style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in the Fund or in other Nuveen mutual funds. More information about these and other discounts, as well as eligibility requirements for each share class, is available from your financial advisor and in “How You Can Buy and Sell Shares” on page 18 of the Fund’s prospectus and “Purchase and Redemption of Fund Shares” on page S-57 of the Fund’s statement of additional information. In addition, more information about sales charge discounts and waivers for purchases of shares through specific financial intermediaries is set forth in the appendix to the Fund’s prospectus entitled “Variations in Sales Charge Reductions and Waivers Available Through Certain Intermediaries.”</div><div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">The tables and examples below do not reflect any commissions that shareholders may be required to pay directly to their financial intermediaries when buying or selling Class I shares.</div> You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in the Fund or in other Nuveen mutual funds. 50000 Shareholder Fees(fees paid directly from your investment) 0.0575 0 0 0 0 0.0100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15 15 0 0 Annual Fund Operating Expenses(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) 0.0059 0.0059 0.0059 0.0059 0.0025 0.0100 0.0000 0.0000 0.0008 0.0008 0.0003 0.0008 0.0092 0.0167 0.0062 0.0067 The contingent deferred sales charge on Class C shares applies only to redemptions within 12 months of purchase. Example <div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">The following 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 either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of a period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:</div> 663 663 170 170 63 63 68 68 851 851 526 526 198 198 214 214 1055 1055 907 907 346 346 373 373 1641 1641 1976 1976 774 774 834 834 Portfolio Turnover <div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its 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 11% of the average value of its portfolio. </div> 0.11 Principal Investment Strategies <div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in dividend-paying common stocks and preferred securities. Companies in certain economic sectors of the market have historically provided higher dividend yields than companies in other sectors and industries. As a result, given the Fund’s focus on dividend-paying securities, the Fund may, from time to time, have a greater exposure to these higher dividend-yield sectors and industries than the broad equity market.</div><div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">The Fund may invest in small-, mid- and large-cap companies.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of a period.

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.

The minimum portion of the Fund’s net assets invested in non-U.S. securities floats based on the portion of the Fund’s benchmark (the MSCI World Index) that is composed of non-U.S. securities. Under normal market conditions, the minimum portion of the Fund’s net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) invested in non-U.S. securities will be 80% of the MSCI World Index’s non-U.S. assets, calculated on a daily basis. During periods of unfavorable market conditions, the minimum portion of the Fund’s net assets invested in non-U.S. securities will be reduced to 50% of the MSCI World Index’s non-U.S. assets. The Fund will invest in securities of companies representing at least three different countries (one of which may be the United States). The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in companies located in emerging market countries. The Fund may invest in small-, mid- and large-cap companies.</div><div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">The Fund’s sub-adviser is focused on bottom-up fundamental analysis to identify what it believes to be the highest quality companies that meet the Fund’s investment criteria. When selecting companies, the sub-adviser evaluates certain factors, including a sound business model, strong overall financial position, earnings growth, return on equity, quality of management, potential for dividend growth, market valuation, the commitment to return cash to shareholders, and individual country factors, including macroeconomic and political risk factors.</div> Principal Risks The value of your investment in this Fund will change daily.

For example, these countries may have more unstable governments than developed countries and their economies may be based on only a few industries. Emerging market countries may also have less stringent regulation of accounting, auditing, financial reporting and recordkeeping requirements, which would affect the Fund’s ability to evaluate potential portfolio companies. As a result, there could be less information about issuers in emerging market countries, which could negatively affect the ability of the Fund’s sub-adviser to evaluate local companies or their potential impact on the Fund’s performance. Because their financial markets may be very small, prices of financial instruments in emerging market countries may be volatile and difficult to determine. Financial instruments of issuers in these countries may have lower overall liquidity than those of issuers in more developed countries. In addition, foreign investors such as the Fund are subject to a variety of special restrictions in many emerging market countries.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of a period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same and that the fee waivers currently in place are not renewed beyond July 31, 2026.

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 18% of the average value of its portfolio.</div> 0.18 Principal Investment Strategies <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in dividend-paying equity securities, which include preferred securities.

When selecting companies, the sub-adviser evaluates certain factors, including a sound business model, strong overall financial position, earnings growth, return on equity, quality of management, potential for dividend growth, market valuation, the commitment to return cash to shareholders, and individual country factors, including macroeconomic and political risk factors.</div> Principal Risks The value of your investment in this Fund will change daily. You could lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Active Management Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—The Fund’s sub-adviser actively manages the Fund’s investments. Consequently, the Fund is subject to the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses employed by the Fund’s sub-adviser may not produce the desired results. This could cause the Fund to lose value or its investment results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Currency Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of non-U.S. securities, the value of dividends and interest earned from such securities, and gains and losses realized on the sale of such securities. A strong U.S. dollar relative to these other currencies will adversely affect the value of the Fund’s portfolio. </span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Cybersecurity Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Cybersecurity risk is the risk of an unauthorized breach and access to Fund assets, customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or the risk of an incident occurring that causes the Fund, its investment adviser or sub-adviser, custodian, transfer agent, distributor or other service provider, a financial intermediary or the issuers of securities held by the Fund to suffer a data breach, data corruption or lose operational functionality. Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events affecting the Fund, its service providers or the issuers of securities held by the Fund may adversely impact the Fund or its shareholders. Additionally, a cybersecurity breach could affect the issuers in which the Fund invests, which may cause the Fund’s investments to lose value.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Dividend-Paying Security Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—The Fund’s investment in dividend-paying securities could cause the Fund to underperform similar funds that invest without consideration of a company’s track record of paying dividends. Securities of companies with a history of paying dividends may not participate in a broad market advance to the same degree as most other securities, and a sharp rise in interest rates or economic downturn could cause a company to unexpectedly reduce or eliminate its dividend. There is no guarantee that the issuers of the securities held by the Fund will declare dividends in the future or that, if declared, they will remain at their current levels or increase over time. Depending on market conditions, dividend paying securities that meet the Fund’s investment objectives may not be widely available or may be </span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">concentrated in only a few market sectors. This may limit the ability of the Fund to produce income while remaining diversified.</div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Emerging Markets Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—The risk of foreign investment often increases in countries with emerging markets or that are otherwise economically tied to emerging market countries. For example, these countries may have more unstable governments than developed countries and their economies may be based on only a few industries. Emerging market countries may also have less stringent regulation of accounting, auditing, financial reporting and recordkeeping requirements, which would affect the Fund’s ability to evaluate potential portfolio companies. As a result, there could be less information about issuers in emerging market countries, which could negatively affect the ability of the Fund’s sub-adviser to evaluate local companies or their potential impact on the Fund’s performance. Because their financial markets may be very small, prices of financial instruments in emerging market countries may be volatile and difficult to determine. Financial instruments of issuers in these countries may have lower overall liquidity than those of issuers in more developed countries. In addition, foreign investors such as the Fund are subject to a variety of special restrictions in many emerging market countries. Shareholder claims and regulatory actions that are available in the U.S. may be difficult or impossible to pursue in emerging market countries.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Equity Security Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio may decline significantly in price over short or extended periods of time, and such declines may occur because of declines in the equity market as a whole, or because of declines in only a particular country, company, industry, or sector of the market.

Foreign investments may also have lower liquidity and be more difficult to value than investments in U.S. issuers. To the extent the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies in a single country or region, it may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory events or conditions affecting that country or region. Foreign investments may also be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information, less stringent investor protections and less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards. The Fund currently invests a significant portion of its assets in companies located in the United Kingdom, although this may change over time.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Market Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—The market value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably and for short or extended periods of time, due to the particular circumstances of individual issuers or due to general conditions impacting issuers more broadly.

While mid-cap securities may be slightly less volatile than small-cap securities, they still involve similar risks.</span></div> Fund Performance <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the potential risks of investing in the Fund.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of a period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses are at the lesser of Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or the applicable expense limitation. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:</div> 690 690 198 198 84 84 97 97 935 935 614 614 263 263 304 304 1200 1200 1056 1056 459 459 529 529 1955 1955 2284 2284 1024 1024 1176 1176 Portfolio Turnover <div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its 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 46% of the average value of its portfolio. </div> 0.46 Principal Investment Strategies <div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the sum of its net assets and the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in equity securities of small-capitalization companies, and invests at least 80% of its net assets in securities of non-U.S. companies. Small-capitalization companies are defined as companies that have market capitalizations within the market capitalization range of the companies in the MSCI World Ex USA Small Cap Index on the last business day of the month in which its most recent rebalancing was completed. The index currently is rebalanced semiannually in May and November of each year. On May 31, 2024, the capitalization range of companies in the index was $66 million to $17.4 billion. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in equity securities of companies located in emerging market countries.</div><div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">The Fund’s sub-adviser seeks to invest in companies with improving fundamental profiles as well as sustainable, above-average earnings growth, high or rising returns on invested capital and reasonable relative valuations. In selecting securities, the sub-adviser initially narrows the investable universe using a quantitative screen that evaluates and ranks equity securities within regional peer groups. Next, securities with limited trading liquidity and research coverage are eliminated. The sub-adviser conducts a regular review of the remaining securities’ fundamental characteristics, including revenue and earnings growth, positive earnings revisions, earnings consistency, high or improving returns on invested capital and free cash flow, reasonable financial leverage and attractive relative valuation, to further narrow the list of investable securities. Finally, the sub-adviser conducts a qualitative fundamental review of the remaining securities in order to select securities for the Fund’s portfolio.</div><div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">The sub-adviser generally will sell an equity security for any of the following reasons: the company’s business fundamentals are deteriorating; there has been a decline in investor sentiment; the security has become significantly overvalued; there has been a significant price decline relative to peers; to maintain portfolio construction and risk control guidelines; or to replace the security with that of a company with better performance potential.</div><div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">The Fund may utilize options, including options on foreign currencies, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:italic;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">derivatives</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">”).

You could lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. <div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none">Active Management Risk</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">—The Fund’s sub-adviser actively manages the Fund’s investments. Consequently, the Fund is subject to the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses employed by the Fund’s sub-adviser may not produce the desired results. This could cause the Fund to lose value or its investment results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.</span></div> <div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none">Currency Risk</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">—Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of non-U.S. securities, the value of dividends and interest earned from such securities, gains and losses realized on the sale of such securities, and derivative </span></div><div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">transactions tied to such securities.

Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events affecting the Fund, its service providers or the issuers of securities held by the Fund may adversely impact the Fund or its shareholders. Additionally, a cybersecurity breach could affect the issuers in which the Fund invests, which may cause the Fund’s investments to lose value.</span></div> <div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none">Derivatives Risk</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">—The use of derivatives involves additional risks and transaction costs which could leave the Fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments. Derivative instruments can be used to acquire or to transfer the risk and returns of a security or other asset without buying or selling the security or asset, and the risks associated with investing in such derivatives may be different and greater than the risks associated with directly investing in the underlying securities and other instruments, including leverage risk, market risk, counterparty risk, liquidity risk, operational risk and legal risk. These instruments may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest. As a result, a small investment in derivatives can result in losses that greatly exceed the original investment. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value. An over-the-counter derivative transaction between the Fund and a counterparty that is not cleared through a central counterparty also involves the risk that a loss may be sustained as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the contract to make required payments. The payment obligation for a cleared derivative transaction is guaranteed by a central counterparty, which exposes the Fund to the creditworthiness of the central counterparty.</span></div> <div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none">Emerging Markets Risk</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">—The risk of foreign investment often increases in countries with emerging markets or that are otherwise economically tied to emerging market countries. For example, these countries may have more unstable governments than developed countries and their economies may be based on only a few industries. Emerging market countries may also have less stringent regulation of accounting, auditing, financial reporting and recordkeeping requirements, which would affect the Fund’s ability to evaluate potential portfolio companies. As a result, there could be less information about issuers in emerging market countries, which could negatively affect the ability of the Fund’s sub-adviser to evaluate local companies or their potential impact on the Fund’s performance. Because their financial markets may be very small, prices of financial instruments in emerging market countries may be volatile and difficult to determine. Financial instruments of issuers in these countries may have lower overall liquidity than those of issuers in more developed countries. In addition, foreign investors such as the Fund are subject to a variety of special restrictions in many emerging market countries. Shareholder claims and regulatory actions that are available in the U.S. may be difficult or impossible to pursue in emerging market countries.</span></div> <div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none">Equity Security Risk</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">—Equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio may decline significantly in price over short or extended periods of time, and such declines may occur because of declines in the equity market as a whole, or because of declines in only a particular country, company, industry, or sector of the market.

Foreign investments may also have lower liquidity and be more difficult to value than investments in U.S. issuers. To the extent the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies in a single country or region, it may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory events or conditions affecting that country or region. Foreign investments may also be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information, less stringent investor protections and less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards.

Events such as war, terrorism, natural and environmental disasters and the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health emergencies may have a severe negative impact on the global economy, could cause financial markets to experience extreme volatility and losses, and could result in the disruption of trading and the reduction of liquidity in many instruments.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of a period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses are at the lesser of Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or </div><div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">the applicable expense limitation.

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 56% of the average value of its portfolio. </div> 0.56 Principal Investment Strategies <div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of the sum of its net assets and the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in equity securities of U.S. companies with market capitalizations in excess of $4 billion at the time of purchase. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in non-U.S. equity securities.</div><div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">The Fund’s sub-adviser employs a fundamental, bottom-up investment process that centers on identifying growth companies which exhibit some or all of the following characteristics:</div>·in an industry with growth potential;·leads or gains market share;·has identifiable and sustainable competitive advantages;·is managed by a team that can perpetuate the company’s competitive advantages;·high, and preferably rising, return on invested capital;·demonstrates sustainable Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) characteristics;·deploys excess cash flow to enhance shareholder returns; and·demonstrates sound corporate governance.<div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">In order to identify investment candidates for the Fund, the sub-adviser begins by quantitatively screening companies in the Russell 1000</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">^®</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none"> Index as well as certain companies that exhibit similar financial qualities and market capitalizations but are not otherwise in the Index. The screening process evaluates a company’s financial performance and certain ESG performance factors assigned scores by the sub-adviser based on data provided by independent ESG research vendors. The companies that pass this screen are then qualitatively assessed in the context of their respective industries. </span></div><div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">As part of its qualitative assessment, the sub-adviser evaluates each company’s performance, relative to peers, with respect to ESG factors provided by independent ESG research vendors. The sub-adviser then determines which ESG factors may be material to a company’s future financial performance. This involves an evaluation of how the company integrates particular ESG risks and opportunities into its corporate strategy through, for example, improving governance practices, aligning management team incentives, and increasing transparency into its ESG practices. A potential investment candidate for the Fund will generally exhibit sustainable practices, as determined by the sub-adviser, across the following ESG factors: </div>·Environmental - impact on or from climate change, natural resource use and waste management practices;·Social - human capital management, product safety, supply chain management; and·Governance - corporate governance, business ethics and advocacy for governmental policy.<div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">The ESG factor evaluation involves the identification of key performance indicators, which are given more or less relative weight compared to the broader range of potential assessment categories. Concerns in one area do not automatically eliminate a company from being an eligible portfolio investment. When ESG concerns exist, the sub-adviser gives careful consideration to how companies address the risks and opportunities they face in the context of their sector or industry and relative to their peers. The sub-adviser may engage with companies to encourage them to improve their ESG practices. The sub-adviser’s activities in this respect may include, but are not limited to, direct dialogue with company management, electronic communications and letters. The Fund may invest in companies whose ESG practices are currently suboptimal, </div><div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">with the expectation that these practices may improve over time either as a result of sub-adviser’s engagement efforts or through the company’s own initiatives.</div><div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">ESG factors are evaluated by the sub-adviser based on data provided by independent ESG research vendors, and the sub-adviser favors companies with leadership in ESG factor performance relative to their peers. As the final step in the investment process, the sub-adviser determines which companies with potential for above-average future earnings growth fit its portfolio construction parameters in light of the companies’ valuations and relative ESG factor performance.</div><div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">The Fund will not invest in companies that the sub-adviser determines are involved in the following activities:</div>·manufacturing of nuclear weapons, cluster munitions, land mines, incendiary devices, biological or chemical weapons, or depleted uranium munitions;·civilian firearms manufacturing;·tobacco products manufacturing; or·thermal coal mining or production if it accounts for more than 30% of a company’s gross revenues.<div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">Investing on the basis of ESG factor evaluation is generally qualitative and subjective by nature. Not every Fund investment will meet ESG performance indicators, or will do so at all times, and there can be no assurance that the ESG factor evaluation or any judgment exercised by the sub-adviser will reflect the beliefs or values of any particular investor. Furthermore, ESG factors are not uniformly defined, and the sub-adviser’s ESG factor evaluation may differ from those used by other funds.</div><div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">The sub-adviser’s sell discipline utilizes the same fundamental research process in order to control risk and protect capital. Under normal market conditions, the sub-adviser employs a sell discipline pursuant to which it may sell some or all of its position in a stock when a stock becomes fully valued, the fundamental business prospects are deteriorating, the issuer’s ESG factor performance declines, or the position exceeds limits set by the sub-adviser.</div> Principal Risks The value of your investment in this Fund will change daily. You could lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. <div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none">Active Management Risk</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">—The Fund’s sub-adviser actively manages the Fund’s investments. Consequently, the Fund is subject to the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses employed by the Fund’s sub-adviser may not produce the desired results. This could cause the Fund to lose value or its investment results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.</span></div> <div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none">Currency Risk</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">—Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of non-U.S. securities, the value of dividends and interest earned from such securities, and gains and losses realized on the sale of such securities.

Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events affecting the Fund, its service providers or the issuers of securities held by the Fund may adversely impact the Fund or its shareholders. Additionally, a cybersecurity breach could affect the issuers in which the Fund invests, which may cause the Fund’s investments to lose value.</span></div> <div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none">Equity Security Risk</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">—Equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio may decline significantly in price over short or extended periods of time, and such declines may occur because of declines in the equity market as a whole, or because of declines in only a particular country, company, industry, or sector of the market. From time to time, the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in companies in one or more related sectors or industries which would make the Fund more vulnerable to adverse developments affecting such sectors or industries.</span></div> <div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none">ESG Strategy Risk</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">—Because the Fund’s ESG investment strategy will exclude securities of certain issuers for non-financial reasons (</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:italic;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">i.e.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">, companies that do not demonstrate sustainable ESG characteristics or are involved in certain </span></div><div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;">prohibited activities), the Fund may forgo some market opportunities available to funds that do not use an ESG investment strategy or may be required to sell a security when it might otherwise be disadvantageous to do so. This may cause the Fund to underperform the stock market as a whole or other funds that do not use an ESG investment strategy. Moreover, the Fund’s adherence to its ESG investment strategy when selecting securities may affect the Fund’s performance depending on whether such investments are in or out of favor. In addition, there is a risk that the companies identified by the Fund’s ESG investment strategy do not operate as expected when addressing ESG issues or exhibit positive ESG characteristics. Furthermore, data availability and reporting with respect to ESG criteria may not always be available or may become unreliable and the sub-adviser does not guaranty the accuracy of such data. ESG data may be incomplete or erroneous, which could cause the sub-adviser to incorrectly assess a company’s ESG characteristics. Additionally, the sub-adviser may not apply the relevant ESG criteria correctly causing it to inaccurately assess a company’s ESG characteristics. Moreover, the third-party data providers may differ in the data they provide for a given security or between industries, or may only take into account one of many ESG-related components of a company.</div> <div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none">Foreign Investment Risk</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">—Non-U.S. issuers or U.S. issuers with significant non-U.S. operations may be subject to risks in addition to those of issuers located in or that principally operate in the United States as a result of, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as armed conflicts and different legal, regulatory and tax environments. Foreign investments may also have lower liquidity and be more difficult to value than investments in U.S. issuers. To the extent the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies in a single country or region, it may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory events or conditions affecting that country or region. Foreign investments may also be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information, less stringent investor protections and less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards. </span></div> <div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none">Growth Stock Risk</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">—Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than certain other types of stocks and their prices usually fluctuate more dramatically than the overall stock market.

Events such as war, terrorism, natural and environmental disasters and the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health emergencies may have a severe negative impact on the global economy, could cause financial markets to experience extreme volatility and losses, and could result in the disruption of trading and the reduction of liquidity in many instruments.
