A credit rating is an assessment provided by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) of the creditworthiness of an issuer with respect to debt obligations. Ratings are measured on a scale that generally ranges from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Investment grade is defined as those issuers that have a long-term credit rating of BBB- or higher. “NR” indicates no rating. The credit ratings shown relate to the credit worthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities in the Fund, and not to the Fund or its shares. Credit ratings are subject to change. </div> <div style="font-family:'times new roman';font-size:9pt;letter-spacing:1.25px;text-transform:uppercase;text-align:center;padding-bottom:5pt;font-weight:bold;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);margin-top:5pt;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;border-bottom-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1pt;"> <b>Top Ten Holdings</b> </div><table style="width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;break-inside:avoid-page;page-break-inside:avoid"> <tr style="break-inside:avoid-page;page-break-inside:avoid;height:auto;border-bottom-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-width:1pt"> <td style="break-inside: avoid-page;
