The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of a period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same and that the fee waivers currently in place are not renewed beyond July 31, 2027. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:</div> 666 666 173 173 62 62 72 72 864 864 539 539 199 199 227 227 1078 1078 931 931 348 348 398 398 1694 1694 2028 2028 784 784 892 892 Portfolio Turnover <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 81% of the average value of its portfolio.</div> 0.81 Principal Investment Strategies <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the sum of its net assets and the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in dividend-paying equity securities of value companies. Dividend-paying companies are those that have paid a dividend in the previous 12 months from the time of measurement. Value companies are those that are constituents of at least one of the following indexes on the last business day of the month in which its most recent reconstitution was completed (as adjusted by changes to an index between reconstitutions): Russell 3000</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">^®</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"> Value Index, S&amp;P Composite 1500</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">^®</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"> Value Index and MSCI World IMI Value Index.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">Higher-yielding equity securities will generally represent the core holdings of the Fund. However, the Fund also may invest in equity securities with low or no yield, but higher growth if the sub-adviser believes they will help balance the portfolio. The Fund’s equity securities include common stocks, convertible preferred stocks, and corporate debt securities that are convertible into common stocks.</div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">The Fund invests in convertible securities in pursuit of both long-term growth of capital and income. The securities’ conversion features provide long-term growth potential, while interest payments on the securities provide income. The Fund may invest in convertible securities without regard to their ratings, and therefore may hold convertible securities which are rated lower than investment grade.</div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">The Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in non-dollar denominated equity securities of non-U.S. issuers. In addition, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets, collectively, in non-dollar denominated equity securities of non-U.S. issuers and in dollar-denominated equity securities of non-U.S. issuers that are either listed on a U.S. stock exchange or represented by depositary receipts that may or may not be sponsored by a domestic bank. Up to 15% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in equity securities of emerging market issuers.</div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">The Fund may utilize options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: italic; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">derivatives</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">”).

You could lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Active Management Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—The Fund’s sub-adviser actively manages the Fund’s investments. Consequently, the Fund is subject to the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses employed by the Fund’s sub-adviser, including its use of proprietary and third-party technology systems, models, algorithms and data management software, may not produce the desired results. This could cause the Fund to lose value or its investment results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Convertible Security Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Convertible securities are subject to market and other risks associated with equity securities, as well as the credit, interest rate and other risks associated with debt securities. The value of convertible securities may decline in response to such factors as rising interest rates and fluctuations in the market price of the common stock underlying the convertible securities.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Credit Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other obligated party of a security may be, or perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) to be, unable or unwilling to make dividend, interest and principal payments when due and the related risk that the value of a security may decline because of concerns about the issuer’s ability or willingness to make such payments. </span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Currency Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of non-U.S. securities, the value of dividends and interest earned from such securities, gains and losses realized on the sale of such securities, and derivative transactions tied to such securities. A strong U.S. dollar relative to these other currencies will adversely affect the value of the Fund’s portfolio.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Cybersecurity Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Cybersecurity risk is the risk of an unauthorized breach and access to Fund assets, customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or the risk of an incident occurring that causes the Fund, its investment adviser or sub-adviser, custodian, transfer agent, distributor or other service provider, a financial intermediary or the issuers of securities held by the Fund to suffer a data breach, data corruption or lose operational functionality. Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events affecting the Fund, its service providers or the issuers of securities held by the Fund may adversely impact the Fund or its shareholders. Additionally, a cybersecurity breach could affect the issuers in which the Fund invests, which may cause the Fund’s investments to lose value.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Derivatives Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that can involve investment techniques, risks, and tax planning different from those associated with more traditional investment instruments and involves transaction costs which could leave the Fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments. Derivative instruments can be used to acquire or to transfer the risk and returns of a security or other asset without buying or selling the security or asset, and the risks associated with investing in such derivatives may be different and greater than the risks associated with directly investing in the underlying securities and other instruments, including leverage risk, market risk, counterparty risk, liquidity risk, operational risk and legal risk. These instruments may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest. As a result, a small investment in derivatives can result in losses that greatly exceed the original investment. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value. An over-the-counter derivative transaction between the Fund and a counterparty that is not cleared through a central counterparty also involves the risk that a loss may be sustained as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the contract to make required payments. The payment obligation for a cleared derivative transaction is guaranteed by a central counterparty, which exposes the Fund to the creditworthiness of the central counterparty.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Dividend-Paying Security Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—The Fund’s investment in dividend-paying securities could cause the Fund to underperform similar funds that invest without consideration of a company’s track record of paying dividends. Securities of companies with a history of paying dividends may not participate in a broad market advance to the same degree as most other securities, and a sharp rise in interest rates or economic downturn could cause a company to unexpectedly reduce or eliminate its dividend. There is no guarantee that the issuers of the securities held by the Fund will declare dividends in the future or that, if declared, they will remain at their current levels or increase over time. Depending on market conditions, dividend paying securities that meet the Fund’s investment objectives may not be widely available or may be concentrated in only a few market sectors. This may limit the ability of the Fund to produce income while remaining diversified.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Emerging Markets Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—The risk of foreign investment often increases in countries with emerging markets or that are otherwise economically tied to emerging market countries. For example, these countries may have more unstable governments than developed countries and their economies may be based on only a few industries. Emerging market countries may also have less stringent regulation of accounting, auditing, financial reporting and recordkeeping requirements, which would affect the Fund’s ability to evaluate potential portfolio companies. As a result, there could be less information about issuers in emerging market countries, which could negatively affect the ability of the Fund’s sub-adviser to evaluate local companies or their potential impact on the Fund’s performance. Because their financial markets may be very small, prices of financial instruments in emerging market countries may be volatile and difficult to determine. Financial instruments of issuers in these countries may have lower overall liquidity than those of issuers in more developed countries. In addition, foreign investors such as the Fund are subject to a variety of special restrictions in many emerging market countries. </span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">Shareholder claims and regulatory actions that are available in the U.S. may be difficult or impossible to pursue in emerging market countries.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Equity Security Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio may decline significantly in price over short or extended periods of time, and such declines may occur because of declines in the equity market as a whole, or because of declines in only a particular country, company, industry, or sector of the market. Given the Fund's focus on dividend-paying securities, the Fund may, from time to time, have a greater exposure to higher dividend-yield sectors and industries than </span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">the broad equity market which would make the Fund more vulnerable to adverse developments affecting such sectors or industries.</div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Foreign Investment Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Non-U.S. issuers or U.S. issuers with significant non-U.S. operations may be subject to risks in addition to those of issuers located in or that principally operate in the United States as a result of, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as armed conflicts and different legal, regulatory and tax environments. Foreign investments may also have lower liquidity and be more difficult to value than investments in U.S. issuers. To the extent the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies in a single country or region, it may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory events or conditions affecting that country or region. Foreign investments may also be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information, less stringent investor protections and less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards. </span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">High Yield Securities Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—High yield securities, which are rated below investment grade and commonly referred to as “junk” bonds, and unrated securities of comparable quality are high risk investments that may cause income and principal losses for the Fund. They generally are considered to be speculative with respect to the ability to pay interest and repay principal, have greater credit risk, are less liquid, are more likely to experience a default and have more volatile prices than investment grade securities, especially during periods of uncertainty or market turmoil.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Interest Rate Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of the Fund’s fixed-rate securities will decline because of rising interest rates. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on markets, result in heightened market volatility and detract from the Fund’s performance to the extent that it is exposed to such interest rates. Fixed-rate securities may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates than would normally be the case due to the effect of potential government fiscal policy initiatives and resulting market reaction to those initiatives. Higher periods of inflation could lead to government fiscal policies which raise interest rates. When interest rates change, the values of longer-duration fixed-rate securities usually change more than the values of shorter-duration fixed-rate securities. Conversely, fixed-rate securities with shorter durations or maturities will be less volatile but may provide lower returns than fixed-rate securities with longer durations or maturities. Rising interest rates also may lengthen the duration of securities with call features, since exercise of the call becomes less likely as interest rates rise, which in turn will make the securities more sensitive to changes in interest rates and result in even steeper price declines in the event of further interest rate increases. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the income generated by its investments may not keep pace with inflation. There is a risk that interest rates across the financial system may change, possibly significantly and/or rapidly. In general, changing interest rates, including rates that fall below zero, or a lack of market participants may lead to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the fixed-rate or debt markets, making it more difficult for the Fund to sell fixed-rate investments. Changes in interest rates may also lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may result in higher portfolio turnover costs, thereby adversely affecting the Fund’s performance.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Market Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—The market value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably and for short or extended periods of time, due to the particular circumstances of individual issuers or due to general conditions impacting issuers more broadly. Global economies and financial markets have become highly interconnected, and thus economic, market or political conditions or events in one country or region might adversely impact the value of the Fund’s investments whether or not the Fund invests in such country or region. Events such as war, terrorism, natural and environmental disasters and the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health emergencies may have a severe negative impact on the global economy, could cause financial markets to experience extreme volatility and losses, and could result in the disruption of trading and the reduction of liquidity in many instruments. Additionally, as inflation increases, the value of the Fund’s assets can decline.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Value Stock Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Value stocks are securities of companies that typically trade at a perceived discount to their intrinsic value and at valuation discounts relative to companies in the same industry. Value stocks often times are also in sectors that trade at a discount to the broader market. The reasons for their discount may vary greatly, but some examples may include adverse business, industry or other developments that may cause the company to be subject to special risks.

Derivative instruments can be used to acquire or to transfer the risk and returns of a security or other asset without buying or selling the security or asset, and the risks associated with investing in such derivatives may be different and greater than the risks associated with directly investing in the underlying securities and other instruments, including leverage risk, market risk, counterparty risk, liquidity risk, operational risk and legal risk. These instruments may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest. As a result, a small investment in derivatives can result in losses that greatly exceed the original investment. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value. An over-the-counter derivative transaction between the Fund and a counterparty that is not cleared through a central counterparty also involves the risk that a loss may be sustained as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the contract to make required payments. The payment obligation for a cleared derivative transaction is guaranteed by a central counterparty, which exposes the Fund to the creditworthiness of the central counterparty.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Emerging Markets Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—The risk of foreign investment often increases in countries with emerging markets or that are otherwise economically tied to emerging market countries. For example, these countries may have more unstable governments than developed countries and their economies may be based on only a few industries. Emerging market countries may also have less stringent regulation of accounting, auditing, financial reporting and recordkeeping requirements, which would affect the Fund’s ability to evaluate potential portfolio companies. As a result, there could be less information about issuers in emerging market countries, which could negatively affect the ability of the Fund’s sub-adviser to evaluate local companies or their potential impact on the Fund’s performance. Because their financial markets may be very small, prices of financial instruments in emerging market countries may be volatile and difficult to determine. Financial instruments of issuers in these countries may have lower overall liquidity than those of issuers in more developed countries. In addition, foreign investors such as the Fund are subject to a variety of special restrictions in many emerging market countries. Shareholder claims and regulatory actions that are available in the U.S. may be difficult or impossible to pursue in emerging market countries.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Equity Security Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio may decline significantly in price over short or extended periods of time, and such declines may occur because of declines in the equity market as a whole, or because of declines in only a particular country, company, industry, or sector of the market. From time to time, the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in companies in one or more related sectors or industries which would make the Fund more vulnerable to adverse developments affecting such sectors or industries.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Foreign Investment Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Non-U.S. issuers or U.S. issuers with significant non-U.S. operations may be subject to risks in addition to those of issuers located in or that principally operate in the United States as a result of, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as armed conflicts and different legal, regulatory and tax environments. Foreign investments may also have lower liquidity and be more difficult to value than investments in U.S. issuers. To the extent the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies in a single country or region, it may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory events or conditions affecting that country or region. Foreign investments may also be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information, less stringent investor protections and less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards. </span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Information Technology Sector Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—The Fund currently invests a significant portion of its assets in the information technology sector, although this may change over time.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of a period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same and that the fee waivers currently in place are not renewed beyond July 31, 2027.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 19% of the average value of its portfolio.</div> 0.19 Principal Investment Strategies <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the sum of its net assets and the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in equity securities of mid-capitalization value companies. Mid-capitalization companies are defined as companies that have market capitalizations within the market capitalization range of the companies in the Russell Midcap</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">^®</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"> Index.

In addition, the Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets, collectively, in non-dollar denominated equity securities of non-U.S. issuers and in dollar-denominated equity securities of non-U.S. issuers that are either listed on a U.S. stock exchange or represented by depositary receipts that may or may not be sponsored by a domestic bank. Up to 15% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in equity securities of emerging market issuers.</div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">The Fund may utilize options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: italic; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">derivatives</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">”).

You could lose money by investing in the Fund. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Active Management Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—The Fund’s sub-adviser actively manages the Fund’s investments. Consequently, the Fund is subject to the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses employed by the Fund’s sub-adviser, including its use of proprietary and third-party technology systems, models, algorithms and data management software, may not produce the desired results. This could cause the Fund to lose value or its investment results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Currency Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of non-U.S. securities, the value of dividends and interest earned from such securities, gains and losses realized on the sale of such securities, and derivative transactions tied to such securities. A strong U.S. dollar relative to these other currencies will adversely affect the value of the Fund’s portfolio.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Cybersecurity Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Cybersecurity risk is the risk of an unauthorized breach and access to Fund assets, customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or the risk of an incident occurring that causes the Fund, its investment adviser or sub-adviser, custodian, transfer agent, distributor or other service provider, a financial intermediary or the issuers of securities held by the Fund to suffer a data breach, data corruption or lose operational functionality. Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events affecting the Fund, its service providers or the issuers of securities held by the Fund may adversely impact the Fund or its shareholders. Additionally, a cybersecurity breach could affect the issuers in which the Fund invests, which may cause the Fund’s investments to lose value.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Derivatives Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that can involve investment techniques, risks, and tax planning different from those associated with more traditional investment instruments and involves transaction costs which could leave the Fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments. Derivative instruments can be used to acquire or to transfer the risk and returns of a security or other asset without buying or selling the security or asset, and the risks associated with investing in such derivatives may be different and greater than the risks associated with directly investing in the underlying securities and other instruments, including leverage risk, market risk, counterparty risk, liquidity risk, operational risk and legal risk. These instruments may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest. As a result, a small investment in derivatives can result in losses that greatly exceed the original investment. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value. An over-the-counter derivative transaction between the Fund and a counterparty that is not cleared through a central counterparty also involves the risk that a loss may be sustained as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the contract to make required payments. The payment obligation for a cleared derivative transaction is guaranteed by a central counterparty, which exposes the Fund to the creditworthiness of the central counterparty.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Emerging Markets Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—The risk of foreign investment often increases in countries with emerging markets or that are otherwise economically tied to emerging market countries. For example, these countries may have more unstable governments than developed countries and their economies may be based on only a few industries. Emerging market countries may also have less stringent regulation of accounting, auditing, financial reporting and recordkeeping requirements, which would affect the Fund’s ability to evaluate potential portfolio companies. As a result, there could be less information about issuers in emerging market countries, which could negatively affect the ability of the Fund’s sub-adviser to evaluate local companies or their potential impact on the Fund’s performance. Because their financial markets may be very small, prices of financial instruments in emerging market countries may be volatile and difficult to determine. Financial instruments of issuers in these countries may have lower overall liquidity than those of issuers in more developed countries. In addition, foreign investors such as the Fund are subject to a variety of special restrictions in many emerging market countries. Shareholder claims and regulatory actions that are available in the U.S. may be difficult or impossible to pursue in emerging market countries.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Equity Security Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio may decline significantly in price over short or extended periods of time, and such declines may occur because of declines in the equity market as a whole, or because of declines in only a particular country, company, industry, or sector of the market. From time to time, the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in companies in one or more related sectors or industries which would make the Fund more vulnerable to adverse developments affecting such sectors or industries.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Foreign Investment Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Non-U.S. issuers or U.S. issuers with significant non-U.S. operations may be subject to risks in addition to those of issuers located in or that principally operate in the United States as a result of, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as armed conflicts and different legal, regulatory and tax environments. Foreign investments may also have lower liquidity and be more difficult to value than investments in U.S. issuers. To the extent the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies in a single country or region, it may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory events or conditions affecting that country or region. Foreign investments may also be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information, less stringent investor protections and less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards. </span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Industrials Sector Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—The Fund currently invests a significant portion of its assets in the industrials sector, although this may change over time. Industrials companies are affected by various factors, including the general state of the economy, exchange rates, commodity prices, intense competition, consolidation, domestic and international politics, government regulation, import controls, excess capacity, consumer demand and spending trends. In addition, industrials companies may also be significantly affected by overall capital spending levels, economic cycles, rapid technological changes, delays in modernization, labor relations, environmental liabilities, governmental and product liability and e-commerce initiatives.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Market Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—The market value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably and for short or extended periods of time, due to the particular circumstances of individual issuers or due to general conditions impacting issuers more broadly. Global economies and financial markets have become highly interconnected, and thus economic, market or political conditions or events in one country or region might adversely impact the value of the Fund’s investments whether or not the Fund invests in such country or region. Events such as war, terrorism, natural and environmental disasters and the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health emergencies may have a severe negative impact on the global economy, could cause financial markets to experience extreme volatility and losses, and could result in the disruption of trading and the reduction of liquidity in many instruments. Additionally, as inflation increases, the value of the Fund’s assets can decline.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Mid-Cap Company Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Securities of mid-cap companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than those of larger, more established companies or broader market averages in general.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Value Stock Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Value stocks are securities of companies that typically trade at a perceived discount to their intrinsic value and at valuation discounts relative to companies in the same industry. Value stocks often times are also in sectors that trade at a discount to the broader market. The reasons for their discount may vary greatly, but some examples may include adverse business, industry or other developments that may cause the company to be subject to special risks. The intrinsic value of a stock with value characteristics may be difficult to identify and may not be fully recognized by the market for a long time or a stock identified to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced at a low level.</span></div> Fund Performance <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the potential risks of investing in the Fund.

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

Foreign investments may also have lower liquidity and be more difficult to value than investments in U.S. issuers. To the extent the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies in a single country or region, it may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory events or conditions affecting that country or region.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of a period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same and that the fee waivers currently in place are not renewed beyond July 31, 2027.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.

Small-capitalization companies are defined as companies that have market capitalizations within the market capitalization range of the companies in the Russell 2000</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">^®</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;"> Index.

Consequently, the Fund is subject to the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses employed by the Fund’s sub-adviser, including its use of proprietary and third-party technology systems, models, algorithms and data management software, may not produce the desired results. This could cause the Fund to lose value or its investment results to lag relevant benchmarks or other funds with similar objectives.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Currency Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of non-U.S. securities, the value of dividends and interest earned from such securities, gains and losses realized on the sale of such securities, and derivative transactions tied to such securities. A strong U.S. dollar relative to these other currencies will adversely affect the value of the Fund’s portfolio.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Cybersecurity Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Cybersecurity risk is the risk of an unauthorized breach and access to Fund assets, customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or the risk of an incident occurring that causes the Fund, its investment adviser or sub-adviser, custodian, transfer agent, distributor or other service provider, a financial intermediary or the issuers of securities held by the Fund to suffer a data breach, data corruption or lose operational functionality. Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events affecting the Fund, its service providers or the issuers of securities held by the Fund may adversely impact the Fund or its shareholders. Additionally, a cybersecurity breach could affect the issuers in which the Fund invests, which may cause the Fund’s investments to lose value.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Derivatives Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—The use of derivatives is a highly specialized activity that can involve investment techniques, risks, and tax planning different from those associated with more traditional investment instruments and involves transaction costs which could leave the Fund in a worse position than if it had not used these instruments. Derivative instruments can be used to acquire or to transfer the risk and returns of a security or other asset without buying or selling the security or asset, and the risks associated with investing in such derivatives may be different and greater than the risks associated with directly investing in the underlying securities and other instruments, including leverage risk, market risk, counterparty risk, liquidity risk, operational risk and legal risk. These instruments may entail investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest. As a result, a small investment in derivatives can result in losses that greatly exceed the original investment. Derivatives can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value. An over-the-counter derivative transaction between the Fund and a counterparty that is not cleared through a central counterparty also involves the risk that a loss may be sustained as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the contract to make required payments. The payment obligation for a cleared derivative transaction is guaranteed by a central counterparty, which exposes the Fund to the creditworthiness of the central counterparty.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Emerging Markets Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—The risk of foreign investment often increases in countries with emerging markets or that are otherwise economically tied to emerging market countries. For example, these countries may have more unstable governments than developed countries and their economies may be based on only a few industries. Emerging market countries may also have less stringent regulation of accounting, auditing, financial reporting and recordkeeping requirements, which would affect the Fund’s ability to evaluate potential portfolio companies. As a result, there could be less information about issuers in emerging market countries, which could negatively affect the ability of the Fund’s sub-adviser to evaluate local companies or their potential impact on the Fund’s performance. Because their financial markets may be very small, prices of financial instruments in emerging market countries may be volatile and difficult to determine. Financial instruments of issuers in these countries may have lower overall liquidity than those of issuers in more developed countries. In addition, foreign investors such as the Fund are subject to a variety of special restrictions in many emerging market countries. Shareholder claims and regulatory actions that are available in the U.S. may be difficult or impossible to pursue in emerging market countries.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Equity Security Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio may decline significantly in price over short or extended periods of time, and such declines may occur because of declines in the equity market as a whole, or because of declines in only a particular country, company, industry, or sector of the market. From time to time, the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in companies in one or more related sectors or industries which would make the Fund more vulnerable to adverse developments affecting such sectors or industries.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Foreign Investment Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Non-U.S. issuers or U.S. issuers with significant non-U.S. operations may be subject to risks in addition to those of issuers located in or that principally operate in the United States as a result of, among other things, political, social and economic developments abroad, as well as armed conflicts and different legal, regulatory and tax environments. Foreign investments may also have lower liquidity and be more difficult to value than investments in U.S. issuers. To the extent the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies in a single country or region, it may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory events or conditions affecting that country or region. Foreign investments may also be subject to risk of loss because of more or less foreign government regulation, less public information, less stringent investor protections and less stringent accounting, corporate governance, financial reporting and disclosure standards. </span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Growth Stock Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Growth stocks typically trade at a higher multiple of earnings than other types of equity securities. Accordingly, the market values of growth stocks may never reach their expected market value and may decline in price. Growth stocks tend to be more volatile than certain other types of stocks and their prices usually fluctuate more dramatically than the overall stock market. A stock with growth characteristics can have sharp price declines due to decreases in current or expected earnings and may lack dividends that can help cushion its share price in a declining market.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Health Care Sector Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—The Fund currently invests a significant portion of its assets in the health care sector, although this may change over time. Health care companies may be affected by government regulations and government health care programs, increases or decreases in the cost of medical products and services, changes in patent and intellectual property rights and product liability claims, among other factors.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Industrials Sector Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—The Fund currently invests a significant portion of its assets in the industrials sector, although this may change over time. Industrials companies are affected by various factors, including the general state of the economy, exchange rates, commodity prices, intense competition, consolidation, domestic and international politics, government regulation, import controls, excess capacity, consumer demand and spending trends. In addition, industrials companies may also be significantly affected by overall capital spending levels, economic cycles, rapid technological changes, delays in modernization, labor relations, environmental liabilities, governmental and product liability and e-commerce initiatives.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Market Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—The market value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably and for short or extended periods of time, due to the particular circumstances of individual issuers or due to general conditions impacting issuers more broadly. Global economies and financial markets have become highly interconnected, and thus economic, market or political conditions or events in one country or region might adversely impact the value of the Fund’s investments whether or not the Fund invests in such country or region. Events such as war, terrorism, natural and environmental disasters and the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health emergencies may have a severe negative impact on the global economy, could cause financial markets to experience extreme volatility and losses, and could result in the disruption of trading and the reduction of liquidity in many instruments. Additionally, as inflation increases, the value of the Fund’s assets can decline.</span></div> <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Small-Cap Company Risk</span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; font-style: normal; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none;">—Securities of small-cap companies involve substantial risk. Prices of small-cap securities may be subject to more abrupt or erratic movements, and to wider fluctuations and lower liquidity, than security prices of larger, more established companies or broader market averages in general. It may be difficult to sell small-cap securities at the desired time and price.</span></div> Fund Performance <div style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: arial; text-align: left; color: #000000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;">The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the potential risks of investing in the Fund.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of a period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same and that the fee waivers currently in place are not renewed beyond July 31, 2027.

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

Foreign investments may also have lower liquidity and be more difficult to value than investments in U.S. issuers. To the extent the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies in a single country or region, it may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory events or conditions affecting that country or region.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then either redeem or do not redeem your shares at the end of a period. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same and that the fee waivers currently in place are not renewed beyond July 31, 2027.

A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 21% of the average value of its portfolio. </div> 0.21 Principal Investment Strategies <div style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;text-align:left;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:1em;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none">Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of the sum of its net assets and the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes in equity securities of small-capitalization value companies.

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