The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it
buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes
when Fund Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. Because the Fund has not yet commenced operations as of the date of the Prospectus, no portfolio turnover rate is available for the Fund.
The Fund has a non-fundamental policy to invest, under normal
circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in securities issued by companies that are engaged in the infrastructure business. A
company is considered to be engaged in the infrastructure business if it derives at least 50% of its revenues or earnings from, or devotes at least 50% of its assets to, infrastructure-related activities. Infrastructure refers to the systems and networks of energy, transportation, communication and other services required for the normal function of society. Companies in the infrastructure business are involved in (1) the generation, transmission and distribution of electric energy; (2) the storage, transportation and distribution of natural resources, such as natural gas, used to produce energy; (3) alternative energy sources; (4) transportation services, including the building, operation and maintenance of highways, toll roads, tunnels, bridges and parking lots, airports and ports, railroads and mass transit systems; (5) telecommunications equipment and services, including wireless and cable networks, towers; (6) water treatment and distribution; and (7) other public services such as health care and education. Infrastructure companies also include energy-related companies organized as master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) and their affiliates. The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities of companies, known as real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) that own and/or manage properties. The Fund principally invests in equity securities, including common stocks, of infrastructure companies economically tied to a number of countries around the world, including the U.S., in a globally diversified manner. The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in non-U.S. securities, including emerging markets securities. The Fund considers emerging market countries to include every country in the world except Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. The Fund may invest in large, medium or small capitalization companies. In determining if a security is economically tied to a non-U.S. country, the Fund generally looks to the “country of risk” of the issuer as determined by a third party such as Bloomberg L.P.
