economic risks of the underlying issuer's country and, in the case of depositary receipts traded on foreign markets, currency risk.

Emerging Markets Investment Risk. Investment markets within emerging market countries are typically smaller, less liquid, less developed and more volatile than those in more developed markets like the United States, and may be focused in certain sectors. Emerging market securities often involve greater risks than developed market securities. The information available about an emerging market issuer may be less reliable than for comparable issuers in more developed capital markets. Such risks may be greater in frontier markets.

Frontier Market Investment Risk. Frontier markets are among the smallest and least mature investment markets. Frontier market countries may have greater political or economic instability and may also be subject to trade barriers, adjustments in currency values and developing or changing securities laws and other regulations. Investments in frontier market countries generally are less liquid and subject to greater price volatility than investments in developed markets or emerging markets.

China Region Risk. Economies of countries in the China region differ from the U.S. economy in various ways, such as structure, general development, government involvement, wealth distribution, interest rates, rate of growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments position. As export-driven economies, the economies of countries in the China region are affected by developments in the economies and governmental actions of their principal trading partners, such as the imposition of trading restrictions and tariffs. China's governmental actions and the actions of other governments located in the region can have a significant effect on the economic conditions in the China region or a particular issuer or industry, which could adversely affect the value and liquidity of investments. For example, a government may restrict investment in companies or industries considered important to national interests, intervene in the financial markets, maintain strict currency controls, or impose repatriation restrictions. Significant portions of the Chinese securities markets may become rapidly illiquid, as Chinese issuers may suspend the trading of their equity securities. In addition, there is the potential of increased tariffs and restrictions (and threats thereof) on trade between the U.S. and China, concerns of which have been heightened by recent developments in relations between the U.S., other trading partners and China. An increase in tariffs or trade restrictions, or even the threat of such developments, could lead to a significant reduction in international trade, which could have a negative impact on China's export industry, Chinese issuers, the liquidity or price of the Fund's direct or indirect investments in China and, therefore, the Fund. The Fund's investments in Chinese securities are also subject to additional risks associated with differing regulatory and audit requirements across the Chinese and U.S. securities markets. Although China and certain other countries in the China region may be larger and/or more established than many emerging markets, markets in these countries carry the high levels of risk associated with emerging markets. Investments in China involve a risk of total loss due to government action or inaction or other adverse circumstances.

Currency Risk. Exchange rates for currencies fluctuate daily. The value of foreign investments may be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in currency exchange rates in relation to the  U.S. dollar. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets and currency transactions are subject to settlement, custodial and other operational risks.

Focused Investment Risk. To the extent the Fund has substantial investments in a relatively small number of securities or issuers, or a particular market, industry, group of industries, country, region, group of countries, asset class or sector, the Fund's performance will be more susceptible to any single economic, market, political, or regulatory occurrence affecting those particular securities or issuers or that particular market, industry, group of industries, country, region, group of countries, assets class, or sector than a fund that invests more broadly.

Geographic Risk. Because the Fund may invest significantly in a particular geographic region or country, the value of Fund shares may be affected by events that adversely affect the region or country and may fluctuate more than that of a fund that invests more broadly.

Smaller Company Risk. The stocks of smaller, less seasoned companies are generally subject to greater price fluctuations, limited liquidity, higher transaction costs and higher investment risk than the stocks of larger, more established companies. Such companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, may be dependent on a limited management group, and may lack substantial capital reserves or an established performance record. There may be generally less publicly available information about such companies than for larger, more established companies. Stocks of these companies frequently have lower trading volumes making them more volatile and potentially less liquid and more difficult to value.

Liquidity Risk. The Fund is exposed to liquidity risk when trading volume, lack of a market maker or trading partner, large position size, market conditions, or legal restrictions impair its ability to sell particular investments or to sell them at advantageous market prices. Consequently, the Fund may have to accept a lower price to sell an investment or continue to hold it or keep the position open, sell other investments to raise cash or abandon an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on the Fund's performance. These effects may be exacerbated during times of financial or political stress.

Real Estate Risk. Real estate investments are subject to risks associated with owning real estate, including declines in real estate values, increases in property taxes, fluctuations in interest rates, limited availability of mortgage financing, decreases in revenues from underlying real estate assets, declines in occupancy rates, changes in government regulations affecting zoning, land use, and rents, environmental liabilities, and risks related to the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. Companies in the real estate industry may also be subject to liabilities under environmental and hazardous waste laws, among others. REITs  must satisfy specific requirements for favorable tax treatment and can involve unique risks in addition to the risks generally affecting the real estate industry. Changes in underlying real estate values may have an exaggerated effect to the extent that investments are concentrated in particular geographic regions or property types.

Rules-Based Management Risks. The sub-adviser uses proprietary investment techniques and analyses in making investment decisions for the  Fund, seeking to achieve its investment objective while minimizing exposure to security-specific risk. The strategy seeks to take advantage of certain quantitative and behavioral market characteristics identified by the sub-adviser, utilizing a rules-based process and systematic rebalancing. A systematic investment process is dependent on the sub-adviser's skill in developing and maintaining that process. The  Fund's strategy has not been independently tested or validated, and there can be no assurance that it will achieve the desired results.

Securities Lending Risk. Securities lending involves the risk that the Fund may lose money because the borrower of the loaned securities fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. The Fund also may lose rights in the collateral if the borrower fails financially. The Fund could also lose money if the value of the collateral decreases or if the value of any investments made with cash collateral declines.

General Fund Investing Risks. The Fund is not a complete investment program and there is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund is designed to be a long-term investment vehicle and is not suited for short-term trading. Investors in the Fund should have a long-term investment perspective and be able to tolerate potentially sharp declines in value. Purchase and redemption activities by Fund shareholders may impact the management of the Fund and its ability to achieve its investment objective(s). In addition, the redemption by one or more large shareholders or groups of shareholders of their holdings in the Fund could have an adverse impact on the remaining shareholders in the Fund. The Fund relies on various service providers, including the investment adviser and sub-adviser, if applicable, in its operations and is susceptible to operational, information security and related events (such as public health crises, cyber or hacking attacks) that may affect the service providers or the services that they provide to the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual U.S. federal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on a shareholder's tax situation and the actual characterization of distributions, and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to shareholders who hold shares in tax-deferred accounts or to shares held by non-taxable entities.  Return After Taxes on Distributions for a period may be the same as Return Before Taxes for that period because no taxable distributions were made during that period. Also, Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares for a period may be greater than or equal to Return Before Taxes and/or Return After Taxes on Distributions for the same period because of losses realized on the sale of Fund shares.
