Supplement to the Summary Prospectuses and Prospectuses of the Funds listed in Schedule A

The following change applies to each of the Summary Prospectuses and Prospectuses for each of the Alternative Funds, AMT Funds and Equity Funds (each, a “Trust”) listed in Schedule A:

The Boards of Trustees of the Trusts (the “Board”) recently approved changes in certain benchmarks of the following funds as indicated in the table below (the “Funds”).

Currently, each Fund uses a benchmark that does not adjust for any foreign tax withholding and assumes full dividend reinvestment (i.e., gross of foreign tax withholdings).  However, each Fund’s performance is impacted by foreign tax withholding and reclaims on foreign dividends.  Accordingly, the Board approved a change in the benchmark of each Fund so that each Fund will use the version of its current benchmark that is net of foreign tax withholdings rather than gross of foreign tax withholdings, which is a more appropriate benchmark for each Fund.

Current benchmark will switch from gross to net returns.*

MSCI Emerging Markets Index

* Net total return indexes reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using (for international indexes) a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.  Gross total return indexes reinvest as much as possible of a company’s dividend distributions, regardless of withholding taxes that a non-resident may experience.

To reflect the change in the Funds’ benchmarks, the table of average annual total percentage returns appearing in the section of the prospectuses titled “Performance” for each of the below Funds is hereby amended by adding the following information to each table as set forth below:
