The “Principal Investment Strategies” section of the Summary Prospectus and the Prospectus is modified as follows:

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

Large capitalization companies are those representing approximately the top fifteen percent of the securities in their primary market when ranked in order of market capital. For publicly-traded U.S. companies in the current environment, this would include companies with market capitalizations of more than approximately $5.6 billion. Companies above the fifteen percent threshold for large companies in non-U.S. markets may have capitalizations that differ from this U.S. Dollar equivalent amount because of the wide variation in the range of market capitalizations of companies available for investment in those markets.
