Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), this letter serves as certification that the form of Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information that would have been filed under paragraph (c) of Rule 497 would not have differed from those filed in Post-Effective Amendment No. 195 (“Amendment”) to the Registration Statement of the Registrant. The Amendment was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission electronically on October 14, 2026.

Very truly yours,
