IV. GLOBAL EQUITY FUND RISK/RETURN SUMMARY:
  (i)
The following replaces the first paragraph in the sub‑section entitled “Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund” in the Risk/Return Summary section for the Global Equity Fund in the Prospectus listed above:
The Fund has a non‑fundamental policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the value of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in equity securities. The Fund invests principally in equity securities, including common stocks and preferred stocks, of companies economically tied to a number of countries around the world, including the U.S., and in depositary receipts representing shares in such companies, in a globally diversified manner. A portion of the Fund’s securities are denominated in foreign currencies and are typically held outside the U.S. The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in equity securities of companies that are economically tied to emerging market countries. The Fund considers emerging market countries to include every country in the world except Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal,
Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. The Fund invests principally in large and medium capitalization companies, but may also invest in small capitalization companies. The Fund defines large and medium capitalization companies as those companies represented by the MSCI World Index or with market capitalization within the capitalization range of the MSCI World Index. The Fund may employ long-short strategies pursuant to which it gains exposure to a portfolio of long and short equity securities through derivative positions. The Fund may also purchase equity securities to implement its long-short strategies. Equity securities in which the Fund invests include common stocks, preferred stocks, partnership interests, depositary receipts and equity-equivalent securities or instruments whose value is based on common stocks, such as futures contracts.
  (ii)
The following risk is added after “Active Management” in the sub‑section entitled “Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund” in the Risk/Return Summary section for the Global Equity Fund in the Prospectus listed above:
   
Short Positions Risk. The Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short position if the price of the shorted security increases over the tenor of the short position. Short positions may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of portfolio securities. Short positions have the potential for unlimited loss.
