If the net operating expenses shown are lower than the gross operating expenses, then the net operating expenses reflect fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements that may not be renewed. For more information about the amount of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements and their expiration dates, please see the expense table in the prospectus.

2 Gross operating expenses shown are before management fee waivers or expense caps. Performance information may reflect historical or current expense waivers or reimbursements, without which, performance would have been lower. For more information on fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, please see the expense table in the prospectus.
