Effective with the rebalancing of each fund’s Underlying Index on May 1, 2024, the
following changes to the ESG screening methodology of each fund’s Underlying Index will be implemented and each fund’s summary
prospectus and prospectus disclosure modified accordingly:
■ ESG scores used in the ESG screening methodology will be calculated by S&P Global
Sustainable1 (“S&P GS1”) instead of S&P Dow Jones Indices (“S&P DJI”) (such new ESG scores being referred to as “S&P Global ESG Scores”). Like S&P DJI ESG scores, S&P Global ESG Scores measure a company’s performance on, and management
of, material ESG risks, opportunities and impacts informed by a combination of company disclosures, media
and stakeholder analysis, modeling approaches and in-depth company engagement via the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability
Assessment (CSA). There will be no change to how ESG scores are used across each fund's Underlying Index. Each
fund’s Underlying Index will use the new S&P Global ESG Scores in the same manner that it used the S&P DJI ESG scores.
■ Determinations as to which companies are excluded from the Underlying Index based
on their engagement in certain business activities will be made by S&P GS1 instead of Sustainalytics. S&P GS1 will
make these determinations utilizing its Business Involvement Screens, which correspond directly to the prior screens and preserve
the prior screens’ levels of business involvement. Companies that are not covered by S&P GS1’s Business Involvement
Screens are excluded from the Underlying Index. Sustainalytics will continue to provide assessments based on the
United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).
Under this new approach, each fund’s Underlying Index will exclude companies that
are involved in any of the following business activities as determined by S&P GS1:
Controversial Weapons. Companies that are, or own 25% or more of a company that is (i) involved in the manufacturing
of weapon components intended solely for use in the production of and are essential for
the functioning of anti-personnel mines, biological and chemical weapons, blinding laser weapons, cluster munitions, depleted

depleted uranium and incendiary weapons and nuclear weapons.

weapons for civilian customers are also excluded.

assembling, sale and transportation of integral military weapons; or (ii) the manufacturing and sales of
weapon-related products.
