Performance Table Narrative The Fund’s R6 class commenced operations on June 29, 2016. For the periods prior to commencement of operations of the Fund’s R6 class, the R6 class performance information shown below is for the Fund’s IS class. The performance of the Fund’s IS class has not been adjusted to reflect the expenses applicable to the R6 class since the R6 class has a lower expense ratio than the expense ratio of the IS class.

In addition to Return Before Taxes, Return After Taxes is shown for the Fund’s IS class to illustrate the effect of federal taxes on Fund returns.
