The performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Portfolio will fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. See above "Average Annual Total Returns %" for performance information current to the most recent month-end.
Returns for the other share classes will vary due to different charges and expenses. Performance assumes reinvestment of distributions and does not account for taxes.
Total investment return at net asset value has been calculated assuming a purchase at net asset value at the beginning of the period and a sale at net asset value at the end of the period; and assumes reinvestment of dividends, capital gain distributions and return of capital distributions/allocations, if any, in accordance with the provisions of the dividend reinvestment plan. Net asset value equals total Fund assets net of Fund expenses such as operating costs and management fees. Total investment return at net asset value is not annualized for periods less than one year.

The ICE Bank of America U.S. Dollar Three-Month Deposit Offered Rate Constant Maturity Index is designed to track the performance of a synthetic asset paying ICE Term SOFR to a stated maturity. The index is based on the assumed purchase at par of a synthetic instrument having exactly its stated maturity and with a coupon equal to that day’s fixing rate. That issue is assumed to be sold the following business day (priced at a yield equal to the current day rate) and rolled into a new instrument. Effective October 1, 2022 the underlying reference rate for this index was replaced from USD LIBOR to ICE Term SOFR.

Credit quality is based on third-party agency ratings , ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). If ratings are available from each of S&P, Moody's and Fitch, the security is assigned the median rating. If ratings are available from only two of these agencies, the lower rating is assigned. If a rating is available from only one of these three agencies, then that rating is used. If none of S&P, Moody's and Fitch rate the security but it has a Morningstar DBRS rating, then the Morningstar DBRS rating is used (see https://dbrs.morningstar.com/about/disclaimer). Any security that is not rated by these four agencies is placed in the Not Rated (NR) category. Ratings do not apply to the Fund itself or to the Fund shares. Ratings may not accurately reflect risk and are subject to change.
