For each Fund, the following is added to the end of “Appendix [B/C]—Financial Intermediary Waivers” of the Prospectus:

Waivers Specific to Raymond James & Associates, Inc., Raymond James Financial Services & Raymond James Affiliates (“Raymond James”)

 

Effective March 1, 2019, shareholders purchasing Fund shares through a Raymond James platform or account will be eligible only for the following load waivers (front-end sales charge waivers and contingent deferred, or back-end, sales charge waivers) and discounts, which may differ from those disclosed elsewhere in the Fund’s Prospectus or SAI. 

 

Front-end Sales Load Waivers on Class A Shares Available at Raymond James

   
Shares purchased in an investment advisory program
   
Shares purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment when purchasing shares of the same fund (but not any other fund within the fund family)
   
Employees and registered representatives of Raymond James or its affiliates and their family members as designated by Raymond James
   
Shares purchased from the proceeds of redemptions within the same fund family, provided (1) the repurchase occurs within 90 days following the redemption, (2) the redemption and purchase occur in the same account, and (3) redeemed shares were subject to a front-end or deferred sales load (known as Rights of Reinstatement)
   
A shareholder in the Fund’s Class C shares will have their shares converted at net asset value to Class A shares (or the appropriate share class) of the Fund if the shares are no longer subject to a CDSC and the conversion is in line with the policies and procedures of Raymond James
   

CDSC Waivers on Class A and C Shares Available at Raymond James

 

Death or disability of the shareholder
   
Shares sold as part of a systematic withdrawal plan as described in the Fund’s Prospectus
   
Return of excess contributions from an IRA Account
   
Shares sold as part of a required minimum distribution for IRA and retirement accounts due to the shareholder reaching age 70 1/2 as described in this Fund’s Prospectus

2 
 

 

Front-end Load Discounts Available at Raymond James: Breakpoints, and/or Rights of Accumulation

 

Breakpoints as described in this Prospectus
   
Rights of Accumulation (ROA) which entitle shareholders to breakpoint discounts will be automatically calculated based on the aggregated holding of fund family assets held by accounts within the purchaser’s household at Raymond James. Eligible fund family assets not held at Raymond James may be included in the ROA calculation only if the shareholder notifies his or her financial advisor about such assets
