Supplement dated April 19, 2011

to the Current Prospectuses for the

above-named Company/Trusts (“Registrants”)

Effective immediately, each Registrant’s current Prospectuses are hereby revised as follows:

The first two paragraphs of the section entitled “How to Sell Shares – Payments” are hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

Normally, payment for shares redeemed will be made within three days after receipt by the transfer agent of a request in good order. Each Fund has the right to take up to seven days to pay your redemption proceeds and may postpone payment longer in the event of an economic emergency as determined by the SEC. When you place a request to redeem shares for which the purchase money has not yet been collected, the request will be executed at the next determined NAV but a Fund will not release the proceeds until your purchase payment clears. This may take up to 15 days or more. A redemption request made within 15 calendar days after submission of a change of address is permitted only if the request is in writing and is accompanied by a medallion signature guarantee. Redemption requests of an amount of $10 million or more must be submitted in writing by an authorized person.

A medallion signature guarantee may be required in certain circumstances. A request to change the bank designated to receive wire redemption proceeds must be received in writing, signed by an authorized person, and accompanied by a medallion signature guarantee from any eligible guarantor institution. In addition, if you wish to have your redemption proceeds transferred by wire to an account other than your designated bank account, paid to someone other than the shareholder of record, or sent somewhere other than the shareholder’s address of record, you must provide a medallion signature guarantee with your written redemption instructions. Please see the SAI for more details on the medallion signature guarantee program.
