Bank
Obligations. The activities of U.S. and
most foreign banks are subject to comprehensive regulations. The enactment of new legislation
or regulations, as well as changes in interpretation and enforcement of current laws, may affect the manner of operations
and profitability of domestic and foreign banks. In addition, banks may be particularly susceptible to certain economic factors.

Commercial
Paper. Commercial paper is subject to
interest rate risk and is susceptible to changes in the issuer’s financial condition or
credit quality. Commercial paper is typically repaid with the proceeds from the issuance of new commercial paper. Thus,
|
|
|
investments
in commercial paper are subject to the risk (commonly referred to as rollover risk) that the issuer will be unable to issue
sufficient new commercial paper to meet the repayment obligations under its outstanding commercial paper. Because commercial
paper is typically unsecured, investments in commercial paper are subject to increased credit risk. |

Asset-Backed
Securities. Asset-backed securities are
subject to credit (such as a borrower’s default on its mortgage obligation and the
default or failure of a guarantee underlying the asset-backed security), interest rate and certain additional risks, including the risk
that various federal and state consumer laws and other legal and economic factors may result in the collateral backing the securities
being insufficient to support payment on the securities. Some asset-backed securities also entail prepayment risk and extension
risk, which may vary depending on the type of asset. Due to these risks, asset-backed securities may become more volatile
in certain interest rate environments. |

Foreign
Securities. The Fund may invest in U.S.
dollar-denominated securities issued by foreign governmental or corporate issuers. Investing
in securities of foreign issuers involves some additional risks than securities of U.S. issuers. While foreign securities, including
foreign money market securities, are subject to the same type of risks that pertain to domestic issuers, namely credit risk and
interest rate risk, they are also subject to other additional risks. Foreign issuers generally are subject to different accounting, auditing
and financial reporting standards than U.S. issuers. There may be less information available to the public about foreign issuers.
In some foreign countries, there is also the risk of government expropriation, excessive taxation, political or social instability,
economic sanctions or other similar governmental activity or diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military
or other conflicts) that could affect an investment. There also can be difficulty obtaining and enforcing judgments against
issuers in foreign countries. Governmental
interventions or other actions can have a significant effect on the economic conditions in
foreign countries, which also may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers. |

Municipal
Obligations. To the extent the Fund invests
in municipal obligations issued by state and local governments and their agencies,
the Fund may be susceptible to political, economic, regulatory or other factors affecting issuers of these municipal obligations.
To the extent that the Fund invests in municipal obligations of issuers in the same economic sector, it could be more sensitive
to economic, business or political developments that affect such sector. During certain economic and other conditions, the
financial resources of many issuers of municipal securities may be significantly stressed, which could impair any such issuer’s
ability to meet its financial obligations
when due and adversely impact the value of its securities held by the Fund. While
interest earned on municipal securities is
generally not subject to federal income tax, any interest earned on taxable municipal securities is fully
taxable at the federal level and may be subject to state and/or local income tax. |

Floating
NAV Risk. The Fund does not maintain
a stable NAV per share. The value of the Fund’s shares will be calculated to four decimal
places and will fluctuate with changes in the values of the Fund’s portfolio securities. When you sell your shares, they may be
worth more or less than what you originally paid for them. This may result in a capital gain or loss. |

Discretionary
Liquidity Fee Risk. The Board, or its
delegate, has discretion to impose a liquidity fee of up to 2% upon the redemption
of shares if the Board or its delegate determines that is in the best interest of the Fund, which may impact the value of the
Fund’s shares when you sell your shares. |

Mandatory
Liquidity Fee Risk. The Board, or its
delegate, must impose a mandatory liquidity fee upon all shares redeemed if the Fund’s
net redemptions on any business day exceed 5% of the Fund’s net assets, unless the liquidity costs are de minimis. Accordingly,
redemptions by shareholders may be subject to a mandatory liquidity fee at certain times, which may impact the value
of the Fund’s shares when you sell your shares. |

Repurchase
Agreements. Repurchase agreements are
subject to risks associated with the possibility of default by the seller at a time when
the collateral has declined in value, or insolvency of the seller, which may affect the Fund’s right to control the collateral
and result in certain costs and delays. Repurchase
agreements may involve a greater degree of credit risk than investments in U.S. government
securities. |

|

Credit
and Interest Rate Risk. Credit risk refers
to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction,
will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal
on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In
the case of revenue bonds, notes or commercial
paper, for example, the credit risk is the possibility that the user fees from a project or other specified revenue sources are
insufficient to meet interest and/or principal payment obligations.
In such instances, the value of the Fund could decline and the
Fund could lose money. If an issuer’s, guarantor’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens, the credit quality
of the issuer, guarantor or counterparty
may deteriorate. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of financial condition, liquidity
or credit risk. Although credit ratings may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in the credit
rating of an instrument or an issuer, guarantor or counterparty, or the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of an instrument
or issuer, guarantor or counterparty can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s value and liquidity and make it
more difficult for the Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Interest rate risk refers to the decline in the value of a fixed-income
security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. A wide variety of market and economic factors can cause
interest rates to rise or fall, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation, disinflation or deflation, and changes in general
economic conditions. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities go down. When
the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up but the yield or income from new
issuances of fixed-income securities generally decreases. Securities with longer durations will generally be more sensitive to changes
in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of and income
generated by fixed-income instruments held by the Fund. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate loans and other
variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate
instruments, the value of variable and floating rate loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly,
or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk in times of monetary policy
change and/or uncertainty, such as when the Federal Reserve Board adjusts a quantitative easing program and/or changes rates.
Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may detract from Fund performance. A changing interest
rate environment increases certain risks, including the potential for periods of market volatility and increased redemptions.

Fixed-Income
Securities. Fixed-income securities are
subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments
on its obligations (i.e., credit risk) and are subject to price volatility resulting from, among other things, interest rate sensitivity
(i.e., interest rate risk), market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (i.e., market risk).
Securities with longer durations are likely to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, generally making them more volatile
than securities with shorter durations. The Fund may be subject to certain liquidity risks that may result from the lack of an
active market and the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed-income securities.

U.S.
Government Securities. Different types
of U.S. government securities are subject to different levels of credit risk, including the risk
of default, depending on the nature of the particular government support for that security. For example, a U.S. government-sponsored
entity, such as Federal National Mortgage Association or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, although chartered
or sponsored by an Act of Congress, may issue securities that are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and,
therefore, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. With respect to U.S. government securities that are not
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, there is the risk that the U.S. government will not provide financial support
to such U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. U.S. government
securities are also subject to interest rate risks and can exhibit price fluctuations resulting from increases or decreases in
interest rates. |

|

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which change
due to economic and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those that affect or are perceived
or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset classes or governments. These
types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or income generated by) and liquidity of
the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities and/or its ability to meet redemptions.
The risks associated with these developments
may be magnified if certain social, political, economic and other conditions and events
(such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics, terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest
rate changes and supply chain disruptions) adversely interrupt or otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets.
It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that
such events may have and the duration of those effects (which may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively
impact broad segments of businesses and populations and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance
or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price and 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. |

Large
Transactions Risk.
The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, or a number of shareholders collectively,
purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly. Such larger than |
|
|
normal
shareholder redemptions may adversely affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price and negatively impact the
Fund’s liquidity. In some circumstances, the Fund may hold a relatively large proportion of its assets in cash in anticipation
of large redemptions.
These large redemptions may also force the Fund to sell portfolio securities or other assets when it might not otherwise
do so, which may adversely affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s transaction
costs. In addition, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund
is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. Finally, large redemptions
may cause the Fund to impose a discretionary liquidity fee. |

may determine to use some permitted trading strategies while not using others. The success or failure of such decisions will
affect the Fund’s performance. |

Large
Transactions Risk. The Fund may experience
adverse effects when certain large shareholders, or a number of shareholders collectively,
purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly. Such larger than normal
shareholder redemptions may adversely
affect the Fund’s ability to maintain
a stable $1.00 share price and negatively impact
the Fund’s liquidity. In some circumstances, the Fund may hold a relatively large proportion of its assets in cash in anticipation
of large redemptions. These large redemptions may also force the Fund to sell portfolio securities or other assets when it
might not otherwise do so, which may adversely
affect the Fund’s ability to maintain
a stable $1.00 share price and increase the Fund’s
transaction costs. In addition, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that
the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Credit
and Interest Rate Risk. Credit risk refers
to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction,
will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal
on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In such instances, the value of the Fund could
decline and the Fund could lose money. If an issuer’s, guarantor’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens,
the credit quality of the issuer, guarantor
or counterparty may deteriorate. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of financial condition,
liquidity or credit risk. Although credit ratings may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in
the credit rating of an instrument or an issuer, guarantor or counterparty, or the market’s perception of the creditworthiness
of an instrument or issuer, guarantor or
counterparty can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s value and liquidity and make
it more difficult for the Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Interest rate risk refers to the decline in the value of a fixed-income
security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. A wide variety of market and economic factors can
cause interest rates to rise or fall, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation, disinflation or deflation, and changes
in general economic conditions. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities
go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up but the yield
or income from new issuances of fixed-income securities generally decreases. Securities with longer durations will generally be
more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the
liquidity of and income generated by fixed-income instruments held by the Fund. The Fund may face a heightened level of
interest rate risk in times of monetary policy
change and/or uncertainty, such as when the Federal Reserve Board adjusts a quantitative
easing program and/or changes rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may detract
from Fund performance. A changing interest rate environment increases certain risks, including the potential for periods of market
volatility and increased redemptions. |

Fixed-Income
Securities. Fixed-income securities are
subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments
on its obligations (i.e., credit risk) and are subject to price volatility resulting from, among other things, interest rate sensitivity
(i.e., interest rate risk), market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (i.e., market risk).
Securities with longer durations are likely to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, generally making them more volatile
than securities with shorter durations. The Fund may be subject to certain liquidity risks that may result from the lack of an
active market and the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed-income securities.

U.S. Treasury obligations, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, have historically
involved minimal risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value
of such securities may vary during the period shareholders own shares of the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Treasury are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States but are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest

and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that could prevent the timely payment of interest or principal, such as
reaching the legislative “debt ceiling.” Such non-payment could result in losses to and redemptions from the Fund.

Credit
and Interest Rate Risk. Credit risk refers
to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction,
will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal
on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In such instances, the value of the Fund could
decline and the Fund could lose money. If an issuer’s, guarantor’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens,
the credit quality of the issuer, guarantor
or counterparty may deteriorate. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of financial condition,
liquidity or credit risk. Although credit ratings may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in
the credit rating of an instrument or an issuer, guarantor or counterparty, or the market’s perception of the creditworthiness
of an instrument or issuer, guarantor or
counterparty can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s value and liquidity and make
it more difficult for the Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Interest rate risk refers to the decline in the value of a fixed-income
security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. A wide variety of market and economic factors can
cause interest rates to rise or fall, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation, disinflation or deflation, and changes
in general economic conditions. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities
go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up but the yield
or income from new issuances of fixed-income securities generally decreases. Securities with longer durations will generally be
more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the
liquidity of and income generated by fixed-income instruments held by the Fund. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest
rate risk in times of monetary policy change and/or uncertainty, such as when the Federal Reserve Board adjusts a quantitative
easing program and/or changes rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may detract
from Fund performance. A changing interest rate environment increases certain risks, including the potential for periods of market
volatility and increased redemptions. |

Fixed-Income
Securities. Fixed-income securities are
subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments
on its obligations (i.e., credit risk) and are subject to price volatility resulting from, among other things, interest rate sensitivity

Securities with longer durations are likely to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, generally making them more volatile

U.S. Treasury obligations, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, have historically
involved minimal risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value
of such securities may vary during the period shareholders own shares of the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Treasury are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States but are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest

reaching the legislative “debt ceiling.” Such non-payment could result in losses to and redemptions from the Fund.

These
types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or income generated by) and liquidity of

It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that
such events may have and the duration of those effects (which may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively

Credit
and Interest Rate Risk. Credit risk refers
to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction,
will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal
on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In
the case of revenue bonds, notes or commercial
paper, for example, the credit risk is the possibility that the user fees from a project or other specified revenue sources are
insufficient to meet interest and/or principal payment obligations.
In such instances, the value of the Fund could decline and the
Fund could lose money. If an issuer’s, guarantor’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens, the credit quality
of the issuer, guarantor or counterparty
may deteriorate. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of financial condition, liquidity
or credit risk. Although credit ratings may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in the credit
rating of an instrument or an issuer, guarantor or counterparty, or the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of an instrument
or issuer, guarantor or counterparty can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s value and liquidity and make it
more difficult for the Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Interest rate risk refers to the decline in the value of a fixed-income
security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. A wide variety of market and economic factors can cause
interest rates to rise or fall, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation, disinflation or deflation, and changes in general
economic conditions. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities go down. When
the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up but the yield or income from new
issuances of fixed-income securities generally decreases. Securities with longer durations will generally be more sensitive to changes
in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of and income
generated by fixed-income instruments held by the Fund. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate loans and other
variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate
instruments, the value of variable and floating rate loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly,
or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk in times of monetary policy
change and/or uncertainty, such as when the Federal Reserve Board adjusts a quantitative easing program and/or changes rates.
Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may detract from Fund performance. A changing interest
rate environment increases certain risks, including the potential for periods of market volatility and increased redemptions.

U.S.
Government Securities. Different types
of U.S. government securities are subject to different levels of credit risk, including the risk
of default, depending on the nature of the particular government support for that security. For example, a U.S. government-sponsored
entity, such as Federal National Mortgage Association or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, although chartered
or sponsored by an Act of Congress, may issue securities that are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and,
therefore, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. With respect to U.S. government securities that are not
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, there is the risk that the U.S. government will not provide financial support
to such U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. U.S. government
securities are also subject to interest rate risks and can exhibit price fluctuations resulting from increases or decreases in
interest rates. |

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which change
due to economic and other events that affect the
U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those that affect or are perceived
or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset classes or governments. These
types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or income generated by) and liquidity of
the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities and/or its ability to meet redemptions.
The risks associated with these developments
may be magnified if certain social, political, economic and other conditions and events
(such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics, terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest
rate changes and supply chain disruptions) adversely interrupt or otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets.
It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that
such events may have and the duration of those effects (which may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively
impact broad segments of businesses and populations and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance
or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely affect and increase
the volatility of the Fund’s share price and 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. |

Large
Transactions Risk.
The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, or a number of shareholders collectively,
purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly. Such larger than normal
shareholder redemptions may adversely affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price and negatively impact the
Fund’s liquidity. In some circumstances, the Fund may hold a relatively large proportion of its assets in cash in anticipation
of large redemptions.
These large redemptions may also force the Fund to sell portfolio securities or other assets when it might not otherwise
do so, which may adversely affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s transaction
costs. In addition, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund
is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. Finally, large redemptions
may cause the Fund to impose a discretionary liquidity fee. |

Credit
and Interest Rate Risk. Credit risk refers
to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction,
will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal
on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In such instances, the value of the Fund could
decline and the Fund could lose money. If an issuer’s, guarantor’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens,
the credit quality of the issuer, guarantor
or counterparty may deteriorate. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of financial condition,
liquidity or credit risk. Although credit ratings may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in
the credit rating of an instrument or an issuer, guarantor or counterparty, or the market’s perception of the creditworthiness
of an instrument or issuer, guarantor or
counterparty can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s value and liquidity and make
it more difficult for the Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Interest rate risk refers to the decline in the value of a fixed-income
security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. A wide variety of market and economic factors can
cause interest rates to rise or fall, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation, disinflation or deflation, and changes
in general economic conditions. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities
go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up but the yield
or income from new issuances of fixed-income securities generally decreases. Securities with longer durations will generally be
more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the
liquidity of and income generated by fixed-income instruments held by the Fund. The Fund may face a heightened level of
interest rate risk in times of monetary policy
change and/or uncertainty, such as when the Federal Reserve Board adjusts a quantitative
easing program and/or changes rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may detract
from Fund performance. A changing interest rate environment increases certain risks, including the potential for periods of market
volatility and increased redemptions. |

Treasury Obligations.
U.S. Treasury obligations, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, have historically
involved minimal risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value
of such securities may vary during the period shareholders own shares of the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Treasury are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States but are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest

and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that could prevent the timely payment of interest or principal, such as
reaching the legislative “debt ceiling.” Such non-payment could result in losses to and redemptions from the Fund.

Credit
and Interest Rate Risk. Credit risk refers
to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction,
will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal
on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In such instances, the value of the Fund could
decline and the Fund could lose money. If an issuer’s, guarantor’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens,
the credit quality of the issuer, guarantor
or counterparty may deteriorate. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of financial condition,
liquidity or credit risk. Although credit ratings may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in
the credit rating of an instrument or an issuer, guarantor or counterparty, or the market’s perception of the creditworthiness
of an instrument or issuer, guarantor or
counterparty can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s value and liquidity and make
it more difficult for the Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Interest rate risk refers to the decline in the value of a fixed-income
security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. A wide variety of market and economic factors can
cause interest rates to rise or fall, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation, disinflation or deflation, and changes
in general economic conditions. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities
go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up but the yield
or income from new issuances of fixed-income securities generally decreases. Securities with longer durations will generally be
more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the
liquidity of and income generated by fixed-income instruments held by the Fund. The Fund may face a heightened level of
interest rate risk in times of monetary policy
change and/or uncertainty, such as when the Federal Reserve Board adjusts a quantitative
easing program and/or changes rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may detract
from Fund performance. A changing interest rate environment increases certain risks, including the potential for periods of market
volatility and increased redemptions. |

Fixed-Income
Securities. Fixed-income securities are
subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments
on its obligations (i.e., credit risk) and are subject to price volatility resulting from, among other things, interest rate sensitivity
(i.e., interest rate risk), market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (i.e., market risk).
Securities with longer durations are likely to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, generally making them more volatile
than securities with shorter durations. The Fund may be subject to certain liquidity risks that may result from the lack of an
active market and the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed-income securities.

U.S.
Treasury Obligations.
U.S. Treasury obligations, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, have historically
involved minimal risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value
of such securities may vary during the period shareholders own shares of the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Treasury are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States but are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest
and principal when held to maturity. In addition, notwithstanding that U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the full faith
and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that could prevent the timely payment of interest or principal, such as
reaching the legislative “debt ceiling.” Such non-payment could result in losses to and redemptions from the Fund.

Foreign
Securities. The Fund may invest in U.S.
dollar-denominated securities issued by foreign governmental or corporate issuers. Investing
in securities of foreign issuers involves some additional risks than securities of U.S. issuers. While foreign securities, including
foreign money market securities, are subject to the same type of risks that pertain to domestic issuers, namely credit risk and
interest rate risk, they are also subject to other additional risks. Foreign issuers generally are subject to different accounting, auditing
and financial reporting standards than U.S. issuers. There may be less information available to the public about foreign issuers.
In some foreign countries, there is also the risk of government expropriation, excessive taxation, political or social instability,
economic sanctions or other similar governmental activity or diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military
or other conflicts) that could affect an investment. There also can be difficulty obtaining and enforcing judgments against
issuers in foreign countries. Governmental
interventions or other actions can have a significant effect on the economic conditions in

Fixed-Income
Securities. Fixed-income securities are
subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments
on its obligations (i.e., credit risk) and are subject to price volatility resulting from, among other things, interest rate sensitivity
(i.e., interest rate risk), market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (i.e., market risk).
Securities with longer durations are likely to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, generally making them more volatile
than securities with shorter durations. The Fund may be subject to certain liquidity risks that may result from the lack of an
active market and the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed-income securities.

U.S.
Government Securities.
Different types of U.S. government securities are subject to different levels of credit risk, including the risk
of default, depending on the nature of the particular government support for that security. For example, a U.S. government-sponsored
entity, such as Federal National Mortgage Association or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, although chartered
or sponsored by an Act of Congress, may issue securities that are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and,
therefore, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. With respect to U.S. government securities that are not
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, there is the risk that the U.S. government will not provide financial support
to such U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. U.S. government
securities are also subject to interest rate risks and can exhibit price fluctuations resulting from increases or decreases in
interest rates. |

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which change
due to economic and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those that affect or are perceived
or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset classes or governments. These
types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or income generated by) and liquidity of
the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities and/or its ability to meet redemptions.
|
|
|
The
risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social, political, economic and other conditions and events
(such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics, terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest
rate changes and supply chain disruptions) adversely interrupt or otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets.
It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that
such events may have and the duration of those effects (which may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively
impact broad segments of businesses and populations and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance
or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely affect the
Fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price
and 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. |

Large
Transactions Risk.
The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, or a number of shareholders collectively,
purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly. Such larger than normal
shareholder redemptions may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price and negatively impact
the Fund’s liquidity. In some circumstances, the Fund may hold a relatively large proportion of its assets in cash in anticipation
of large redemptions. These large redemptions may also force the Fund to sell portfolio securities or other assets when it
might not otherwise do so, which may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price and increase the
Fund’s transaction
costs. In addition, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that
the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. |

Credit
and Interest Rate Risk. Credit risk refers
to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction,
will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal
on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In such instances, the value of the Fund could
decline and the Fund could lose money. If an issuer’s, guarantor’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens,
the credit quality of the issuer, guarantor
or counterparty may deteriorate. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of financial condition,
liquidity or credit risk. Although credit ratings may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in
the credit rating of an instrument or an issuer, guarantor or counterparty, or the market’s perception of the creditworthiness
of an instrument or issuer, guarantor or
counterparty can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s value and liquidity and make
it more difficult for the Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Interest rate risk refers to the decline in the value of a fixed-income
security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. A wide variety of market and economic factors can
cause interest rates to rise or fall, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation, disinflation or deflation, and changes
in general economic conditions. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities
go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up but the yield
or income from new issuances of fixed-income securities generally decreases. Securities with longer durations will generally be
more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the
liquidity of and income generated by fixed-income instruments held by the Fund. The Fund may face a heightened level of
interest rate risk in times of monetary policy
change and/or uncertainty, such as when the Federal Reserve Board adjusts a quantitative
easing program and/or changes rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may detract
from Fund performance. A changing interest rate environment increases certain risks, including the potential for periods of market
volatility and increased redemptions. |

Large
Transactions Risk.
The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, or a number of shareholders collectively,
purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly. Such larger than normal
shareholder redemptions may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price and negatively impact
the Fund’s liquidity. In some circumstances, the Fund may hold a relatively large proportion of its assets in cash in anticipation
of large redemptions. These large redemptions may also force the Fund to sell portfolio securities or other assets when it
might not otherwise do so, which may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price and increase the
Fund’s transaction
costs. In addition, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that
the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. |

Foreign
Securities. The Fund may invest in U.S.
dollar-denominated securities issued by foreign governmental or corporate issuers. Investing
in securities of foreign issuers involves some additional risks than securities of U.S. issuers. While foreign securities, including
foreign money market securities, are subject to the same type of risks that pertain to domestic issuers, namely credit risk and
interest rate risk, they are also subject to other additional risks. Foreign issuers generally are subject to different accounting, auditing
and financial reporting standards than U.S. issuers. There may be less information available to the public about foreign issuers.
In some foreign countries, there is also the risk of government expropriation, excessive taxation, political or social instability,
economic sanctions or other similar governmental activity or diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military
or other conflicts) that could affect an investment. There also can be difficulty obtaining and enforcing judgments against
issuers in foreign countries. Governmental
interventions or other actions can have a significant effect on the economic conditions in
foreign countries, which also may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers. |

Municipal
Obligations. To the extent the Fund invests

the Fund may be susceptible to political, economic, regulatory or other factors affecting issuers of these municipal obligations.
To the extent that the Fund invests in municipal obligations of issuers in the same economic sector, it could be more sensitive
to economic, business or political developments that affect such sector. During certain economic and other conditions, the
financial resources of many issuers of municipal securities may be significantly stressed, which could impair any such issuer’s
ability to meet its financial obligations
when due and adversely impact the value of its securities held by the Fund. While interest earned
on municipal securities is generally not subject to federal income tax, any interest earned on taxable municipal securities is fully
taxable at the federal level and may be subject to state and/or local income tax. |

Credit
and Interest Rate Risk. Credit risk refers
to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction,
will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal
on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In
the case of revenue bonds, notes or commercial
paper, for example, the credit risk is the possibility that the user fees from a project or other specified revenue sources are
insufficient to meet interest and/or principal payment obligations.
In such instances, the value of the Fund could decline and the
Fund could lose money. If an issuer’s, guarantor’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens, the credit quality
of the issuer, guarantor or counterparty
may deteriorate. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of financial condition, liquidity
or credit risk. Although credit ratings may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in the credit
rating of an instrument or an issuer, guarantor or counterparty, or the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of an instrument
or issuer, guarantor or counterparty can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s value and liquidity and make it
more difficult for the Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Interest rate risk refers to the decline in the value of a fixed-income
security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. A wide variety of market and economic factors can cause
interest rates to rise or fall, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation, disinflation or deflation, and changes in general
economic conditions. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities go down. When
the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up but the yield or income from new
issuances of fixed-income securities generally decreases. Securities with longer durations will generally be more sensitive to changes
in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of and income
generated by fixed-income instruments held by the Fund. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate loans and other
variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate
instruments, the value of variable and floating rate loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly,
or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk in times of monetary policy
change and/or uncertainty, such as when the Federal Reserve Board adjusts a quantitative easing program and/or changes rates.
Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may detract from Fund performance. A changing interest
rate environment increases certain risks, including the potential for periods of market volatility and increased redemptions.

Fixed-Income
Securities. Fixed-income securities are
subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments
on its obligations (i.e., credit risk) and are subject to price volatility resulting from, among other things, interest rate sensitivity
(i.e., interest rate risk), market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (i.e., market risk).
Securities with longer durations are likely to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, generally making them more volatile
than securities with shorter durations. The Fund may be subject to certain liquidity risks that may result from the lack of an
active market and the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed-income securities.

U.S.
Government Securities.
Different types of U.S. government securities are subject to different levels of credit risk, including the risk
of default, depending on the nature of the particular government support for that security. For example, a U.S. government-sponsored
entity, such as Federal National Mortgage Association or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, although chartered
or sponsored by an Act of Congress, may issue securities that are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and,
therefore, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. With respect to U.S. government securities that are not
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, there is the risk that the U.S. government will not provide financial support
to such U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. U.S. government
securities are also subject to interest rate risks and can exhibit price fluctuations resulting from increases or decreases in
interest rates. |

volatility and increased redemptions. |

Fixed-Income
Securities. Fixed-income securities are
subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments
on its obligations (i.e., credit risk) and are subject to price volatility resulting from, among other things, interest rate sensitivity
(i.e., interest rate risk), market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (i.e., market risk).
Securities with longer durations are likely to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, generally making them more volatile
than securities with shorter durations. The Fund may be subject to certain liquidity risks that may result from the lack of an
active market and the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed-income securities.

U.S.
Government Securities.
Different types of U.S. government securities are subject to different levels of credit risk, including the risk
of default, depending on the nature of the particular government support for that security. For example, a U.S. government-sponsored
entity, such as Federal National Mortgage Association or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, although chartered
or sponsored by an Act of Congress, may issue securities that are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and,
therefore, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. With respect to U.S. government securities that are not
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, there is the risk that the U.S. government will not provide financial support
to such U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. U.S. government
securities are also subject to interest rate risks and can exhibit price fluctuations resulting from increases or decreases in
interest rates. |

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which change
due to economic and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those that affect or are perceived
or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset classes or governments. These
types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or income generated by) and liquidity of
the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities and/or its ability to meet redemptions.

The
risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social, political, economic and other conditions and events
(such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics, terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest
rate changes and supply chain disruptions) adversely interrupt or otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets.
It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that
such events may have and the duration of those effects (which may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively
impact broad segments of businesses and populations and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance
or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely affect the

Large
Transactions Risk.
The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, or a number of shareholders collectively,
purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly. Such larger than normal
shareholder redemptions may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price and negatively impact
the Fund’s liquidity. In some circumstances, the Fund may hold a relatively large proportion of its assets in cash in anticipation
of large redemptions. These large redemptions may also force the Fund to sell portfolio securities or other assets when it
might not otherwise do so, which may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price and increase the
Fund’s transaction
costs. In addition, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that
the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. |

Credit
and Interest Rate Risk. Credit risk refers
to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction,
will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal
on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In such instances, the value of the Fund could
decline and the Fund could lose money. If an issuer’s, guarantor’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens,
the credit quality of the issuer, guarantor
or counterparty may deteriorate. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of financial condition,
liquidity or credit risk. Although credit ratings may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in
the credit rating of an instrument or an issuer, guarantor or counterparty, or the market’s perception of the creditworthiness
of an instrument or issuer, guarantor or
counterparty can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s value and liquidity and make
it more difficult for the Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Interest rate risk refers to the decline in the value of a fixed-income
security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. A wide variety of market and economic factors can
cause interest rates to rise or fall, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation, disinflation or deflation, and changes

Securities. The Fund may invest in U.S.

In some foreign countries, there is also the risk of government expropriation, excessive taxation, political or social instability,
economic sanctions or other similar governmental activity or diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military
or other conflicts) that could affect an investment. There also can be difficulty obtaining and enforcing judgments against
issuers in foreign countries. Governmental

Credit
and Interest Rate Risk. Credit risk refers
to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction,
will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal
on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In
the case of revenue bonds, notes or commercial
paper, for example, the credit risk is the possibility that the user fees from a project or other specified revenue sources are
insufficient to meet interest and/or principal payment obligations.
In such instances, the value of the Fund could decline and the
Fund could lose money. If an issuer’s, guarantor’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens, the credit quality
of the issuer, guarantor or counterparty
may deteriorate. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of financial condition, liquidity
or credit risk. Although credit ratings may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in the credit
rating of an instrument or an issuer, guarantor or counterparty, or the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of an instrument
or issuer, guarantor or counterparty can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s value and liquidity and make it
more difficult for the Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Interest rate risk refers to the decline in the value of a fixed-income
security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. A wide variety of market and economic factors can cause
interest rates to rise or fall, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation, disinflation or deflation, and changes in general
economic conditions. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities go down. When
the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up but the yield or income from new
issuances of fixed-income securities generally decreases. Securities with longer durations will generally be more sensitive to changes
in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of and income
generated by fixed-income instruments held by the Fund. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate loans and other
variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate
instruments, the value of variable and floating rate loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly,
or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk in times of monetary policy
change and/or uncertainty, such as when the Federal Reserve Board adjusts a quantitative easing program and/or changes rates.
Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may detract from Fund performance. A changing interest
rate environment increases certain risks, including the potential for periods of market volatility and increased redemptions.

Fixed-Income
Securities. Fixed-income securities are
subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments
on its obligations (i.e., credit risk) and are subject to price volatility resulting from, among other things, interest rate sensitivity
(i.e., interest rate risk), market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (i.e., market risk).
Securities with longer durations are likely to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, generally making them more volatile
than securities with shorter durations. The Fund may be subject to certain liquidity risks that may result from the lack of an
active market and the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed-income securities.

U.S.
Government Securities. Different types
of U.S. government securities are subject to different levels of credit risk, including the risk
of default, depending on the nature of the particular government support for that security. For example, a U.S. government-sponsored
entity, such as Federal National Mortgage Association or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, although chartered
or sponsored by an Act of Congress, may issue securities that are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and,
therefore, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. With respect to U.S. government securities that are not
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, there is the risk that the U.S. government will not provide financial support
to such U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. U.S. government
securities are also subject to interest rate risks and can exhibit price fluctuations resulting from increases or decreases in
interest rates. |

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which change
due to economic and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those that affect or are perceived
or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset classes or governments. These
types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or income generated by) and liquidity of
the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities and/or its ability to meet redemptions.
The risks associated with these developments
may be magnified if certain social, political, economic and other conditions and events
(such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics, terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest
rate changes and supply chain disruptions) adversely interrupt or otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets.
It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that
such events may have and the duration of those effects (which may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively
impact broad segments of businesses and populations and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance
or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price and 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. |

Large
Transactions Risk.
The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, or a number of shareholders collectively,
purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly. Such larger than normal
shareholder redemptions may adversely affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price and negatively impact the
Fund’s liquidity. In some circumstances, the Fund may hold a relatively large proportion of its assets in cash in anticipation
of large redemptions.
These large redemptions may also force the Fund to sell portfolio securities or other assets when it might not otherwise
do so, which may adversely affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s transaction
costs. In addition, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund
is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. Finally, large redemptions
may cause the Fund to impose a discretionary liquidity fee. |

Credit
and Interest Rate Risk. Credit risk refers
to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction,
will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal
on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In such instances, the value of the Fund could
decline and the Fund could lose money. If an issuer’s, guarantor’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens,
the credit quality of the issuer, guarantor
or counterparty may deteriorate. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of financial condition,
liquidity or credit risk. Although credit ratings may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in
the credit rating of an instrument or an issuer, guarantor or counterparty, or the market’s perception of the creditworthiness
of an instrument or issuer, guarantor or
counterparty can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s value and liquidity and make
it more difficult for the Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Interest rate risk refers to the decline in the value of a fixed-income
security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. A wide variety of market and economic factors can
cause interest rates to rise or fall, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation, disinflation or deflation, and changes
in general economic conditions. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities
go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up but the yield
or income from new issuances of fixed-income securities generally decreases. Securities with longer durations will generally be
more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the
liquidity of and income generated by fixed-income instruments held by the Fund. The
Fund may invest in variable and floating-rate
securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed-rate instruments, the
value of these securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates.
The Fund may face a heightened level of interest
rate risk in times of monetary policy change and/or uncertainty, such as when the Federal Reserve
Board adjusts a quantitative easing program and/or changes rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on
the markets and may detract from Fund performance. A changing interest rate environment increases certain risks, including the
potential for periods of market volatility and increased redemptions. |

Fixed-Income
Securities. Fixed-income securities are
subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments
on its obligations (i.e., credit risk) and are subject to price volatility resulting from, among other things, interest rate sensitivity
(i.e., interest rate risk), market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (i.e., market risk).
Securities with longer durations are likely to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, generally making them more volatile
than securities with shorter durations. The Fund may be subject to certain liquidity risks that may result from the lack of an
active market and the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed-income securities.

U.S.
Treasury Obligations.
U.S. Treasury obligations, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, have historically
involved minimal risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value
of such securities may vary during the period shareholders own shares of the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Treasury are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States but are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest
and principal when held to maturity. In addition, notwithstanding that U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the full faith
and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that could prevent the timely payment of interest or principal, such as
reaching the legislative “debt ceiling.” Such non-payment could result in losses to and redemptions from the Fund.

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which change
due to economic and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those that affect or are perceived
or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset classes or governments. These
types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or income generated by) and liquidity of
the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities and/or its ability to meet redemptions.
The risks associated with these developments
may be magnified if certain social, political, economic and other conditions and events
(such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics, terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest
rate changes and supply chain disruptions) adversely interrupt or otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets.
It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that
such events may have and the duration of those effects (which may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively
impact broad segments of businesses and populations and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance
or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely affect the
Fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price
and exacerbate pre-existing risks to the
Fund. The frequency and magnitude of resulting changes in the value of the Fund’s investments

Large
Transactions Risk. The Fund may experience

shareholder redemptions may adversely
affect the Fund’s ability to maintain
a stable $1.00 share price and negatively impact
the Fund’s liquidity. In some circumstances, the Fund may hold a relatively large proportion of its assets in cash in anticipation

might not otherwise do so, which may adversely
affect the Fund’s ability to maintain
a stable $1.00 share price and increase the Fund’s
transaction costs. In addition, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that
the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

In some foreign countries, there is also the risk of government expropriation, excessive taxation, political or social instability,
economic sanctions or other similar governmental activity or diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military
or other conflicts) that could affect an investment. There also can be difficulty obtaining and enforcing judgments against
issuers in foreign countries. Governmental

Credit
and Interest Rate Risk. Credit risk refers
to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction,
will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal
on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In
the case of revenue bonds, notes or commercial
paper, for example, the credit risk is the possibility that the user fees from a project or other specified revenue sources are
insufficient to meet interest and/or principal payment obligations.
In such instances, the value of the Fund could decline and the
Fund could lose money. If an issuer’s, guarantor’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens, the credit quality
of the issuer, guarantor or counterparty
may deteriorate. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of financial condition, liquidity
or credit risk. Although credit ratings may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in the credit
rating of an instrument or an issuer, guarantor or counterparty, or the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of an instrument
or issuer, guarantor or counterparty can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s value and liquidity and make it
more difficult for the Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Interest rate risk refers to the decline in the value of a fixed-income
security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. A wide variety of market and economic factors can cause
interest rates to rise or fall, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation, disinflation or deflation, and changes in general
economic conditions. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities go down. When
the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up but the yield or income from new
issuances of fixed-income securities generally decreases. Securities with longer durations will generally be more sensitive to changes
in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of and income
generated by fixed-income instruments held by the Fund. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate loans and other
variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate
instruments, the value of variable and floating rate loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly,
or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk in times of monetary policy
change and/or uncertainty, such as when the Federal Reserve Board adjusts a quantitative easing program and/or changes rates.
Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may detract from Fund performance. A changing interest
rate environment increases certain risks, including the potential for periods of market volatility and increased redemptions.

Government Securities. Different types
of U.S. government securities are subject to different levels of credit risk, including the risk

entity, such as Federal National Mortgage Association or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, although chartered

therefore, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. With respect to U.S. government securities that are not
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, there is the risk that the U.S. government will not provide financial support
to such U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. U.S. government

Large
Transactions Risk.
The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, or a number of shareholders collectively,
purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly. Such larger than normal
shareholder redemptions may adversely affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price and negatively impact the
Fund’s liquidity. In some circumstances, the Fund may hold a relatively large proportion of its assets in cash in anticipation
of large redemptions.
These large redemptions may also force the Fund to sell portfolio securities or other assets when it might not otherwise
do so, which may adversely affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s transaction
costs. In addition, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund
is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. Finally, large redemptions
may cause the Fund to impose a discretionary liquidity fee. |

Credit
and Interest Rate Risk. Credit risk refers
to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction,
will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal
on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In such instances, the value of the Fund could
decline and the Fund could lose money. If an issuer’s, guarantor’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens,
the credit quality of the issuer, guarantor
or counterparty may deteriorate. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of financial condition,
liquidity or credit risk. Although credit ratings may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in
the credit rating of an instrument or an issuer, guarantor or counterparty, or the market’s perception of the creditworthiness
of an instrument or issuer, guarantor or
counterparty can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s value and liquidity and make
it more difficult for the Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Interest rate risk refers to the decline in the value of a fixed-income
security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. A wide variety of market and economic factors can
cause interest rates to rise or fall, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation, disinflation or deflation, and changes
in general economic conditions. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities
go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up but the yield
or income from new issuances of fixed-income securities generally decreases. Securities with longer durations will generally be
more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the
liquidity of and income generated by fixed-income instruments held by the Fund. The Fund may face a heightened level of
interest rate risk in times of monetary policy
change and/or uncertainty, such as when the Federal Reserve Board adjusts a quantitative
easing program and/or changes rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may detract
from Fund performance. A changing interest rate environment increases certain risks, including the potential for periods of market
volatility and increased redemptions. |

Fixed-Income
Securities. Fixed-income securities are
subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments
on its obligations (i.e., credit risk) and are subject to price volatility resulting from, among other things, interest rate sensitivity
(i.e., interest rate risk), market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (i.e., market risk).
Securities with longer durations are likely to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, generally making them more volatile
than securities with shorter durations. The Fund may be subject to certain liquidity risks that may result from the lack of an
active market and the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed-income securities.

U.S.
Government Securities. Different types
of U.S. government securities are subject to different levels of credit risk, including the risk
of default, depending on the nature of the particular government support for that security. For example, a U.S. government-sponsored
entity, such as Federal National Mortgage Association or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, although chartered
or sponsored by an Act of Congress, may issue securities that are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and,
therefore, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. With respect to U.S. government securities that are not
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, there is the risk that the U.S. government will not provide financial support
to such U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. U.S. government
securities are also subject to interest rate risks and can exhibit price fluctuations resulting from increases or decreases in
interest rates. |

Treasury Obligations.
U.S. Treasury obligations, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, have historically
involved minimal risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value
of such securities may vary during the period shareholders own shares of the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Treasury are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States but are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest

and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that could prevent the timely payment of interest or principal, such as
reaching the legislative “debt ceiling.” Such non-payment could result in losses to and redemptions from the Fund.

Credit
and Interest Rate Risk. Credit risk refers
to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction,
will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal
on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In such instances, the value of the Fund could
decline and the Fund could lose money. If an issuer’s, guarantor’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens,
the credit quality of the issuer, guarantor
or counterparty may deteriorate. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of financial condition,
liquidity or credit risk. Although credit ratings may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in
the credit rating of an instrument or an issuer, guarantor or counterparty, or the market’s perception of the creditworthiness
of an instrument or issuer, guarantor or
counterparty can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s value and liquidity and make
it more difficult for the Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Interest rate risk refers to the decline in the value of a fixed-income
security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. A wide variety of market and economic factors can
cause interest rates to rise or fall, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation, disinflation or deflation, and changes
in general economic conditions. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities
go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up but the yield
or income from new issuances of fixed-income securities generally decreases. Securities with longer durations will generally be
more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the
liquidity of and income generated by fixed-income instruments held by the Fund. The Fund may face a heightened level of
interest rate risk in times of monetary policy
change and/or uncertainty, such as when the Federal Reserve Board adjusts a quantitative
easing program and/or changes rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may detract
from Fund performance. A changing interest rate environment increases certain risks, including the potential for periods of market
volatility and increased redemptions. |

Fixed-Income
Securities. Fixed-income securities are
subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments
on its obligations (i.e., credit risk) and are subject to price volatility resulting from, among other things, interest rate sensitivity
(i.e., interest rate risk), market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (i.e., market risk).
Securities with longer durations are likely to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, generally making them more volatile
than securities with shorter durations. The Fund may be subject to certain liquidity risks that may result from the lack of an
active market and the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed-income securities.

U.S.
Treasury Obligations.
U.S. Treasury obligations, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, have historically
involved minimal risk of loss of principal if held to maturity. However, due to fluctuations in interest rates, the market value
of such securities may vary during the period shareholders own shares of the Fund. Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
Treasury are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States but are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest
and principal when held to maturity. In addition, notwithstanding that U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the full faith
and credit of the United States, circumstances could arise that could prevent the timely payment of interest or principal, such as
reaching the legislative “debt ceiling.” Such non-payment could result in losses to and redemptions from the Fund.

Market

investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which change
due to economic and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those that affect or are perceived
or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset classes or governments. These
types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or income generated by) and liquidity of

Foreign
Securities. The Fund may invest in U.S.
dollar-denominated securities issued by foreign governmental or corporate issuers. Investing
in securities of foreign issuers involves some additional risks than securities of U.S. issuers. While foreign securities, including
foreign money market securities, are subject to the same type of risks that pertain to domestic issuers, namely credit risk and
interest rate risk, they are also subject to other additional risks. Foreign issuers generally are subject to different accounting, auditing
and financial reporting standards than U.S. issuers. There may be less information available to the public about foreign issuers.
In some foreign countries, there is also the risk of government expropriation, excessive taxation, political or social instability,
economic sanctions or other similar governmental activity or diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military
or other conflicts) that could affect an investment. There also can be difficulty obtaining and enforcing judgments against
issuers in foreign countries. Governmental
interventions or other actions can have a significant effect on the economic conditions in
foreign countries, which also may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers. |

to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction,
will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal
on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In
the case of revenue bonds, notes or commercial
paper, for example, the credit risk is the possibility that the user fees from a project or other specified revenue sources are
insufficient to meet interest and/or principal payment obligations.
In such instances, the value of the Fund could decline and the
Fund could lose money. If an issuer’s, guarantor’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens, the credit quality

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which change
due to economic and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those that affect or are perceived
or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset classes or governments. These
types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or income generated by) and liquidity of
the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities and/or its ability to meet redemptions.

The
risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social, political, economic and other conditions and events
(such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics, terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest
rate changes and supply chain disruptions) adversely interrupt or otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets.
It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that
such events may have and the duration of those effects (which may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively
impact broad segments of businesses and populations and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance
or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely affect the
Fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price
and 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. |

Large
Transactions Risk. The Fund may experience
adverse effects when certain large shareholders, or a number of shareholders collectively,
purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly. Such larger than normal
shareholder redemptions may adversely
affect the Fund’s ability to maintain
a stable $1.00 share price and negatively impact
the Fund’s liquidity. In some circumstances, the Fund may hold a relatively large proportion of its assets in cash in anticipation
of large redemptions. These large redemptions may also force the Fund to sell portfolio securities or other assets when it
might not otherwise do so, which may adversely
affect the Fund’s ability to maintain
a stable $1.00 share price and increase the Fund’s
transaction costs. In addition, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that
the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Credit
and Interest Rate Risk. Credit risk refers
to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction,
will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal
on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In such instances, the value of the Fund could
decline and the Fund could lose money. If an issuer’s, guarantor’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens,
the credit quality of the issuer, guarantor
or counterparty may deteriorate. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of financial condition,
liquidity or credit risk. Although credit ratings may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in
the credit rating of an instrument or an issuer, guarantor or counterparty, or the market’s perception of the creditworthiness
of an instrument or issuer, guarantor or
counterparty can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s value and liquidity and make
it more difficult for the Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Interest rate risk refers to the decline in the value of a fixed-income
security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. A wide variety of market and economic factors can
cause interest rates to rise or fall, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation, disinflation or deflation, and changes
in general economic conditions. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities
go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up but the yield
or income from new issuances of fixed-income securities generally decreases. Securities with longer durations will generally be
more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the
liquidity of and income generated by fixed-income instruments held by the Fund. The Fund may face a heightened level of
interest rate risk in times of monetary policy
change and/or uncertainty, such as when the Federal Reserve Board adjusts a quantitative
easing program and/or changes rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may detract
from Fund performance. A changing interest rate environment increases certain risks, including the potential for periods of market
volatility and increased redemptions. |

Fixed-Income
Securities. Fixed-income securities are
subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments
on its obligations (i.e., credit risk) and are subject to price volatility resulting from, among other things, interest rate sensitivity
(i.e., interest rate risk), market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (i.e., market risk).
Securities with longer durations are likely to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, generally making them more volatile
than securities with shorter durations. The Fund may be subject to certain liquidity risks that may result from the lack of an
active market and the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed-income securities.

U.S.
Government Securities.
Different types of U.S. government securities are subject to different levels of credit risk, including the risk
of default, depending on the nature of the particular government support for that security. For example, a U.S. government-sponsored
entity, such as Federal National Mortgage Association or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, although chartered
or sponsored by an Act of Congress, may issue securities that are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and,
therefore, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. With respect to U.S. government securities that are not
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, there is the risk that the U.S. government will not provide financial support
to such U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. U.S. government
securities are also subject to interest rate risks and can exhibit price fluctuations resulting from increases or decreases in
interest rates. |

purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly. Such larger than normal
shareholder redemptions may adversely
affect the Fund’s ability to maintain
a stable $1.00 share price and negatively impact
the Fund’s liquidity. In some circumstances, the Fund may hold a relatively large proportion of its assets in cash in anticipation
of large redemptions. These large redemptions may also force the Fund to sell portfolio securities or other assets when it
might not otherwise do so, which may adversely
affect the Fund’s ability to maintain
a stable $1.00 share price and increase the Fund’s
transaction costs. In addition, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that
the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Credit
and Interest Rate Risk. Credit risk refers
to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction,
will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal
on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In such instances, the value of the Fund could
decline and the Fund could lose money. If an issuer’s, guarantor’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens,
the credit quality of the issuer, guarantor
or counterparty may deteriorate. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of financial condition,
liquidity or credit risk. Although credit ratings may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in
the credit rating of an instrument or an issuer, guarantor or counterparty, or the market’s perception of the creditworthiness
of an instrument or issuer, guarantor or
counterparty can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s value and liquidity and make
it more difficult for the Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Interest rate risk refers to the decline in the value of a fixed-income
security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. A wide variety of market and economic factors can
cause interest rates to rise or fall, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation, disinflation or deflation, and changes
in general economic conditions. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities
go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up but the yield
or income from new issuances of fixed-income securities generally decreases. Securities with longer durations will generally be
more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the
liquidity of and income generated by fixed-income instruments held by the Fund. The Fund may face a heightened level of
interest rate risk in times of monetary policy
change and/or uncertainty, such as when the Federal Reserve Board adjusts a quantitative
easing program and/or changes rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may detract
from Fund performance. A changing interest rate environment increases certain risks, including the potential for periods of market
volatility and increased redemptions. |

Fixed-Income
Securities. Fixed-income securities are
subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments
on its obligations (i.e., credit risk) and are subject to price volatility resulting from, among other things, interest rate sensitivity
(i.e., interest rate risk), market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (i.e., market risk).
Securities with longer durations are likely to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, generally making them more volatile
than securities with shorter durations. The Fund may be subject to certain liquidity risks that may result from the lack of an
active market and the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed-income securities.

U.S.
Government Securities. Different types
of U.S. government securities are subject to different levels of credit risk, including the risk
of default, depending on the nature of the particular government support for that security. For example, a U.S. government-sponsored
entity, such as Federal National Mortgage Association or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, although chartered
or sponsored by an Act of Congress, may issue securities that are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and,
therefore, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. With respect to U.S. government securities that are not
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, there is the risk that the U.S. government will not provide financial support
to such U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. U.S. government
securities are also subject to interest rate risks and can exhibit price fluctuations resulting from increases or decreases in
interest rates. |

due to economic and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those that affect or are perceived
or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset classes or governments. These

It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that
such events may have and the duration of those effects (which may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively
impact broad segments of businesses and populations and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance

Foreign
Securities. The Fund may invest in U.S.
dollar-denominated securities issued by foreign governmental or corporate issuers. Investing
in securities of foreign issuers involves some additional risks than securities of U.S. issuers. While foreign securities, including
foreign money market securities, are subject to the same type of risks that pertain to domestic issuers, namely credit risk and

In some foreign countries, there is also the risk of government expropriation, excessive taxation, political or social instability,
economic sanctions or other similar governmental activity or diplomatic developments (including regional and global, military
or other conflicts) that could affect an investment. There also can be difficulty obtaining and enforcing judgments against
issuers in foreign countries. Governmental
interventions or other actions can have a significant effect on the economic conditions in

Credit
and Interest Rate Risk. Credit risk refers
to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction,
will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal
on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In
the case of revenue bonds, notes or commercial
paper, for example, the credit risk is the possibility that the user fees from a project or other specified revenue sources are
insufficient to meet interest and/or principal payment obligations.
In such instances, the value of the Fund could decline and the
Fund could lose money. If an issuer’s, guarantor’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens, the credit quality
of the issuer, guarantor or counterparty
may deteriorate. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of financial condition, liquidity
or credit risk. Although credit ratings may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in the credit
rating of an instrument or an issuer, guarantor or counterparty, or the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of an instrument
or issuer, guarantor or counterparty can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s value and liquidity and make it
more difficult for the Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Interest rate risk refers to the decline in the value of a fixed-income
security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. A wide variety of market and economic factors can cause
interest rates to rise or fall, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation, disinflation or deflation, and changes in general
economic conditions. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities go down. When
the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up but the yield or income from new
issuances of fixed-income securities generally decreases. Securities with longer durations will generally be more sensitive to changes
in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of and income
generated by fixed-income instruments held by the Fund. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate loans and other
variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate
instruments, the value of variable and floating rate loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly,
or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk in times of monetary policy
change and/or uncertainty, such as when the Federal Reserve Board adjusts a quantitative easing program and/or changes rates.
Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may detract from Fund performance. A changing interest
rate environment increases certain risks, including the potential for periods of market volatility and increased redemptions.

Fixed-Income
Securities. Fixed-income securities are
subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments
on its obligations (i.e., credit risk) and are subject to price volatility resulting from, among other things, interest rate sensitivity

Securities with longer durations are likely to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, generally making them more volatile
than securities with shorter durations. The Fund may be subject to certain liquidity risks that may result from the lack of an
active market and the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed-income securities.

U.S.
Government Securities. Different types
of U.S. government securities are subject to different levels of credit risk, including the risk
of default, depending on the nature of the particular government support for that security. For example, a U.S. government-sponsored
entity, such as Federal National Mortgage Association or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, although chartered
or sponsored by an Act of Congress, may issue securities that are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and,
therefore, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. With respect to U.S. government securities that are not
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, there is the risk that the U.S. government will not provide financial support
to such U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. U.S. government
securities are also subject to interest rate risks and can exhibit price fluctuations resulting from increases or decreases in

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which change
due to economic and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those that affect or are perceived
or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset classes or governments. These
types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or income generated by) and liquidity of
the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities and/or its ability to meet redemptions.
The risks associated with these developments
may be magnified if certain social, political, economic and other conditions and events
(such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics, terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest
rate changes and supply chain disruptions) adversely interrupt or otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets.
It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that
such events may have and the duration of those effects (which may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively
impact broad segments of businesses and populations and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance
or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price and exacerbate
pre-existing risks to the Fund. The frequency and magnitude of resulting changes in the value of the Fund’s investments

Agreements. Repurchase agreements are
subject to risks associated with the possibility of default by the seller at a time when
the collateral has declined in value, or insolvency of the seller, which may affect the Fund’s right to control the collateral

Credit
and Interest Rate Risk. Credit risk refers
to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction,
will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal
on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In
the case of revenue bonds, notes or commercial
paper, for example, the credit risk is the possibility that the user fees from a project or other specified revenue sources are
insufficient to meet interest and/or principal payment obligations.
In such instances, the value of the Fund could decline and the
Fund could lose money. If an issuer’s, guarantor’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens, the credit quality
of the issuer, guarantor or counterparty
may deteriorate. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of financial condition, liquidity
or credit risk. Although credit ratings may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in the credit
rating of an instrument or an issuer, guarantor or counterparty, or the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of an instrument
or issuer, guarantor or counterparty can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s value and liquidity and make it
more difficult for the Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Interest rate risk refers to the decline in the value of a fixed-income
security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. A wide variety of market and economic factors can cause
interest rates to rise or fall, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation, disinflation or deflation, and changes in general
economic conditions. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities go down. When
the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up but the yield or income from new
issuances of fixed-income securities generally decreases. Securities with longer durations will generally be more sensitive to changes
in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of and income
generated by fixed-income instruments held by the Fund. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate loans and other
variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate
instruments, the value of variable and floating rate loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly,
or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk in times of monetary policy
change and/or uncertainty, such as when the Federal Reserve Board adjusts a quantitative easing program and/or changes rates.
Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may detract from Fund performance. A changing interest
rate environment increases certain risks, including the potential for periods of market volatility and increased redemptions.

Fixed-Income
Securities. Fixed-income securities are
subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments
on its obligations (i.e., credit risk) and are subject to price volatility resulting from, among other things, interest rate sensitivity
(i.e., interest rate risk), market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (i.e., market risk).
Securities with longer durations are likely to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, generally making them more volatile
than securities with shorter durations. The Fund may be subject to certain liquidity risks that may result from the lack of an
active market and the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed-income securities.

U.S.
Government Securities. Different types
of U.S. government securities are subject to different levels of credit risk, including the risk
of default, depending on the nature of the particular government support for that security. For example, a U.S. government-sponsored
entity, such as Federal National Mortgage Association or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, although chartered
or sponsored by an Act of Congress, may issue securities that are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and,
therefore, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. With respect to U.S. government securities that are not
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, there is the risk that the U.S. government will not provide financial support
to such U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. U.S. government
securities are also subject to interest rate risks and can exhibit price fluctuations resulting from increases or decreases in
interest rates. |

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which change
due to economic and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those that affect or are perceived
or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset classes or governments. These
types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or income generated by) and liquidity of
the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities and/or its ability to meet redemptions.
The risks associated with these developments
may be magnified if certain social, political, economic and other conditions and events
(such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics, terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest
rate changes and supply chain disruptions) adversely interrupt or otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets.
It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that
such events may have and the duration of those effects (which may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively
impact broad segments of businesses and populations and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance
or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price and 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. |

Large
Transactions Risk.
The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, or a number of shareholders collectively,
purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly. Such larger than normal
shareholder redemptions may adversely affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price and negatively impact
|
|
|
the
Fund’s liquidity. In some circumstances, the Fund may hold a relatively large proportion of its assets in cash in anticipation
of large redemptions.
These large redemptions may also force the Fund to sell portfolio securities or other assets when it might not otherwise
do so, which may adversely affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s transaction
costs. In addition, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund
is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. Finally, large redemptions
may cause the Fund to impose a discretionary liquidity fee. |

or other conflicts) that could affect an investment. There also can be difficulty obtaining and enforcing judgments against
issuers in foreign countries. Governmental
interventions or other actions can have a significant effect on the economic conditions in
foreign countries, which also may adversely affect the Fund’s investments in foreign issuers. |

Municipal
Obligations. To the extent the Fund invests
in municipal obligations issued by state and local governments and their agencies,
the Fund may be susceptible to political, economic, regulatory or other factors affecting issuers of these municipal obligations.
To the extent that the Fund invests in municipal obligations of issuers in the same economic sector, it could be more sensitive
to economic, business or political developments that affect such sector. During certain economic and other conditions, the
financial resources of many issuers of municipal securities may be significantly stressed, which could impair any such issuer’s
ability to meet its financial obligations
when due and adversely impact the value of its securities held by the Fund. While
interest earned on municipal securities is
generally not subject to federal income tax, any interest earned on taxable municipal securities is fully
taxable at the federal level and may be subject to state and/or local income tax. |

Credit
and Interest Rate Risk. Credit risk refers
to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction,
will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal
on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In
the case of revenue bonds, notes or commercial
paper, for example, the credit risk is the possibility that the user fees from a project or other specified revenue sources are
insufficient to meet interest and/or principal payment obligations.
In such instances, the value of the Fund could decline and the
Fund could lose money. If an issuer’s, guarantor’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens, the credit quality
of the issuer, guarantor or counterparty
may deteriorate. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of financial condition, liquidity
or credit risk. Although credit ratings may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in the credit
rating of an instrument or an issuer, guarantor or counterparty, or the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of an instrument
or issuer, guarantor or counterparty can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s value and liquidity and make it
more difficult for the Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Interest rate risk refers to the decline in the value of a fixed-income
security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. A wide variety of market and economic factors can cause
interest rates to rise or fall, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation, disinflation or deflation, and changes in general
economic conditions. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities go down. When
the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up but the yield or income from new
issuances of fixed-income securities generally decreases. Securities with longer durations will generally be more sensitive to changes
in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of and income
generated by fixed-income instruments held by the Fund. The Fund may invest in variable and floating rate loans and other
variable and floating rate securities. Although these instruments are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate
instruments, the value of variable and floating rate loans and other securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly,
or as much, as general interest rates. The Fund may face a heightened level of interest rate risk in times of monetary policy
change and/or uncertainty, such as when the Federal Reserve Board adjusts a quantitative easing program and/or changes rates.
Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may detract from Fund performance. A changing interest
rate environment increases certain risks, including the potential for periods of market volatility and increased redemptions.

Fixed-Income
Securities. Fixed-income securities are
subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments
on its obligations (i.e., credit risk) and are subject to price volatility resulting from, among other things, interest rate sensitivity
(i.e., interest rate risk), market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (i.e., market risk).
Securities with longer durations are likely to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, generally making them more volatile
than securities with shorter durations. The Fund may be subject to certain liquidity risks that may result from the lack of an
active market and the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed-income securities.

U.S.
Government Securities. Different types
of U.S. government securities are subject to different levels of credit risk, including the risk
of default, depending on the nature of the particular government support for that security. For example, a U.S. government-sponsored
entity, such as Federal National Mortgage Association or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, although chartered
or sponsored by an Act of Congress, may issue securities that are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and,
therefore, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. With respect to U.S. government securities that are not
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, there is the risk that the U.S. government will not provide financial support
to such U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. U.S. government
securities are also subject to interest rate risks and can exhibit price fluctuations resulting from increases or decreases in
interest rates. |

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which change
due to economic and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those that affect or are perceived
or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset classes or governments. These
types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or income generated by) and liquidity of
the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities and/or its ability to meet redemptions.
The risks associated with these developments
may be magnified if certain social, political, economic and other conditions and events
(such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics, terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest
rate changes and supply chain disruptions) adversely interrupt or otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets.
It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that
such events may have and the duration of those effects (which may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively
impact broad segments of businesses and populations and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance
or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price and 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. |

The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, or a number of shareholders collectively,
purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly. Such larger than |

of large redemptions.
These large redemptions may also force the Fund to sell portfolio securities or other assets when it might not otherwise
do so, which may adversely affect and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price and increase the Fund’s transaction
costs. In addition, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund
is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. Finally, large redemptions
may cause the Fund to impose a discretionary liquidity fee. |

Agreements. Repurchase agreements are
subject to risks associated with the possibility of default by the seller at a time when
the collateral has declined in value, or insolvency of the seller, which may affect the Fund’s right to control the collateral

Credit
and Interest Rate Risk. Credit risk refers
to the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction,
will be unable or unwilling or perceived to be unable or unwilling to make interest payments and/or repay the principal
on its debt or otherwise honor its obligations, including the risk of default. In such instances, the value of the Fund could
decline and the Fund could lose money. If an issuer’s, guarantor’s or counterparty’s financial condition worsens,
the credit quality of the issuer, guarantor
or counterparty may deteriorate. Credit ratings may not be an accurate assessment of financial condition,
liquidity or credit risk. Although credit ratings may not accurately reflect the true credit risk of an instrument, a change in
the credit rating of an instrument or an issuer, guarantor or counterparty, or the market’s perception of the creditworthiness
of an instrument or issuer, guarantor or
counterparty can have a rapid, adverse effect on the instrument’s value and liquidity and make
it more difficult for the Fund to sell at an advantageous price or time. Interest rate risk refers to the decline in the value of a fixed-income
security resulting from changes in the general level of interest rates. A wide variety of market and economic factors can
cause interest rates to rise or fall, including central bank monetary policy, rising inflation, disinflation or deflation, and changes
in general economic conditions. When the general level of interest rates goes up, the prices of most fixed-income securities
go down. When the general level of interest rates goes down, the prices of most fixed-income securities go up but the yield
or income from new issuances of fixed-income securities generally decreases. Securities with longer durations will generally be
more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the
liquidity of and income generated by fixed-income instruments held by the Fund. The Fund may face a heightened level of
interest rate risk in times of monetary policy
change and/or uncertainty, such as when the Federal Reserve Board adjusts a quantitative
easing program and/or changes rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and may detract
from Fund performance. A changing interest rate environment increases certain risks, including the potential for periods of market
volatility and increased redemptions. |

Fixed-Income
Securities. Fixed-income securities are
subject to the risk of the issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments
on its obligations (i.e., credit risk) and are subject to price volatility resulting from, among other things, interest rate sensitivity
(i.e., interest rate risk), market perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and general market liquidity (i.e., market risk).
Securities with longer durations are likely to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, generally making them more volatile
than securities with shorter durations. The Fund may be subject to certain liquidity risks that may result from the lack of an
active market and the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed-income securities.

U.S.
Government Securities. Different types
of U.S. government securities are subject to different levels of credit risk, including the risk
of default, depending on the nature of the particular government support for that security. For example, a U.S. government-sponsored
entity, such as Federal National Mortgage Association or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, although chartered
or sponsored by an Act of Congress, may issue securities that are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury and,
therefore, are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. With respect to U.S. government securities that are not
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, there is the risk that the U.S. government will not provide financial support
to such U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if it is not obligated to do so by law. U.S. government
securities are also subject to interest rate risks and can exhibit price fluctuations resulting from increases or decreases in
interest rates. |

Market
and Geopolitical Risk. The value of your
investment in the Fund is based on the values of the Fund’s investments, which change
due to economic and other events that affect the U.S. and global markets generally, as well as those that affect or are perceived
or expected to affect particular regions, countries, industries, companies, issuers, sectors, asset classes or governments. These
types of events may be sudden and unexpected, and could adversely affect the value (or income generated by) and liquidity of
the Fund’s investments, which may in turn impact the Fund’s ability to sell securities and/or its ability to meet redemptions.
|
|

The
risks associated with these developments may be magnified if certain social, political, economic and other conditions and events
(such as war, natural disasters or events, epidemics and pandemics, terrorism, conflicts, social unrest, recessions, inflation, interest
rate changes and supply chain disruptions) adversely interrupt or otherwise affect the global economy and financial markets.
It is difficult to predict when events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets or economies may occur, the effects that
such events may have and the duration of those effects (which may last for extended periods). These types of events may negatively
impact broad segments of businesses and populations and have a significant and rapid negative impact on the performance
or value of the Fund’s investments, adversely affect the
Fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price
and exacerbate pre-existing risks to the
Fund. The frequency and magnitude of resulting changes in the value of the Fund’s investments

Transactions Risk.
The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, or a number of shareholders collectively,
purchase or redeem large amounts of shares of the Fund, which may occur rapidly or unexpectedly. Such larger than normal
shareholder redemptions may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price and negatively impact
the Fund’s liquidity. In some circumstances, the Fund may hold a relatively large proportion of its assets in cash in anticipation
of large redemptions. These large redemptions may also force the Fund to sell portfolio securities or other assets when it
might not otherwise do so, which may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to maintain a stable $1.00 share price and increase the
Fund’s transaction
costs. In addition, large purchases of Fund shares may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that
the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. |
