Effective immediately, the following bulleted list within the section “How Fund Shares Are Priced” is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

    Equity securities (including closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds), exchange traded notes, rights, and warrants — last sale price quoted on the exchange or market where traded most extensively or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking an NOCP, at the most recent bid quotations on the applicable NASDAQ Market. In the event that a sale price or bid quotation is unavailable, unlisted equity securities (except preferred equity securities discussed below) are valued using evaluated bids furnished by an independent pricing service, if available. In some foreign markets, an official close price and a last sale price may be available from the foreign exchange or market. In those cases, the official close price is used. Valuations from foreign markets are subject to the Funds’ fair value policies described below. If a right is not traded on any exchange, its value is based on the market value of the underlying security, less the cost to subscribe to the underlying security (e.g., to exercise the right), adjusted for the subscription ratio. If a warrant is not traded on any exchange, a price is obtained from a broker-dealer.

 

    Debt securities and unlisted preferred equity securities — evaluated bids furnished to a Fund by an independent pricing service using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities, if available, or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.

 

    Senior Loans — bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available, or bid prices obtained from broker-dealers.

 

    Bilateral Swaps — bilateral credit default swaps are valued based on mid prices (between the bid price and the ask price) supplied by an independent pricing service. Bilateral interest rate swaps and bilateral standardized index total return swaps are valued based on prices supplied by an independent pricing service. If prices from an independent pricing service are not available, prices from a broker-dealer may be used.


    Centrally Cleared Swaps — settlement prices of the clearinghouse on which the contracts were traded or prices obtained from broker-dealers.

 

    Options — domestic exchange-traded single name equity options contracts are valued at the mean of the National Best Bid and Offer quotations. Foreign exchange-traded single name equity options contracts are valued at the most recent settlement price. Options contracts on domestic indices shall be priced at the average of the closing bid and ask quotations as of the close of trading on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (“CBOE”). On the last business day of the month, the Funds will fair value the S&P 500® index options using the closing rotation values published by the CBOE. Options contracts on foreign indices are priced at the most recent settlement price. Options on futures contracts are valued using the current settlement price on the exchange on which, over time, they are traded most extensively. Other exchange-traded options are valued at the average of the closing bid and ask quotations on the exchange on which, over time, they are traded most extensively. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) currency options and swaptions are valued at mid prices (between the bid and the ask price) supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Other OTC options contracts (including currency options and swaptions not priced through an independent pricing service) are valued based on prices obtained from broker-dealers. Valuations from foreign markets are subject to the Funds’ fair value policies described in the Prospectus.

 

    Futures — current settlement price on the exchange on which the Adviser believes that, over time, they are traded most extensively. Valuations from foreign markets are subject to the Funds’ fair value policies described in the Prospectus.
