The change in the fund&#x2019;s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the fund&#x2019;s board of trustees, including a majority of the independent trustees, upon recommendation of the audit committee, as part of a broader effort to update board oversight and fund operations. At no point during the fund&#x2019;s fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, and the subsequent interim period through November 10, 2025, were there any disagreements between management and D&amp;amp;T on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.&lt;/div&gt;

The change in the fund&#x2019;s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the fund&#x2019;s board of trustees, including a majority of the independent trustees, upon recommendation of the audit committee, as part of a broader effort to update board oversight and fund operations. At no point during the fund&#x2019;s fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, and the subsequent interim period through November 10, 2025, were there any disagreements between management and D&amp;amp;T on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.&lt;/div&gt;</oef:AccountantChngDisagreementsTextBlock>
