As of the Effective Date, the following information supplements and replaces any contrary information in the sections "Principal Investment Strategy" in the fund's summary prospectus and "Fund Details - Goal and Approach" in the fund's prospectus:

To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests principally in fixed-income securities of U.S. and foreign issuers. Typically, the fund's portfolio can be expected to have an average effective maturity and an average effective duration of three and one-half years or less.

For additional yield, the fund may invest up to 35% of its assets in fixed-income securities rated below investment grade ("high yield" or "junk" bonds) to as low as Caa/CCC or the unrated equivalent as determined by the fund's sub-adviser.

The fund may, but is not required to, use derivatives instruments as a substitute for investing directly in an underlying asset, to increase returns, to manage interest rate risk, to manage the effective duration or maturity of the fund's portfolio, or as part of a hedging strategy. The derivative instruments in which the fund may invest include principally options, futures and options on futures (including those relating to securities, foreign currencies, indices and interest rates), forward contracts and swaps (including interest rate and credit default swaps).

******

As of the Effective Date, the following information supplements the information in the section "Principal Risks" in the fund's summary prospectus:

Derivatives risk. A small investment in derivatives could have a potentially large impact on the fund's performance. The use of derivatives involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the underlying assets, and the fund's use of derivatives may result in losses to the fund. Derivatives in which the fund may invest can be highly volatile, illiquid and difficult to value, and there is the risk that changes in the value of a derivative held by the fund will not correlate with the underlying assets or the fund's other investments in the manner intended. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the initial investment, and involve greater risks than the underlying assets because, in addition to general market risks, they are subject to liquidity risk, credit and counterparty risk (failure of the counterparty to the derivatives transaction to honor its obligation) and pricing risk (risk that the derivative cannot or will not be accurately valued).

******

As of the Effective Date, the following information supplements the information in the section "Fund Details – Goal and Approach" in the fund's prospectus:

Although not a principal investment strategy, the fund also may invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

As of the Effective Date, the following information supplements the information in the section "Fund Details – Investment Risks" in the fund's prospectus:

ETF and other investment company risk. To the extent the fund invests in pooled investment vehicles, such as ETFs and other investment companies, the fund will be affected by the investment policies, practices and performance of such entities in direct proportion to the amount of assets the fund has invested therein. The risks of investing in other investment companies, including ETFs, typically reflect the risks associated with the types of instruments in which the investment companies invest. When the fund invests in an ETF or other investment company, shareholders of the fund will bear indirectly their proportionate share of the expenses of the ETF or other investment company (including management fees) in addition to the expenses of the fund. ETFs are exchange-traded investment companies that are, in many cases, designed to provide investment results corresponding to an index. The value of the underlying securities can fluctuate in response to activities of individual companies or in response to general market and/or economic conditions. Additional risks of investments in ETFs include: (i) the market price of an ETF's shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value; (ii) an active trading market for an ETF's shares may not develop or be maintained; or (iii) trading may be halted if the listing exchanges' officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide "circuit breakers" (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts trading generally. The fund will incur brokerage costs when purchasing and selling shares of ETFs.

As of the Effective Date, the following information supersedes and replaces the information in the fourth paragraph in the section "Fund Details – Management" in the fund's prospectus:

David Bowser, CFA, Scott Zaleski, CFA and Gautam Khanna, CFA are the fund's primary portfolio managers, positions they have held since July 2008, July 2019 and May 2022, respectively. Messrs. Bowser, Zaleski and Khanna are jointly and primarily responsible for managing the fund's portfolio. Mr. Bowser is a senior portfolio manager at INA. He has been employed by INA or a predecessor company of INA since 2000. Mr. Zaleski is a senior portfolio manager at INA. He has been employed by INA or a predecessor company of INA since 2014.
