With respect to the Portfolios listed in the table above, the second, third, and fourth paragraphs of the sub-section entitled “The Sub-Adviser(s) and Portfolio Managers” of each Prospectus, is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

The Adviser(s) act as a “manager-of-managers” for the Portfolio(s). The Adviser(s) have ultimate responsibility, subject to the oversight of the Portfolio(s)’ Board, to oversee any sub-advisers and to recommend the hiring, termination, or replacement of sub-advisers.  The Portfolio(s) and the Adviser(s) have received exemptive relief from the SEC which permits the Adviser(s), with the approval of the Portfolio(s)’ Board but without obtaining shareholder approval, to enter into or materially amend a sub-advisory agreement with sub-advisers that are not affiliated with the Adviser(s) (“non-affiliated sub-advisers”) as well as sub-advisers that are indirect or direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Adviser(s) or of another company that, indirectly or directly wholly owns the Adviser(s) (“wholly-owned sub-advisers”).

 

Consistent with the “manager-of-managers” structure, the Adviser(s) delegate to the sub-advisers of the Portfolio(s) the responsibility for day-to-day investment management or for asset allocation amongst the underlying funds, as applicable, subject to the Adviser(s)’ oversight. The Adviser(s) are responsible for, among other things, monitoring the investment program and performance of the sub-advisers of the Portfolio(s).  Pursuant to the exemptive relief, the Adviser(s), with the approval of the Portfolio(s)’ Board, have the discretion to terminate any sub-adviser (including terminating a non-affiliated sub-adviser and replacing it with a wholly-owned sub-adviser), and to allocate and reallocate a Portfolio’s assets among other sub-advisers.  In these instances, the Adviser(s) may have an incentive to select or retain an affiliated sub-adviser. In the event that the Adviser(s) exercise its/their discretion to replace a sub-adviser of the Portfolio(s) or add a new sub-adviser to the Portfolio(s), the Portfolio(s) will provide shareholders with information about the new sub-adviser and the new sub-advisory agreement within 90 days.  The appointment of a new sub-adviser or the replacement of an existing sub-adviser may be accompanied by a change to the name of a Portfolio and a change to the investment strategies of the Portfolio.

Under the terms of each sub-advisory agreement, the agreement can be terminated by the (applicable) Adviser or a Portfolio’s Board. In the event a sub-advisory agreement is terminated, the sub-adviser may be replaced subject to any regulatory requirements or the Adviser(s) may assume day-to-day investment management of a Portfolio.

 

The “manager-of-managers” structure and reliance on the exemptive relief has been approved by the/each Portfolio’s shareholders.

With respect to the Portfolios listed in the table above, the fourth and fifth paragraphs of the sub-section entitled “Management Fees” of each Prospectus, is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

The Sub-Adviser and Portfolio Managers

 

The Adviser has engaged a sub-adviser to provide the day-to-day management of the Portfolios’ portfolio. The sub-adviser is an affiliate of the Adviser.

 

The Adviser acts as a “manager-of-managers” for the Portfolios.  The Adviser has ultimate responsibility, subject to the oversight of the Portfolios’ Board, to oversee any sub-advisers and to recommend the hiring, termination, or replacement of sub-advisers.  The Portfolios and the Adviser have received exemptive relief from the SEC which permits the Adviser, with the approval of the Portfolios’ Board but without obtaining shareholder approval, to enter into or materially amend a sub-advisory agreement with sub-advisers that are not affiliated with the Adviser (“non-affiliated sub-advisers”) as well as sub-advisers that are indirect or direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Adviser or of another company that, indirectly or directly wholly owns the Adviser (“wholly-owned sub-advisers”).

 

Consistent with the “manager-of-managers” structure, the Adviser delegates to the sub-advisers of the Portfolios the responsibility for asset allocation amongst the underlying funds, subject to the Adviser’s oversight. The Adviser is responsible for, among other things, monitoring the investment program and performance of the sub-advisers of the Portfolios.  Pursuant to the exemptive relief, the Adviser, with the approval of the Portfolios’ Board, has the discretion to terminate any sub-adviser (including terminating a non-affiliated sub-adviser and replacing it with a wholly-owned sub-adviser), and to allocate and reallocate a Portfolio’s assets among other sub-advisers.  In these instances, the Adviser may have an incentive to select or retain an affiliated sub-adviser. In the event that the Adviser exercises its discretion to replace a sub-adviser of the Portfolios or add a new sub-adviser to the Portfolios, the Portfolios will provide shareholders with information about the new sub-adviser and the new sub-advisory agreement within 90 days.  The appointment of a new sub-adviser or the replacement of an existing sub-adviser may be accompanied by a change to the name of a Portfolio and a change to the investment strategies of the Portfolio.

 

Under the terms of each sub-advisory agreement, the agreement can be terminated by the Adviser or a Portfolio’s Board. In the event a sub-advisory agreement is terminated, the sub-adviser may be replaced subject to any regulatory requirements or the Adviser may assume day-to-day investment management of a Portfolio.

 

The “manager-of-managers” structure and reliance on the exemptive relief has been approved by the/each Portfolio’s shareholders.
